FUJIFILM North America Corporation has introduced the new FUJIFILM GFX 50R rangefinder-style medium format mirrorless digital camera, featuring a FUJIFILM G Format 43.8 x 32.9mm sensor with a 51.4MP resolution and high-performance X-Processor Pro image processing engine.
The FUJIFILM GFX 50R is a compact, lightweight rangefinder-style camera, and it is the first model in the GFX system to feature Bluetooth® compatibility. The GFX 50R is equipped with a 0.77×3.69M-dot organic “OLED” electronic viewfinder. The camera has a rugged, weather-sealed body, that weighs 775g with built-in EVF, approximately 145g lighter than the GFX 50S. The body is just 66.4mm thick, 25.0mm thinner than the GFX 50S.
The GFX system is compatible with a variety of software, including “Capture One Pro (FUJIFILM),” announced at Photokina, to provide added options in commercial and fashion photography studio sessions. In addition, the GFX system supports tethering software “HS-V5 for Windows” and “Tether Shooting Plug-in PRO for Adobe® Photoshop®,” to enable professional photographers to incorporate the GFX system into their regular workflow.

- FUJINON GF100-200mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR telephoto zoom lens
