Fujifilm GFX Vs Canon 5DSR Vs Pentax 645Z

I thought it’s time to take a break from all the rumors surrounding the imminent launch of the Fujifilm X-H1, X-A5, X-A20, XC15-45 and more, and dive into the Fujifilm GFX 50S medium format world.

This time the Fujifilm GFX 50S with GF 63mmF2.8 has to battle against the Canon 5DSR with Sigma 50mmF1.4 Art vs Pentax 645z with Pentax 55mmF2.8, all 50MP cameras.

But who will be the winner?

The video above has been shared at Sonder Creative Youtube (who is also a member of our GFX group). Some highlights:

  • Sharpness Fujinon lenses win hands down. Sharp from edge to edge even wide open.
  • He prefers Canon colors, but it’s a personal preference. More accurate and warmer colors.
  • Canon focusses faster in low light
  • He wants even wider aperutre lenses than the GF 110mmF2. FF has shallower DOF because of the fast lenses available.
  • DR on Canon sucks, so he used the A7rIII in this test
  • DR on Pentax is best, better than GFX, even if same sensor. Sony A7rII much worst
  • Pentax is ugly but user friendly
  • GFX EVF little lag to switch on

Focus Stacking on X-A5

What a crazy day this is… with massive leaks one after another, and I don’t expect them to stop for the next 2 weeks, until the Fujifilm X-H1 announcement.

This is why you should make absolutely sure to follow us on Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter.

We have shared today already:

Yes, even the X-A5 Catalogue leaked already. And I thought I must dedicate an own article to one specific feature Fujifilm mentions in the X-A5 catalogue: “Multi Focus”, or, as Fujifilm says a mode that “automatically composes multi images to generate a sharp image with deep depth of field.”

In other words: focus stacking in camera!

And yes, I’m with you guys: I demand Kaizen Firmware for all other Fujifilm cameras! :)

Fujifilm X-A5, X-A20 and XC 15-45 announcement at around midnight today New York Time. Don’t miss the FujiRumors Live Blogging.
