We will go into Medium Format camera, recently release by Fujifilm – GFX 50s. Featuring large sensor, state-of-the-art imaging capabilities, the GFX 50S from Fujifilm is a highly versatile and portable medium format mirrorless camera. It has

51.4 MP SENSOR

43.8 x 32.9mm 51.4MP CMOS sensor that produces tremendously wide dynamic range and high resolution AND an extended sensitivity range of ISO 50-102400 if difficult lighting conditions occur. Due to that, one of the advantages of the Medium Format cameras compare to 35mm is the distinct three dimensional look with smooth tonal and color transitions. This is one of the reason a medium format camera was the choice of portrait photographers from 70s till 90s – the magic ofthe falloff and depth you can get, making them a natural for portraits.
