The FUJIFILM GFX 50R Medium Format Mirrorless Camera is currently available on B&H for $3,499.95 USD, which is a saving of $1,000 USD.
The GFX 50R features a 43.8 x 32.9mm 51.4MP CMOS sensor and an X-Processor Pro image processor.
The camera is definitely more suited for still photography as the video recording is capped at Full HD 1080 up to 30p. Unlike its bigger brother, the GFX 100, this camera cannot output a RAW signal that can then be recorded by a compatible Atomos recorder.
