Olympus OM-D E-M1X

The newest Micro Four Thirds model from Olympus is basically an E-M1 Mark II on steroids. It has a built-in grip with a dual battery holder and dual card slots that’s robustly weather-sealed. It has a 20-megapixel image sensor and 121 all cross-type AF points. Like the E-M1 Mark II, it’s capable of a brisk 18 fps in continuous shooting but now offers a whopping 7.5 stops of image stabilization when using Sync IS compatible lenses from Olympus. Even when paired with a non-Sync IS lens, the E-M1X can offer seven stops of correction. The camera can record 4K video and has an anti-flicker mode that works at speeds up to 10 fps—a new benchmark.

Fujifilm GFX 50R

Fujifilm’s mirrorless medium-format camera is a slimmed-down variant of its GFX 50S, built in a rangefinder style (which we love, naturally). One of the main differences between the two models is the size. The GFX 50R weighs 5.1 ounces less than the GFX 50S and the body is 25.0mm thinner than the GFX 50S (which was already fairly compact next to your traditional medium-format camera system). The GFX 50R is equipped with a 0.77x, 3.69M-dot OLED viewfinder positioned to the side so that users can keep one eye on their subject and the other in the viewfinder. Beyond its compact size, the 50R carries over almost all of the core features of the GFX 50S, including its 51.4-megapixel CMOS image sensor and X-Processor Pro image-processing engine.
