Big sensors need big mountains and we NEED you to keep making videos for a good 5 years! Jaw dropping scenes, dude!! This one video contains better photos than some people’s entire portfolio.
Holy smokes mate, the colour grade on your video and stills is incredible. You really know how to pull the best colours out of that fuji system. Epic stills, insanely beautiful footage. Slow clap
Your review was so cool and human. You are such a warm person with sound conversational skills. I stumbled on your channel for photography but liked your personality even more! Keep up the good work and load up the timeless memories!
3 things I want to leave a comment on (😀): 1 - Dylan, the style of these videos (the way you shoot them and then edit them with a musical accompaniment) is so meditative for me. I said it before and I keep wanting to say it after watching yet another video, the sheer beauty your eye catches and translates into these images is simply satisfying, and inspiring. It often feels like a dose of a beauty booster. Thank you for putting it all out and learning to tackle this darn YT. 2-My favorite moment of the video this time is around 12:25, with the tension/action music on the background of the moody blue mountains. :D I stored this in my memory (actually, I should put it in my Notion for future reference) for when I want to shoot a music video for one of my songs. It's very inspiring. 3 - my second fav moment is 2 kissing crows on the tree (~13:22). Aren't they the cutest?
Oh my gosh you are so kind. 🥹 1 - I don’t even know what to say. This totally makes my day and is so great to hear! It is easy to be discouraged by the amount of work and time it takes to put something like this together. 2 - Ahhh I loved that location so much that I had to switch up the pacing a bit there, I’m glad you liked how it transitioned into that part! 3 - OK RIGHT?!
@@DylanSpitz "It is easy to be discouraged by the amount of work and time it takes to put something like this together" - absolutely can relate! That's why I feel so strongly about supporting us fellow creators, I know how much of creative juice even the smallest amount of pleasant words provide to go forward.🖤
I've been using GFX 100s II now in Australia for 4 months.. I did upgrade it to the 100s II from the 50s II .... both are just absolutely phenomenal cameras and I honestly could not go back to full frame even though I do have a crop sensor camera which is a Fujifilm XT5. I just fell in love with the Fujifilm colours and one of the challenges as you know is that Fuji don't make a full frame camera if they did make a full frame camera I would probably consider buying one but they don't. So once you get beyond the capabilities with dynamic range of the XT5 and the low light performance you've got no other choice but to go GFX and that is one of the reasons why Fuji do have crop and then GFX if they want people to go from one system to another it's very clever actually if you think about it. That said the 100s ii it's just an absolutely divine camera. I've shot sports with it as well and I've shot portraits. I've shot landscapes products you name it. It can do everything and it does everything really well. It's actually a really good all-round camera. It is slightly tricky to use but my goodness the files that come out of that thing our second to none. I had to laugh because I took a similar photo of a horse recently and just the level of detail the horse was near a fence very similar to your shot and I can totally relate to that and until you've sat in front of a computer and seen the files of a GFX camera people won't understand
super relaxing watch with some fried rice after a tough day. would love to see a review on the small end with the XM5 coming out soon:) keep up the good work brother!!
Fellow Washingtonian here. Absolutely love your style. So glad that I found this channel. btw, can you name the glacier towards the end of the video where you talk about weather sealing.
I use this camera regularly along with the x2d. I’m fortunate I know. I have to say your photography is superb. A great eye for framing and composition. 👌🏻🍻
These were incredible photos and I love that this focused on actually using the camera and not the specs! Hopefully we'll see some in a book at some point? 👀
Great video! And review. I also feel the 100S II is a great step forward in most every area from the original 100S, but also know that it still falls a bit short of the 100 II -- not necessarily in IQ, but in the little things that make the 100 II even more of a joy to use. I appreciate your honest, use-based opinions. On another totally different note, what's the blinking-lights-box of wonder over your left shoulder behind you in the A-cam footage? Electro-synth?
Thank you for the kind words! Very glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah, I'd be very curious to try the 100 II... Oh and yes that's my modular synthesizer! Music production was my first love, that thing is my baby haha.
@@DylanSpitz Sweet synth! Makes for an engaging background . . . who needs boring "practicals" when you have mod-synth. :-D Not that you would need to go out of your way to rent/use the 100 II, but I use it weekly for professional client shoots - and keep the 100S II as a backup - and I'll tell you that the 100 II SHINES when it comes to a deeper handgrip (ergo's), using the optional vertical grip for less-fatiguing vertical shooting (and WAY more battery life), slightly snappier AF, and CF-B flexibility (sooooo happy to leave slow and fragile SD cards behind) . . . those things don't add up to $2500 more IQ, but they certainly make up that cost difference in a (IMO) better overall shooting experience if you're behind the camera a lot. Keep up the great work! And I'll be passing thru the PNW soon on a shooting tour . . . I'll bring you some good Midwest beer. ;-)
I have had a GFX 50S for less than a year at this point and it’s been great. I have 0 GFX lens. All my photos were shot with Pentax 646, Mamiya 645, a few Nikon F lenses on manual, automatic adapters and Mamiya 645 focal reducer. Recently, I got a technical camera with Mamiya RB67 lens board on front and GFX mount on rear, I’m experimenting more with this setup in the future. My experience with M645 55/2.8, 80/1.9 and 110/2.8 has been great as well. I wish you get the chance to try these more.
Appreciate that! Glad you like the music, I started that track like a year ago and had to go back and finish it. Felt right for this video, haha. I am grading it based off of feeling, really. Most of the time that ends up being somewhat close to the images, because it's just my taste guiding my decisions, but I'm just grading it by hand in resolve.
