Fujifilm GFX 50R Medium Format Camera Announced, Price $4,499

By on

Fujifilm has announced the GFX 50R, a 51.4-megapixel medium format camera in a compact and lightweight body. The Fujifilm GFX 50R, which looks like a large X-E3, is a more portable, lighter version of the GFX 50R.

The new medium format camera weighs 775g with built-in EVF, approximately 145g lighter than the GFX 50S, and the body is just 66.4mm thick, 25.0mm thinner than the GFX 50S.

The 50R continues to use a 51.4MP, 43.8 x 32.9mm medium-format sensor, X Processor Pro, 3.2″ touchscreen LCD and dual SD card slots that support UHS-II media. It uses the same NP-T125 Li-ion battery as the GFX 50S and should last around 400 shots per charge.

The 50R is the first GFX camera to offer Bluetooth connectivity, which maintains a constant connection with a smartphone for auto image transfer and faster pairing.

The Fujifilm GFX 50R will be available in November for $4499: $2000 less than the original price of GFX 50s. Check pre-order links at stores BHphoto, Adorama, AmazonUS and GFX 50R sample images here.
