I want one.....so so badly. But as a mainly wedding photographer honestly it's overkill. But I would LOVE to have it and see what kind of results I could get at a wedding. It seems like even as a medium format camera it could keep up with wedding photography as well.

your pictures really good . i love this camera i’m planning to buy one i just need to sell my kidney first

Just incredible photos. Makes me want medium format 😬

I really enjoyed your review and approach to it. There come out many videos when a camera is released and it is usually not from people who "own" that gear but who test it for a very short amount of time. You are one of the passionate few that actually shoot it, take time to experience it and now have given us that beautiful impression video. Thank you for that. With medium format cameras there are not so many people who actually do this in such a nice way with the images and behind the scenes videos included. Looking forward to your next GFX100 Video over the months as you experience it more and more :) Greetings from Germany, Dirksón!

felt my soul leave my body when I heard "it set me back $20,000" haha felt the same buying 1dx mark 2 last week lol

The best review I've seen so far on this camera. Beautiful images!

Using this for powerline inspections out of a helicopter to supplement my D810's. Can't use it for everything but it speeds up the stuff I can use it for. Less fuel used is more money made ; ) Also have the 50R which I'm really enjoying as well, the whole GFX system is pretty superb.

The sample photos are absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for sharing. Feeling inspired asf right now

The intro is soo cool😍

FINALLY. Someone who actually focuses in on the video aspect of the GFX 100. Others either pay it no mind or give it 2min max. That doesn't do much to help me decide if the camera is worth using for small video projects on the side. Thanks.

Player not even using a strap 😩

When the firmware update hits and this starts to take 400 mega pixel pictures , it's going to be a beast.

Definitely my favourite camera. Unless I'm just taking something out with friends... then the 100 becomes too labour intense. The X-T30 compliments it well.

$10,000 camera! wow! I am getting an 2014 nikon d750 as my first full frame 😊

I own a GFX100 and undoubtedly this is the best camera I've personally ever owned and have worked with to date. Image quality and versatility are unmatched and having upgraded from an EOS 1Dx MkII, it's relatively large size and weight are no issues for me as I was used to bigger FF cameras before anyway. Would love to see another follow-up long-term video later on as you use it longer. Love your channel, keep up the awesome work!

This is the best GFX100 video on KZfaq right now.

I am so glad you are so positive about this camera and Not negative about the price, like most of the people who used it. good job team !

Awesome video, as always!! Love this style of review where it's your real-world experience. The editing in with your lightroom changes was impeccable. And of course, those photos are droooool worthy!

Hey Sam, i've been doing alot more in camera settings for my pictures , as u suggested , and i must say i don't spend as much time editing on my software and helps with a consistent look. Thanks man!

Great review! Like many, I would love to get this camera. Maybe down the road if the price drops. For now I will use a nodal slide (RRS - MPR-CL-II) with my Canon 5DSr and Zeiss lenses and do three vertical frame stitching to get the equivalent of a medium format image. You can't do this if you shoot people or moving objects but for landscapes, it's a great solution. You can even use a nodal slide to get a full frame image from a crop sensor camera.

Really love the tonality of all your pictures taken by the gfx100. They remind me of portra 400 on medium format film cameras. Would you mind doing a post-processing tutorial on how to achieve that? I have been trying to figure it out for a long while.

The only thing missing (for my style of photography) is a full frame sensor. I'd love Fuji to come up with a 645 mirrorless camera with like 30-40Mpix and huuuuge dynamic range.

I know this was almost 4 years ago now but in case you still have the camera: you said it does 4K 60fps, but online I see that it only does 4K 30fps. Was there a firmware update while you had the camera to allow it do to 4K 60fps?

Im thinking to get one to photograph my kids and my cat

Most hypnotic voice of all youtubers ever. almost sign up for squarespace. lol...

That intro was fire fr my guy.

I'm looking to grab one this winter. I previously shot with Phase One and had to offload my gear to survive the loss of work due to covid. The big thing selling me on fuji, being able to use an adapter to shoot with the canon glass I have on hand already. Granted I'll lose out on much of the stabilization features, but it will allow me to work with what I have already on hand until I have the glass I want for the fuji.

i Wish one Day i can afford a camera like that

I ultimately want that but I’m saving up for a gfx 50s right now

I like how much smaller it is than my Phase One.

