Their large, high-resolution sensors are the prime draw of the X1D-50c and the GFX 50S, but accessibility in price and design familiarity are obviously important, too. These two cameras tied for the top spot and comments by our pollsters ranged from, “makes medium format a consideration instead of a fantasy,” and “wish-list-come-true cameras.” Both of these cameras have medium-format and mirrorless shooters excited, and everyone else thinking about becoming a medium-format mirrorless shooter. Certainly, some wonderful cameras will not make the list, so please feel free to tell us, below, what cameras we missed and why you like the cameras that we did mention. The list is meant as a conversation starter and not the final word. Now, let’s extoll some cameras! We took a poll of staffers here at B&H to come up with a list of the “best” cameras announced this year. Has another year already come and gone? Of course it has, and I hope that your year was filled with satisfactions large and small and that your photography provided joy, passion, and creative expression.
