Fujifilm GFX 50S Hands-on Field Test

[@AndrewPowerTower]

I hope "Fuller Frame" becomes the proper terminology for medium format cameras some day.

[@ChristofferLund]

Agreed. It's hilarious

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

But what about the fuller full size frame of the Phase One and Hasselblad? Fullest Frame?

[@ChristofferLund]

Fullerer Frame

[@msandersen]

Mick Ryan - Fulla Shit Frame perhaps?? As in “I shoot FSF”.

[@VincenzoCapuanov]

"mein fuller"*

Friendship with DigitalRev end

[@RayValdezPhotography]

Is digital rev still around?

[@danialmuhammad7954]

RayValdezPhotography they make a video of iphone x couple days ago

[@pHee3podcast]

🙌🙌🙌🙌 same here yo!

[@B_Chanslor]

KNAIM Same.

[@jrgenkleist-christensen254]

Quite dissapointed with this review was expecting you to ride down the street on a skateboard holding a 6000£ camera without straps on one hand and vlogging with the other hand

[@enkodernovi3524]

He should have at least crash that drone into the camera

[@JeetCoinDo]

Or paint it pink

[@mrvk699]

Lol He's not a dick head that His insurance could pay that Big bill

[@Mctiger88]

I see Kai, I must watch.

[@rasheedwilliams6685]

I'm that kind of a guy who would enjoy watching anything that comes from this guy, even when he is shopping his grocery staff !!!

[@Jamieryder]

Great to see the Peak District being featured! Mam Tor and Winnats Pass for anyone who's wondering!

[@johnlondon7904]

Thanks for that

[@Theytoldmetodoit1]

Need to go back. Beautiful area

[@grahamhgraham]

Rather flat landscape - maybe they should head to Lochaber or Torridon for some proper mountains?

[@borderlands6606]

They were a stone's throw from The Devil's @rsehole. Also featured idyllic views of Castleton cement works.

[@chrisogrady28]

Borderlands *Hope cement works

[@UselessDuckCompany]

Do you plan on reviewing the Sony rx10 iv? With the new AF system i'm seriously considering it.

[@bigfoxki]

Tony did a review on it, the focus is good, but not as good as A series.

[@longrider9551]

I have it, its a real winner, have been trying my hand at some amateur birding and discovered I have a juvenile bald eagle right near my home in New Jersey!!

[@pasty_film_journey]

Four years later, I finally purchased it used :D

[@MikeLikesChannel]

Got myself a 50Sii for $1700 and the 35-70mm zoom for $350. I’m astounded I can access digital medium format without destroying the bank.

[@cameralabs]

Hey Kai, could I have my hat back?

[@Nazuaf11]

lol

[@RetorikMalaya]

Legend...you're my camera guru since 2008

[@raygoodwin2303]

I love getting that notification! Hope you're doing well, Kai.

[@theexploringphotographer]

I didn't come for the Fujifilm, just to come check out your videos. Glad you didn't stop doing videos. Keep them coming.

[@xandr13]

I love how people with no clue about photography (and the differences between FF and MF images) comment on the price of this camera, and how they will "keep their Sonys or D850s". Please, if you don't understand what medium format is about - just stick to iPhones with deeper pixels.

[@jennygw1883]

Alexander V lol thinking the same. I'm still thinking about the Pentax 645D, your thoughts. .. ?

[@benbrown2196]

Been a long time since I bought a ‘proper’ camera. I’m just surprised you can get a digital MF this cheap...

[@marianpalko2531]

Alexander V Enlighten us then, what is medium format about?

[@tuntitommosille]

So what is it exactly that you need to have a medium format camera for, rather than say D850, 5D IV or A7r III? A lot of professional photographers even use APS-C or Micro-4:3 sensors for their work - including portraits and landscapes which are what the GFX 50S shines at - and to my knowledge not one of them has ever run into a customer telling them they can't do a job because they have the wrong gear. Seems to me it's you who has no clue about photography. You're just comparing camera specs, which is an increasingly insignificant part of photography.

[@RealHankShill]

@Tunti Turpaan MF mostly belongs in the commercial world. Many commercial togs that do still life use a MF. Those Bud Light ads you see? Medium format. Most of the beer and booze still lifes you see were likely on a MF.

[@natashaarnold2493]

He he I don't really care about cameras that much I just watch for his personality 😂😂

[@devoltar]

Kai is the Top Gear of photography, no doubt about it.

[@natashaarnold2493]

devoltar yaaas the Jeremy Clarkson of cameras

[@timelord2222]

The good thing since he left DRTV is that he doesn't destroy gear anymore.

[@101jumpit]

Nice to see Bayfield out and about too !

[@giannaras2010]

I see "Large Format" coming out for mirrorless cameras one day in the future...How exciting!!

[@noahpatterson1575]

Still my favorite youtube public figure to date. You're the best Kai!

[@Chevy-jordan]

Kai in Derbyshire!?!! Finally a place I recognise!

