Chris and Jordan from DPRTV published their Fujifilm GFX100 review.

Here are their findings:

Fujifilm GFX100

Kai Wong went hands on with the Fujifilm GFX100. Here is what he thinks about it:

• medium format is ment for tripod still subject shooting, but not with a body like the Fujifilm GFX100
• feels good in the hands
• like a Canon 1DXII in terms of size and weight, but the GFX100 has a much bigger sensor inside [and I’d also IBIS]
• it functions like an oversized Fujifilm X, at least almost. No D-Pad, no retro dials
• skin smoothing effect smooths out ever imperfection. Works only for the JPEGs
• autofocus is pretty damn good. Same AF algorithm of X-T3, but lenses have bigger glass to shift, hence not as fast AF as X-T3
• Fujifilm X-T3 and X-T30 eye-AF is right up there with Sony
• Kai’s GFX100 struggled to detect faces, but on other GFX100 samples face and eye detection worked well
• Eye AF is accurate and fast enough, although feels a little bit slower than on Fujifilm X-T3
• the GFX100 sensor is 4 times bigger than the sensor on the X-T3
• tracking mostly does a good job, although, understandably, sometimes it doesn’t shift the glass in time when the subject is moving at decent pace towards you
• EVF is sooo good
• shutter really well dampened (shock absorber), and you need it, with medium format 102 MP
• nice soft shutter button, like on Fujifilm X-H1
• using IBIS, works easily down to 1/125
• no fancy dials, and Kai missed them, since turning a dial is easier and quicker than pressing a button and looking at the LCD
• not too many negatives
• electronic shutter means bad rolling shutter, but no surprise with a big sensor like that, and probably you are not going to use electronic shutter on the GFX100
• works well enough on the streets, but not the obvious choice for street photography
• a camera for landscapers, who need more resolution and more details
• you can push it 4 stops and still get nice clean, crisp images
• nobody buys the GFX100 for video, but it deserves credit since Fujifilm has done video well on the GFX100
• uses 4K with no crop. Footage looks great. AF works great. Rolling shutter contained and video is still usable
• IBIS works superbly to shoot stable video
• You do get quite a bit for your money
• Props to Fujifilm and well done to all those lucky buggers that can afford one
