This is the most comprehensive and informative review I’ve seen in ages, and it was entertaining. Thank you.
Thank you for this great review. My GFX 100 is already ordered and should arrive in 14 days. Servus from Austria.
I use both the GFX 100 and the 50R. The both have come with me in my landscape escapades and did well in all kind of conditions. Color rendition richness of data and overall output drives me to us them both
Excellent review and your professionalism was much appreciated. As an owner of this system, I would also like to mention that it is excellent when working with various lenses from other manufacturers. Attach a Zeiss Otus lens, crop to a 1x1 ratio and you will truly feel like the Buddha you captured.
I have spent well over 12 years searching UA-cam for information on photo gear. I am blown away by the amount of garbage UA-cam throws at me when a video like yours should be at the top of my searches. Have no idea what algorithm they are using to promote content, but they need to fix it. You did a wonderful job, thank you.
Some of your Acros photos show an eye for street photography. Love to see it!
I’m completely sold on the GFX system but torn between the 100 and the 100s. Certainly going with the GFX system and about 5 of their lenses.
Thank you for your excellent review. I appreciate your style of presentation.
I just purchased and chose the GFX 100 (not the 100S). The EVF Tilt Shift Adapter (which isn't available on the 100S) was the final deciding factor.
I invested in the Hasselblad H series and am still impressed with the image quality it delivers. For now I have five lenses (28mm, 50mm, 80mm, 120mm Macro and 210mm), a H2 body with the film back and a H3DII-31 digital body. Together with my Rolleicord Model I Art Deco these are my medium format options I will be able to keep for decades.
Wonderful review! I think you nailed it from the enthusiast point of view. I have the GFX 50R and the lenses that I wanted. Looking forward to the eventual 100R!
I like your calm style in delivering information. The review is thorough and made me understand the value of medium format. Although I wouldn’t have this system based on the cost; but if I had the means it would now be considered
This was a first-rate review. I was considering this unit along with an X-series Hassey, and this review nailed it for me on which to choose. I love street and nature, and this just seems like a better all-around camera for me. Thanks so much.
One of the best reviews I’ve seen on the GFX 100 including the best one I believe I’ve seen from you.
I truly appreciate your reviews! I *also* appreciate your sticking to the subject and *not* getting political. I've had to unsub from so many channels due to this. After all, we're all here about photography. Put another way: Does one go to a hardware store for bread?
I greatly admire this camera, and I thought it was the greatest photography product accomplishment of 2019. It is not really for me for my everyday or even client work use, but its mystique and lustre never diminish for me. It is completely icing on the cake that Fuji is *still* adding features to this camera. Canon could definitely learn something there for their DSLR users. As for me, my current satisfaction in high resolution imagery comes from my Canon 5DS, which is just enough megapixels for me for the present.
The problem with canons is dynamic range. I almost got the 5Ds too, but because I’m interested in high contrast photos and direct sun, I totally dismissed that purchase.
Yes you could bracket, use filters, etc... But when you saw the example in this video and how she captured that beautiful sunset in a single shot and the amazing result she got, that’s just magic...
Also these cameras are getting pretty old now as tech takes leaps lately... I have the 5D Classic and shutter shake is insane. I can’t go below 1/80 of a second for crisp images.
I have taken lots of shots with GFX 100 with 32-64 mm and the image output is ultimate. The details are incredible and most importantly the post processing is not troublesome as the quality is too good. However if layers are added then we are talking about good computers to process. If Focus stack is used then one needs to be careful in taking just the right amount of shots. Exposure blending or texture blending might also require good computing power. Before buying the camera please ensure the kind of images that you would want to use it fr.. Just my thoughts...
Thank you for taking the time to review this camera in such a thorough way.
I own the Fuji XT-3 and the Mamiya 645 afd ii so yes I would love to own the Fuji GFX 100 but it is seriously expensive.
This camera is an absolute beast, and a work of art.
In terms of alternatives to purchasing a MF or FF body, if image quality and detail are your thing, to consider the Sigma DP Quattro series of cameras. The image quality is often compared to MF and FF sensor cameras, and although they won't be as detailed as a GFX100 or maybe even a GFX50, they are still a decent option especially when it comes to the price. There are very much limited when it comes to features, but from what I have experienced using one, they are definitely worth having a look at.
