Fujifilm decided to make us a Christmas present and deliver the Fujifilm GFX100S to stores.
Right now you can find it in stock at AmazonUS here and at Adorama here.
Usually it takes just hours for the GFX100S to run out of stock, and weeks (if not months) to be available again.
Sean Reid at www.reidreviews.com has recently published two new Fuji G system reviews.
The first is a detailed 18 page side-by-side field and studio test of the GFX 100S and GFX 50S II. It looks at autofocus speed, buffer capacity, resolution, vignetting, color rendering and various other aspects of these cameras’ performance. The second is a full field and studio review of the GF 50/3.5 tested on the GFX 100S and GFX50S II.
I asked Reid if he could share an aspect of his test results that might be particularly interesting to Fuji Rumors readers. He noted this:
When photographers think about using a very high resolution (in terms of MP count) camera with a given lens, it is common to be concerned about whether the camera will reveal weaknesses in that lens. But the GF 50/3.5 actually performs even better, off axis for example, with the GFX 100S than the GFX50S II.
Reid has previously reviewed many other Fuji G and X system cameras & lenses and the article topics are all listed here: https://www.reidreviews.com/articleindextable.html.
Reid Reviews, which has been published since 2005, is unusual in that it accepts no advertising and instead is accessible only by paid subscription.

Lensrentals has listed their top rented gear for 2021.
There is only one Fujifilm gear in the list, and it’s the Fujifilm GFX100S, which Lensrentals calls their “personal favorite“.
Worth to note is that there are only 4 still (or hybrid) oriented cameras in the list, and the Fujifilm GFX100S is among them. The rest are mostly video cameras and lenses.
A pity only that those, who rented the GFX100S and then maybe wanted to buy it, very likely could not find any sample available, as that beast is mostly unavailable even 11 months after its announcement.
Down below you can find the full lists of top rented gear shared by lensrentals.

Fujifilm GFX100S is right now in stock at AmazonUS here. It’s a rare find, even 11 months after its annoucement.
The year is ending, the internet is flooded by “best and worst” articles and videos, and at some point of the ranking the Fujifilm GFX system always comes out on the very top positions.
It happened for example with DPRTV here (who gave tremendous praise to the Fujifilm GFX100S) and with BH Explora here, who ranked both, the GFX100S and the new GFX50SII in the top 10 mirrorless cameras list for 2021.
Now, nobody can predict the future in the long term. So if the GFX system will keep up rising or not remains an open question whose outcome will depend on many things.
But if we look back on how it all started with the GFX system and where the system is now, then we can surely say that Fujifilm has set some solid fundaments on which they could potentially build up something very special.
So, in order to honor the big GFX year that we just had, we celebrate today with a dedicated GFX roundup that you can find below.
GFX Gear Launched in 2021
In their usual very entertaining way, Chris and Jordan from DPRTV share their best and worst camera gear episode for 2021.
Instead of the best stills and hybrid camera categories (as they did last year), this year they axed the hybrid category and replaced it with the best video camera, which has been won by the DJI Ronin 4D. I wish they would have kept the hybrid category.
Also, there is not one overall best lens, but best lens for M4/3, APS-C and Full Frame. Medium Format is not contemplated in the lens options, so the stellar Fujinon GF80mm f/1.7 (which I use every now and then with very gratifying results) had no chance to participate to this years’ DPRTV selection.

Look, I own the Fujifilm GFX100S and I admire it. It stunns me over and over again. And if you want the best image quality, more then you could ever desire, then go for it. But as much as I admire it, I can’t fall in love with it as I do with my Fujifilm X gear, since it lacks of manual controls. To be clear, it is fast and stupidly easy to operate. But just not as fun. So Fuji, take the X-T form and function, and make a GFX out of it, pretty much like this prototype you’ve showen to us in the past.
And yet, it has captured some precious family memories at a quality I do not deserve :).

Fujifilm has released new firmware updates for the Fujifilm X100V, GFX100S and GFX50SII.
All details down below.
Fujifilm has published the financial results for the second quarter (ending September 30). A special mention goes to the Fujifilm GFX100S and Instax products.
You can find the summary down below.
A limited number of Fujifilm GFX100S cameras is now in stock at Adorama here. So far they always sold out rapidly and stores struggled to get back stock, so if you want one, it might be better to grab it right now.
As a happy owner of the Fujifilm GFX100S myself, I can only say that if when you press the shutter button, all you want is the best possible image quality, then look no further, the GFX100S is what will satisfy you. I only miss the X-T alike dials on it, which is why I am stunned, blown away and sincerely admire the GFX100S, but I can’t love it the same way I love my X-T4* and X-E3.
The situation looks much better for the Fujifilm GFX50SII, which is available pretty much everywhere.

*except for the selfie screen ;)
The Fujifilm GFX50S II is right now in stock at BHphoto here at AmazonUS here and at Adorama here and soon in both versions, body only here and with GF35-70 kit here.
If you want the GF35-70 lens only, that one will start shipping on November 30.
Another little good news, you can now find a few Fujifilm GFX100S cameras in stock at Moment here. Sadly nothing yet on BHphoto here and an overpriced GFX100S is sold at AmazonUS via third party.
Well, a little good news among all the epic delays tons of Fujifilm X and GFX gear is suffering right now.