As a fashion shooter used to the big box MF format I was concerned I would not get on with it however this is the only camera I have used which not only ticks the 'Is it as good as a Mamiya RZ?" box but surpasses it. The 110 and 80mm are the new boss's - but I love the 50mm - one lens to rule them all - and it hooks into Elinchrom ELB500's to give gives consistent HS sync at all speeds way beyond the RZ's lowly 400 max right up to Fuji' 4000 1/S. Push and pull in post like no other system out there - way beyond my last effort in digital - the Hass H6D100c - which whilst ultimately more accurate colour wise was far too slow in reality both in lenses and in use on set. I might even be tempted to get the little 100s to see how that works in my hands. Fuji. you have delivered - my thanks.

8:33 I thought it could do 4k 30? Not 4k 60?.... But still, thanks for the review!!

You talk about the wonderful depth of medium format. Do you mean the shallow depth of field? Or color depth? Or something else entirely?

Class act review and photos. FUJI is magic!

Once I lock down 2 more commercial gigs I will be buying this body! I will be complete! I Have the Nikon D850, Nikon D4s, Hasselblad X1d II, and for a stand out commercial body the Fujifilm GFX 100

Do you change lenses without covering that beautiful exposed sensor 😱? My D800 with 36MP and a big mirror, catches incredibly easily little dust, forcing me to clean it every two to three months!

I still find it funny that there will be that one random beginner with an insane amount of money who just gets this as their first camera

Thanks for the informative review. The question that remains for me is not regarding the camera itself, but rather what computer do you use to edit such huge files (200 Mb, as you mentionned) and especially, how much RAM do you need to edit at a reasonable speed. Investing in a camera like this would also mean for me to invest in a new computer. My Mac Pro is 12 years old and would most certainly not be able to handle the GFX 100 files with ease. All the best to you!

Great video and stunning photography Sam 👌🏻I'm curious about your Macbook Pro config, those files are massive!

I dig the vibes man. Great work.

Where people are concerned, cropping in does not change the face that the content was shot with a wide angle lens - all the optical issues remain . Cropping short telephoto into a wide aspect ratio frame plays much better.

Hi, thenks for the review and your time. Do you have comments about this camera in motion photography at night (wedding party)?

Just bought this to upgrade from a Nikon d300, going to use it now for skate photos

Sick stop motion.

Great review makes me want to sell a kidney to get one! I am running a XT3 currently and I just love how Fuji files come out of the camera and I'm loving the video. Fuji really nailed this, and I feel that it's leaps and bounds over the GFX50s/r with the AF, the IBIS, file size of course. I've been looking into possibly getting into the GFX line with a pre-owned GFX50r to at least get into the lens system as I don't nearly do as much commercial work you do but I LOVE the larger format. I've used the Hasselblad X1D and the resolution out of 50 megapixels is astonishing, I couldn't Imagine 102. In your opinion do you think that this would be a one all do all camera? It's advertised to have AF on par with some DSLRs granted it's not 1Dx but it seems to have great capability for some moving subjects and some action as I've seen in some reviews.

HOLY-SHOOT! Truly amazing!! Love it.

Love this video, thanks Samuel.

straight up real world review. Thanks dude.

How did you make that intro with the camera on the desk? Please share

Building my gfx lens collection first, I have the 50r and love it but the gfx 100 seems on another level, will certainly keep my eye on it

The shots your holding the camera are pretty impressive, with which camera did you shoot this video?

Great photos, i’m so amazed of the color... following this journey here and insta :)

Great video, thank you! I am experimenting with photogrammetry - making 3D models of real world objects using photographs. I am very curious what kind of results I could get with photos from this camera. Any chance you would have the time to produce a small data set? I would just want like 20 photos of some interesting textured object. A mossy boulder, a graffitied dumpster, or the like. Shot with a fixed focal length. No worries if you’re busy but if that sounds interesting do let me know. Happy to share all data if you want to make a video about the results. Thanks!

i use an XF/IQ3 for walkaround occasionally -- it's not ideal, but it works. The GFX is a much better all-around MFD camera. Congrats!

Yeah the pics are seriously just insane!! You get what you pay for. One thing about the pics are they give you a feeling and capture the emotion. They stick in your mind.

Also that intro is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Samual....have you used Capture ONE?

Not sure if you've tried the 50S or R, but if you have, how is the auto focus compared to one of those? I have a 50S and was curious if the 100 had better auto focusing

You don’t use Capture One for your Fuji files? Do you think Lightroom handles them just fine?

