      Fujifilm GFX 50S is equipped with X Processor Pro processor and can take pictures up to 8256 x 6192 resolution. Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 II is equipped with Venus Engine processor and can take pictures up to 5184 x 3888 resolution.


      Lens Mount

      Fujifilm GFX 50S has Fujifilm G lens mount and Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 II has Micro Four Thirds lens mount. Due to Medium format sensor in Fujifilm GFX 50S its crop factor is equal to 0.79x, this means that a 35mm equivalent focal length of the mounted lens will be equal to its actual focal length times 0.79. Due to Micro Four Thirds sensor in Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 II its crop factor is equal to 2x, this means that a 35mm equivalent focal length of the mounted lens will be equal to its actual focal length times 2.


      No Low-Pass Filter on Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 II
