It’s hard to believe that you can buy a mirrorless Medium Format camera for less than the price of most full-frame cameras on the market. Believe it, though, because, for a short time, the Fujifilm GFX 50R can be yours for $2,999. What a steal!
The Fujifilm GFX 50R was one of the first Fujifilm medium format cameras to hit the market that appealed to the masses. The Rangefinder-styler design resonated instantly with photographers who love stylish cameras, and let’s face it, the 50R just looked so much better than the GFX 50S that preceded it. The Fujifilm GFX 50R isn’t just a camera with a pretty face, though. No, the GFX 50R packs a punch when it comes to specs. Let’s take a look at them.

As you can see, the Fujifilm GFX 50R is loaded with incredible tech. The 51.4-megapixel sensor is a thing of beauty. I have been fortunate to use the GFX 50R several times and I have always been blown away by the images it can help produce. The colors are glorious, the tones are splendid, the dynamic range is incredible and images have more details than you can shake a stick at.
The autofocus system is excellent as well. There are 117 autofocus points, all of which are incredibly accurate. The AF system in general is very snappy. I had no problems using this medium format camera for street photography, portraits, and even some wildlife photography.
