Fujifilm did a lot of things right with the Fujifilm GFX50R, and it definitely helped to breath new life into Fujifilm GFX medium format sales. So high time to dedicate this roundup to the Fujifilm GFX50R.
What you see here today, are the first images of the Fujifilm GFX100 backside, shared at gao3366 instagram back on the 15th of October 2018.
But since nobody reported about it, it’s once again time for FujiRumors to break the news, thanks to a FR-reader, who sent me the link yesterday (I asked gao3366 for permission to share his images).
So here is what we can see:
The Fujifilm GFX100 has 2 joysticks (no surprise), no D-Pad and a 3-way tilt screen. And looking at the buttons, I guess nobody will complain they are to small and hard to press ;). More images down below.
Of course this is just a prototype and things might change a bit until its release later this year.
As we have shown in our size comparison here, the Fujifilm GFX100 (which has a medium format sensor and IBIS) is not bigger than full frame cameras with integrated grip, such as the Nikon D5 and the Canon 1Dx MK II.
When I was at Photokina, Fujifilm was very attentive not to display the Fujifilm GFX100S from the backside. And also the images they published on the web so far don’t show the backside of the camera.
However, I took a close look at the images we have so far, and I noticed that there are two joysticks at the back of the camera (see top image). Other cameras with integrated battery grip, such as the Nikon D5 and the Canon 1Dx MK II, also have two joysticks. And also Fuji’s own vertical grips for X series cameras offer an additional joystick.
Down below more leaked Fujifilm GFX100 specs… definitely more exciting than today’s one ;).
Recently we also compared the size of the Fujifilm GFX100 with several other cameras, including the Sony A7III and many more. Check out the comparisons here.

RUMOR, NEWS and COMMUNITY
Fujifilm GFX 100
With the release of the more affordable, smaller and lighter Fujifilm GFX50R, Fujifilm has dropped the price of the Fuji GFX50S to $5,499 (check BHphoto, Adorama and AmazonUS).
The Fujifilm GFX 50S might be still more expensive over the “R”, but if offers features the Fujifilm GFX50R does not have, such as the 3 way tilt screen, a tiltable and ultra large EVF, top LCD screen and more.
And after months of buzz only around the Fujifilm GFX50R, I decided to decdicate a roundup to the Fujifilm GFX50S only.
And at the bottom you will find a few images from our gigiantic Fujifilm GFX facebook group.

At my photokina visit in September 2018, I could not miss to visit one of the rising stars in the lens industry, Venus Optics.
Their Laowa 9mm F2.8 Zero-D lens ended up being the best selling lens 2018 here on FujiRumors. Check out top 3 selling lenses, cameras and overall camera gear in this dedicated article.
At Photokina, I also had the opportunity to handle the Laowa 17mm f/4, the widest G-mount lens for the Fujifilm GFX system.
Well, I have to inform you that the wait for this lens will be a bit longer than expected, since we have been informed (thanks), that the Laowa 17mm f/4 Zero-D GFX will come in March 2019.
I did share a hands on video of the Laowa 17mm f/4 Zero-D as well as hands on images and specs already.
I remind you that Venus Optics also offers the Laowa Magic Format Converter for Fujifilm GFX, which allows you to adapt your Canon and Nikon full frame lenses onto the Fujifilm GFX without any vignetting.
