GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?

Studio, Portrait & Landscape Photography — GFX 50S (2017): The camera that launched Fujifilm's medium-format revolution — 51MP at a price that made serious large-format imaging possible for the first time.

Travel, Outdoor & Adventure Photography — OM-3 (2024): The ideal mid-range OM System camera — weather sealed, class-leading IBIS, and superb computational features in a compact body.

GFX 50S (2017)

OM-3 (2024)

  • Outdoor and adventure photographers who need weather sealing and compact size
  • Wildlife and bird photographers wanting improved AF over the OM-5
  • Travel shooters who want a rugged, lightweight MFT system
