Fujifilm GFX 50S II

The GFX 50S II is the most affordable medium format camera on the market and Fujifilm's most accessible pathway to larger-format rendering. Its 51.4MP BSI sensor — larger than any full-frame sensor — delivers files with a tonal quality and dynamic range that full-frame cameras cannot match. Seven-stop IBIS from the 100S platform is included, making hand-held shooting practical. The trade-offs relative to the 100S II are real: 51MP rather than 102MP, an older AF system without subject recognition, and slower operation. For photographers where the medium format rendering quality rather than the pixel count is the primary draw, the GFX 50S II makes that quality available at an accessible price. The GF lens system is optically excellent and designed explicitly for the format's specific rendering characteristics.

GearFrame's Take

Medium format quality at the most accessible price ever — 51MP detail and tonal richness no APS-C or full-frame body can replicate.
