The GFX50S II has a large-format image sensor with 51.4 megapixels. It is around 1.7 times larger than a 35 mm format sensor ("full format") and is characterised by a high dynamic range and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio. In conjunction with the powerful X-Processor 4, brilliant image quality is achieved. The images are characterised by rich tonal reproduction, low image noise and well-defined shadows and highlights. In conjunction with a GF series lens, a consistently high resolution is achieved across the entire image area and an almost three-dimensional image effect is achieved. The images are characterised by a high level of detail and a natural colour impression without false colours. This makes the GFX50S II the ideal camera for documentary work in museums and archives as well as other photographic applications where maximum colour and detail fidelity is required. The GFX50S II weighs only 900 grams and is particularly suitable for use without a tripod. The camera, which is no larger than a model with a 35 mm sensor, has an advanced five-axis image stabilisation system (IBIS) that effectively prevents camera shake and allows sharp images with up to 6.5 EV stops at slower shutter speeds. The IBIS system is particularly advantageous when shooting freehand in poor lighting conditions, such as indoors and after dark, as well as when shooting with long telephoto focal lengths. The robust magnesium housing is additionally reinforced around the bayonet mount to guarantee the best possible stability when using larger and heavier lenses. It is protected against splash water and dust and can be used at low temperatures down to minus 10 degrees Celsius. Its handiness and robustness make it possible to use the new GFX50S II in areas where conventional medium format cameras could hardly or not at all be used until now.
