Finally… TheCameraStore published their Fujifilm GFX 50s review from Tokyo… and it seems they like the GFX a lot (unlike the Hasselblad X1D). Commercial photographer Brent Taylor joins for the last part of the review. He uses the Fujifilm GFX 50s on assignment and likes it so much, that at the end he says: “I’m very impressed… switching to Fuji”

Here are some tidbits:

comfortable handling and controls
they mention the “quite light and compact” GF 45mm F2.8 (min. 5:25)… which is currently on the roadmap and coming soon. So they might have seen (and maybe tested) a Beta version of it in Japan… or maybe they just assume it will be as light and compact as the GF 63
in daylight, single focus is very quick and accurate. In low light, AF slows down, but still very accurate. Continous AF too slow and hunts.
Fujinon glass beautiful bokeh
GFX shoots incredible stable photos (low shutter vibration). You can get very sharp shots at slow shutter speeds. Good handheld camera, but he also says, that to take the most out of the big sensor it in low light, you better use a tripod.
touch screen is responsive
focal plane shutter is a big advantage. You can adapt a lot of other glass
the design is practical, looks professional, but lacks of classic beautiful retro design
positively surprised by the batter life
You can see them using Godox flash (which I remind you can do HSS and TTL)
Colors really good
“lot’s of meat in the files” – lot’s of dynamic range, sharpness etc.
for street and travel, camera is too big and heavy (although considering it’s size, it’s a light camera)
