Fujifilm GFX 100 medium format camera with IBIS announced
In addition to announcing the new rangefinder-style Fujifilm GFX 50R and three new lenses, see here for more details, Fuji took the opportunity to make a development announcement.

Fujifilm announces rangefinder-esque GFX 50R and three lenses
Fujifilm has announced the GFX 50R, a rangefinder-styled medium format model based on the earlier GFX 50S.

The 50R has dual SD card slots with support…
