With all this said, I come to my biggest issue: 1/125th flash sync. For anyone that isn't a strobist, this isn't an issue; though then I'd seriously question why you NEED medium format unless you're doing some next level landscape photography.

Over the past half decade, Fujifilm has proven it can produce retro-inspired interchangeable lens cameras with excellent ergonomics and outstanding image quality. But as the APS-C X-series has grown, so too has Fujifilm's desire to create a new system with a larger sensor.

The Fujifilm GFX 50S is a compact system camera with a 51.4 megapixel 43.8mm x 32.9mm medium-format CMOS sensor. The weatherproof GFX 50S features Raw images with 14-bit color depth and 14 stops of dynamic range, ISO range of 50-102400, 1080p video with a frame rate of 30fps, 3fps continuous...

Fujifilm surprised the camera world last year with the introduction of the GFX 50S , its first medium-format mirrorless. The shooter, which is now available for $6,500 body only, packs a large 51.4-megapixel CMOS sensor (43.8 x 32.9mm) in a DSLR-like frame that only weighs 1.6lbs (740g).

Instead of going full frame, Fujifilm is pushing the boundaries of mirrorless with a new medium format camera, the GFX 50S. Having shot medium format film cameras in the past, I was looking forward to a pre-production model accompanying me home for the weekend.
