Fujifilm Second Mirrorless Reach Second Generation
News
2021.09.02
Fujifilm just updated their intermediate Medium-Format and APS-C mirrorless digital cameras. These models that exist just below the flagship cameras of their respective lineup deliver among the best value around by a combination of ultra-high performance and affordable price. Fujifilm just made both better!
A truly significant leap is delivered by the Fujifilm GFX 50S II. This 50 megapixels Medium-Format Mirrorless Digital Camera keeps every feature of its predecessor yet manages to squeeze in a 5-axis image-stabilization system with 6½ of efficiency! The first IBIS in a Medium-Format camera required a huge body yet the new GFX 50S II manages to weight 900g which is very close to high-end Full-Frame cameras with smaller sensors.
The Fujifilm GFX 50S II improves over its predecessor by using a state-of-the-art processor which promises to make it more responsive. Given that the shutter-mechanism is the same though, maximum shooting speed remains at 3 FPS at Full-Resolution. Medium-Format cameras are never intended for action photography yet the continuous shooting feature can be useful when capturing slow-moving subjects.
Fujifilm announced that the new GFX 50S II will arrive next month for $4000 USD or $5000 CAD, making this the most affordable Medium Format Digital Camera ever created. This is bound to be a highly sought-after product, so preorders yours today! Both Adorama and B&H Photo are ready to accept pre-orders.
Looking identical to its predecessor, the excellent Fujifilm X-T30 reviewed here, is now superseded by the new Fujifilm X-T30 II. This new intermediate-level X-mount APS-C mirrorless camera maintains the entire feature-set of the original X-T30 while introducing a number of impressive updates.
A more powerful processor in the Fujifilm X-T30 II makes it capable of recording Full 1080p HD video at 240 FPS which is twice the frame-rate as the original! This can be sustained for 3 mins, while the 120 FPS mode reaches 6 mins. The camera is also capable of recording Cinema 4K at 30 FPS and Cinema 2K at 60 FPS. Increased memory gives the X-T30 II a slightly longer maximum-burst depth.
Several new features were also added in this second-generation camera. Average metering is now available. It can also capture HDR images with over 800% more dynamic-range. A new higher resolution 1.6 megapixels LCD was also added for good measure.
Expect to see the Fujifilm XT-30 II in late October for $800 USD. Canadian availability has not been announced yet but Adorama and B&H Photo all ship internationally. These reputable affiliates will not charge your credit-card until the camera ships while ensuring you are among the first to receive these products.
