From someone who is used to the "hipster retro" look from Fuji, it's understandable that they don't like the design, but for someone like me that is a fan of "retro futurism" this camera looks unbelievable beautiful
Actually this GFX does have similarities to some of the old film cameras as well - the large 'prism' on top totally reminds me of my old Nikon F3HP, whilst the general angular design language is also a throwback to the older Fuji 645 medium format film cameras (which arguably, the GFX is).
Fujifilm and any other camera brand should really watch your reviews and seriously get hiring you to shoot their promotional videos. Your reviews are insanely entertaining and interesting and so refreshing to watch and really shine a light on the quality of a product. Kudos.
You have no idea of the anticipation I have for a new video from you, I'm just hyped. Please do more, I'm sick of Netflix and others boring content, you're the future of great cinematography and an inspiration to our craft.
Honestly not trying to fight you -- i'm genuinely curious, as someone who works in more "traditional" film/tv content -- but why do you think Netflix is boring? Is it that the content is too homogenous? Or that you find short form content on YT to be generally more pleasing to consume?
Aware you didn't ask me, but shall give my two cents anyway. Netflix has released some of the best series of all time, it just feels as though these days there's 15+ garbage shows for every 1 that's actually worth watching - almost making it feel like you're looking for a needle in a hay stack. I also feel as if Netflix is still relying way too heavily upon viewing levels on great shows that are now 3 to 7 years old. Narcos, Prison Break, Breaking Bad, the list goes on. Ultimately I think Netflix still releases shows with insane popularity, just with noticeably fleeting regularity these days. @@_mixedsignals
Plus as you say, there's still a lot of people who will happily sit down and watch films with 120min+ run times, but it seems as if the vast majority of individuals are flocking towards short format content - Tiktok/Instagram etc with 30 second run times. Inevitably attention spans to watch Netflix shows/films will continue to deteriorate. @@_mixedsignals
@@_mixedsignals I'll chime in and say that most modern content is just too cookie cutter and toothless. The reason people love things like short form and reels is because it's real. There's life and a sort of patina to the content. Things like netflix and hulu lack this because everything is just made and meddled with by a board of suits trying to maximize profit and appeal to the widest audience possible to rake in the almighty dollar on a mass scale. It's the same problem that most subjects funnel down to now a days - greed ruins everything. You can't create art if all you're worried about is "how many people will pay to watch this?"
It's just unoriginal stories with random directing and art direction, everything is built as a product to be marketed, and not as a story that's interesting and entertaining. Oh and also woke shit, all, the, fucking, time. I want to watch a good film, no be lectured about gays and black, I'm already not homophobic and not racist so shut the fuck up. There is also no cinematography anymore, no composition, no character, no pace, just a show or a movie that will do well in a trailer for UA-cam to hype people but it's actually empty. Is that enough ?
Finally getting some well deserved recognition, Fujifilm probably saw your review on the older model, and like ... Damn. Keep it up, always love your work 👍🏻
Your video's are the only video's that actually make me put things aside to watch. I truly just turn off the lights, put on the ambient lighting synced with my screen and put it on full screen and enjoy. LOVE IT
man this is so good. Stoked for Fuji and what they continue to do. I'm a big X series shooter and just bought into the GFX line with the 100S. So I'm even more pumped about what is coming out and the future of FujiFilm. Love your videos and how you lay it all out. Such a good watch and refreshing to see. huge fan!
i watch your videos the second i see them come out. idk how else to put it, but your videos transport me somewhere in my memory that i never have access to outside of watching your stuff. Truly enjoyable
GxAce is so forward thinking, intro-ing the product at the past-tense, knowing this video will be a good reference to what is currently a cool camera, and will continue to be a cool camera several years into the future. His talent for photography and video makes an awesome complement.
Dude - this is a brilliant review. I'm EXCITED. I love my 100s but, still, I'm excited about what Fuji has done. But the main reason for my post is that I've so appreciated so many of your reviews and videos. You find gems (cameras and lens) in a pile of old debris and make them shine. All the more, now, with the emergence of this Super Camera, which seems a perfect fit for your unique style of shooting and film. Bravo!
Dude, I love your videos. This style is unmistakable and the mix of Fuji, videos and the pictures is so much fun to watch. This is really inspiring! Thank you for that, please keep it up.
