Fujifilm GFX 50R Sensor

Recently I was talking to sources, asking how moch the Fujifilm GFX 50R will cost.

I didn’t get an answer yet (no final price for the Fujifilm GFX 50R has been set yet), but I got to hear an interesting tidbit.

The 50 megapixel medium format sensor of the Fujifilm GFX alone costs $2,000!

This comes from trusted source, hence you don’t need to take any grain of salt.

With that said, it seems clear to me that it will be hard for Fujifilm to price the Fujifilm GFX 50R below $4,000, since you have to build also an entire camera around that $2,000 sensor and ship it all over the world, pay the labor cost etc.

*** Fujifilm GFX 50R Real Life Image ***

Quick notice: unlike suggested elsewere, the Fujifilm GFX 50R won’t be announced on September 23 ±1 day but on another day.

HOT!!! Fujifilm GFX 50R First Image Leaked?

Fujifilm GFX 50 R

Could this be the first real life image of the Fujifilm GFX 50 R? (thanks for sharing)

If yes, then here is what we can say:

  • rangefinder style camera
  • EVF only
  • diopter adjustment like on X-Pro2 and not on X-E3
  • makes a compact impression
  • in this image, there is probably a flash trigger attached to the hot shoe

We remind you that the Fujifilm GFX 50 R will be launched around photokina (which takes place between 26 to 29 September). It will be rangefinder styled medium format camera and if this image is real, with EVF only, hence more similar to the Fujifilm X-E3 than to the Fujifilm X-Pro3.

The final Fujifilm GFX 50 R price has not yet been set, I guess also because Fujifilm wants to see at what price tag the Full Frame Canon EOS R is. But in any case it will be significantly less than Fujiilm GFX 50S

But already now I feel pretty confident to claim, that the Fujiflm GFX 50R will look much better than the Fujifilm GFX 50S.

Nikon Z vs. Fujifilm X-H1 and GFX 50S Size & Ergonomics Compared

Nikon Z Vs. Fujifilm

Nikoneye.com has shared a bunch of size comparison between the Nikon Z and other mirrorless cameras from Fujifilm, Sony, Panasonic and Olympus. You can see the results down below.

Above you can see a comparison of the ergonomics between the Fujifilm X-H1 and the Nikon Z. The Nikon Z has no clickable rear command dial (which can be handy if you need to change settings and create less shake as possible), but a customizable top dial (like on X-T100).

Overall the back of the Nikon Z has more buttons than the X-H1. The Fujifilm X-H1 makes a more cleaned up impression to me and there seems to be more space for your hands without risking to press accidentaly some buttons.

On the top, both feature a secondary LCD screen. The Nikon Z has a PSAM dial and a customizable dial, whereas the Fujifilm X-H1 has ISO dial, Shutter dial and 2 sub dials for metering modes and drive settings.

The flexibility of the X system allows it to leave the shutter dial on T or the ISO dial at A, and then use the clickable command dials to change your settings.

With that said, it’s hard/impossible to make any conclusions, if you didn’t try a camera in your hands.

The Astonishing Efficiency of the Godox/Flashpoint AC Adapter – by Fujifilm GFX 50S Shooter Markus Klinko

guest post & all images by Markus Klinko

When I initially began to integrate Flashpoint XPLOR H1200 into my workflow, HSS, portability and the long lasting lithium batteries were key factors in my decision to switch from Broncolor to Flashpoint/Godox.

With the release of the 600 PRO earlier this year, I began to add more units, enough to be able to light for any conceivable studio or location requirements. I may use as many as 20 lights for a setup, or just one, but for sure I like to always have a good number of spares available.

On a recent shoot with singer/actress Becky G for the cover of GALORE magazine, and another shoot for VOGUE, I needed to have various set ups ready at once. I used only a single 600 PRO inside a modified BRONCOLOR FLOOTER S for a series of dramatic sky shots in HSS mode, and also a late afternoon pool shot, but I needed 20 units to light a series of colorful, 2000s pop inspired studio shots.

Fujifilm GFX 50S 2.3 Gigapixel Image :: GF Lens Reviews & Much More (GFX Roundup)

This will be a rather huge Fujifilm GFX 50S (and lenses) roundup… so let’s start.

Drew wrote me: “I was commissioned by the Daily Telegraph to shoot this Gigapixel image of Trooping the colour to celebrate the queens birthday. I thought It might be of interest. It was was shot on the Fujifilm GFX 50S with the 250mm lens. It is a truly amazing combination – perfectly suited to gigapixel imagery”.

Fuji Guys Compare X100F and X-E3, Which One Should You Buy? :: Hack a Wide Angle Converter :: LeicaQ Vs. Fuji X-E3 & More

Fuji Guys X100F Vs. X-E3

The Fuji Guys just published their Fujifilm X-E3 Vs. X100F comparison, and try to give an answer to the question which one suits you better.

I personally struggled with the same question, and at the end decided to go for the X-E3, because I own plenty of Fujinon lenses already, and because the X-E3 had bluetooth (I like to geo-tag my images in travels).

I do not care much about the touch screen, and use it only for the 4 swipe FN functions.

But of course the X100F has its strenghts too, such as the hybrid viewfinder and a feature strangely not mentioned by the Fuji Guys, but that I’d love to have on my X-E3: the combined ISO/Shutter dial.

Other than that, the X100F shines due to the leaf shutter and due to… let’s say… it’s philosophy: carry less (fixed lens), keep it simple, do not stress, go out and shoot.

The final conclusions are made while eating the Fujifilm Film Simulation Noodles, which we reported already 2 weeks ago about.
