If this is too expensive one might want to consider the X-S10 which has the same image quality but is not feature-rich. So in the APSC category, I would suggest the X-T4 flagship is one of the best APSC cameras at this point in time. In the APSC category, I find the Fujifilm cameras particularly interesting primarily because of their retro design, lens quality and X-tran sensors.

Lets look at three categories APSC, full frame and medium format. So looking at this reduced set of cameras what would I consider the top camera. In terms of the size, I find the image quality from APSC cameras a minimum for me, in most cases. I find mirrorless cameras smaller and lighter which makes for an easier kit to field.

That is not to say other kinds of cameras are problematic or do not take great images, most cameras these days are excellent even the one you find in your iPhone. The cameras that are of interest to me are mirrorless cameras and those that have sensors APSC or larger. Ports for a mic, headphones and remote control.Dual-hinged 3.2″ LCD can tilt for both landscape and portrait.Multi-shot mode for capturing 400MP images of still subjects.Hybrid autofocus system with nearly 100% coverage.5 axis with up to a 6 stop image-stabilized rating.The following are the key specifications but more detailed specifications can be found on the DPreview site. The illustration below shows both APSC and medium format size differences in the Fuji cameras using the 50r, 100s, x-t4 and the x-s10. Leaving Canon, Nikon and Sony to focus on the full-frame market. It does look like Fujifilm’s strategy is to focus on producing state-of-the-art APSC and medium format cameras. So depending on your subject matter and the results you are looking for, whether it be APSC, FF or MF, you need to consider which one works for your type of photography as these same properties vary with sensor size. Medium format has different characteristics from full-frame, there are different light gather properties and the depth of field is also different. Keep in mind the medium format sensors listed here are smaller than other medium format sensors, but they are 70% fuller than a full-frame sensor. If you look only at the mirrorless cameras then it is one of the more expensive options. Price-wise it appears to be in keeping with a full-frame camera when looking at flagship DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. When you compare the GFX 100s to other full frame mirrorless cameras, it is a similar in size, the Nikon and Sony cameras being the smallest in this group. When you compare the size to the original two 50-megapixel GFX cameras it is still smaller, even after adding stabilization and the EVF. As Phil Brownstone puts it Fujifilm has put a 102-megapixel Medium format camera, inside of a body slightly smaller and lighter than the Panasonic Lumix S1R Full Frame camera, at the same price as a Leica SL2, at a price comparable to a number of flagship full-frame cameras.
