Fujifilm GFX 50R Review
The Fujifilm GFX 50R matches the imaging capabilities of its fraternal twin, the GFX 50S, but is better styled for use outside the studio.

Fujifilm GFX 50R Review
Fujifilm's GFX 50R takes the image quality from the existing 50S model and wraps it in a new body with new controls and a lower price of entry. Is that enough to tempt you to pick one up for yourself? Find out how the GFX 50R performs in our full review.
The GFX 50R is the least expensive medium format digital camera available. Like the Pentax 645Z it benefits hugely from inheriting a interface that's been subjected to the evolutionary pressures of the mass market. This means the GFX is as easy to use...

Fujifilm GFX 50R review: bigger isn’t always best
Fujifilm's GFX 50R looks new, but is familiar underneath
Compact, familiar design ; Same film simulations as Fujifilm’s other cameras ; Above average battery life ; Least expensive way to get a modern medium format digital camera
Slow autofocus ; Slow, continuous shooting speed ; Not as good in low light as smaller cameras
That makes the 50R a bit disappointing if you were hoping to use it as a medium format camera on the go. It still performs its best in slow, deliberate environments, such as in a studio or on a landscape photographer’s tripod. Despite it looking like...

Fujifilm GFX 50R First Impressions Review
The GFX 50R is a 50MP rangefinder-style mirrorless camera. It borrows heavily from the existing 50S model but in a smaller body and at a lower price. How does it differ?

The company's eagerly awaited "affordable" version of its GFX 50S trims features you probably won't miss -- and a couple you might.

Fujifilm GFX 50R
What We Love. Medium format film shooters need not despair any longer. That is, if the only thing that's keeping them from switching is the high price point of these digital medium formats on the market these days. At $4,499--less than $1000 than its...

Fujifilm GFX 50R Review
Fujifilm have succeeded in making a medium-format camera that's smaller, lighter, cheaper and easier to use with the release of the GFX 50R. It's not all perfect, but never has medium format photography been quite so accessible.

Fujifilm GFX 50R Review
The medium-format Fuji GFX 50R shares many of its features and performance with the GFX 50S, but offers them in a slimmer, less ergonomic body at a lower price point. Importantly, the same excellent 51-megapixel image sensor continues to deliver...
Same superb image quality as the 50S; Slightly improved performance; Less expensive and slimmer than 50S.
Lackluster ergonomics; Sluggish autofocus; Poor video features and performance.
