Fujifilm GFX 50S II Mirrorless
Medium Format CameraProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Fujifilm GFX50S II is the revision of Fuji's GFX50S medium format mirrorless camera. In essentially the same body, the GFX50S II packs Fujifilm's newer X-Processor 4 image processing engine and offers a number of incremental upgrades.
As the new entry point to medium format photography, the GFX50S II comes in at a price of high-end full-frame mirrorless cameras, while offering the light-capturing capability and the unique look of medium format, in this case with a sensor 1.7 times larger than full-frame in area.
The camera's powerful IBIS delivers up to 6.5 stops of image stabilization, and it is weather-sealed at 60 locations. This combination, together with the newly-launched compact GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 WR lens, makes the new GFX50S II a very compelling travel and landscape camera indeed.
While the large sensor size restricts the camera's readout speed and hence burst rate, Fujifilm promises high performance autofocus, thanks to the new X-Processor 4 chip.
Last but not least, the GFX50S II features Pixel Shift Multi-Shot function, which quadruples the resolution of the final image and is a great option for archiving.

Reviewer score 84% (normalized by Neofiliac)The GFX50S II brings Fujifilm’s medium format system to a more affordable price point. By taking the surprisingly compact body of the GFX100S, the 50S II inherits the latest controls and features including built-in stabilisation. By swapping the sensor for the original 51.4 Megapixel model, you save 2000 dollars or pounds on the price. The lack of 4k video, or even 1080 beyond 30p, is undoubtedly a limitation in the current market.
Pros
- Compact body
- Fast autofocus
- Compact and lightweight
Cons
- No 4k video or 1080 beyond 30p
- No phase-detect AF

Reviewer score 80% (normalized by Neofiliac)The GFX 50S II is no bigger than some full-frame DSLRs and makes a superb studio or landscape camera. Its solid build and direct control make it a very satisfying camera to shoot with and the end results hold up to the closest scrutiny. However, its relatively slow contrast-detect autofocus and a rather flighty face/eye detection means it is much less adept at portraiture. Its slow AF and 3 fps maximum shooting rate essentially rule it out for sports and action work.
Pros
- Excellent image quality
- Excellent autofocus
- Excellent battery life
Cons
- Slow AF
- No telephoto lens

Reviewer score 70% (normalized by Neofiliac)The GFX50S II is best for up-and-coming photographers scrabbling for a medium format digital and for those who see it as a backup to a GFX100S. Full-frames focus faster, support 4K recording at minimum, and use smaller, lower cost lenses. It's simply far more versatile and our Editors' Choice winner for medium format cameras.
Pros
- Sleek design
- Excellent autofocus performance
- In-body stabilization
- 4K video
Cons
- Not as flexible as full-frame alternatives

Reviewer score 85% (normalized by Neofiliac)Fujifilm GFX50S II has the same 51.4MP sensor that was used in the original GFX 50S. Despite getting the latest X-Processor 4 engine, there's still no 4K video capabilities on the Mark II. Autofocus performance can feel sluggish when compared to a full-frame or APS-C mirrorless camera.
Pros
- Superb image quality
- Superb autofocus
- Excellent dynamic range
Cons
- No 4K video
- Slow continuous shooting speed
