Fuji GFX 50R vs GFX 50S, Which One is The Best? 

Im not a product specialist so I'd suggest you look directly on Fuji's site for exact specifications.

I can tell you by looking at my GFX50S that it has all of those EXCEPT for the following: 2:1 2.5:1 3:1 4:3 with 26x35mm image size (When you enable 35mm Format Mode, the image size reverts to 3:2 and cannot be changed) I assume the GFX50R would be exactly the same, but cannot confirm. Hope this helps!

@@AdamTuck1 Thanks, you have been a very big help.

Glad to help!

Thanks Justin! Both are GREAT cameras. I would only see the 50S more studio-focused due to it's form factor, however i still prefer using USB C to tether and the 50R is fine for studio, especially if you're tethering. Either one is good on location. I took the 50S out on location shoots before the 50R was an option, but prefer the 50R for it's size and form factor. Cheers!

Do you tether with it? And the nose thing was more of a joke :) I really like the S and the R but ultimately the R noses just a bit ahead for me.

@@AdamLernerPhoto I use Capture One Pro and rarely tether unless the client asks to do so. I hate that the AD sees the images before I do. So I generally opt to do my sequence, load the SD card during the clothing change and view during the clothing changes.

@@BenjaminKanarek Sounds like you've got your workflow dialed-in. I greatly prefer working tethered with a Digitech who can help manage the process as the files are coming in. I don't use the LCD when I'm shooting and having a large external monitor to use for lighting, falloff, separation, color and focus reference I find invaluable. The AD typically is on set with me and the model(s) and we don't present until me and my Digitech have a chance to review and select. But whatever works man, right?! I just love the ability to tether to C1 and think its a really powerful way to work with such a brilliant camera whether I'm shooting on location or in studio. I'll tether practically anywhere.

do you guys use the tilt finder adapter for photoshoot? is it worth :)

how does the gfx-r compare vs d850 output

Good points to add, thank you. I'm hoping for an updated 50S with a similar body to the 100S and updated AF and IS.

Hi Diego. Both cameras perform identically. And they both lag between shots.

I think a 50RII with Phase Detect AF like the GFX 100 would be amazing.

Adam Lerner I’ve only had a play of the 50r & s in a camera shop, so I’ve not got a view on the AF really. I was primarily looking at the GFX’s for use with adapted manual focus lenses, so the AF performance is not high on my ‘wants’ list....but then again, I’m an A7R3 owner/shooter, so when I want/need good AF, I’d use that anyway. I’d like a GFX primarily to use as a digital xpan/TX. I’ve also been contemplating Leica M10 for use with some of my old manual focus classic lenses....but, I fear I’d miss the EVF too much.....which is another reason why I was contemplating a gfx, and I don’t think I can adapt all to M mount, but can adapt most if not all to GFX. I also do Astro imaging & nightscapes, I often use a low view point and very wide angle lens in portrait orientation to include as much night sky as possible, so that explains the desire for an LCD flipping out in portrait orientation.....and why I’m torn between the s & the r......the 50r seems a little like an M10 with EVF to me.

The R is a great design and fairly affordable on the used market. The 100s and 50sII share the new body which feels great in the hand. Smaller than the 50S and different than the 50R. It's sort of the best of both worlds. Overall the 100s is hugely superior to the 50 as a camera and spec. That and with so many DSLRs now boasting 50+ mpx, it's not that different. The 100S has a BSI sensor, Phase Detect AF and performs like a modern camera. The 50R has great design but the performance is still the same from 2015. So if you're not in a hurry, it's still a great system and there are now a lot more lenses and adapters available to make the GFX a more viable system. Thanks for subbing and good luck with your purchase!

50R is pretty compact compared to the 50S

haha, thanks I guess!

Excellent choice. I love the 50S. It's way more versatile.

Yes, I liked adding a grip. Found a good one on eBay.

Great price for a great camera. The 50S is still totally valid and useful today and hard to beat the look you get from a large sensor. And now there's such an incredible amount of lens options and adapting lenses. So I can't talk you out of it. It's just that it's a slow workflow and if you can deal with the slow performance, the results will be worth it. Cheers

@@AdamLernerPhoto Copy that ! Hear you loud and clear. I would only use it for portraits, on the side of working on a documentary, and then every now and then I would take some city shots, streets + buildings, etc. No movement.

@@TopshelfJunior Great portrait machine

I agree that the R is a nicer choice in many ways. Obviously this video preceded the 50S II which would be my choice today. Cheers!

yea the USB3 connector is the worst!

they made so many of these and they're not that precious. best to find one with low shutter because it was probably well cared for.

No trouble at all. You can handhold mirrorless at longer shutter speeds anyway. OIS would be a nice addition and you have it in the GFX 100 so it's only a matter of time before the 50's will have it too.

@@AdamLernerPhoto you mean ibis

Ibis a game changer. Grip is easy to find on eBay

who cares, get a FF or APS-C or a MFT... much cheaper and portable.

Buy a Logitech web cam for you 4k LOL

​@@artsilva lol, i don't complain. just corrected the video. IIRC he said one or both of them shoot 4k video.

@@SamirPerez15 lol, i don't complain. just corrected the video. IIRC he said one or both of them shoot 4k video.

@@random__handle But WHY would you chose a MF camera to do 4K. The larger the sensor and Mp, the larger file and power you need to do 4K unless it really crops the sensor in recording... which in That case you're better off getting an APS-C 4k camera. MF is designed for high end stills resolution, Not video. In video anything bigger than FF is redundant and a waste of money all around. In fact FF is probably over kill in most cases. Just look at what Hollywood cinema is being shot on, mostly super 35mm which is a cinema crop on a 35MM frame, smaller capture area than your standard FF sensor ratio
