Pros: Dynamic range, resolution, detail, tropicalization, high ISO yield, colors, battery life, dioptric adjustment with block, possibility of crop, backlight seal with DR mode without flare and weight. The price considering that it is a superFF is to be taken into account.
Cons: Ugly aesthetics, un enveloping handle for the hand, UNusable AF-C for dynamic shots, no stabilizer on the sensor, no 4K video and connectivity
Opinion: Body made entirely of magnesium alloy and with excellent water and weather tightness. The sensor size of 43.8 x 32.9 millimeters against 36 x 24 millimeters of a full frame, allow to create images of the highest level both for "unimaginable" details and for colorimetric precision. It is clear that the large sensor manages to solve much more precisely than a full frame, micro four-thirds and so on, thus having to advise users who then want to take advantage of the photographs for large and similar prints. Its optimum use is study, landscape, fashion, street and portraiture in general (considering that the detachment of the planes, the progression in the nuance of colors or in the grayscale for b/n photos, three-dimensionality and bokeh are all in his favor)... Continuous shots are not its forte, so it is not a camera for sports and action (although it allows you to make some moving shots for subjects not particularly fast). The strengths are represented a) by the extended dynamic range with the possibility of recovering with certainty at least 4 stops in the shadows (and I am not kidding... you really have to work to take underexposed photos of 4 stops) and 2 stops in the high lights, b) from the microcontrasto and c) high resolution. An important point that I emphasize separately is represented by the high iso yield: a RAW well exposed to 3200 ISO is practically "almost free" of noise and at 6400 ISO you are amazed how excellent it really is... the battery is the last positive aspect of the camera: it guarantees 70 minutes of continuous recording, as well as over 400 shots without particular difficulties or the need for a wall socket. Finally, the menus and their organization for those already accustomed to using the Fuji system are "easy" and intuitive: they are organized well in the chapters and the machine can be easily "tailor-made" cut to their needs... Negative points are represented by grip and aesthetics: the GFX 50R is a parallelepiped (if I am allowed a rounded XE-3, or for the not very young between the 70s and 90s the Fuji GW690 III), it is not easy to handle since the handle is still too small. The continuous shooting is very slow, even if the "noise" of the small burst is not so bad ...; LCD screen not adjustable or tiltable at 180°, but touchscreen... a lack to keep in mind concerns the absence of the image stabilizer on the sensor; having been born for use also on the move and not only in the studio, it is clear that the user is forced to buy a lens with integrated stabilizer, otherwise it will take the right attention to make good freehand shots. It is a means that I recommend for landscape, still life photography, portraiture and studio photography! |
