The Fujifilm GFX 50S is the first medium format digital camera that the company has made. It has a 51.4MP CMOS sensor that is 43.8 x 32.9mm and uses new G-mount lenses. It has a crop factor of 0.79x.
It has a 117-point contrast-detect autofocus system and uses the same X Processor Pro as the X-Pro2 and X-T2. For a medium format camera, the body is small and light, and it has a 3.2″ touchscreen LCD that can be moved in three directions.
An ultra-high-resolution OLED electronic viewfinder with 3.69M dots can be detached, and a separate adapter lets it tilt and turn. On top of the camera is a small LCD that shows information about the shooting. The GFX has the usual Fujifilm Film Simulation modes as well as a new Color Chrome Effect mode. It can also record up to 30 frames per second of Full HD video. There is no need for a battery grip.
With the Fujifilm GFX 50S, the company is getting into the digital medium format market. It takes the idea behind the APS-C X-series cameras and adds a bigger sensor to it. There are a lot of control points, the image quality is great, and the autofocus is accurate, but don’t expect it to focus on things that are moving.
The only thing that really keeps the GFX 50S from reaching its full potential is that (at launch) it only comes with a small number of lenses with slow maximum apertures. Still, it has the best image quality we’ve seen so far and is a very nice camera to use in general.

- 3.5mm TRS output for use with cameras and a digital USB output for use with smartphones, tablets and computers

The Rode VideoMic GO II is a smaller, less complicated version of the VideoMic NTG, which is a very flexible microphone. It’s a big change from the first VideoMic GO. The body, shockmount, cable, and other parts have all been made much better.
It gives video content makers, run-and-gun filmmakers, voiceover artists, and podcasters the sound of the well-known NTG shotguns in a convenient camera-mount mic that works with cameras, portable recorders, iOS, and Android mobile devices, and USB-equipped computers.
The VideoMic GO II can be used as a traditional shotgun mic for your DSLR, or you can use a separate cable to connect it to your smartphone, tablet, or laptop to turn it into a digital microphone. In both cases, it provides focused direction, low noise, and isolation from vibrations from the outside.
When used as a USB microphone, the 3.5mm jack acts as a headphone output so you can listen to the live signal or playback from your host device. The mic is easy and quick to use because it can be powered by a plug or a USB port, and it doesn’t have any buttons or controls.
2. Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone
Sennheiser Professional MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone with XLR-3 to 3.5mm Connector for Video Camera/Camcorder
- Ideal video camera/camcorder microphone: Able to handle the most demanding filmic challenges
- High directivity: Picks up sounds coming from the direction in which the camera is pointing and effectively attenuates noise coming from the sides and rear
Free shipping
Switch from your camera’s built-in mic to the battery- or phantom-powered Sennheiser MKE 600 shotgun microphone to improve the sound quality of your videos. It is good for a wide range of productions, from independent films and web series to nature shows and documentaries, because it can be pointed in one direction and doesn’t pick up noise from the building.
The MKE 600’s high sensitivity and low-noise circuitry make it possible to get better sound quality from noisy camera preamps without having to use a lot of gains. The MKE 600 can make speech clear while reducing rumble and other low-frequency noise because it has a natural roll-off at 40 Hz and a low-cut filter that can be set at 100 Hz. Also, its frequency response has a small rise in the treble to make speech sound clearer.
The metal housing is strong and light, so it won’t make your rig heavier but will still be tough. The MKE 600 comes with a shoe shockmount that lets you connect it to a camera or tripod. Connect the XLR output of the mic to an XLR mic preamp, or use the adapter cable that came with the mic to connect it to the 3.5mm mic input of a camera.

The VideoMic NTG has a focused directivity, a gain that changes all the time, tone controls that are switched digitally, and an internal battery that can be charged via USB. It sounds clear and can be used for a lot of different things. Because it is made of aerospace-grade aluminum, the VideoMic NTG is strong, small, and light, so you can put it on a camera or a boom pole.
It works with cameras, portable recorders, mobile devices, and computers without the need for adapters because it has a 3.5mm TRRS output and comes with a TRRS cable. With a peak warning light, a -20 dB pad, and a -20 dB safety channel that you can choose, it’s easy to keep your recordings from getting messed up.

The NTG5 has a clear sound because of its innovative circular acoustic ports, gentle rise in high frequencies, and attenuation of low bass frequencies, which reduces rumble. There are no buttons or dials, so it is easy to set up. This lets you pay attention to the sound instead of adjusting the mic settings. Even in harsh environments, performance is always reliable when RF bias technology and conformal coating are used.
