Hi,
I would go with GFX?
Why?
- Fuji has a clear roadmap.
- A guy called Jim Kasson has done an awful lot of testing on the GFX, has not seen anything similar on the X1D.
- GFX is more adaptable, as it has built in focal plane shutter.
- GFX is based on Fuji's long experience with EVF cameras and can reuse ASICs and other technology from other Fuji product lines.
- It seems that GFX lenses are much lower in price-
Do I see advantages with the X1D? Some:
- It seems that X1D is more focused on compact design.
- Leaf shutter design works better with electronic flash. Some deny this, but laws of physics say otherwise.
Best regards
Erik
This post will help me if I decide to sell what I have and go with one of these. I had the GFX 50s and its a great camera and IQ is excellent, especially Skin tones which is important to me. I am retired and shoot very few jobs and Mainly family and friends( which you all know is Non PAID ) I call it charity BUT I love what I do and have been for over 45 years shooting. If I had to settle down and get JUST one camera and 1 or 2 less at most I would like to choose one of the 2 mentioned. I know the Hassy costs more than the GFX but this year I know the prices will come down when the 100mp come out. Then I will see what I should do then. So, I am putting it out there to see what others can add to my thinking. Thank you. I hope the tread does NOT cause any hard feelings as it can be subjective as we all know. Thanks
