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.

Totally mirrorless. I’d say it has the best color accuracy of the cameras I’ve used. It’s a massive sensor so it’s not fast like a 35mm or m4/3, but it takes very good photos.

Oh man you gotta share some shots when you get a chance. That's so exciting. Hows the weight on the body?

Now, for weight, the one I have is a monster. It's the earlier GFX 50 which was trying to be like a modern throwback to the big bulky cameras with huge eye pieces. The GFX 50R is going to be about the size of a 35mm mirrorless, but check the weight specs.

I know a heavy body is a perk for some, but man, it wrecked me trying to have a 200m L series lens and a battery pack screwed on. That's exciting that it's getting less heavy now. I wonder what that'll mean for lens development and equipment care as they continue to evolve.

Hows it do in high ISO situations? Do you feel like the noise is acceptable?
