Haha yes it did, sadly I had to sell the 645Z to fund the X1D system. So at the time the only youtube reviews I did was the 645Z vs the 50R and 645Z vs the X1D, I didn't have time to do all 3 together.
I can comment though, and say if you don't care about the weight or the size of the 645Z, hands down the 645Z has the better raw files, faster and more accurate focusing, as well as the feeling like you can drop it and itll still work, plus the lenses are affordable as well.
The Fujifilm GFX 50R, at around ISO 3200 and above you can see this noise pattern I did not like, lenses for it are so sharp, I feel that sharpening is happening to the raw files in the camera, like its being baked in, colors are more towards the magenta side of things.
The X1D raw files are between the GFX and 645Z files, noise is not bad but not as good as the 645Z noise control, lenses are really excellent with the X1D, shutter is in the lens itself (left shutter system) so its rated for 1,000,000 exposures, whats funny is the shutter will sound different depending on what lens you put on the X1D, but the 45mm I have now, it sounds as loud as the 645Z shutter, weird right.
What attracted me to the X1D system, is the touch screen, easy to use menus, the colors straight out of camera (Hasselblad is more towards a green tint I been noticing), size is so small, will be happy to take it with me on my next vacation, also loving the touch screen interface on changing settings / menus, I just feel more of a connection with the X1D, GFX 50R, feels larger and more hallow when you pick it up, buttons are kinda small. If anyone has any questions they can PM me or ask here
