Fujifilm GFX 50S II Medium Format Mirrorless Camera

Unveiling the Fujifilm GFX 50S II: Power and Portability in One Camera

Overview:

Step into the world of large format photography with the Fujifilm GFX 50S II Medium Format Mirrorless Camera, a GFX System camera that packs a 51.4 MP sensor that is physically bigger than every full-frame sensor by approx. 1.7x but so wonderfully compact that its still similar in size to many full-frame cameras. At just 900g (1.98lb) and with a weather-resistant construction, this Fujifilm GFX 50S II mirrorless camera can certainly be taken everywhere, by creators anywhere. With an incredibly accurate autofocus system, in-body image stabilization that provides up to 6.5 stops stability for complete handheld freedom, and 19 Film Simulation modes created using over 85 years of color science know-how GFX50S II is sure to produce outstanding results for creatives of every level.

The Fujifilm GFX 50S II is a unique medium format mirrorless camera that is wonderfully compact and portable. Pair it with the new GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 WR lens and you will find a wonderfully affordable combination that delivers images from a 51.4-megapixel sensor, which makes it the perfect gateway to large format photography. It features a redesigned in-body image stabilization (IBIS) system that is 20% smaller and 10% lighter, than the version found in GFX100. Despite this reduction in size and weight, it provides up to an impressive 6.5 stops of five-axis stabilization (based on CIPA standards), providing dramatically broad possibilities for image makers wanting to work more freely with slow shutter speeds. Even when light levels are low, and a tripod is not available, steady images are on the horizon. Fast, reliable autofocus comes to GFX50S II, thanks to a combination of advanced technologies and Fujifilm’s powerful X-Processor 4 imaging engine.

More details:
