When I obtained both the Hasselblad X1D-50c and the Fuji GFX 50S for testing earlier this year, I wanted to put the two systems side-by-side and see which one I would prefer over the other.

Fujifilm surprised the camera world last year with the introduction of the GFX 50S , its first medium-format mirrorless. The shooter, which is now available for $6,500 body only, packs a large 51.4-megapixel CMOS sensor (43.8 x 32.9mm) in a DSLR-like frame that only weighs 1.6lbs (740g).

The layout and options available allow you to get as engaged as you like via the controls and many imaging options available, or you can set it up so that you can shoot quickly and spontaneously when the spirit moves you.

Fujifilm seems to be on quite the mission lately, having refreshed the majority of its mirrorless camera range in the past 12 months. Now it’s turning its attention towards an even bigger prize. The GFX 50S is Fuji’s first medium-format release since 2008’s GF670.

An outstanding new medium-format system for pros and super-serious enthusiasts.

The Fujifilm GFX 50S magically offers medium-format image quality in a camera body that's comparable in size and weight to a 35mm full-frame DSLR. Being able to use a camera with such a large sensor both in and out of a studio environment is something of a revelation, with the main reward being...

Instead of going full frame, Fujifilm is pushing the boundaries of mirrorless with a new medium format camera, the GFX 50S. Having shot medium format film cameras in the past, I was looking forward to a pre-production model accompanying me home for the weekend.

ah, so you are going on a trip, you are seeing beautiful places, and you want a camera that can handle what you throw at it, and resolve everything for decades to come. Well enter GFX stage left.

I rented the Fuji GFX 50S along with the 32-64 mm lens and the 120 mm Macro for a 3 week family/wildlife photography vacation. I am a Micro 4/3 user but wanted to get some photos I could print to larger size.Size - The GFX 50S is enormous and ridiculously heavy compared to my Pen E-P5.

What I liked about the GFX:The images this camera generates are simply unbelievable. The high-ISO capabilities and shadow recovery are superb. This has been the first digital camera I've ever used that produced images that reminded me of film - nearly wet/liquid, as if you were looking at a medium...

I am just getting used to this camera system but find it a great move from the full frame DSLR. I have used the Leica S and Hasselblad X1D and am a fan of both, but the Fuji system has some advantages over both, including an nutritive operating system, great customization, and reasonable cost for...

This is the best of color sharpnes easy to use just i love it
