This is, without a doubt, one of the best, if not the best, videos I've ever seen about a camera. No annoying, extraneous talking-just straight-forward, clear, concise information. I want to be taught about a camera, not to be entertained. Almost all of my questions and concerns about the camera were discussed and answered to my satisfaction.

I've seen many GFX 100s reviews, but this is the one that actually convinced me to order one for myself. Fujifilm America, let this guy keep the GFX 100s--he's an awesome sales person. Thank you for this informative yet "emotional" review, Chris. Hello from an X-PRO3 shooter who lives in Seoul, Korea.

If you like the 80mm then you need to try the 110mm F2.... even better. ;). I’m a Fashion & Beauty photographer, and also Fujifilm Ambassador over here in the UK, and the GF110mm F2 is my favourite lens of all for my work. Great channel by the way - you do the system justice. 😁

I think the GFX100S is an incredible camera and I even considered buying one for a while, but then I remembered I am an amateur photographer and the XT4 is already too much for my level 😊.

been waiting for months for THIS review! I was also happy to see Hugh Brownstone take a stab! I'm in love with the IQ. What a great video, love you so much. Now I'm going to wait for the new GFX50 and maybe XH-2. While I love this so much (dream photo cam) I want a bit better in video...yes it can record ProRes RAW like my FX3 but clearly, it's line skipped/pixel binned because it's so massive to bring down to only 4K. I'm in love with my FX3. That said I love Fujifilm a lot. Even my X-S10 has made me a believer. They really have some special sauce!!!

Thank you for your wonderful and honest review of the Fujifilm 100s. I dearly want one! Though at over $9000 Australian for the body, and over $2000 for each lens, unfortunately, it's way out of my price range at the moment. I will keep it on my wish list though, and continue to review the lenses that I would need for the types of photographs I take. I'd definitely be getting the 80 mm 1.7 lens when I get one though. So for now, I'll continue to enjoy my Fujifilm XT1 and XT2 and the 10-24mm, 18-55mm, 56mm, and 55-200mm lenses. John C :-)

@borromine 3 жыл бұрын

Great review. I love my 50S, but this camera looks like it replace the Pentax 67 in my heart. I have been missing the Pentax ever since I sold it. I also have long wanted a 617 camera. The 100S is almost as good as the Fuji 617 and 200 times easier and cheaper to use. I like the Fuji X series but ibis in a 100 mb sensor is heaven. Now I have to learn to take decent photographs. That’s the hard part.

@Mowikan 3 жыл бұрын

I tested this camera also and it is a beast. But to be honest this camera is build for photography. It can do video but I wouldn’t be my first choice. For landscape and studio work like portraits and product shoots its great. For architecture it would also be a great cam but then you need a good tilt and shift option like a lens a something from Cambo. You can create billboards with this thing. I really mis the vertical grip for fashion shoots. And the 110mm f2 is the most beautiful portrait lens I ever used! Try to use it if you can sometimes. This camera is the best answer for the ridiculous expensive Hasselblad’s. I ended up with a lumix s1r for my quick studio work because the other gfx100 is to bulky. Great review and thx again!

Han didn’t even give Greedo a chance to shoot. Great video! Also, sensor size is something people forget about when saying camera phones can replace an actual camera. Even a micro 4/3s camera will give significantly more detail than the newest smartphones out there. My XT4 smashes detail out of the water compared to my iPhone 12 Pro. Phone cameras are great for convenience and portability, not for detail, basic camera customization via iso shutter and aperture, and professional work. This is always forgotten when the next new phone comes out.

I have the gfx 100s and assorted prime lenses from Fuji. I was already in the system since 2018, so I traded in my 50s and other stuff to get the 100s. It's a great great camera that I use for my commercial and editorial work. But it is pricey.

@fairstamp 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Chris, I hope you haven't given up any more XT4 videos / reviews. Yeah, the medium format Fuji cameras are nice but with its price, weight / bulkiness and limited features it's not the camera for me and probably not for others too. Thanx for all your videos / reviews.
