51.4MP Medium Format MIrrorless. The Fuji GFX 50S utilizes a 43.8 × 32.9mm CMOS sensor for superior sharpness and image quality in a relatively compact mirrorless form-factor. The larger-than-full-frame sensor size has a reverse crop factor of 0.79x, so keep that in mind when selecting lenses.

Multi Aspect Ratio. Can be adapted to various aspect ratios, including 4:3 (default), 3:2, 1:1, 4:5, 6:7, and 6:17.

Fuji G-Mount. The larger-medium format sensor requires lenses with a larger image circle, thus was born the G-mount. As it’s designed for mirrorless, the G-mount features a short flange back distance of just 26.7mm. Fuji X-mount lenses are not compatible with the medium format GFX.

X-Processor Pro Imaging Processor. With large amounts of data captured, the GFX needed a powerful processor to handle the load.

Detachable Electronic Viewfinder. The 3.69M-dot OLED electronic viewfinder features 0.85x magnification while offering 100% coverage. Wish the EVF tilted? The optional enables it. If you don’t need the viewfinder, take it off; it’s removable! You can then just use the 3.2-inch, 2.36M-dot tilting, touch-sensitive rear LCD.

Durable Build. The GFX 50S features a weather- and dust-resistant build, operating in temperatures as low as 14º Fahrenheit. The camera has dual SDHC / XC card slots that support UHS-II memory, and the included rechargeable NP-T125 battery is rated for an estimated 400 shots per charge. If you need additional power, we also carry the .

The world of mirrorless medium format is upon us! So far, the Fuji is my favorite option out there. Image quality is spectacular, AF is snappy and flexible, controls are intuitive, and the modularity of the whole system makes it easy to customize to your needs.
