The GFX 50S is an amazing camera, however, it's not for street photography (obviously). It's slow at focusing, bulky and too damn expensive to be shooting on the street. The only street benefit it has is that it's lightweight... Other than that it's a major overkill. I've read somewhat negative reviews on the unit, apparently, people didn't get what they wanted... Me for one, I thought it was amazing in terms of image quality, which is the only thing people should be looking at, right? Wrong, everyone wants this to be a DSLR with amazing image quality. It's not there yet. I think what people forget when they use it is that it's the first attempt from Fujifilm of a camera of it's kind... With that being said they did an excellent job. Remember the Fujifilm X-Pro1, yeah, they've come a long way from that.

What I tend to forget is that this camera was free, at least for the time that I used it. Had I paid $6000+ for this device would I be satisfied with my purchase? Probably not. But again, it's not a camera that's suited for my style! This is a studio camera, this is for studio professionals. This isn't a prosumer camera, this isn't a hobbyist device.... It's for the pros. It's legit an overkill for any other style of photography. The fact that it does video is crazy to me, no one should be buying this for that.

The Fujifilm GFX 50s is available for purchase on Amazon.