[@mrsGasky]

I'm living my canon for fuji, because of this freaking colors man... and film simulation that looks just so good!

[@5iwot5]

6:40 Do you have a download link for that photo. It's amazing!

[@brentjones571]

Yes wonderful to see you at the mamtor & winnats pass, awesome camera with brilliant video kai

[@CausesSideEffects]

OMFG! I thought you were gone from the internets and now, na total coincedent i find your Channel... this totales makes my day. 😊📷📸

[@kipkipful]

i have always loved the way you process your photos.

[@nknown8672]

Boom 💥 KAI UPLOADED!!!

[@kravdraa7]

Please Kai, tell me when this was shot and if you've done a near identical review, as I'm sure I've seen this months ago (serious case of Deja Vu!)?

[@SkullBro]

So.. as someone who mostly shoots landscape, and macro.. and currently hefts around a huge 5dMK4 and is tentatively looking to up/side grade would you recommend?

[@diuco17]

It would be interesting to compare the gfx cameras to these and see how big the differences are, since they are getting more affordable and in a small body, as you would find in full frame.

[@ginobrugman]

I sold my D7000 for a Fujifilm X-T1, I love it!

[@geigster]

Gino Brugman not selling my d7100, gonna keep it for 50mm but gonna buy a x100t to try out fuji. How do you like it?

[@ginobrugman]

geigster i love it! Beautiful colours, razor sharp with my 27mm 2.8. Planning on getting the 35mm 1.4 which is even sharper :0

[@rahpdeblas7672]

Omg. Me too! Im using 18-55 though. Is 35mm f2 sharper? Im planning to get one and sell my 18-55. Any suggestions, maybe cheaper lens? Im more of a landscape guy.

[@ginobrugman]

IMO you should keep the 18-55 for versatility. The 35mm 1.4 is razorsharp. IDK about the f2. This: goo.gl/fAk4cY is shot with the 35mm 1.4 on the x-t1. And this one: goo.gl/eA6fLq on the 27mm 2.8 on the x-t1. I find the 35mm 1.4 better

[@ReviewDetective]

Hey Kai, love how you combine humor and educational information!

[@FrankValchiria]

oh if that thing had 3 axes stab. and 4k video, would have been the beest camera of the year

[@insptrGadget]

I want one of these drones so bad. Are they as good as the look?

[@Manuel-qu3tc]

what camera were you filming with at 0:38??? looks gorgeous at such low light! is it panasonic gh5?

[@EElgar1857]

That was the best selfie I've ever seen!

[@RomelosLife]

i always find my self so interested in your videos. still leaning all the new information as i'm new to the camera world

[@sanoska206]

Where is that? It’s gorgeous!!

[@joshuasamms8531]

What are you guys using to shoot your video? Could you recommend something for low light situations?

[@PrimevalMedia]

That's legit good, currently using the XT-2 but looking forward to when I can eventually own a GFX!

[@Vashtorical]

Primeval Media love my xt-2. Do you post any of your photos on Instagram?

[@PrimevalMedia]

Not much, but all the videos on my channel are shot with the XT-2 and Xt-20

[@krishalsrud2210]

Spooky just searching your vlogs for a gfx hands on and 55 minutes later, KAPOW!

[@Greg_the_Berean]

Kai's classic epic transition @ 8:31 haha. Man that camera is pretty sick! Keep up the great work! Happy holidays 🙌🏼

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Impressive landscape shot Kai.

[@chrisogrady28]

Move to Sheffield Kai, it takes 15 mins to drive from city centre to the middle of no where in the Peak District, and 25 mins to get to winnats pass

[@youareslick]

Christopher O'Grady nah, Manchester!, Easy access to the peak district, the lake district an North Wales...even the Yorkshire Dales ain't far.

[@chrisogrady28]

Steve L Manchester is too dense, you can’t get from the centre to the Peak District in less than 30 mins, glossop is in the way, and it’s not geographically interesting at all, just big, flat and grey. For outdoorsy people and adventurers, Sheffield is where it’s at

[@joshmartonosi5624]

Where was that video shot? It's a gorgeous landscape.

[@robertwilkins6770]

The end bit was shot near Castleton England yeah? Was just there not too long ago, beautiful place

[@PhilZero]

My favourite youtuber. Upload more you beautiful man

[@nobraidps]

Where did you get the bag? I can’t find one that is full cammo... pretty please.

[@NeoRazor]

Kai, I've noticed you almost never ever mention Pentax cameras or gear in any of your videos. Could you give us your opinion on Pentax, both new and old?

[@Bobbleoff]

Are you living in the sheffield/South Yorkshire area or just visit to film. Sure I saw you in Hillsborough the other week

[@JustSpike1]

Olympus EVolt E-300 SLR Digital Camera? Is this a good camera?

[@pmexplore]

the drone greens look really good.

[@shot2death876]

Did not know it could fly and it is said to be quite empty inside the camera so could have been around 30% smaller according to one of your KZbin video competitors.

[@elvisjonyo2624]

Your intros are straight fire!!