When a thorough passion for cinema and photography is combined with a highly intelligent individual and pushed through a cyberpunk esthetic filter we get these masterpieces. Not only is your work interesting on its own, you show that there is alternative to the boring standard format of photography youtube. Bravo.
I own the little brother (GFX 50II) and it also delivers so good in conjunction with the IBIS that there is no need to buy anything else in the next years. The lenses are so well made and image quality is striking. I love what they do now. I also hope the next X cameras will follow this new path.
Bro !!! I keep re-visiting this video every few days. From your cinematography to what seems like original sound, it's a treat for the eyes, ears and senses. A buffet of goodness. Like a mini movie...told from the perspective of an appreciator of fine camera tech and unique color grading. But you can't stop there. Your set choices...I mean how do you find these awesome little nuances of irregular goodness. More juice?...Yes please!
Incredible! I'm honestly surprised but extremely pleased to know that Fujifilm sent a camera to you for a first impressions video. And not any camera, just the brand new GFX100 ii. I can't think of anyone more deserving because you really changed and added a unique perspective to photography in UA-cam. I used to be very interested in cameras but, due to different reasons, I don't watch photo content that often. However, I still enjoy well done, original pieces like the ones you make. And, mate, you've done it again. You skip technicalities and unnecessary tests and go directly to the experience of using a camera, all told creatively. I mean, I'm not that interested in sci-fi and here I am, excited and feeling part of a futuristic short film. Just amazing! That, I think, it's the best ad for photography that anyone could make. Keep doing your great work. EDIT: grammar
I am really happy you were able to get your hands on the camera and create this beautiful review for us. I have to agree with you on the design it looks amazing
Your videos are....just on another level! Such an inspiration, I really like your style and is actually something that I'm trying to achieve myself. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and keep up the good work and posts, I see a lot of people are really happy to see a new upload from you, as am I!
If they built an actual cinema camera with their sensors and color science, I feel like it would explode in popularity. The image out of Fujifilm cameras is genuinely incredible & their cinema lenses are awesome too.
@@romank90 The problem with compressed RAW internal is that RED still holds patents for it. The only true compressed RAW you can get currently is ProRes RAW with the Ninja V and whatever cameras that still shoot cDNG, which are massive files. There's also Canon RAW found on their cine cameras. There's not a lot of good budget options. I had to end up buying Assimilate Play Pro to convert my Prores RAW files to cDNG for Davinci Resolve. RED is such a pain in this industry
I am always fascinated by watching your videos and not only their quality of performance amazes me, but also your fantastic photographs that you take with your cameras.Such photos tell me much more about what this camera can do than any ordinary video. Thank you for your work and creativity!
GFX 100 is a bit beyond my budget, but I was lucky enough to get hold of a secondhand 50R at a very low price. I have been using the Fujifilm digital cameras for over 20 years, and have been using the X-mount cameras for 10 years. Always love the "Fujifilm colours", but this time the GFX really took my photography experience to a new level. Amazing dynamic range. And with a larger sensor all these good lenses I have collected over the last few decades finally get to show their characteristics. Glad to see this channel finally talk about the amazing GFX camera system.
So my dad and grandpa were photographers. Though I only dabble here and there, watching your videos really is inspiring. Your aesthetics in videos combined with showcasing the product is top notch! Thank you for these :)
Hats off-this video is truly exceptional. The storytelling and cinematography are nothing short of extraordinary. Furthermore, your photography skills are truly commendable. As an ardent enthusiast of Japan (having spent a delightful five weeks there this April), I find myself even more enamored with your videos. In my studio, I rely on the GFX 50s, which has proven to be an unwavering workhorse. Its 50MP capabilities have been more than sufficient for my headshot photography business. However, I often find myself eagerly searching for justifications and opportunities to buy the GFX100 II. And you did not help with this video go ignore the voices in my head, who are yelling "buy it, buy it, buy it"... 😂
This is the first video I went to after watching X-Summit. Glad to see I'm not the only one excited by the possibilities of this camera. Honestly, because money getting in the way of my creativity has always been a struggle, this camera feels unobtainable right now. Though there's always tomorrow. Maybe if I keep fighting the good fight, some day I'll be in a place professionally that I'll be able to use such a tool.
Could do what I did with the gfx50 and just wait for the next model to come out to tank the price by a few thousand....granted I still ended up buying the 50SII anyway lol but that's due to poor impulse control
Don't let money limit your creativity. Find a way to get the result you want no matter the tool. I still use an old ass 5D original when I could have much better.
