Commenting on the flagship model launch, Mohammad Al Farei, Managing Director of Photocentre said, “The launch of the FUJIFILM GFX 50S in Oman has professional photographers really excited. As forward-thinking as the medium-format GFX 50S is, the use of film-camera inspired design gives it intuitive operation and the ability to apply the camera system to myriad styles and methods of image-making. The sensor’s large form factor also achieves a unique three-dimensional look with especially smooth tonal and colour transitions. Beyond this, the sensor and processor combination also gives the ability to work in a variety of aspect ratios common to traditional large and medium-format film cameras, as well as the ability to shoot at up to 3 fps or record Full HD 1080p/30 video.”
