The Fujifilm GFX 50S is a medium format mirrorless camera with a 51.4 Megapixel sensor that's 1.7 times larger than the full-frame 35mm format. It's the first model in Fujifilm's new GFX system, aimed at photographers who want the ultimate in image quality. I've been shooting with a pre-production body and all three of the new lenses, so check out my Fujifilm GFX 50S sample images!…

The new Fuji GFX 50S II is the most affordable medium-format ever released - it's so cheap that it competes with high-end 35mm full-frame cameras like the Sony Alpha 7R IV, Canon EOS R5 and Nikon Z7 II. But surely there's a catch - is it just too affordable for its own good? Find out now by reading our in-depth Fujifilm GFX 50S II review, complete with full-size sample photos and videos...

Complete Review of the Fuji GFX 50S, Part One: Introduction, Initial Thoughts, and Why I Chose It Over the GFX 50R

Today, I begin a series of five articles going in depth into my experience shooting with the Fujifilm GFX 50S medium format mirrorless camera for an entire month. The sheer number of articles in my mind that have been generated by shooting with this camera may give you some indication of how I felt about my experience. But, rather than just give you a brief technical review of the camera specs, I thought it might be more useful to those considering purchasing one to give you the full, in-depth story of what it is like to own and operate this camera in the real world. Warts and all.
