DPR: Fujifilm GFX100S Hands-on
Fujifilm let DPReview go hands-on with the new Fujifilm GFX100 and they came away with a few interesting details:
- The smooth rubber covering will be replaced with texture on the shipping camera
- Feels like a Nikon D5 or Canon EOS-1DX II with a fast prime attached
- The only dial on top left has 3 positions for Stills/Movie/Multi-Exposure
- The center button on the top is the drive button
- The EVF will have X-H1 type performance (which is much better than the GFX50S)
- The EVF is removable like the GFX50S and you can use them interchangeably on the GFX100
- The focus mode button is now on the left instead of right
- Playback is now on the lower right of the screen
- No 4-way controller
- OLED ribbon display on the back under the LCD, but not active on the prototype it shows key camera settings but isn’t touch sensitive
- There is still a bulge in the back for the sensor, but it’s smaller since the battery was relocated to the grip
- Tilt/touch/rear display like GFX
- Same NP-T125 batteries as the GFX
- Should get 400 shots per battery so 800 shots with both batteries charged
- Still using dual SD cards, but a future GFX camera might use an XQD/CFexpress card
- I/O microphone and headphone jacks, HDMI, USB 3.0 Type C, PC Socket on the side
- 4k 30p
- 4:2:0 video internal and 10-bit 4:2:2 external via HDMI
- They could shoot sharp photos at 1/20s with the GF45mm f/2.8 attached and acceptably sharp at 1/6s.
- Might support sensor shifting high-resolution mode in the future via a firmware update
- AF speed appears very good and improved over the original GFX 50S
- Shutter button feels very Nikon or Canon DSLR camera like
- Coming late spring or early summer for around 10k
