Why Fujifilm’s Film Simulation Matter also for RAW Shooters (Including the New REALA)

Almost here – First Camera with REALA film simulation

Reala

It was a wonderful sunrise with golden hour in full power overlooking the Dolomites, when we told you that Fujifilm will launch a new film simulation on September 12 called Reala, the digital version of the much loved Reala film stock.

Make sure to check out the video… it’s worth it for the view alone.

Now, personally I am very thrilled about it and can’t wait to see how it looks like.

But as usual when we talk Film Simulations, there is a good number of people who says: “who cares, I shoot RAW anyway”.

And that’s totally fine. Everybody has different needs.

But there is a basic misconceptions here that we need to root out once for all.

Fujifilm GFX100 II Teaser Video Online (not Fujifilm GFX100SII) – Full Frame’s Biggest Threat is Coming Tomorrow

Trust me.

The Fujifilm GFX100 II will blow your mind.

We have shown how it destroyed the Hasselblad X2D by the specs and it will be the biggest temptation ever launched for Full Frame users to ditch their smaller sensor and step up to something about 70% larger and fuller than full frame.

And today Fujifilm gives us a first glimpse into the Fujifilm GFX100 II with the video you can see above (screenshots below). We notice:

  • 2 FN buttons on the fron of the camera
  • PSAM dial with 6 Custom modes
  • manual MCS switch still there
  • three buttons right behind the shutter
  • movie/stills switch

NOTE: I hear some claim this camera is called Fujifilm GFX100SII. But that’s FAKE. This is not the Fujifilm GFX100S II, but the Fujifilm GFX100II.

Hasselblad X2D vs Fujifilm GFX100 II vs GFX100S vs GFX100 – The Complete Specs Comparison

We already shared the specs comparison between the GFX100II, GFX100S and GFX100.

I initially also included the Hasselblad X2D in that comparison, but I realised that the X2D was just out of context in that comprehensive list.

The list had to be adjusted to best make sense.

For example, the GFX only comparison did not include the voice “joystick” or “eye autofocus” as all of the GFX cameras have it. But when comparing it to the Hasselblad X2D, the voice “joystick” and “eye AF” were important, since the X2D does not offer it and these are major things to consider when comparing these cameras.

That’s why I share the X2D comparison separately in this post.

It also helps to split up the discussion better and make this one a more X2D vs GFX centric discussion.