Did you not have banding issues in the shadows from bringing them up? I went with the 50S from seeing the banding issue from the pdaf.
I have the GFX 50R that I use for my Forgotten Pieces of Georgia book series, but would LOVE to have the GFX 100
If anyones cares, the RRS L grip transforms this camera, you get a decent grip on the base and it clicks on a tripod in an instant, worth every penny.
Nice video. I own the GFX100 (and the GFX 50R before that). The 100 is all about image quality with is amazing details resolving capabilities and color reproduction.
I got my GFX100 because it has some features you won't find in other medium-format cameras:
1. IBIS!!!!!!!!!!!
2. AF speed with eye-detect
So, for my needs, it is a great investment.
You can't compare it to other fast-paced photo-producing cameras, rather a fine-art/portraits/landscape/products with the ability to hand-hold outdoors.
Plus, don't forget to upgrade your computer for the 100MB single RAW file ;)
if the size is too big, how about the GFX 100S? It's lighter and cheaper as well. Maybe the loss of a second battery and hi-fi EVF might be a downside. but the image sensor and stabilization etc else are all same.
Absolutely first class review; thoroughly impressive. I learned everything I could have hoped for and more. I used the old Mamiya 7 by 6 film cameras, many years ago, and I have always always since wanted a medium format video sensor.
Thank you for the content!
Great review and if I ever win the lottery I would consider a purchase, since I enjoyed medium format film photography so much. Do appreciate your candor and work you put in to the review. Looking forward to more medium format reviews.
thank you for the review. What are your thoughts on the video production side?
Today I learned there's 100px cameras. The Z7 still is the one I want but I have to say this camera is amazing
The Z cameras are universalists, medium format bodies are specialists.
I have a large DSLR gear amount. I would buy a GFX 100 used with 3 lenses for landscape .... only for some special location on side from DSLR ... love your review ... thank you for your time...
The only thing that hold me back to get this camera, as a portrait - fashion shooter, is my vallet. Especially in these times.
For me, this camera is a dream that maybe come true one day.
Untill this day, I use my D850 which isn't the worst choice I think.
BTW an excellent review. :-)
Something to bear in mind, that I learnt from Tony Northrup: if two different format cameras take identical photos (same distance to subject, DoF, and shutter speeds), and if the sensor tech is about the same, and if the images are viewed at the same size, and finally, the larger resolution image is downres'd to that of the smaller - the image quality, in terms of noise, will be about the same. Yes - the MF camera will be able to take photos that, say, a FF cannot, but at the same time, in many situations, the two formats will in fact produce very similar results. This result arises due to the fact that to match DoF between two different formats, the total light *energy* incident on each sensor will be identical. The larger sensor will experience less light *intensity*, and will need to have a higher ISO than the smaller format - it's that higher ISO that then increases it's noise, bringing it back down to that of the smaller sensor. (again - assuming sensor tech is the same, which may NOT be the case).
But MF results are still better
I've been tempted by this camera for a year now, but Fuji needs longer(wildlife) and wider(real estate) glass before I can justify it for myself.
My medium format option is the Fujica GW690. Great review, as always.
Your videos are always enjoyable. ..
I am owning GFX 100 since it was available , you should mention the lack of lenses, there are no ultra wide lenses (23mm f4 isn’t that wide) so I found that Sigma 14-24 adopted works well but is hassle to use with adapter.. and huge filters it becomes all way too big and heavy, also on the tele end there is 100-200 which is not great lens (new Canon 70-200 f4 II is sharper lens when adopted but it doesn’t cover the all sensor).
This are things to consider..
I am thinking to add Canon r5 when I want to carry less weight with me.
Snapchick is about to become a Medium Format Queen.
It's absolutely for me!
While I agree the GFX 100 price tag is out of reach for most of us the GFX 50 R? Now that's something to consider.
Thanks for the thoughtful review. As a landscape photographer, I'm seriously considering getting the QFX 100. I've heard, though, that there is some PDAF banding in the shadows that doesn't allow you from opening them up as far, hence reducing the effective dynamic range. What did you find?
