GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Commercial, Portrait & Landscape Photographers — GFX 100S (2021): 102MP medium-format with IBIS and phase-detect AF at a price that made serious large-format imaging available to a new generation of photographers.
Film Photography Enthusiasts & Fujifilm X-Mount Collectors — X-Pro1 (2012): The camera that started it all — slow, imperfect, and still uniquely loveable for the quality of images it produces.
