GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Portrait, Street & Documentary Photography — GFX 50R (2018): 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.
Street, Travel & Everyday Photography — X100F (2017): The X100F is the camera that made the X100 series legendary — 24MP X-Trans III, a hybrid viewfinder, and the best fixed 35mm compact lens available.
