No it’s not lightweight at around 6.5 pounds or so but it’s probably pretty close in size/weight to a gripped pro-Mirrorless camera with a 70-200/2.8 attached. So not unwieldy either.Even with the 1.4x TC on, detail is impeccable.

But at a combined 3065 grams you hardly can't call it a light-weight kit: luckily there's OIS ...
....yes the Z7 would absolute be the the most sensible solution, and I have looked forward to fulfill this dream of a solid "familiar" decision.
Same sensor but IMO it seems to be more limited in tactile use comparatively. I know some are caught up on the size and aesthetics but the 50S really isn’t all that big of a camera... and it’s even more apparent when you consider sensor size. It’s very comparable in size to a 5D and a little smaller than a D850.
Yeah I think they constantly reiterate not going into FF because many of their users keep asking for it. I agree that there’s little need for Fuji to go FF because their APS-C is good enough for most things and the GFX line handles what the APS-C Cameras can’t quite do as well. It’s a really good balance IMO and possibly the best one for professionals going forward as smartphone cameras continue to improve. I think believe FF is the best singular “compromise” but it is still considered a smaller format (while being very capable for pretty much everything still).
Quite simply: I'm not interested in a "rangefinder" look-alike that is missing a proper grip, like the 50S.Bart, I guess you have had considerations between waiting for the 50R, compared to the 50S,and we know the result of these speculation
But let me ask for your inner considerations?

Thanks, that is clear talk, Bart.
Maybe it’s just me but it’s really comes down to a decision of form vs. function. I’ve tested the 50S on 4 separate occasions now (when going back and forth on the decision to purchase) and if I bought into the GFX that’s the way I’d clearly go but I’d view it as a potential “workhorse” camera for pretty much everything where size and large aperture lenses weren’t necessary.obviously I haven’t handled the 50R (yet) but I plan on it at some point. Functional decisions were made though in what to cut from the camera when designing the 50R which makes it less attractive for me but they may not be deal breakers for you.
Can't agree more: but for 'easy going' the 50R is your camera.
Hey K-H, what's your game ... :angel::thumbup: :clap: :watch:
Hi Thorkil,
