Fujifilm Announces GFX-50S Medium Format Mirrorless Camera; Follow Updates at B&H Photo

Photography News: Fujifilm Has Announced the GFX Medium Format Mirrorless System, Expected in Early 2017, to Include GFX 50S Body and Six Lenses


NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - September 20, 2016) - B&H is pleased to share Fujifilm's announcement of the new GFX Medium Format Mirrorless Camera System, which is expected to be available in early 2017, and will be comprised of the camera body itself, along with six different lenses. The Fuji GFX 50S houses a 51.4MP 43.8 x 32.9mm CMOS sensor, which is configured to output several aspect ratios used in traditional film photography: 4:3 (native format), 3:2, 1:1, 4:5, 6:7, and 6:17. The sensor's performance is complemented by an X-Processor Pro in order to maintain distinct and accurate color and tonal renditions, along with the depth and clarity afforded by the larger sensor area. The camera's physical design is also reminiscent of past modular medium format cameras, and features a removable electronic viewfinder that can be tilted through the use of an optional adapter. It is weather sealed, and supports working in temperatures down to 14°. The body also supports tethered shooting for working in studio situations. Additionally, an optional Vertical Battery Grip will be available for longer continuous battery life and improved handling when shooting in the vertical format.