[@nicodimus2222]

I like the look of Fujifilm bodies, but there isn't a ton of native glass to choose from.

[@yazidyusop]

cool cinematic drone footage at 8.15 onward... nice colours... the GFX 50s review is good too

[@mlubli]

Please review the Google Pixel 2 camera given it has the highest DxO rating. I'm curious to know if it's really that good from a pro perspective.

[@mario184mario]

Kai, which camera did you use for this video? Surely the video is more appealing than the expensive toy you handled

[@midnightpaleo]

I love the squeak from your leather jacket!

[@PaulSafford]

Nice review as alway - entertains. Considering the ‘eco system’ of the brand what medium format brand do you prefer shooting with? You got a link for that music at the end?

[@vic_li]

don't you just love the way he speaks

[@1994mrmojo]

I was actually looking for a good GFX video yesterday and was disappointed when I saw that Kai didn't have one. Spoooooooooky

[@QuickFingersGames]

Nice Colour grading job on the drone footage, cinematic vibes 😀

[@phillipflanders1180]

Quadruple 👍 That is a beautiful landscape !

[@miodragmilic2392]

hey Kai, which is that tripod near the end of the video with three stage center collumn

[@myhappygecko2895]

Love this video and all the cameo's by other photogs. Those photos are beautiful. I am about to sell my XPRO1 I know its a great camera I just always wind up back on my 5D Mark III i don't know why. Ugh... Fuji and Canon have my heart forever.

[@puttemacguff7666]

What do you think about the new DRTV crew? Not as cute as alamby!

[@billycullen6832]

Hey Kai! where is your Photo show Birmingham posting ? Eh??

[@NA-jo6bv]

Was just rewatching your DigitalRev videos! I wanted to find the one in which you speak Cantonese...

[@vidster7]

That thumbnail ..that damn thumbnail. Great vid kai

[@HurricaneWeasel]

Great video! Cool, that PJB was in it too.

[@peterdanyliw9506]

I like how he got a firm grip on the eyepiece when grabbing camera from case.

[@pdebie1982]

Those drone shots look awesome!

[@obsidian00]

Winner, Winner...chicken dinner! Another great vid Kai!

[@caiodlimaM]

what drone is that??? the image has a strange movement... kinda looks like 16fps

[@Niceone11202011]

Didn't you review this a while back in DRTV with Lok, Ian and Warren

[@pockeystar]

Did Kai post a GFX 50S shot fail before? if i remember correctly

[@tomaspland889]

did you use an ND filter for DSCF1062 picture?

[@YansenHaryanto4547]

what shutter does it use? leaf or normal on sensor shutter? and how leaf shutter work?

[@pawelecphoto]

Well done Kai! Super entertaining as always and solid review. I'll have the GFX in my hands shortly to test out again. I liked it except for the flash sync speed and slow AF - in studio. I'm debating between the GFX and Hasselbald X1D (with the new firmware update). Input always welcomed!

[@acanalesc]

Why arent you shooting 24p in the drone?

[@aphopis7210]

the things gonna skkrraaaa...notif squad

[@martinberry1540]

Kai in my local neighbourhood, great fun video and who goes to Mam Tor in a leather jacket!

[@88REDIAN]

Hey Kai do you have any cheap dslr for sell or giveaway cause i need one but i don't have the budget right now?!

[@pravinchheda4783]

hi kai, i like ur camera bag, wich brand? where can i get from? thanx

[@donsantasproduction]

Tell me, please, what is the model of camera which is using for filming on 1:40?

[@robphillips7722]

Kai W doing proper landscape shots... Who would have thought😀..... Great vid.... Plz get your hands on the new sony 24-105 f4 asap.... Would love to hear your thoughts....

[@TheBobes]

With Pentax being months away from being dead Fuji looks like a great successor to me.

[@JaaksFilm]

Where was the video shot? Looks amazing! Great video an all that etc etc..

[@shamimazad007]

A great video again Kai... Hope you review the new Panasonic camera...

[@Lens98052]

This video really sells me on drone videos.

[@BarretWallaceFFVII]

Can you put in your videos what cameras did you use? in case you have new ones

[@darren0405]

Where was this filmed ,looks great

[@MusaAbdulGafar]

How many billingham bags do you have?

[@JoeyHoogendoorn]

Peak District looking great. You live nearby?

[@stocksmk78]

was this shot at castleton in the peak district

[@StrawberrySilica]

Top quality vids as always.

[@ryanellis4474]

When is Nikon going to make a "pro-sumer" Medium format body?

[@gG-jg8bv]

love the final vid. Incredible

[@johnhaynes9910]

Good luck with the move.

[@holden_tld]

YOU HAD ME AT PENTAX

[@Zakalwe-01]

Yay! The man is back!! I’d love one of these cameras, and I bet the lenses are really cheap too! 😂

[@kottiwood]

nice video :) which camera you shoot on?

[@kottiwood]

in the landscape scenario, not in you kitchen ;-)

[@mathewwhite717]

may i know the location that you were shooting?
