Wow, I think camera manufacturer’s are getting desperate. Fuji is knocking $1000 off their 50MP GFX 50R at @BHPhotoVideo plus a ton of other Fuji gear is slashed about that much. If had the money and wanted an upgrade, now is the time.

I have an older version of this camera and the photos out of it are incredibly good. It also has raw processing built-in so you can do quite a lot to avoid post processing entirely on many photos. 50MP is also more than enough for decades of work too.

I however may be selling my fuji as my photography needs changed dramatically when I did my big world tour last year. The Fuji is amazing, but the one I have is a BEAST. It’s massive, and while the photos are great I needed better video quality to film my locations.

I ended buying an Olympus OM-D E-1MX instead as it hit everything I need on a paintinn/filming trip. The camera and lenses are about 1/3rd the weight and size, 1 lens goes 24mm-200mm at constant f, and the stabilization is unreal. I AM NOT KIDDING IT IS ABSOLUTE CREEPY MAGIC.

It does super fast 20MP photos, 50MP hand held or tripod combined shots, 4k video stabilized even with a 800mm focal length hand held! I sat in a car driving through Laos with 300mm (600mm equiv) lens filming 4k log video hand held with no shake. Rarely used a tripod.

Interesting, is it mirrorless? I used to shoot with a Canon 5D Mark IV, and I've been looking at Fuji and Sony for a camera. Good to know, I'll have to watch B&H now! Also your lens collection sounds INSANE.
