Neocamera detailed reviewFujifilm GFX 50R Assessment
The Fujifilm GFX-50R offers a second option for the Fujifilm Medium Format, making itself more portable while maintaining the same performance of the original GFX-50S. Its heart is a 0.8X-crop very high-resolution 50 MP sensor with an ISO 100-12800 standard sensitivity-range, expandable to ISO 50 to 102,400.
Image quality from the GFX-50R is nothing short of amazing. All details are extremely sharp, noise is very low and dynamic-range is class-leading. The metering system is highly reliable and requires minimal adjustment. Color rendition is superb, although Auto White-Balance, which can be easily corrected, is below average.
What it achieves in image-quality, it loses in speed due to the huge volume of data coming from its sensor. This digital camera is slower than recent mirrorless and DSLRs on most fronts. Particularly limiting is a long black-out time and slow shot-to-shot speed, although its Contrast Detect AF system is fast enough to be usable.
This is a very specialized digital camera and so we highly recommend to read both the Fujifilm GFX-50R review and the Fujifilmnon GFX Lens Roundup. Its new system only offers a handful of lenses are available, limiting it to certain types of photography.
