In short
The GFX 50R supports all Fujifilm film simulations available to its sensor. Designed for medium-format, it uses a Bayer sensor rather than X-Trans.
Why it's the recipe body
The Fujifilm GFX 50R brings the luxury of medium-format photography into a more easily accessible realm. With its 51.4 MP Bayer sensor, the camera captures the nuanced detail expected from the GFX line. The rangefinder-style body, weighing just 775 grams, ensures that despite its significant capabilities, it remains portable and manageable. The distinct advantage of the GFX 50R is its ability to render Fujifilm's beloved film simulations across a larger frame, providing rich, detailed, and vibrant JPEGs straight out of the camera. The intuitive layout and dual SD card slots make it a joy to shoot with, especially for those who appreciate the tactile experience of physical dials and a built-in EVF.
The GFX 50R runs all Fujifilm film simulations compatible with its medium-format Bayer sensor. This sensor offers a comprehensive range of in-camera JPEG settings, providing photographers with creative flexibility. However, it does not support saving white-balance shifts within custom slots, affecting precision for recipe enthusiasts.
Introduced in 2018, the GFX 50R aimed to democratise medium-format photography.
Compared to the GFX 50S, the 50R offers a lighter, more portable option.
