It’s time to catch up with more GFX100 coverage. Below you will find excerpts from the video located above:
- Feels like a GFX50S with a handgrip
- Likes the ergonomics
- Ultimate landscape setup that goes well beyond landscape
- Love the tiltable EVF
- Stunning/Amazin image quality that is almost too sharp for people
- Fast fall off with the 110mm f/2 that might need f/4-5.6 to get both eyes in focus
- Found it difficult to get the eyes in perfect focus at f/2, but much better at f/4
- The RAW images are absolutely beautiful
- Amazing dynamic range and was able to recover highlights at -5 EV but by +2EV the highlights were not recoverable and +3EV had a color shift so don’t overexpose
- Not a bad street camera if shooting in a challenging situation
- Grain starts to build by ISO400 and you really see it by ISO1600
- Wouldn’t shoot 6400 ISO if he can help it
- Recommends max 1600 ISO for stills and 3200 ISO for video
- AF for still wasn’t as impressive as he would like
- AF for the video was impressive and matches the best cameras out there
- IBIS was very impressive for video
- Love the 110mm f/2, but f/2 is too shallow
- 32-64mm is great as a walk around lens
Excerpts from the above video:
- You would expect to need a tripod with this kind of sensor and resolution, but the IBIS works great and lets you hand hold without a problem
- Handles like an X-T3
- Had no problem shooting in natural light
- You can use this camera anywhere
- The eye AF is very good
- Was expecting slower AF, but it was very DSLR like
- Great that it’s weather sealed
- Decided to shoot JPEG since RAW isn’t fully supported when he had the camera
- The ability to shoot high speed at 5fps on a medium format camera is nuts
- The viewfinder is amazing
- The grip feels good, but he doesn’t like straps
- The lens is big and great for big hands
- The camera feels secure in hands
- Loves the top LCD
- Lots of really nice touches
- Great value for the money
- Lots of worlds first and a growing lens selection
- Great color accuracy
- Another level of detail
- Do you need 100MP
- Can even see raindrops on glasses
- It’s a whole nother world working with this kind of resolution
- Good results with ISO 5,000 handheld at f/4
- Brilliant ISO performance
- Extremely good value
Excerpts from the above video:
- A brand new device with a lot of exciting new features
- Think it’s more accurate to call it medium format then large format
- The dual gain design gives it good ISO performance
- 5fps for 14 frames and 2fps for 20 frames
- The smooth skin effect was developed for GFX100
- Aimed at commercial shooters
- The resolution is great for crops of all type
- The IBIS lets you get great sharp handheld shots when other devices wouldn’t be able to get a sharp image
- The GFX50S didn’t have great AF but the GFX100 does
- Very unique and impressive video performance
- Fujifilm’s first camera with a built-in grip allowing for 800 shots
- The grip not being textured has a bit less grip
- Comparable to professional DSLR cameras weight wise and ruggedness wise
- the extra displays let you keep the rear LCD clear
- The new controls might take time to get used to
- The new EVF is fantastic
- Two UHS-II compatible spots, but would like XQD or CFast
- A very flexible camera that might really appeal to you
Excerpts from the above video:
- Not a big gear head, but the GFX100 is very special and can change how we tell stories
- They were given demo cameras to do a video and fell in love so decided to review it
- The huge sensor is a big step up over m43 and GH5
- The larger sensor will let you get much higher image quality
- There are engineering challenges like having to use a higher f-stop
- The above video was all shot 100% handheld which is shocking for a sensor this size
- The difference from 8-bit video to 10-bit is huge and allows for more post-processing and better color gradients
- Great in camera video and/or f-log
- Easy to create how a color felt in camera
- 16 film simulations
- You can do film simulation in camera and f-log to an external recorder at the same time
- The rear screen is very bright with a high contrast ratio
- Exposure is hard to figure out with f-log
- The dual batteries last a long time for video
- Little more cumbersome for them to use than a red when changing settings quickly
- Would love the false color on the built-in monitor to double check exposure
- Can use histograms and zebras for exposure
- AF is improved for video and is very usable
- Takes big lenses
- Their favorite lenses are 63mm, 32-64mm, and 120mm Macro
- Manual focus is very usable
- Usable for professional projects
- Should nail exposure when shooting in high ISO and you really have to nail it with film simulation
- The sweet spot for exposure seems to be about one stop over
- Great at holding highlights
- Very impressed with the image quality for such a large sensor in a compact body
- He will definitely be using it in the future
