Fujifilm GFX 50S Street Photography Detailed Analysis
Electronic Built-in Viewfinder

Using a viewfinder during a street photography shoot allows the photographer to stabilize the camera and reduce the camera shake since it is closer to the body. Besides, it comes handy where LCD screens are very hard to read under bright sunlight.

Live-view

Live view lets you take photos without using the viewfinder which makes you less obstrusive and this works very well during street photography where you don't want to get people's attention.

Face-Detection Focusing

Face detection focusing mode is very helpful in the street scenes where you focus on a face, since you can concentrate on framing and other adjustments while the camera handles the focus for you.

Tilting LCD Screen

An articulated screen gives you the flexibility to shoot in non traditional positions such as waist level, which helps you to be more creative and unobtrusive in the streets.

Large Medium format (44 x 33 mm) sensor

Large sensor in Fujifilm GFX 50S ensures a good low light image quality compared to smaller sensor, and it also provide shallow depth of field and a nice blurry background when needed.

Medium sized Body

Mirrorlessbody of Fujifilm GFX 50S is a good combination of relatively small size and good handling camera, without giving the impression of a professional camera.

No Image Stabilization

Due to the lack of sensor based Image stabilization, Fujifilm GFX 50S users have to rely on lenses with optical IS in order to maximize the sharpness of their handheld street photography photos. Currently there are native Fujifilm G mount lenses with Image Stabilization for Fujifilm GFX 50S.
