  Uses bulkier lenses than full-frame cameras, Dated contrast detect autofocus system, 3fps continuous drive is on the slow side, Limited to 1080p video recording

The GFX50S II brings Fujifilm’s medium format system to a more affordable price point while still delivering more than enough quality for most photographers. By taking the surprisingly compact body of the GFX100S, the 50S II inherits the latest controls and features including built-in stabilisation,...

  Sluggish AF compared to other mirrorless, No 4K video, Heavy for long handheld use

“The Fujifilm GF 30mm f3.5 R WR has great image quality overall. That statement is said from a pretty technical standpoint. It’s also one of Fujifilm’s most sterile lenses that I’ve seen. Maybe that’s because it’s designed for the GF format.

Although the GFX 50S impressed me when it was announced back in September 2016, I’m more excited about the Fujifilm GFX 50S II. Granted, a camera that costs over £3,000 has niche appeal, but Fujifilm has parred back some of the features to make a less complicated and more affordable camera that will...

  Contrast detection AF, Laggy (but high-resolution) viewfinder

Fujifilm’s upgrade to its relatively affordable 50MP GFX camera doesn’t look very impressive on paper – no 4K video, only 3fps continuous shooting speed – but some significant changes both inside and out have made this the first 50MP stabilized shooter from Fujifilm, with the cheapest price tag for...

  Image-quality advantage over high-end full-frame isn’t clear cut, Tiny exposure compensation button, Slow continuous shooting

The GFX 50S II is an excellent addition to Fujifilm’s medium format line-up and a welcome evolution of the 50-megapixel category. It also carries the lowest RRP on release of any medium format camera sold in Australia, which is noteworthy in itself.

  Fantastic camera

• +

  Very happy with the quality of the images straight out of the camera. With the kit lens. Handheld as easy as tripod ones, it is comfortable to hold and carry and the image stabilisation is very effective. For what I do, landscape and environmental detail it is excellent, I have had no issues so far.