BeautifuI camera and great Video as always gxace! For me this will be relevant around 2049 because of the price.. 8000€ is crazy even if the tech is mindblowing.. I'm still shooting on a Sony A7 Mark 1 exclusively with old glass and don't think I'm going to switch soon. I mean I could buy like 25 used Sony A7 for the price of the Fujifilm 😂
Hands down, the best video editing on UA-cam! I am strictly a photo guy, but your videos make me wish I could shoot and edit videos. Great stuff. I too wish this design language would come over to the X-mount system i.e. APS-C line.
Fuji historically made some of the best ever cameras like the GX680. They had a dull period when digital took over and it’s great to see them back at the top again.
Amazing photography and cinematography! Thank you for sharing, the new GFX looks amazing and I agree, they should make an XPro “range finder” style again.
Looks like a powerhouse of opportunity. I agree it is going to be a great tool for cinematographers moving forward. It would be very interesting to see people starting using this for more serious street photography. Although it would be an overkill. Your results are stunning of course. Great video!
It is NEVER overkill, unlike every other brand Fujifilm cameras were meant to be used instead of sitting on a shelf or in a foam case only to come out every once in a while for a gig
Medium format was pretty standard back in the film days. Plus it gives you excellent bokeh versus smaller sensors. It would be awesome if they made a waist-level finder for it.
@@k-ozdragon yeah, this sensor isn't quite true film medium format, being smaller than even 6x4.5, a shame the digital era made medium format so much more expensive than it already was
@@CianMcsweeney Isn't it smaller because the resolution is higher with digital though? Would be nice if it was a true medium format. I dint realize it was that much smaller.
I thought about upgrading to this camera while watching the video ... until I saw its price tag. It costs more than combined total of all of my family's cars. I think I'll keep my $200 EOS-M for now, but that fuji camera looks incredible.
The best money can buy isn't going to come cheap! I've got an RP and 40mm 2.8 is my favorite despite having used the sigma arts and other such stuff. There are older gfx second hand maybe for under 2k, but then add a lens to that..
As someone coming from photography (a7ii) and moving into cinematography (fx30) I find myself constantly surprised with the color and quality of Fuji… so much so that it has me considering making a shift from Sony to Fuji.
Do it, Sony is a joke by comparison and just like Nikon created it's market share through massive amounts of money dumped into marketing instead of actually making better quality products justifying their prices. That and the GFX system is so good it can basically use any lens in existence
"Color science" doesn't matter with raw files. It only influences JPEGs and other pre-processed formats that basically let the camera do the editing. @@victorkreig6089
Great presentation, this is what a real movie should look like. Btw Fuji took great photos no doubt, I used and like the Xtrans sensor, and this one even more impressive, it is squarely designed to be used by a robot, great job Fuji done it again !
This is an epic video review/overview, nicely done. Can't believe they added an UNCALIBRATED waveform meter or at least it looks like it from your video? Waveform monitor addition is good but an uncalibrated scale waveform monitor is highly annoying.
The world of the early 20s was not ready for the majestic GFX 100 ii. Thankfully, one man came forward to carry the mantle and withstand the burdens of perfection. That man, is GxAce.
Someone's been to Iceland... Totally agree on the design trickling down the Fuji family except I'd like more curves than straight edges (think R3), purely for practical reasons (dust and water), which is down to what I shoot (heavily weighted to wildlife) and where I shoot (northern UK where it rains a lot).
I ran into your mom today and she told me about your UA-cam. I had to check you out! Good work man! Btw this is your old neighbor Tyler bach. I’m gonna subscribe!
Just want to give a heartfelt thanks. Your content inspired me to finally get around to posting on UA-cam after years of self doubt. I’m sure you will see my work has been heavily influenced by your style 😅
It could be the review of a toaster… still I would watch it till the end because daaaamn your style of narration is so hot man! Bravo! I’m always a fan
You make easily the coolest looking product videos I've seen on UA-cam. Incredible cinematography and your photography game is so strong to boot.
