Fujifilm GFX 50S High ISO, Weddings and Long Exposure Photography

The testing is going to come fast and furious now that the Fujifilm GFX 50S launch is imminent. Many photographers are excited about using the Fujifilm GFX 50S for long exposure photography. Don Craig created the above image over 120 seconds using the Fujifilm X-Pro2. Don has some other great images on his page and is looking forward to making long exposures with the new GFX 50S as well. You can see his post here.

e-zone published a high ISO test that includes an expanded ISO range test today. I think 25,600. ISO looks pretty good from e-zone and DC.Fever’s test from the previous post.

The Fujifilm GFX and X-T2 Are Selling Better Than Expected

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 27, 2017


Amateur Photographer interviewed Mr Makoto Oishi and it seems Fujifilm’s flagship products are selling well. Fujifilm “sold more X-T2’s than we ever expected” and “The X-T2 has big demand and with the GFX there’s more demand than we expected.” Amateur Photographer also asked about the Fujifilm X-E3 plus “rumored” telephoto Fujinon telephoto prime and ultra-wide zooms, but Mr. Makoto only said “The next lens may be wider.”

It doesn’t sound like Fujifilm will be slowing down with the X-system anytime soon, even with them ramping up production of the Fujifilm GFX. It’s a good time to be a Fujifilm addict.

The Last Day Before The Fujifilm GFX 50S Ships Let The Testing Begin: Fujifilm GFX 50S vs Canon 5D Mark IV

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 27, 2017

It’s still unclear how many cameras will ship on launch day. There are reports of photographers receiving “back order status” emails and camera shops having the camera in stock ready to sell tomorrow in our Fujifilm GFX Owners Group. Hopefully shortages don’t last long.

Hands-on/Samples
Flemming Bojensen published an interesting hands-on using the Fujifilm GFX 50S the “wrong way” today. Hopefully medium format photographers become more accepting of the new reality sooner rather than later, but their beloved format is being opened up to the masses by Fujifilm. He also has some interesting articles about the Fujifilm G617, but most of the photo links are broken.

DPReview has new sample images from the GFX 50S and an interesting debate about digital vs film in their medium format forum going happening.

Fujifilm GFX 50S vs Canon 5D Mark IV


DC.Fever has the first test shots from the Fujifilm GFX 50S comparing it to the Canon 5D Mark IV. The results aren’t surprising, but they are interesting. The High ISO performance is also very impressive. Check out the full comparison here.

Fujifilm GFX 50S Review and RAW Support

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 26, 2017

Bigheadtaco completed his review of the Fujifilm GFX 50S and it is very long. His complete review is better than his livestream videos and he’s now the second person to mention the possibility of a Fujifilm GFX100. Sadly I doubt that will be the name of a potential medium format X100 camera since the number indicated megapixels, unless they wait until the launch the 100 megapixel sensor. Fujifilm GFX50 just doesn’t sound right. It would be great to see fujifilm release a Fujifilm GFX100 alongside a GFX100S and GFX100R when the next sensor arrives. We will just have to wait and see if GFX sales are strong enough to justify 3 medium format cameras from Fujifilm in the future.

Affinity Photo 1.5.1 & 1.5.2 Beta
It has been reported that Affinity Photo now unofficially supports the Fujifilm GFX 50S, but it slightly shifts the image to the left.
