The Fujifilm GFX100 is experiencing a shipping shortage, but there are some, who are lucky enough to already have one in their hands.
If seems like all Fujifilm GFX100 owners are also members of our galactic Fujifilm GFX group. So here is some of the feedback they shared there.

It’s the same old story:
New camera comes, FujiRumors covers its launch, people not interested in that particular camera complain that FR covers that camera.
That’s why, back at the GFX50 launch, I wrote the article, “Dear FR-readers, we have to talk“.
The article was extremely effective, since, using hardcore numbers, it showed how readers perception can be so different from the truth.
But writing that article cost me a lot of time. And I just returned from an 8 hour drive from my holiday in Croatia, and I am exhausted, also because I was on holiday with the SonyAlphaRumors guy, which lead to some epic fanboy fights discussions and photowalks.
So I’ll just say this:
But who cares. I mean who cares about how much time and effort I put into this. It’s not your business.
Blogging on FR is my passion since 8 years now, and I do it with the joy to share the Fuji passion with all of you.
I ask you just one thing: please, just do not complain, when, in coincidence with the launch of a massive camera like the Fujifilm GFX100, I share a bit more GFX news than usual.
You don’t like it? Just skip the news.
With all that said, of course I do not forget about Fuji’s APS-C system.
And so I thought to dedicated this roundup to the most important part of our beloved APS-C system: the XF lenses.
If you want, down below are about 30 links and videos covering all kind of XF lenses.
I recently wrote an article on why I believe the Fujifilm GFX system has a glorious future ahead. You can read it here.
I mention that article, because in the comments a FR-reader said that pre-orders for the new GFX100 are strong:
Talking to a Fuji rep at a GFX100 demo and he said orders were triple that of forecasts
Another report from the Fujifilm GFX group says:
I got information, now. I have to wait GFX100 a month [in Japan]. If ordering now, have to wait 2 months. What a big mount of order.
From my own sources I can only confirm that pre-orders are stronger than expected.
If all this is correct, then you can expect delivery shortage.
Let’s look at the 3 major stores:
Some lucky guys already got their Fujifilm GFX100 shipped, and are now very actively sharing impressions and samples at our Fujifilm GFX group.

The Fujifilm GFX100 is now shipping.
It is still not marked as in stock at major retailers, but the small ones have already shipped to customers.
They already share unboxings, hands on experience and some even what are supposed to be bugs, such setting resets. But I remind people, that you have to give the little internal battery a long first charge, otherwise it has not enough juice to keep your camera settings stored while you remove the big battery.
Also, before screaming for bugs, you better read the GFX100 owners manual.
Some members of our massive Fujifilm GFX group have already received their samples, and

Fujifilm has published a first Fujifilm GFX100 development story article.
They start with discussing the definition of the sensor, medium format or large format.
There is not much point in having a discussion as to how to call the format of 44 x 33mm. We tend to seek for the historical ground from the days of silver halide film; 6 x 4.5 is medium format, and 4 x 5 inch or larger is large format, but the explanation does not have any suggestion other than historical legitimacy.
in terms of resolution, the current 44 x 33mm format surpasses that of the 6 x 4.5 and even the 8 x 10. There still is the unique color reproduction of the silver halide films, but if the medium and the large format is designed for large prints, then there is no point in seeking historical ground to call what format GFX is. Because with the GFX100, we can have the prints even larger.
The core part of the article is the comparison between Fujifilm GFX100 and GFX50 in terms of AF speed.
The major change from X-Pro1 to X-Pro2 was the installation of phase detection AF. The same goes for the GFX100 when compared to the change from GFX 50S / 50R. Furthermore, the AF algorithm of the GFX100 is same as that of the X-T3, meaning not only is it fast, but is now also tougher against in low light conditions, high frequency subjects and low contrast subjects.
To put simply, the GFX100 has the agility like the X-T3 and achieves the descriptive power like the 8×10. There have never been a system like this before. This is a whole new experience.
The lenses, that have the biggest benefit in terms of AF speed thanks to the phase detection AF pixels on the GFX100 are the GF63mm and GF45mm.

A new edition of the Medium Format Magazine has just been released.
It’s packed with content of great contributors, like Jonas Rask, Ming Thein, Take Kayo and more.
This edition includes also an interview with Makoto Oishi, product planner for Fujifilm GFX100.
In this article I will highlight a few things the manager said about the Fujifilm GFX100. But there is definitely a lot more to read at the Medium Format Magazine.
If pixel shift multishot will come to the Fujifilm GFX100 will depend on customer demand
The manager bluffs. They know customers want it, and they are already working on it, as FujiRumors reported exclusively here.
They asked Makoto Oishi if there will be a “full-frame crop mode” with faster sensor readout for even faster AF, higher EVF refresh rates, higher burst rates and shorter blackout times. The manager diplomatically says:
We can’t answer. It’s confidential information.
No comment by the manager also when asked about the Fujifilm GFX50R and 50S successors.
This and more can be read at the Medium Format Magazine, that goes well beyond the interview with the manager.

The Fujifilm GFX100 is about to ship, and what we have for you is one last glorious Fujifilm GFX100 roundup, before it starts falling into hands of mere mortals (with pockets a bit bigger than mere mortals ;) ).
The Slanted Lens tested the Fujifilm GFX100. Problem? They didn’t use the latest firmware that adds support for phase detection AF on GF lenses, and Lightroom still officially marks the GFX100 as preliminary supported. Sadly this makes every review so far incomplete.
With that said, here is what they think about the GFX100 (video below).
