Verdictwhich should you buy?
GFX 100 — Commercial, Studio & Landscape Photography: The world's first 100MP mirrorless with IBIS and phase-detect AF — the GFX 100 was a landmark in medium format, but its size and weight are professional-grade.
GFX 50R — Portrait, Street & Documentary Photography: The most portable GFX camera of its era — 51MP in a rangefinder-style body for photographers who want medium-format quality with a more discreet form.
