In this case, none of these cameras use much if any anti-alias filtering at the sensor and little to no noise reduction at their lowest ISOs, so pixels are the same. Medium format digital doesn't make sharper pictures or sharper pixels at low ISOs if you have the same number of pixels (about 50 MP in each of these cameras) they all are as sharp at the lowest ISO. HA! Actually the GFX is a little better with details: look for the fine breaks in the circles around the 8, 9, and 10 o'clock digits. Tough.īelow ISO 100 the Nikon looks about as sharp as the GFX. I pulled the Nikon shots from my files where I had shot it at its default low ISOs of ISO 32 and ISO 64 I didn't have any shots at ISO 50 rather than 64. Fujifilm cameras can't make wild colors I set my Fujis to +4 for Color and they stay reasonable as you'll see here. I left the GFX at its default settings for sharpness.įor color I have my Nikons and Canons set to the max: VIVID and +3 saturation for Nikon and STANDARD with +4 Saturation for Canon. I had the Nikon and Canon sharpening pegged at their top settings as I shoot each: +9 Sharpening and Midrange left at +2 for the Z7 and 7,5,5 in my 5DS/R. Camera makers don't want you to know that 50mm f/1.8 lenses are often the sharpest lenses made, as well as the most useful and least expensive. What's interesting is that while I used the sharpest lens I had handy for each, the Fujifilm GF 32-64mm sells for about $1,799 on special, the Nikon Z 24-70mm f/4 sells for about $997 and the basic Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM sells for only $125 - and the $125 Canon lens holds up to the others just fine. I shot each camera with a 50mm equivalent lens at f/8 and used each camera's own FINE JPGs, each about a 20MB file. Oddly the light was so different that the detail in the gold center of the clock simply disappeared in the Fujifilm and Canon shots so ignore that if you look at the full images. I used a tripod and shot by available natural light on different days. Don't read too much into the colors other than that Fuji can't make wild colors as I have my Nikons and Canons set to do.Ĭlick any of these crops for the camera-original © JPG files, each about 20MB file size: These were shot on different days by natural available light, so the exposures and colors aren't supposed to match. If each crop is about 4" (10cm) wide on your screen, then the complete image printed at this same insane level of magnification would be about 116 × 174" (9.7 × 14.5 feet or 2.2 × 4.4 meters). If each crop is about 2" (5cm) wide on your screen, then the complete image printed at this same extreme magnification would be about 58 × 87" (4.8 × 7.2 feet or 1.5 × 2.2 meters). If each crop is about 1" (2.5cm) wide on your screen, then the complete image printed at this same high magnification would be about 29 × 43" (2.4 × 3.6 feet or 0.75 × 1.1 meters). How tight are these 200 × 450 pixel crops that vary in size to fit your browser window? I'm only showing these super-tight tight crops looking at the complete images at this size will only show the huge differences in color rendition between the demure Fujifilm camera and the rude colors I get from my Nikons and Canons with their saturations pumped all the way up to beyond legal limits as I usually shoot them. These are 200 × 450 pixel crops from the original 50MP files, all shot at the same distance with the same (equivalent) lens. When I got my 50 MP Fujifilm GFX, I compared it to my state-of-the-art 50 MP Canon 5DS/R and state-of-the-art 47MP Nikon Z7. Will medium-format digital, with only a small increase in sensor size from full-frame (33 × 44mm vs 24 × 36mm, or only a 27% linear increase), look any better or worse than full-frame, especially when we realize that medium-format digital only comes from much smaller companies with much smaller development budgets than full-frame which comes from giants like Nikon and Canon with nearly unlimited resources to optimize designs to get everything out of their smaller sensors?
