Fujifilm's new GFX50S II is a bit of the same, but the insides have been changed a bit. They also made it "affordable" at $4,000, but it is a drop from the GFX100S, which is $10,000. Brandon gives us a quick tour of it today!

Suspicious they don't send the usb cable right at the time Linus decides to shame any manufacturers who send them faulty cables with his new gadget ;)
Maybe it wasn't in there because linus was testing it at the time ;)
I noticed that.
wow that camera is like a months avg wage ! oh maybe 2 months with lens
At this point, Brandon should get his own channel dedicated to cameras. I love hearing his informed thoughts on them.
yesss he should ❤️
He'd probably be to busy shooting other videos that he wouldn't have time to host a channel.
I want one!
Yess
I'd settle for a series of camera basics videos
Brandon is a really good host. I love his energy! He is definitely in his element when he is talking about cameras! I'd love to see his opinions on a laptop at some point!
Hey, you're not so bad yourself!
He should have his own channel about camera tech
Brandon is awesome! His videos are always extremely concise and complete. Nice calm presentation style, happy to watch them. Not exactly Kaiman W. but hey, one's for entertainment, one for friendly information :D
He’s making me take notes about cameras I will never have a need for never mind afford
Yes! More Brandon.
His content doesn't really fit the main channel but I'm glad he is appearing regularly here
Brandon’s short circut unboxings are some of my favourites on this channel
Can we have Brandon do a series of camera basic videos? I'd love to learn more about how to use a DSLR and I think he'd be great at it.
I’d love it to be even more beginner… what to look for to buy and what to avoid.
@@NathanBudd that could be their talking points in a video, show off a camera for a something it does well and why it's important. More videos give more a comparisons
Pleassseee
Checkout Mike Browne
@@meh2063 I will check them out. Thank you
I would never buy a camera this expensive, but I still watch these videos. I enjoy watching someone so knowledgeable talk about something they’re passionate about.
I’d love to see Brandon do a video on camera basics and compare different price bands and what to expect/look for.
I’m after an upgrade from my iPhone for photos of my kid at school plays, birthdays etc.
I'm on the same boat as you buddy 😉
I am complete the other side - i never really spend big money on phones or TVs - my phones cost moslty 200EUR and les TVs are same - :)
Ok my prefer are cameras and prof. filming stuff.^^
Yes, you were giving me anxiety with that exposed sensor. Thank you.
"Welcome to short circuit, today we're going to be doing something kind of different... But also kind of the same!"
This comment was killed by the title changing lol
That was the first thing i thought of!
😆 🤣 😂
Worlds collide
Nice more camera reviews that I can't afford to buy yet still watch for some reason
They should give him his own sister channel dedicated to cameras
Love your camera reviews dude. Keep it up!
So, I actually just bought this camera and HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF GOD IT'S WONDERFUL.
Coming away from the Nikon Z system there were definitely some adjustments - the AF and weight being the largest. But oh my god does it ever make up for it in image quality. The dynamic range, skin tones and sharpness make this one of the best purchases I've made for my craft ever. Great video Brandon, thank you for helping me validate my investment to myself lmaooo
As a medium format film photographer I appreciated the asterisk at the end. Although sadly that’s becoming less and less true. We need new film cameras (that aren’t a Leica)!
Great video, Brandon. Really cool camera as well. thanks!
Great job as always Brandon!
I love watching Brandon review products I could never hope to afford. Not that I wouldn't love to...
Brandon video = insta-watch. Always love these camera videos
Appreciate the shout out about the ronin 4D let's hope!
I adore these camera videos. More please!!!!
i love the camera gear vids!
I appreciate a medium format at this price and ability level, but I am more glad that you are not forced into a bundle with that lens.
That lens does not help this camera. I'm put off by its variable aperture, and honestly ... in these photo examples, it just looks soft.
Anyone not a newbie investing in this body is going to go for the GF 32-64mm F4 ... hands down ... twice the glass, albeit 4x's the price.
That said, I do get that they are aiming at the med format first timers, who right out of the gate can get into it without putting out $2500 for glass.
For those people, its nice that they are chucking it out at $500.
I'm just saying that its a very good thing its not a required bundle.
Apologies if this question is stupid, but why would variable aperture matter for a stills camera? I could see it making a difference for video, but aren't you getting more flexability with the variable aperture?
@@LimitedWard - Nope, not a dumb question at all. To the skilled eye a variable aperture lens zoom lens is remarkably softer sharpness wise, than a fixed aperture.
The benefit to a variable for still shooting?
A variable aperture like this allows for a much smaller, lighter zoom lens as you have the movement of aperture to compensate for a lot of the motion of elements in a zoom lens. This also means that variable zoom lenses will cost a lot less.
In a fixed aperture zoom lens, movement of elements is all you have to gain focus, which means the lens has to be longer, larger and heavier ... therefore much, much more expensive to build mechanically and optically ... theres more elements of glass to move around.
In a round about way, this different design also means that a variable aperture lens just cant get the same level of sharpness.
