    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.

    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.

    There's a zero chance of me buying this camera but I watched the whole video because Chris is not just a reviewer, he's a teacher. I now know what a medium format camera is. If this world was fair Chris would have millions of subs. Thank you, man.

    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. 😁

    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 :-)

    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 роки тому +1

    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!

    Love to hear that the camera is a real camera and an A+. I love that you have to know what you are doing . As a Seasoned pro who Learned on film at Uni it sounds like We need to do things right or as they say simply shoot professionally. In the not so distant past I had to get things right on a single exposure with no ibis or eye tracking or exposure simulation display too easy. On a 102mp Med format Who honestly cares about video?

    Own both a 50r and the 100s. I enjoy both but I just love my 50r. The shutter clunk not only reminds me of my film Mamiya 645 but it also scares away other photographers who sway too close. Hahaha!! I use three lenses- 30mm, 45mm and 100-200. I also have an adapter for my old Minolta lenses the best IMO being my Minolta Rokkor 58mm 1.4!!!!

    Ergonomics is as a Fujifilm X-H1, with some minor diferencies... Great video...

      It's perceptibly deeper. Anyway, a comparison to the obsolete X-H1 is moot as long as the much smaller, cheaper and better X-S10 exists.

      @@Vinterloft I've had both, my xs10 has gone back, nice camera but after using my xh1 I just couldn't get used to such a small body, faster AF than my xh1 but ergonomically not in the same league as an xh1 I'm afraid
