The only time you see a difference is when pixel peeping. You’ll find so much more detail in the GFX image than APSC or full frame. View images as they are meant to be viewed and you’ll struggle to see any difference. Unless you want to crop significantly, there is no practical advantage of Medium format other than making you feel good in Lightroom when you zoom in to 100%.

If we're talking medium format only, there are less differences between my FF and GFX stuff but enough that I own and utilize it.

I recently downsized to an XT5 and I absolutely love the Fujifilm camera. I switched from a nikon full frame camera and I do not regret my decision whatsoever and honestly the XT5 has incredible low light performance and is pretty close to most full Fran cameras these days and given that it's 40 megapixels, it does the job in terms of cropping as well. It's the best of both worlds. I get the beautiful small ergonomic camera that I want to take out and shoot but I get very close to full frame performance. I'm not saying full frame cameras will die or they are dead, but when you get a little bit older and I'm not super old but you start question a lot of the miss and trends in photography and one of the things I found is the smaller the camera the more likely I'm going to use it so for me, it was just getting back out and shooting and taking the camera with me. Everywhere I went, and now I love that with the Fujifilm and it shoots fantastic landscapes as well and I have bought a bigger lens for the landscape but it's still way smaller than the NikonD850 that I was using. I love the Nikon cameras, but man they are heavy. I cannot recommend their Fujifilm XT5 highly enough. Honestly it is such a good camera. If you are fairly new to Photography I back up what Samuel is saying, then do considered the Fujifilm XT5. It is an incredible piece of tech. Just a disclaimer I am not being paid by Fujifilm to say this at all, and I'm not sponsored by Fujifilm whatsoever.

I personally find that combining APS-C (specifically the XT5) with AI tools (e.g., Topaz Denoise) - as long as you don't overdo it - practically negates the advantage of Full Frame whilst keeping the benefits of APS-C (lower weight, smaller body, price), with very little extra burden on workflow.

As a former a7r3 and a74 owner and now an xr5 user I must admit I miss full frame, my Sony bodies were nearly the same size as the xt5 and so were some of my lenses like the Zeiss 55f1.8 35mm f1.8 and even my 24mm f1.4 gm. Besides the ultra confident and accurate af-c what I miss the most is truly the fine details when cropping. My xt5 files look great at global level but fall a bit apart if cropped. The slanted lens showed this very clearly on their comparison of an a74 vs xh2 vs r6. What I do love about Fuji is obviously the colors, there’s almost no editing needed if you got your exposure right

I use the Fujifilm X-series for photography work for a couple of years now. Currently, I use the X-E4. It certainly can do weddings and portraits well. Though there really are several downsides with it, mainly autofocus performance and file fidelity. Autofocus with prime lenses (I shoot primes) is fine but not as quick and reliable as the other brands even with the latest bodies. The reasons are always either the body isn't good enough or the lenses aren't. While the AF works, it doesn't really inspire confidence to be honest. That said, I'm used to it and I've lived with it. I also love using manual lenses so AF has not been a deal breaker. Then there's file fidelity. While the files look great, they fall apart rather quickly compared to files from larger sensors. But it's fine still because I like that imperfect filmic look. What I absolutely hate though is X-Trans files are so damn processor heavy. I use my X-E4 with a GFX and the GFX files process faster! I wish Fujifilm will drop X-Trans to be honest because there's little gain over bayer from what I've seen from my various X-Trans and Bayer X-Series bodies I've owned in the past. That said, the APS-C X-Series can do the job for sure. It just takes a bit more work and working around its limitations. Which is why, as I'm getting busier with photo work again, I am considering replacing the X-E4 with a Nikon FF. I've used Nikon DSLRs in the past and have tested the current Nikon files. The color I get from my GFX and the Nikon are pretty close and easily match when I apply my color profiles. Still, I love the Fujifilm X-E4 especially for casual everyday photos. Something I'm not sure I'll be able to forego.

I don't see much of a difference between Full Frame, and DX. There surely IS a difference, but it's not huge. You don't start taking notice of huge differences unless you're comparing the DX format with a medium format digital. And by the way, the reasons have more to do with just the number of megapixels. I'm hardly a physicist. But yeah, the answer is there somewhere in the deeper sciences, and the differences between the sizes of the media. A true case of ... "bigger is better."

The Fujifilm crop cameras are only good for one thing and that's travel photography and video...because it is the lightest and smallest kit that provides the best quality to size ratio. But for everything else photography I will always pick my Nikon Z6 and assortment of old and new manual focus lenses from Nikon, Zeiss and Voigtlander, especially for low light, there is no comparison in image quality. Fuji raw files are not as dynamic and have crushed shadows and colours.. Fuji is for when I want a convenient daily throw around system that gives me nicer than smartphone picture when I don't want to be burdened by the weight and size of a full frame camera and lens.

Actually the opposite is true. Most big KZitem channels do everything they can to make Fuji look inferior to FF. The ones that have anything nice to say, still downplay the APSC system. Fuji has made a dent in FF camera sales, albeit minimally. But they still do. If you find smaller channels that actually know what they're talking about, you will get more of the truth. But, Fuji themselves aren't doing their own brand any better by not updating their older lenses like the 50-140 2.8 or adding better sports lenses to take advantage of the new tech. Viltrox is filling a void and Sigma is getting there. Eventually, some of those channels will have to eat their own words.
