Fujifilm GFX 5. 0S Review & Rating. The Fujifilm GFX 5. S ($6,4. 99. 9. 5) isn't the first affordable medium format camera, but its mirrorless design means it's more compact than the Pentax 6. Z, which has been on the market for a few years.
It also feels more modern—its EVF is removable, and its tilting LCD is sensitive to touch. A 5. 1MP image sensor delivers superb images, even in difficult light, though photographers that need high- speed flash sync will be turned off by a lack of native leaf- shutter lenses. Still, that's a weakness shared by the 6. Z, our previous Editors' Choice.
The GFX 5. 0S is less expensive and a better camera, so it's our new top pick in the category. Design. At 3. 7 by 5. Torrent Office Xp here. HWD), the GFX 5. 0S isn't that much larger than a typical full- frame SLR, but its image sensor is. In its body you'll find a 3.

Image noise, for example, is reduced due to the increased size of each individual pixel, and sharpness and dynamic range are improved as well. Lenses also cover wider fields of view at matching focal lengths—a 6. Fujifilm system, where a shorter 5. APS- C system. Shooting wider images with a comparatively longer focal length more noticeably compresses the distance between subject and background. The system promises to be able to capture photos with a shallower depth of field with similar framing to what you get with 3. The GFX itself is finished in black.
Its body is sealed to prevent dust and moisture from getting inside, as are all of the available lenses. The all- weather design is a big advantage for landscape photographers, whose work often takes them out into the wild to catch that perfect shot, regardless of weather conditions. The competing Pentax 6. Z is also sealed, but not all of its lenses are. The GFX is mirrorless, so there's not a large distance between the lens mount and sensor, but its body is similar in bulk to a full- frame SLR.
Some of the electronics that would normally live elsewhere in an SLR are placed behind the sensor, and the battery, which is typically housed in the handgrip area, occupies a good deal of space here as well. Many of the physical controls can be customized. This includes the lone, unmarked button on the front (Fn.
The top plate houses a couple of control dials. The ISO control sits to the left of the removable EVF, and the shutter speed control to its right. Both are lockable—a center button toggles whether or not the wheel can turn.
It's the type of locking control dial I prefer, as it lets you leave it unlocked if desired. Also on the top plate, to the tight of the EVF, is a dedicated button to change the Drive mode, one of the few on the camera that can't be reassigned. There's also a monochrome information LCD, and a corresponding button to activate its backlight so you can read it when working in dim conditions. The front control dial is nestled into the handgrip. Above it is the On/Off switch, which surrounds the shutter release, and right next door is Fn. EV compensation in conjunction with the rear control dial. It can be reassigned, as can any other button with the Fn designation.
There's no dedicated EV dial. This is a big departure from recent Fujifilm models, and an ergonomic step back if you ask me. You don't have to use the top button to set it—I reassigned that Fn. I'd love for the rear dial to serve as a dedicated control to dial in EV compensation, especially since lenses sport physical aperture adjustment dials, but it's not possible with the current firmware.
The closest I could get is a two- touch solution, first pressing in on the rear dial, and then turning it to set the level of adjustment you'd like. But if you exit out of taking photos—to review a shot in playback menu, change a menu setting, or if the camera goes to sleep—you'll need to remember to once again press in on the button to set EV. A firmware update to add the option of making the rear wheel a full- time EV adjustment control would go a long way to improving the ergonomics associated with that particular function. The toggle switch to adjust the focus mode, and buttons to delete images and enter playback sit at an angle above the rear LCD. To the right of the LCD, Fn. Fn. 3 flank the rear control wheel to its right and left; Fn. Fn. 3 toggles a live four- channel histogram display.
A dedicated focus joystick sits below—it makes it easy to set the active focus area. Also on the rear are Fn. Fn buttons, surrounding the Menu/OK button. By default they set the AF area (Fn. Fn. 7), adjust white balance (Fn. Rapid AF function (Fn.
At the bottom of the rear plate is the Disp/Back button, which is used to change the amount of information shown on the rear display and to navigate through menus. There's also the familiar Q button, located on the thumb grip, which launches an on- screen control menu.
If you've shot with a Fujifilm camera before, you're familiar with the Q menu. For those new to the brand, it's an on- screen bank of settings, arranged in a four- by- four grid. It gives you quick access to common functions—autofocus area, color output, white balance, and the like—and is navigable via touch, or using the rear joystick and control wheel.
Each of the 1. 6 available settings can be customized, so you can configure the Q screen to suit your fancy. The rear display is a 3. LCD with touch input support and a 2. It's very, very crisp—you'll be able to zoom in on images to ensure the sensor has captured the smallest of details—and plenty bright for outdoor use. The display is mounted on a hinge and can tilt up or down, as well as face toward the right, but it can't tilt left or face forward for selfies. The EVF is also very crisp, with a large 3.
OLED display that delivers 0. SLRs. And it's removable. Why would you want to remove the EVF? If you have no problem working with just the rear LCD, it cuts down on the overall size.
Or, if you typically work at a low angle on a tripod, the EVF- TL1 Tilt Adapter ($5. EVF straight up, or 4.
If you're tired of getting on your hands and knees for those low- angle shots, and prefer the EVF to the rear LCD for framing a shot, you'll be interested in it. Connectivity. The GFX 5. S includes built- in Wi- Fi. You can transfer images from the camera to your Android or i. OS device for quick social sharing using the Fujifilm Cam Remote app, and also use your phone as a remote camera control. The app allows you to tap on your phone's screen to set the focus point, and supports full manual exposure control, ISO adjustment, and access to film simulation, white balance, flash, and self- timer options. You can also tether the GFX to a Mac or PC via USB and leverage the free X Acquire software in order to automatically store images on your computer system.
X Acquire runs in your taskbar or menu bar and only has a few settings available. Unlike some other tethered solutions, the software doesn't control the camera. Instead it simply allows you to set a folder to which Raw, JPG, or both Raw and JPG images are automatically transferred via USB as they're captured.
If you want to see them appear in real- time on your screen, use it in conjunction with a watched folder in Adobe Lightroom to import images into your catalog automatically. There are a number of physical connections on the body. Both the EVF and body itself feature a hot shoe, so you can mount an external flash or wireless trigger regardless of whether or not the EVF is attached. The left side of the body boasts 3. DC power input, a micro USB 3.
HDMI connector. There are dual memory card slots, each supporting SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards at up to UHS- II speeds. The memory cards are accessible via a door at the right side of the body.
If you use studio strobes with a wired connection, you can utilize the PC sync socket, on the front plate, just ahead of the ISO dial, to connect them. The GFX has a big battery, but it's also a power- hungry device.