REFUCKINGTWEET this dude is top 5
so you are the person that likes to watch advertising, oh god
From someone who is used to the "hipster retro" look from Fuji, it's understandable that they don't like the design, but for someone like me that is a fan of "retro futurism" this camera looks unbelievable beautiful
I love both designs personally, way prefer the look of the leatherette on this than other Fuji cameras, looks far more refined
Actually this GFX does have similarities to some of the old film cameras as well - the large 'prism' on top totally reminds me of my old Nikon F3HP, whilst the general angular design language is also a throwback to the older Fuji 645 medium format film cameras (which arguably, the GFX is).
Bro could legit have an astonishing career as a unit stills photographer. It’s been years and I’m still floored by your production quality.

You should be the main advertising talent of every tech brand! THIS IS ART!
I love all of these. The 2:1 aspect ratio is gorgeous
Can we agree that this was one of his best videos yet?! Like holy cow was this brilliant

Another beautiful work of art. There are many tech reviewers here on UA-cam, but few artists.
Love to see these retro reviews of old tech and how actually advanced people were more than a century ago. Who could even operate such a device?
Yeah man I can't imagine holding a camera now that my retinas can scan 1000 mpx images at 1/100,000th of a second
I am amazed that such high quality content still exists on youtube. A real blessing, a welcome experience and very inspiring.

Amazing video, as always! 😉 it was nice meeting you in Stockholm
Ah yes, a new camera movie review directed and produced by GXAce.
You are by far the best camera channel the way you do your videos are one of a kind

@@victorkreig6089 yeah it seems like a really interesting platform brining a lot to the table
@Broskisnowski not as asinine as you thinking color science is that easy lmao
"Color science" doesn't matter with raw files. It only influences JPEGs and other pre-processed formats that basically let the camera do the editing. @@victorkreig6089
Uhm. You're aware that the Z9 and Z8 are some of the best cameras available? @@victorkreig6089
Great presentation, this is what a real movie should look like. Btw Fuji took great photos no doubt, I used and like the Xtrans sensor, and this one even more impressive, it is squarely designed to be used by a robot, great job Fuji done it again !
This is an epic video review/overview, nicely done. Can't believe they added an UNCALIBRATED waveform meter or at least it looks like it from your video? Waveform monitor addition is good but an uncalibrated scale waveform monitor is highly annoying.
Love your creativity and dedication to excellence that shines through so clearly. Beautiful, thematic photography and cinematography.
This is a pure DIAMOND ! ! ! Ab-so-lu-tely gorgeous video, and so inspiring photographies. Thank You for soo much fo sharing this !
Always love seeing your Chicago shots. Best city on Earth.
Your videos bring a smile to my face each time.
You are making by far the best videos of this kind on UA-cam!
ps: didnt know you were german ^^ Viele Grüße aus Berlin^^
Your content is just mindblowing! Love how you put this together, the quality and effort is amazing 👏
Another masterpiece documentary for an outstanding camera!
The world of the early 20s was not ready for the majestic GFX 100 ii. Thankfully, one man came forward to carry the mantle and withstand the burdens of perfection. That man, is GxAce.
Someone's been to Iceland... Totally agree on the design trickling down the Fuji family except I'd like more curves than straight edges (think R3), purely for practical reasons (dust and water), which is down to what I shoot (heavily weighted to wildlife) and where I shoot (northern UK where it rains a lot).
Now THAT'S an intro. After 30 seconds of watching you I subscribed, gotta be a record
The best video on UA-cam I've see so far.
I just found my favorite UA-cam channel. HOLY SHIT the editing! Good job on this!
One of the best channel I feel lucky to have found. Inspires me more.
I ran into your mom today and she told me about your UA-cam. I had to check you out! Good work man! Btw this is your old neighbor Tyler bach. I’m gonna subscribe!
I haven't even watched yet - I just want to comment how amped I am that you dropped another video!!! And it's about a Fuji!!!
Lovely video! Do you have thoughts on the 100S II? Would you still recommend the 100 II over the 100S II?
Just when you think Gxace produced his best work he drops another banger and outdoes himself
Incredible man, lovely still shots and cinematography as well
Eyepiece idea = YESSSSSSS. Great work as always.
Just want to give a heartfelt thanks. Your content inspired me to finally get around to posting on UA-cam after years of self doubt.
I’m sure you will see my work has been heavily influenced by your style 😅
It could be the review of a toaster… still I would watch it till the end because daaaamn your style of narration is so hot man! Bravo! I’m always a fan
Incredible video as always. I NEED that font from the thumbnail!