@@LimitedWard Adding to Pitboy's great comment, variable apertures also become another factor to consider if you are shooting in manual mode. You zoom in and the image will come out darker because the lens is letting in less light. You then have to compensate, which can be frustrating if you are shooting professionally. Using a fixed aperture lens avoids this
@@LimitedWard Variable aperture isn't a big deal by itself, it's just a mark of poor quality. If they are cheaping out not having a fixed aperture, they are obviously also cheaping out elsewhere, making the lens soft.
Honestly zoom lenses in general suck anyways. Prime lenses are easier to use and higher quality, so that's all I use.
This lens is really sharp. Period.
Brandon, I think a video about how you've grown in the video space from your early career, working with Linus and to now and what you've learned, mistakes you've made and how to avoid them.
Things like that would be AMAZING to hear about.
Please share!
Love these videos, want to get more into photography and this helps..
Please review all the cameras.
At this point I think I would prefer to hear Brandon read all the spec sheets over anyone else on UA-cam.
Cool
Im not a camera person so i dont understand anything but i still watch the whole thing lol. Just like tech :)
Love short circuit :)
I'm so excited for this camera, gonna be my first GFX
X-T4 owner here. I actually only own a single battery since I haven't ever had it run flat - and during video shoots it's usually plugged into external batteries or a gimbal haha
Love Brandon's camera reviews
I fucking love brandon camera gear videos.
I also REALLY like the new bananas for scale
Would love to see longer form reviews of cameras by Brandon and others
Bought mine used for $1800… the 35-70 I picked up for $325. I’m happy as a pig in 💩. This replaced my Fuji GA645. I got tired of paying $1/click for Portra 400. This is comparable.
The Canon 24-70 F2.8 II USM is a retrofocus lens so it actually extends backwards from most other lens (It's at it's longest at 24 rather than 70) but a key item about the visible barrel criticism: That particular lens has a lens hood that attaches before the barrel extension so you can't actually see the extra barrel length when it's used in full as sold. The F2.8 III USM doesn't extend as far (so the issue isn't as visible) but it does demonstrate the stated criticism as described.
Would love to see Brandon do a video with the Nikon Z9
Hey Brandon, have you ever thought about doing a buyers guide for cameras? I would especially interested in a guide for beginner cameras and lenses. Maybe that would also be a good video for the main channel. Love your reviews!
This is a really good idea. I do not know much about camera's, but I am the go-to tech person for my friends and family and would love to have a reliable source I could send them to if and when they want to buy a camera!
Brandon has the best voice within the LMG. I can listen to him talk about anything.
I am all for a standalone LTT channel that is based around production gear, cameras, microphones, mixing boards etc.
Always love the Camera videos by Brandon, some of my favourites. Would love to see your opinion on more budget camera's like the XT-200
@@SamWall Yeah I totally agree! I got a XT-200 myself and I love it. Just always enjoy hearing Brandon talk about camera's :P
Got me the 16-80mm and the 55-200mm second hand with it so I got a pretty good deal all together. Its only a hobby for me so I cant really justify spending 4 grand on a camera XD
@@SamWall Oh wow I was thinking about getting that 35mm F2 aswell XD
What is your experience with is so far?
And yeah I kinda wanted the 70-300 since it would line up better with my 16-80 but I couldnt get it anywhere and I found a fantastic deal on the 55-200 :P
Brandon has really nice hands, much appreciated
Thanks again for a nice video! One thing that I found a bit confusing in this one was the speak about the sensor. First it was "completely different", then later in the video it was "the same". I had to rewatch parts to figure it out... So the sensor was same as in 50 mk 1, but the body is the same as the 100? OK, my 1st watch I maybe wasn't fully focused, and English isn't my mother tongue, so maybe this was clear for others :)
I can't grasp why they wouldn't keep a dial on the back for menus. It's so practical. Crazy design flaw to me. It easily doubles as a dial for changing settings while shooting as well as in menus.
I'd love if you could look at some more brand comparison. I know you shoot fuji and sony mostly, but i'd love to see more different camera's in there like canon-lumix-nikon maybe even olympus etc
I actually really like this strap! I own a Peak Design as well, hate it (too slippery). But the Fuji strap, paired with the Peak Design clip system (which you can seperatly buy) is aaawweeesome!
I have literally 0 knowledge about cameras but I love Brandon talking about cameras even though I cant understand half of camera jargon he's using.
God damn it. This is it. Plus the film sim presets. I post my shots to try and match Fuji’s film sims
Brandon should get his own channel just for camera stuff
I'd be interested to see what you think about the Nikon Z series. Especially Z6 II and Z9
Yess more of Brandon's camera nerdery!
