This Fujifilm GFX 50s Roundup is brought to you entirely by the Fujifilm GFX facebook group, biggest source of inspiration for FujiRumors (and Co :) )

Fujifilm GFX 50s Review

Sebastian Lee (check out his instagram) is a very active Fujifilm GFX facebook group member, who shared many awesome images on the group and I had the pleasure to feature here on FujiRumors already.

Well, he now completed his Fujifilm GFX review, and it’s a great real world review that includes also wonderful images. And btw, he uses also a Sony A7rII (oh, well, he sold it now :) ) and could also test the Hasselblad X1D.

You can read his review at sebimagery here. Here an excerpt:

“But I must tell you…there is something about it [the look of the images]. […] I’m just very pleased with the images coming out of the GFX. Now keep in mind my day to day camera is a 42MP Sony A7R2. This is only a 8MP bump going to the GFX. But there’s just (enter W. Shatner voice) some….thing about the images. Hell…maybe there is some magic after all?

[…]

Maybe I’m just becoming a better photographer….haha…nah it’s gotta be magic. Maybe it’s just a illusion in my head. I simply don’t care…I’m really enjoying this camera and right now it looks like I’m going to be buying one. I took the first step and sold my A7R2 last week.

Are my photos any better? Nope I don’t think so. Are they a little sharper…yeah…the details are better and sharper by a little bit. I look at 200% and 300% shots and I’m constantly impressed with the images and I simply enjoy shooting with it. But it’s not twice as good….

[…] for portraits, macro/detail and land/cityscapes…this thing is a beast!

[…] And yeah, I get it, $10,000 for a body and two lenses is a significant investment and again…that magic question to most…”is it worth it?”. That’s up to you…for this dude….yeah…it’s totally f***ing worth it.”

Aurora Timelapse

Another Fujifilm GFX facbeook member, William Chua, shared his Aurora timelapse video on the GFX group here. You can check it out on his website williamchua here or directly at vimeo here.

Full lab test of the GF32-64, GF120 and GF63 at the French site lemondedelaphoto (translation): “The sharpness is generally excellent considering the level of requirement of a 50 Mpxl sensor, vignetting and distortion are very well contained, only the distortion measured on the 120 mm may require a small correction in post-processing.”

“Guys, I got a serious problem here: after shooting two days with GFX (testing) how I go back and shoot with my Sony A7r2 :( “

As to expect, the comment section is running hot, and Aziz explains:

“I am 100% honest with you, not paid by Fuji. This camera is absolutely the best camera that I ever had. It is amazing in low light and boosting shadows and recovering the highlights. Now it doesn’t offer the best lens combination but it will come with the time.

[…] the GFX is much richer in depth and really deliver cleaner images.”

one of my reason to buy GFX is because the sensor is bigger than 24×36 and it comes with nice EVF

Damien Lovegrove shared here:
There is a calmness to these GFX images that I find alluring. They were shot in natural light with the 32-64mm lens wide open at f/4. Part of the calmness comes because the camera is on a tripod and the stillness is a result of me using 1/30th second exposure. With my X-T2 I’m usually darting around working hand held or with it on a monopod. I now have a different approach when using the GFX and I love it.

Sony A6500 Vs Fujifilm X-T2

Mat & Heather from Mirrorlessons just shared their complete comparison between the Fujifilm X-T2 Vs. Sony A6500. It’s as usual a very well done and detailed comparison. From the handling, the controls, the menu, the viewfinder, autofocus, and of course also high ISO, dynamic range and image quality overall. Excellent work, Mirrorlessons!

And who’s the winner? Well, it depends. Mirrorlessons says:

Choose the Sony a6500 if:

• you want better video features (picture profiles, 120fps in Full HD, etc.)
• you want to take advantage of 5-axis stabilisation with lenses that lack OSS
• you can’t live without a touch screen (works for the AF only)
• you want a more compact body

Choose the Fujifilm X-T2 if:

• you want better usability thanks to the numerous dials and dual SD card slot
• you want a larger EVF (it’s one of the best on the market)
• you want a better selection of APS-C lenses
• you like the idea of “downloading” a new camera every now and then

Read (and enjoy) the full comparison at mirrorlessons here.

Fujifilm GFX Vs. Hasselblad X1D

As probably many of you guys, I’m also curious about the ongoing Hasselblad X1D review at dpreview. They just shared their first impressions, and what’s relevant for Fuji Lovers, is that their studio scene samples now include also the Hasselblad X1D.

So yes, it’s time to pixel peep and compare the Hasselblad X1D (specs&price) with the Fujifilm GFX 50s (specs&price).

Although, I remind you that Fujifilm said that current Fujinon GF lenses are not used at their full potential, since they are designed to to resolve 100+ Megapixel. So it will be interesting to see if, once the 100 megapixel BSI Medium Format sensor comes true, the results will be still quite close or if the Fujinon glass will then start to shine and set apart the competition :)

So, check out the the Hasselblad First Impressions of dpreview here. And for the pixel peeping, go to their studio samples here.