As much as I like Nikon and their control layout, I’m planning to buy a Fuji XT4. I love the retro look and feel. I love the control knobs...hate when companies burry command in the menu.
I had the Fuji and went back to Nikon the Nikon ergo is just much better thought out.
Geez, that's a big camera but very nice. Thank you for the videos. You make photography that much more of an enjoyable hobby ;)
Great review- thanks. I'd love to hear you compare the GFX 100 or GFX 50 with the Hasselblad X1d II 50c and the Hasselblad 907x. At the end they are the competition in the medium format entry level area. The sensors in the Hasselblads are "only" 50 MP but my assumption is, that they are much easier to use in sense of user interface, weight and size. Besides this: I'd look at a 907x in 20 years and still find it a piece of art while I definitely would not say so to the other cameras, including the X1d II. From your review on the 907x the implied impression is, that you really like it - correct?
well ultimate image quality will never be outdate or surpassed by a new "more feature advanced" camera. that's what a lot of people don't seem to get.
ok Snappy 😊 , can you honestly say after shooting the big cat , if you didnt edit your images , larger sensors and formats in general are better than apsc/ crop sensors ,(might sound obviously silly to you) there are people in denial out there wont admit the bigger the sensor with higher pixel count give a broader dynamic range as well as better controll of depth of field , and resolution . i know you have covered these on the video . but in b&w is that a big yes ?
A great and in depth review. I would love this just for the detail. I just LOVE macro shots. If only my pocket book would allow this in my life. :D
Thank you!
Great review and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the new Hasselblad which I am interested in using on my 503CW.
Chunky bigboi! But I used to use a Fuji GS645 as my main walking around camera, so I'm not criticising! :D
What I’d like to see is that 102MP sensor in the Fuji (manufactured by Sony I believe) with similarly powerful processing pipeline used in the far more compact body of the Hassy 907X you’ve also got in for review. Now that would be a combo! And not out of the realm of (near future) possibility either, I reckon.
We always want more, don’t we? :)
Hello and thank you first for your informative, professionell and charming videos. If you should make a video about the Fuji GFX 100s, then please talk about / explain to us, where the 5000 Euro (for me in germany) difference (in comparison to that cam here) is coming from. I don't get it ... the 100s is such an appealing cam, so what raison d'être is left for the GFX 100? Greetings!
Great review. Funny, I debated between this camera and the Leica SL-2. As a M-shooter, the SL-2 is great in its own right, has some MF characteristics, but as I was already invest in the L-lenses , couldn’t make the jump. As well, even as beefy as the SL-2 is, the GFX100 was just another level of bulk. Now, if the GFX50R update is a stabilized 100MP sensor in smaller form factor . . . Hmmm.
Very nice review! I use a GFX 50r. Great system, great lenses. Someday I hope to upgrade to 100 Mp.
I have GFX100 since it has released and I am in love with my camera. It is the best IQ camera in the world. You should use Capture 1 for better results on GFX100 camera!
What cameras are you comparing it to?
@@sctm81 I am comparing to anything you want ;)
@@GKhanKutar how does it compare to the D850 at base ISO?
@@sctm81 even my GFX50S was better than D850. GFX100 is killer
@@GKhanKutar so the GFX50s vs D850. Similar in terms of resolution. Is it mainly increased dynamic range at base ISO?
Hello !
Nice review that gives the will to go for a 100S... but there is something I can’t figure out. If we consider pixels density, this 102Mp has more pixels per square mm than the Lumix S1R. But the S1R is very bad at high ISO like 10.000´or more. How do you explain that?
Sensor tech. The Fuji is a Sony back side illuminated sensor.
Don't tempt me. Thanks for your insights. I'm sill enjoying my a7r and a6000 but LOVE big image files. It would be interesting to have a stacked image and really push image quality.
That's what she said
I was wondering what you think about using the 120 for landscape/nature.
In the digital world the best “bang for your buck” is actually in the lesser cameras. As you move up the specs charts the cost begins to blow out dramatically. If you are in high end professional ( getting big bucks for your images) then this camera would be fantastic. But for most people the 24 MP cameras seem to be the best all round deal at the moment. For instance, you seem to be able to get some pretty good specials on Nikon cameras at the moment if you shop around a bit or wait for specials to turn up at electronic stores. APS-C and FF lenses are cheaper too.
