Ready? Then here we go.
2 years ago, Luca Petralia made a video in which he expressed his Fujifilm X-Pro4 wishes. Among them, the controversial removal of the hybrid viewfinder.
But for some who wish to get rid of the optical viewfinder, there are others instead who prefer the EVF to get removed in favor a full optical-only viewfinder.
Personally, I think neither the optical nor the electronic viewfinder should be removed.
On the contrary, I hope they’ll both be improved, and early rumors point indeed towards that.
Mattia Campos has spent more than 20 years working with every kind of ultra-flagship full-frame camera you can think of. Not long ago, we reported how he decided to step outside his comfort zone and take the Fujifilm APS-C system to Patagonia for wildlife photography.
The short version? Fujifilm’s APS-C system completely blew him away. His review turned out to be one of the best—and most brutally honest—camera reviews of 2025. If you haven’t read it yet, it’s absolutely worth your time.
But Campos didn’t stop there.
He also put the Fujifilm GFX100 II to the test in a place where you would least expect a medium-format camera: a MotoGP race.
The full review is in Italian and was published on JuzaPhoto. Below, I’ll summarize the key takeaways, including a direct comparison with the Sony A1 and the Nikon Z8.
One comparison, in particular, really stands out.
Campos compared:
He cropped the GFX files to match the field of view of the Nikon files—fully expecting the Nikon setup to come out on top.
It didn’t.
The results were practically identical.
In other words: with a €4,000 GF lens, he achieved the same level of sharpness as with an $16,000 Nikon super-telephoto.
And that was just one of the advantages he found in high resolution—and in medium format more broadly. He also appreciated several other qualities of medium-format files… and was equally honest about the aspects he liked less.
You can read all about it below.
NOTE: the original article shared months ago contained images. However, Mattia has since then canceled his account on the forum and the images have disappeared. However, his text and findings are still there, which is why I still decided to share it.
We told you that there will be a Fujifilm GFX180. it won’t happen very soon, but it will come at some point.
And the Fujifilm GFX180 might even tell us more about the future of the Fujifilm APS-C system and the X-Trans 6 sensor.
Why?
Well, Fujifilm usually uses the same sensor for the X system and GFX system, with the only difference that the GFX sensor is about 4 times bigger.
This means:
Now, if we were to apply the same logic to the rumored Fujifilm GFX180 sensor, then we would get this
This means that I would not be surprised if the Fujifilm X-T6, but also the Fujifilm X-Pro4, the Fujifilm X-T60, the Fujifilm X-E6, Fujifilm X100VI and the Fujifilm X-H3 would come with a 46 megapixel sensor.
This means a slight increase in resolution for APS-C, which is definitely welcome.
Other questions remain open, with the main one being if it will be a DGO or DCG sensor.
Regarding the “more megapixel are bad for low light photography”, make sure this read this debunking article.
