● DAY 01
Medium-format cameras aren’t known for their user-friendliness. Bulky, eye-wateringly expensive and rarely possessed of the planed-down niceties of a mirrorless, they’re traditionally tough to live with… but their giant sensors are capable of producing glorious photos.
Fujifilm’s latest GFX camera bucks the trend – well, mostly. It’s compact and lightweight by medium-format standards and packed with features like in-body image stabilisation and fast, accurate phase-detection autofocus that make it operate like the company’s X-series mirrorless models.
