DPReview released their review of for the Fujifilm GFX100 and they are pretty obviously impressed. It’s kind of sad they are getting push back about doing a preview focused around street photography. The GFX100 was designed to use for everything, not just landscapes. Below is a summary of the above video:
- Compact body
- Rugged design
- Excellent IBIS
- Fast AF
- They got push back over using the GFX100 like a regular camera
- The screen on the back is fantastic
- The weight gives it good stability
- EFC gives it great stability with the great shutter
- Fantastic for handheld shooting
- You get quite a lot of the resolution handheld
- With 102MP you can crop crop crop
- Great dynamic range
- 100 or 800 ISO you get fantastic push
- If animals do not fear humans the GFX is fantastic for shooting wildlife
- IBIS allows for acceptably sharp photos down to around 1/15th a second otherwise 1/125th without
- Still doesn’t like the vertical grip
- Fujifilm’s EVF is almost as good as the Panasonic S
- GFX100 is the new landscape king
- Gave it to a pro that also didn’t like the vertical grip
- The pro that preferred OVF ended up liking the EVF
- The touch screen makes sense and it is nice and quick
- Battery life is ok, but not great
- Like being able to take focus point all the way to the end
- Blackout time is pretty bad
- The pro that was stuck in his ways and used to 1DX got great results
- Incredible stunning detail
- DPRTV still stands by 50MP not offering much over the full frame, but the 102MP is amazing image quality all around
- 14-bit vs 16-bit makes a difference at 100ISO for more dynamic range
- If you’re shooting quicker like street then shoot 14-bit RAW, because the benefit of 16-bit is slight at best
- The GFX100 is very versatile thanks to the great IBIS and X-T3 like AF
- 110mm isn’t very fast on the GFX100
- Very lens dependant AF
- Many photographers will want to stay full frame to handle action
- Most enjoyable medium format camera he has ever used
- Comes down to do you need 100MP
- Full Frame cameras are still probably best for most, but the GFX100 can do it all
- Very interesting video capabilities that they will explore in a later video
