Masses of details in images ; Relatively light body ; Robust build ; Great JPEGs straight out of camera ; Two cards slots

Not the easiest body to handle ; No 4K video recording ; Small AF lever a little fiddly ; EVF can show aliasing with fine details ; No sensor-based image stabilisation

The GFX 50R won’t be for everyone – even those who can afford it – but if you need to be relatively mobile without compromising on image quality, this deserves to be on your shortlist.

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...

A new line-up of Fujinon GF lenses, designed specifically for the GFX camera system, supports the new G-Mount. Taking advantage of the mirrorless system’s structure, the G Mount has the short flange back distance of just 26.7mm to shorten the back...
