The Fujifilm GFX100S has fantastic image quality and autofocus (check out our review). But it’s also large. In conclusion, I think modern-day medium format is indeed better than full frame.

Will Fujifilm release a full-frame camera?
Accordingly, Is Fujifilm GFX full frame? With the GFX system using a much larger sensor than that in a full-frame camera, lens focal lengths are not equivalent. In other words, a 50mm lens on a full-frame camera will have a completely different field of view to a 50mm lens on the GFX system.
Is medium format better than full frame?
Medium format resolution
Bigger sensors mean more space for pixels. Currently the largest full frame resolutions are between 50 and 60MP, while medium format offers 100MP and more, providing vast amounts of image data.
Is GFX 50R worth? The GFX 50R isn’t much bigger than a full-frame camera and offers better technical image quality than any of them. Its color rendition is superior for flesh tones. If I were a full-time people and portrait photographer, I would be looking at this very carefully rather than a Nikon, Canon or Sony full-frame camera.
Why is medium format better than 35mm? Medium format gives far better technical quality than 35mm and is just as easy to use, since the film comes in rolls you can load in daylight like 35mm. Mamiya and Pentax and Contax make autofocus motordrive cameras and zoom lenses, so you have no excuses. Medium format is great for everything.
What is APS-C vs full-frame? Full-frame and APS-C formats indicate the sensor’s physical dimensions, which is different from pixel count. A full-frame sensor has 36mm by 24mm size based on the traditional 35mm film format. An APS-C sensor is 1.5 times smaller, 25.1mm by 16.7mm, and named after Advanced Photo System type-C film format.
Is medium format good?
Medium format sensors also tend to be slightly more technically impressive than full frame sensors. More space on the sensor means not just more photosites, but larger photosites. Those larger photosites let in more light, leading to improvements in low light performance and dynamic range.

Will Fuji make a monochrome camera?
After years of requests, we are converting some of the Fuji XTrans color sensor cameras to monochrome. Fuji monochrome cameras can compare quite favorably to the Leica M but with higher performance in many respects and with a much lower price.
Who is the GFX 100S for? Ultimately the GFX 100S is aimed for those who demand the best image quality under five figures and who desire a different experience to full-frame. It couples the style of the X-series with the refreshingly different approach to shooting with a larger sensor.
Why are Fujifilm cameras so popular?
Image Quality: Fujifilm’s X Series cameras deliver astounding clarity and sharpness, partly due to the lack of an anti-aliasing filter. Straight out of the camera, your shots will be sharper than many high-end Nikon and Canon DSLR’s.
Does Fuji make their own sensors?
The Fujifilm X-Trans is a sensor developed by Fujifilm and used in its Fujifilm X series cameras. Unlike most sensors featuring a conventional Bayer filter array, X-Trans sensors have a unique 6 by 6 pattern of photosites.
What is Fujifilm GFX crop factor? The Fujifilm GFX 50R is the the rangefinder version of the company’s SLR-styled GFX 50S medium format digital camera. It offers a 43.8 x 32.9mm 51.4MP CMOS sensor and uses new G-mount lenses, with a crop factor of 0.79x.
What is Fuji crop factor? The Fuji X-Pro1’s APS-C sensor has a crop factor of about 1.5x, giving the XF 35mm f/1.4 lens a 35mm equivalent focal length of about 53mm.
What is 50mm on medium format?
The 6 x 6 format frame is 56mm x 56mm. It measures 79.2mm diagonally. As you can easily deduce, the 6 x 6 format is a square format, or a 1:1 ratio.
…
6 x 6 Crop Factor = 0.55.
| 6 x 6 Lens | 35mm Equivalent |
|---|---|
| 40mm | 22mm |
| 50mm | 28mm |
| 60mm | 33mm |
| 65mm | 36mm |

Is 120 film still available? 120 film is still a very popular medium format film, especially with the recent popularity of the Holga. The 120 film format was originally introduced by Eastman Kodak for its Brownie No. 2 in 1901. The 620 roll film was the same size, but didn’t have a spool and is discontinued.
Do I really need medium format?
The Advantages of Medium Format
As with any purchase, it depends on your priorities. Some photographers will find that the subtle differences between medium format cameras and full frame cameras are worth the extra money, and some won’t. It’s certainly not an objective “x is better than y.”
Why does full-frame look better? Full-frame cameras have bigger, better pixels
Larger pixels can capture more color information and also capture incoming light with greater efficiency and less noise than smaller pixels. This is the main reason full-frame sensors can deliver better performance at higher ISO settings than so-called crop sensors.