Good video. The nostalgia you refer to in the film settings is an organic continuation of the medium itself. Because of this, it isn't nostalgia--more rhetorical flourish of a digital variety. Nothing is more beautiful than film, nothing even comes close. This is why the Canon 5D Classic is revered as nearly perfect. The 5D sought to attract film photographers at a time when all photographers were film photographers. And it succeeded. Nothing has changed. Your take on this is one of gadgetry: techy know-how over artistry (sorry). It is a little cold. And film is warm. Fujifilm understands this. I very much enjoy your rapid-fire erudition. But your Dell computer gives you away as tech-savy and.....well...you know. Where is your Mac?
I'm glad they have cameras as a segment, because I like photography just as much as computers.
This would probably be better as an LTT video but it would be nice to have an overview current entry-level dslr-"like" cameras and how will they perform against each as well as growing within their eco systems. I have an old Canon 40d and thinking about getting a new camera but don't know if I should stick with Canon or not.
We want more Brandon and camera reviews.
I really think you should check out the Phase One IQ4 XF. They did lend one to Thomas Heaton and maybe they would accept for a UA-cam channel of the size of Short Circuit
We need a Brandon filmmaking/photography channel
As someone who isn't interested in cameras too much, the only reason I watch these videos is Brandon. We don't need more Camera coverage Brandon, we need more of YOUR camera coverage!!
Starting out in photography, using a modern camera with an LCD screen just felt so confusing for me. Everything on the screen felt overwhelming to use which is why I went analog. I'm loving my Minolta x-700 and if I do get a digital camera it wont be for a while.
Explanation video on all the words & abbreviations you use? When? Thanks a lot!!!
The reason you have to click in the command dial to switch between ISO and Aperture is because *every other GFX lens* has a dedicated aperture ring apart from this exact lens that you were using (and honestly, kinda weird that it doesn't have one, how much cost cutting are they really doing on something that is still priced as a high end lens?) - So USUALLY you would never be changing the aperture on the camera body, you'd always be changing it on the lens which is significantly better ergonomics.
And for what it's worth, cheaper X mount lenses do the same thing and honestly you can kinda get used to it, especially if you use auto ISO anyway.
Surely there's a setting you can configure to change the behavior of the front dial when setting the ISO.
I don't really care about cameras, yet I have to watch Brandon's unboxings
This guy is a great reviewer, he is really good on camera
50 sii is cool but i really like the design of the 50r. People hate it but hey to each their own..
Thanks Brandon
what strap should we use... I'm really curious.
I see Brandon in the thumbnail with a camera. I click.
What straps should I used for my camera then?
Would my lenses from my x-H2S work? On this camera?
8:00
Whats that x55 and x200?
55mm and 200mm?
Because that's clearly not 200x magnified
Or is it 155% and 200%?
Would love to see your thoughts on the Nikon Z9 :)
Hi I love your videos but could you review a cheaper camera for normal people like me :). For example, the CANON EOS M50 Mark II. Keep up the great work.
You didn't mention the aperture or iso button push before, probably because the lenses you used had aperture rings, so it's a non issue. That's my guess anyway.
We want the ronin 4D
edit: :(
On my gfx 50sii when I turn the camera off the top screen led stays on? Doesn’t seem right.
That's normal
1:32 oh hesus! 😱
that is expensive AF!
More camera videos!
Has the length, thickness and radius of curvature of the banana for scale been rigorously defined?
If you a reported and start filming in warzone or an "active" protest for example, that strap can be quite usefull. Not everone needs it but also not everyone doesn't.
The point probably was that the strap that came with it is bad, not straps in general.
Brandon is great host! Can we get more camera reviews for filming under 1.000€ with or without lens? Which cameras have low latency and are good for love streaming, good focus etc….
Yours
More fuji videos!🤘😼
what does mark 2 mean on cameras?
can you make a video on the new DJI Ronin 4D camera?
Still no GFX Selfie screen?
I still love my X-T4 but want the slim version of the camera but that new Sony phone with the 1" sensor is calling my name and may be the ultra portable rig. I don't see the need for a medium format right now. I'll stick with APS-C and full frame cameras for now.
If you're not going to do 60fps you should do the right thing and start recording everything at 120fps.
How about video capabilities?
Those photos look pretty good on my 800x600 projector.
Would love to see some sub $1,500 camera coverage in addition to these $2,500+ bodies.
It is any diffrence on camera for photos and video? In my langue we have diffrent name for camera for photo and camera for video
Another difference between this video and the other is this message from our sponsor :)
Can we please get a deeper dive into why the included straps are not good and Brandon doesn't use them?
Camera buying guide would be appreciated.
its Brandon so immediately gets a thumbs up!
why would I NOT use the factory strap?
Why is there an X in the image zoom and not a %?
Going in and out on colton and coming out soft? Not the first time I've heard that.
With the insane prices analog medium format cameras are sold for, and the price hikes of film, this may very well become the cheapest option for medium format
I want Linus to look at me when I weigh things too!
I would like to see a camera review thst is actually affordable, but still beats flag ship smart phones
lol don't know why I watched a camera review video thats more expensive than my truck hahaha T7 rebel is on my Christmas list.. this can go on my if I win a lottery list
There is another option to this. The Pentax 645z is still in production.