Entry-level interchangeable lens cameras are great! But your choice all depends on your preferences, your goal and your budget. Sometimes passion supersedes “bang for your buck.” :)
@@LeighAndRaymond I couldn't agree more. Desire has always been a big factor for me in my purchasing decisions (what economists call marginal utility), which is why I bought a Leica M10-P. On paper, the camera makes no sense at all. It is expensive, and doesn't really take any better photos than my Z6 (I can use my Leica lenses on the Z6 and Z7). For me, it was about the simplicity and experience of using a rangefinder and, lets be honest, the satisfaction of owning a Leica. For the same reason, people buy expensive watches. Photography is about the whole experience, not just the final image.
Thank you for this review of what looks like an amazing camera. I trust your judgement, and the fact that you can point out the downsides of a camera without shouting "fail" and other clickbait tactics so used by other reviewers. Sadly, this camera is not for me, it is too heavy as I am not young any more. I still enjoyed hearing about it, though.
Awesome camera and great review. But as a hobbyist photographer; I simply can’t afford one.
I’m in the same boat. And I really would like to treat myself to a good camera. So it got me thinking of ways to monetize it to justify its cost... Maybe with a few professional photo shoots it could pay itself...?
I’m not talking about this camera by the way. 10k just the body is way out of my league... Even renting this one will take a good chunk of your money.
We like to zoom in and out, this fujifilm camera is a great tool, have to wait 5 years to buy? Today Sony has a 61 Meg camera for $3600.
Enjoy your video but I know what you mean when you say there’s a difference with Fuji other camera. I just recently got a GFX 50 R and the menu is very similar to my X-Pro2 and X-H1 but there are some difference and I see I got to put in some time with my GFX Camera.
Before I join! Where can I find your video that you highlight the Sony GM 12-26?
I do large prints. Street photographer, can I use gfx100 for street photography????
Yes
You can roughly park inside 3 sensors on that medium format surface : a ff ,a crop and a m4/3 .LOL
Gfx100r is going to be 🔥
Distraction?
yeah lovely lively camera .. i wanted this beast .. but sadly water sealing is pretty bad . like on a stripdown it was the worst in test ... shame im a sucker for detail .. its all about cameras and lenses but sometimes its the littlethings .. ballheads straps ..
The body’s weatherproof
Using a sony a7riii, i think sometimes i will rent this camera......great review..BM
Thanks!
This is for me. If I had the money.
This vs the GFX50 ?
Not for me. I have tested the 100S and the body is so fragile and cheap for the price. I have set the camera on a tripod and the base plate was bendig because of the lens weight. For me this is a deal breaker has a landscape photograph.
i have a d610, do i really need that camera? nice review :)
I have a 610 and im not upgrading till i have to.
If you don’t need ultimate resolving power, color depth and image quality you probably don’t need it.
Yes.
x-t3 and x-t4 is way more sensible for video
Please, please, don’t make me want this behemoth. Oh, never mind, too late.
No big prints. That is where medium format rules.
Bravo.! A pithy review of this game-changer which is not exclusively focused upon its resolution. As you point out at about 17 minutes, colour depth, quality and high DR are just as important 'state of the art' gains from this sensor. If you can output and process the 16 bit files the colour rendition is streaks ahead of, say, SL2. As per your discussion of the statue, having moved from a 50S which I used for 3 years there is no doubt that on this sensor the same lenses see details that not only the eye does not see but which the 50 sensor didn't pick up either. For better or worse, its akin to taking photos with a microscope. The buttons and dials on the camera just suck. So bad. Such a shame. Too small, too flimsy and too fiddly. As you show, there are acres of space. Why not give us the chunky solid dials and joystick of a Leica S or SL camera ? Instead, we get the joystick from the XT component tray in the production line. I adore this camera. It seems to make its own light and there is always excitement. I do not regret my car loan each month to buy it. I applaud Fuji for combining the sweetest shutter with Innovative IBIS to liberate the camera from tripod use but the buttons and dials should really have shifted up in calibre to suit.
With all the landscape photos, and being by the national parks, why wouldn’t you keep the camera for this? No one wants 100mp portrait….just saying
Big cam
