Even to get the full JPEG file size (Not a JPEG preview from RAW) uploaded to your smart device, one must have File Format: RAW & JPEG selected.
I'm going to have to spend some time and look into the file options.

Of course you could have a Fuji medium format style body with a 2/35 equivalent lens for almost similar size ....A bit heavier I guess.
The Fuji 50R is really intriguing me. I will get one for review and compare it to the A7RIII.
As the Fuji MF line-up matures and the 100S (100MP, IBIS, Phase detect) and future 100R comes along, it will be hard to resist for landscapes and portraits.

The future 100MP versions will make good sense I think (though I predict being able to resist) but I'm less sure about the current 50MP sensor. Rishi's tests over at DPR make it look like the benefit is negligible over FF, for quite a lot of cost in dollars and wight. It's true that you seem to get a bit more real resolution, according to Jim Kasson (seems basically that the lenses while a little less sharp per unit area than most good FF lenses, are sharp enough that you get a visible at 200% pixels improvement in the image sharpness as you magnifying the area of the sensor less).

The 50 is good but it’s not worlds apart good. I’ve tested it in the past with a back and tech cam. Great sensor but I’d wait for the 100 if you want better IQ

It will probably be another 3-5 years before the 100 MP sensor trickles down to 50R pricing. But waiting is not a bad thing, it is the least expensive way to deal with GAS
And please let us have one 100 MP sensor without PDAF pixels. If the current 50 MP sensor turns out to be the last clean sensor, I will almost certainly pick one up at even lower prices at that time.

I had a quick go on the Fuji 50R today and I normally shoot on the A7R III, but it just a real quick go as I was mostly focused on the XT-3. Focusing seemed snappy, although not as fast as the A7R III, but that can totally vary by lens, I imagine. I tested it with the 110mm f/2. The camera's form factor seemed comfortable, and it was surprisingly lightweight. The shutter is really loud compared to the A7R III. The images looked impressively sharp, but again it was just a very quick test.
Personally I wouldn't switch to the 50R myself, as I couldn't see a major difference between the two in terms of image quality. I'm sure there will be a difference (I can't open the raw files yet it seems), but for me personally I doubt it would be big enough to switch brands to.
That XT-3 was great, but I'd miss the resolution for cropping.

I would definitely see the 50R as a resolution upgrade from the A7rIII if you shoot 4:3 or squarer. In that case you would need a 57.5 MP 3:2 sensor to match the vertical resolution of the 50R. Or a more practical relationship: The 50R stands to the A7rIII as the A7rIII stands to the 5D IV. If people think that the resolution advantage of 42 MP is significant over 30 MP, they will get a similar advantage by upgrading to the 50R. Alternatively, would you consider a 60 MP A7rIV as a resolution upgrade from 42 MP? It is roughly the same relationship. Again, if you shoot 4:3 or squarer.

IMO, the ZX1's major downside is weight and size. Even the 50MP medium format Fuji 50R is only 690g and there is a pancake GF lens coming soon.
Only a superb 'alien IQ' 35mm lens and a down to earth price could save this camera.

That Fuji is very exciting. It reminds me of the Fuji GW690 fixed lens cameras I had in the 90's. They had excellent handling and fun to use with that huge image area.

If there is a resolution difference, it seems to be small and definitely not the reason to start a new system. I'm more interested in the different look and effect as medium format lenses are 'longer FL' compared to full frame equivalents. As someone wrote...it will be a while for the 100R to come to market and by then, Sony may have many surprises, allowing many of us to continue resisting MF even for landscapes photography.
