LEAKED: First Image of Fujifilm GFX100S II Shows One Obvious Difference over GFX100S

Trusted sources have passed us the first image of the Fujifilm GFX100S II which you can see below (THANKS A LOT).

I know what you think.

You think: “this looks exactly like the Fujifilm GFX100S“.

But look closer, and you’ll spot an actually quite noticeable difference.

Found it?

The whole GFX100S II camera body is now wrapped in the same Bishamon texture we find on the higher end Fujifilm GFX100 II.

That’s a good news. I loved that texture when I went hands-on with the Fujifilm GFX100II.

As for the rest, the Fujifilm GFX100S II looks pretty much identical to the Fujifilm GFX100S.
