Kai Wong: Takes on The Fujifilm GFX 50S and Comes Away Impressed

• 7 years ago

Just about all of the big vloggers have covered the GFX already, so Kai is a little late but better late than never. Maybe he was waiting for a sale… either way he has plenty of good things to say about the GFX.

• It’s a lightweight body, but the lens is large
• Looks like I big X-T2
• The viewfinder is like having a TV strapped to your eye
• Tilty flippy screen
• Lots of X DNA
• The camera feels familiar
• Film simulations
• The design makes sense
• The manual dials are better than non-descript buttons
• Film simulations are very good
• Not X-Tran
• The colors are lush
• Contrast-detect AF works much better than the first time he tried it at the photo show
• Very usable high ISO
• Fuji Colors are better than anyone else including Canon
• Files are detailed and rich

Negative

• Contradetectect AF struggles in low light
• Maybe too niche
