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 50S II — Studio & Portrait Specialists: Medium format quality at the most accessible price ever — 51MP detail and tonal richness no APS-C or full-frame body can replicate.
