DPRTV: Fujifilm GFX100 First Look

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 29, 2019

DPRTV posted their early impressions of the Fujifilm GFX100. Below are key points from the video:

The camera is large and heavy, but not Canon 1DX Heavy
Just over 3 lbs
Very comfortable grip
The vertical grip isn’t great and it’s an uncomfortable small metal design
The camera looks great
There might be a rubberized attachment for the vertical grip to make it more comfortable
The top and back screen are customizable
Top button swaps shutter speed and aperture controls
The highest resolution EVF Fujifilm has ever used alongside the highest MP sensor
Very slim removable 5.76M dot 0.86x magnification EVF
24x view magnification for focus accuracy
Very X-T3 like AF performance
16-bit RAW shoots at 2fps
14-bit RAW is 5fps
Worlds first 100MP BSI camera
Lots of features to make the camera more stable like an electronic front curtain, well dampened mechanical shutter, and 5.5 stops of IBIS
There are a lot of handheld opportunities, but a tripod would be best
Dual gain sensor which will give you better high ISO performance
Full resolution is 4×3 at 102MP, but you still have beyond full frame resolution if you crop: 1×1 is 72MP, 2×3 is 85MP, 16×9 is 72MP
1/6th of a second scan rate for electronic shutter
Rolling shutter can be pretty bad when shooting motion or panning with the electronic shutter
GFX100 isn’t great for vlogging, but great for other kinds of video work
Shockingly competent at video
Internal 10-bit 4:2:0
External via mini HDMI 10-bit 4:2:2
Eterna, FLog, HLG
IBIS is great for stationary video
IBIS can get jumpy when quickly panning or tilting
Face detect AF works in video, but not as well as X-T3, which could be due to it being preproduction or the lens
The video scan rate is much better than photo and it’s using the full sensor, which could be from pixel binning or line skipping
The video is good enough if you are out shooting photos, but wouldn’t recommend it as primarily a video camera
GFX50S didn’t feel like it could replace a full frame DSLR because things like AF performance simply didn’t compare
GFX100 now has all the technology that the GFX50S was missing
Shooting on the streets at night with the GFX100 felt like the X-T3
GFX100 can handle many different projects but might be better to go Full Frame for sports and action
Full review will come when they get production units

It looks like the Instax Mini LiPlay that leaked a while ago will be coming June 12th.

“Introducing the new instax, perfect for the new age. All of the highly anticipated details will be revealed in full on the 12th June, but we’re giving you a sneak peak of one of the new instax’s very special features – an LCD screen.”

Fujifilm X-T4 IBIS Proof of Concept

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 28, 2019

A site that repeatedly takes my rumors without linking to me and edits their own to make it look like they are always first has called my Fujifilm X-T4 inference clickbait because he’s mad I beat him yet again. So here is some evidence to support my logical inference based on the previously posted rumor.

Fujifilm has previously stated that IBIS only works in the X-H1 line at this time because of the size of their IBIS system. They have also stated that they will bring IBIS to future cameras, like the X-T4, when they can reduce the size of their IBIS system. Most rumor sites post conjecture as fact and then edit their posts later, which we do not do here. I am always very upfront with drawing conclusions, but this is a very important one that deserves some elaboration.

Volume Calculations For X-H1, X-Pro2, X-T3
X-Pro2: 140.5 x 82.8 x 45.9mm = 533973.06 mm³
X-H1: 139.8 x 97.3 x 85.5mm = 1163017.17 mm³
X-T3: 132.5 x 92.8 x 58.8mm = 723004.8 mm³

The Fujifilm X-T3 currently has a volume of almost halfway between the X-H1 and X-Pro2, but more interestingly the X-Pro2 is less than half the volume of the Fujifilm X-H1. So if they manage to fit IBIS in the X-Pro3 than it most certainly will fit in the Fujifilm X-T4 or maybe X-T3s.

Now we can’t verify the X-Pro3’s IBIS at this time and the camera might be a little larger, but the X-Pro3 has an OVF that takes a significant amount of space inside the camera body away from electronics. Also, a lot of the weibo leaks have been spot on and it is actually where some sites have gotten their rumors for years instead of using real personal sources so it is probably accurate. These sites only started citing weibo when we started pointing out where the rumors are coming from.

If the rumor is true the only reason Fujifilm would leave IBIS out of the X-T4 would be to promote the Fujifilm X-H2. Thankfully Fujifilm isn’t known for withholding technology so I do not think they will do this, but the X-H2 might have significantly improved IBIS over the X-Pro3 and X-T4 if they all end up with IBIS in the near future.

Fujifilm X-Pro3 Coming With 5-Axis IBIS? Fujifilm X-T4?

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 28, 2019

The below details about the upcoming X-Pro 3 were posted on weibo and if true represent something exciting for IBIS fans. If Fujifilm has miniaturized their IBIS enough to fit into the X-Pro 3 than it is highly likely that the Fujifilm X-T4 and more will come with the feature in the future.

[Fuji X-Pro3 specification parameter initial exposure] We have previously received a wire report that Fuji X-Pro3 will meet with you in October this year, just got the most rumors about the specifications of this new machine:

with X-processor 4 4 core processor with the CPU;
4K video shooting 60 frames per second;