That tilting EVF is amazing. Its a shame that only Fuji makes cameras and only the expensive GFX line with tilting EVF.

Wow thank you for the info it looks great.

that intro was so sick whtthehell

I would attribute all the extra performance you are seeing to the amount of megapixels more than anything. Full frame sensors are so good now and have such a wide variety of tack sharp lenses that the objectively quantifiable medium format advantage is having a ton of extra resolution and maybe marginally better micro contrast (which top shelf full frame lenses can do very well). Your work is outstanding btw!

So many great shots

Would love to get one of the raws to edit them!

Nice review. I love my GFX100. One question, but how do you find the stability on the Peak Designs tripod I saw you using in the video? I like the idea of how light and compact it is, but wondered if it might be a little too small and unsteady for the GFX100?

Can you tell me if this camera offers in camera multi exp.?

I want one so bad 😍 I hope the mk ii utilizes CFast instead of SD cards

I love r presets…. Do you sell it?

Fuji is using lossless compressed RAWs, atleast on my GFX50s so I would assume same on the GFX100. I do agree GFX100 is one nice MF camera. Hoping Fuji comes with the GFX100s model without that big grip. BTW - Which tripod were you using in this video?

is it worth to have the Tilt Finder?

Hi. Nice informative review. I noticed the peak design tripod with the GFX 100. I was wondering what has been your experience with the combination

thanks for the review i myself purchase it last october n i love it ..i mean i had to save alot of money but it was worth it ,,i love the camera !!!!!!!!!!!

I want one. 😢😢😢😢😢

What are your thoughts of the GFX 100s just releasing?

Do you have a fuji xt3 or 4? Whats the difference in video

One of the best video review I evercame across. Many congrats to you Sam for making upto this point and I hope one day I could reach same level as well. Beautiful and sacred photos IMO.

6:44 is that banding actually in the photo or something that went wrong with the video? It looks horrible

Can someone please help me, I desperately want to move to a medium format but I feel like there’s not as much information on them, is the gfx100 the best camera for 10k and under in terms of resolution and picture quality ? Is it really that much better than the other medium format cameras like Leica and hasselblad ?

Great overview + rhythm, thanks! Subbed - looking forward to more videos :) 8:39 fyi 400 mega-bits (Mb) per second is 50 mega-bytes (MB) per second ;) (have to wait for the next spec SD cards to write 3200Mbps!)

Whats this background song?

Nice video Sam 👍🏼

Thoughts on CaptureOne over Lightroom for these files?

My girlfriend has a fuji xt-30, it's the only fuji I've played with. I own several high end cameras but my go-to is the a7iii. The video quality between the xt-30 and a7iii is crazy...the fuji blows it out of the water and it's almost (or was at the time of purchase) 1/3rd of the price of the sony. It shoots 200mb 4k whereas the a7iii does 100. But the colors and the depth are far better than the sony. As far as megapixels go, I was under the imprerssion that unless you are blowing your images up to billboard size it doesn't really make a difference. That a 4K image is only 8.5 mexapixels and you'd be shooting a much, much higher quality image than a television can project anyways.

You have beautiful images.

I am very close to getting one myself. Best thing to happen to the original GFX100? Ahh, that would be the newer GFX100S - the original is now criminally cheap second hand, my main camera guy has a mint one for sale with two batteries and charger that has taken only 800 shots. Price? $7200 Australian dollars. Crazy value. So for $8000 in US dollar terms invested you've got a pro system that can dunk all over full frame (again given the niche)..

Could you link the videos shot on it?😊

I love my XT-20, imagine if I had an GFX :o the 50 was ok for me hahaha AMAZING video Sam!

Anyone know the song playing the whole time? Quite a vibey you one

can u shoot with Ef glass??

This is the camera I’ll get once I get to a certain level.

Seattle?

Your kit.com link isn't working fyi.

I'll wait for Markus to give it away...

"Incredible."

Great video.. maybe one day 💭

i keep thinking the mirror is a boom mic

20k??? Wow... that is why you wait a bit before jumping on sth like this. With some crazy Fuji cashbacks I bought the GFX 100s and the 45-100 for less than 5k. I bought it because it was cheaper than buying a similar setup from any of the full frame manufacturers high MP cameras

I want this camera but oh well Ik I will never get but I want it so damm bad

4k 60?maybe 4k 30p