Love your videos, the music, the visuals and the images (perfect balance by the way) it’s a relaxing, enjoyable escape if that makes sense. Curious, how long does it take to make a video like this? (editing once you are back with all the footage and images)
Means a lot to hear feedback like that, thank you so much. To answer your question: this one took around 50 hours of work from getting back with the assets to video release.
ive been shooting with this camera and the 80mm for a few months and love it. i was coming from a nikon d5500 so any of these capabilities with AF seems like sci-fi to me. after changing a few of the settings af-c seems to be working well for me for relatively quick shots, there are some misses occasionally but it seems to pick up focus points very well. it definitely performs better in situations where you can control the action and flow, but with a bit of practice and some tweaks in the settings it seems to work acceptable for random quick shots. im curious what adapter you used, im considering trying the fringer to adapt my nikon glass, i cant find many well done unbiased reviews with the 100s II and nikon.
I just used a simple adapter from fotodiox - the lens I adapted was full manual so it didn't require any electronics. Infinity focus seemed spot on and I didn't have any issues with it, so I'd feel safe recommending it.
They are definitely similar as far as the overall palette and the film sims if you’re into that. The fine gradations between colors and such is where you really get the wow factor of the 16-bit files.
Wow, you tooked amazing photos with this great cam, i‘m very impressed. As a Sony Photographer i‘m planning to buy the GFX100SII with the GF 32-64mm lens. I will see, its pretty a lot of Money, bit….
Great real life review and stunning work across the board. Curious if you've considered swapping to Capture One for editing Fuji-specific files, given the worming issues with Lightroom (especially at this size & sharpness)?
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the kind words. I have not. I have heard some people talk about this and such, but I've never experienced it myself, even when zooming in to 100% on these massive files they were perfectly clean.
@@DanielBerberi you're welcome! And yeah it does occasionally still occur with X Trans sensors in Lightroom but it's gotten a whole lot better over time. Still a bummer it's something we have to watch out for.
Thank you! Just single point in the smallest box size for landscapes or still scenes - for anything in motion I like the wide/tracking setting and picking the subject type via the q menu
I don’t really know what to think about the gfx line. I’ve never owned one but downloaded some raw files from dpreview to play around. The images are outright gorgeous and make me really want to ditch my Canon mirrorless and get a used gfx 100s. I love the thought of capturing images that I can print large without much upscaling (which I do a lot with my R6 II). I guess I would have to live with the inconveniences to get that 🤷♂️ Do you have any experience with the gfx 50s II? 50 megapixels seem much more manageable and I guess the look won’t be much different. Autofocus seems even worse but ok for non moving subjects. Cheers! I really like your photography style ✌️
First off, thanks for the kind words! I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video. The GFX system definitely has a look that I adore, personally. It's half way to magical, lol. I have not tried the 50S or II, personally. The print topic is a good point, I am itching to see one of the shots I took with it from the glacier nice and big on a fine art paper. I've come to the conclusion that every system just has trade offs, ya know? As much as I want there to be a perfect camera, sadly I just don't think it will ever exist...which honestly is probably a good thing and keeps life a bit more interesting, haha.
Everything in life has trade-offs. The key to printing large is viewing distance. Your Canon will provide great large prints, even if it’s 16 MP, you just need to view them at the right distance.
I did not. If I remember right, I don't think there was a setting for that like in some other cameras (i.e. sony) - if it was raw, it was just raw full size. I did choose lossless compressed instead of uncompressed on the file output though.
Guys! Why you ever need af-on button when you could half press shutter button? I have more than 15 years of photography experience and this question still with me 😅
Decoupling the focus from timing is a game changer! That and focusing then recomposing without awkwardly keeping half pressure for me is just more comfortable and makes more sense. I disable the shutter af feature the minute I get any camera haha. If I’m touching the shutter it’s because I need it to fire! (I know not everyone does this but I couldn’t function without it)
@@DylanSpitzmaybe I need to try it, thanks for reply. I was event and nightlife photographer back in 2008 and it was a lot of shutters, many hundreds thousands, but nowadays I just shoot for myself and maybe this solution is that what I will found out would be good for me :)
Might be worth a go, it’s easy enough to change back if you don’t end up enjoying it haha. Ooh and yes, I also have a custom button mapped to changing the look in camera- sometimes seeing in black and white can be more motivating in mid-day or not-so-great light. 📸
I agree, because no camera will improve a photographer’s images. Skill is totally separate from gear, but I can’t review that. All I can do is make the best work that I can during the time I have with a camera for you guys and share my experience. Some of the all time greats were shooting on the equivalent of a potato relative to what we have available today.
@@DylanSpitz I wasn't being critical, and I enjoy equipment reviews. I was more making a technical point that spending more beyond a good FF camera and better glass doesn't yield noticeably better large prints. I used many systems including 4x5 and medium format digital. Hasselblad and Fuji are smart to get their equipment out on the UA-cams. But MF for landscape is one step forward but then one step back due to situations where the MF gear is actually inferior to FF.
Big sensors need big mountains and we NEED you to keep making videos for a good 5 years! Jaw dropping scenes, dude!! This one video contains better photos than some people’s entire portfolio.
Aw shucks, man that is way too kind! Hahahaha I promise that's the goal, man! Folks like you keep me pushing forward.

Some of the all time greats were shooting on the equivalent of a potato relative to what we have available today.
@@DylanSpitz I wasn't being critical, and I enjoy equipment reviews. I was more making a technical point that spending more beyond a good FF camera and better glass doesn't yield noticeably better large prints. I used many systems including 4x5 and medium format digital. Hasselblad and Fuji are smart to get their equipment out on the UA-cams. But MF for landscape is one step forward but then one step back due to situations where the MF gear is actually inferior to FF.
