The beauty of this camera being a super-performer is that it could free up the GFX-R line to be a more niche-driven camera. I’d love to see a GFX-R in a Mamiya 7 or X-Pan styled body with the hybrid OVF/EVF. Cheers to another great video!

Quick corrections! The GF 55mm lens is lighter than the 80, but saying “noticeably” may have been too strong a word. Also, I put the emphasis on rounded aperture blades instead of this lens having 11 of them, which is the actual novel feature. Lastly, there is no 20 FPS shooting in electronic shutter at this time. While this was told to us in the media briefing, I received an update from Japan that this feature is not available (at least not yet). Not happy with the amount of oversights in this video, my bad y'all. Gonna make sure to be more meticulous with future first impressions.

It’s noticeably better. It was faster and more accurate than my GFX 100s. In video, the accuracy dipped a little bit and was easier to fool but for photo, I was genuinely surprised how much it has improved. That being said, I only tested with one subject in studio. I’d like to test this further in other types of environments before saying it’s miles better or not. Hope this helps!

Though I am not surprised that they went with 100MP (this is, after all, an update of the original GFX 100), I would also love to see this in a 50MP version (with a new 50MP BSI sensor, not the one in the 50s, 50s II, and 50r). I have the original 50s with the tilting viewfinder adapter and I simply do not want to live without that option, and 50MP is plenty for me.

Great review! I really enjoyed how you presented this information. And I completely agree with your assessment of AI vs the enjoyment of going out and shooting. I’ve played with Midjourney for a couple of months just to understand it a little bit, and while it can create some amazingly realistic (or surrealistic, or hyper-realistic, etc) images, I’d much prefer going out, holding up my camera, and looking through the viewfinder to compose an image and not simply type “/imagine” followed by a few descriptive words to generate an image. Maybe it will eventually compliment my photography, but for now, I’ll gladly take the actual shooting experience any day.

Awesome camera - I'm sure the film sim won't port down (unfortunately) which is a shame - for now, I'll have to de-saturate Provia myself. But overall a step in the right direction. I'd definitely have to do some math before assuming I'd be headed to FF if I ever felt compelled - Fuji is truly bringing MF to the masses. Lets hope the 50mp variants are even faster - and that, at some point, Fuji can really push the readout/iso/DR performance even further.

🎉 Finally a more true to life standard film simulation. Now they can stop pretending that Provia looks like a standard natural and give us a real Provia 120 colour-matched look. 😅 It looks good though. Hopefully it looks just as good on the aps-c line with the less colour depth and dynamic range. If they could solve my other biggest problem which is no Tone slider for skin hue like Ricoh and Canon have. Let me in-camera modify the skin hue in any film simulation between Magenta and Amber please. 🙏 Honestly, though: This is looking like one of the best designed cameras I've seen in along time. Hopefully it trickles down.

Gajan you actually read and reply to messages! And reply in a constructive way.double dude! I have Been painting and drawing for 24 year's and started taken photographs about 17 ago,I draw from photographs, mainly still life and it has been a very interesting, frustrating journey sifting through reviews, buying and returning cameras as my needs as a photographer or more importantly my needs from a camera are so different to thant of which the cameras industry aims they product at. You style of reviews are niche! You are very good at what you do, you have created a style around Fuji cameras themselves which is a real achievement. So much nonsense online so much equipment and amazing photography machine and soo little creative out put from people.the net should been swamped with people's stories to though pictures and videos but it's not.its a strange world the camera world.big respect brother

I hold a whole summit and a professional photographers while everyone has been screaming for the X100 V to be produced people can't get XT fives yet they come out with a brand-new camera. Seriously Fujifilm you are losing me,.... But that's the Japanese for you whack yep that is their culture. They don't care what other people think and they will just go about the things that the way they think are the right way to go clearly a poor move and do it. It will impact them in time why don't they just make a camera in hand one to every professional photographer don't worry about the other millions of Photography's on the planet wow

Thanks for the context. The reality is that Fuji did pivot to make a more entry-level product (XS20) readily available along with a line of prosumer tools (XH2s, XH2, XT5). Focusing on a wider market than the hype-driven X100V. You can argue whether that was right or not, but to say they’ve prioritized GFX audience over the masses is just false. Let alone the cash-cow Instax.

@@GajanBalan I just don't see how this camera is going to revolutionise Photography because for one, it's not going to appeal to landscape photographers because it's too heavy so people don't want to carry this kind of gear to a landscape shoot. It's not going to appeal to portrait shooters because they don't use this type of camera so who does it appeal to laughably? They tried to promote it as a street camera that was when are you lost me and just went no this is just stupid sometimes bigger isn't better. That's probably the point. I need to make.

Hey as someone who gets paid to do this photo shit let me just tell you that it’s okay to sit this one out playboi lmao. This ain’t the last camera they’re ever releasing and if you’re to impatient to wait for their newest X line of cameras that’s on YOU when their cameras right now are doing MORE than enough to handle anything. The GFX 100 was well overdue and if you can’t get it. You can’t get. I’m not pissed Porsche releases a new Porsche every year with and not a hatchback Honda Lmao.

Maybe it is more about branding than anything else. If the best portrait and commercial photographers should choose the GFX system, they would gain a lot more Fuji buyers than ever. That is how it works. A brand simply needs some of the best photographers in the world, for them to sell even their small budget models.

It doesn't appeal to the mass market. what is the .0 that's right just to feed the big end of town again and make every other photographer feel small and insignificant.
