Today dpreview added Fuji $6k+ MF camera to its Studio comparison tool. After getting this news alert I was really excited to see the test samples of this Medium format camera against some fullframe cameras of today such as Nikon D810, Canon 5DS R and Ultra famous as Sony A7 R2 mirrorless camera.
Fujifilm GFX features BIG 50 megapixel medium format sensor. The camera is using a X Pro-processor for processing images. Whereas the other competitors in the list carry Fullframe sensor, but you should know and note that Sony is the only FF camera which features most advance BSI CMOS sensor in the list.
1. Fujifilm GFX 50S vs Sony A7R II
Before we begin we must appreciate the presence of Sony A7RII camera among the list. The Sony A7R II camera is one of the most affordable camera among the group and its high image quality allowing him to stand against high-end DSLRs and Medium format camera.
2. Resolution and High ISO
The 50 MP Resolution and the details captures by Medium Format sensor is dominating the entire test results. However the High ISO results look bit better than Nikon D810 and Sony A7R II which was unexpected, we were expecting better results from Fujifilm.
3. Moire Test
We are really disappointed after looking at the Moire test results of Fuji GFX 50S medium format camera. Whereas the full frame sensor based Nikon D810 camera showing well controlled images without any Moire pattern.
Fujifilm GFX medium format camera first test shots surfaced at imaging resource website. The medium format sensor of Fuji shows us enormous amount details in each and every pic. Till now we know Pentax 645Z As one of the best consumer medium format camera available to date. But when you look at the high ISO test images side by side of Pentax 645Z and Fujifilm GFX then you will going to see the Fuji medium format camera is more superior compared to the Pentax 645Z.
Base ISO TEST
At base ISO test both camera were kept at ISO 100 while capturing the shot. And the images clearly show us that Fujifilm technique is more advanced and better compared to the existing technology used inside the printer 645Z camera.
High ISO Test
Not only at base ISO Fuji performing better, the images captured at ISO 6400 then the noise management of UGC gfx is more better compared to the Pentax. You can see from your eyes that the pic captured by physical gfx medium format camera showing various colour as compared to the Pentax 645 Z not only that the colour output at Higher so he’s very well controlled compared to its competitor.
Fujifilm GFX 50S formal announcement was made on September 20 2016, but from yesterday the camera is available for pre-order in several online stores worldwide. Along with the camera three lenses are also available for pre-order
Fuji is planned to announce three more MF lenses this year. To get your desired system you have to keep a $10K budget and it’s also true that most of us are not able to effort this system right now. But as the competition is increasing we do hope that in future we will do see more MF products with a very competitive price tags.
