Fuji GFX 100RF - A Medium Format Rangefinder against full frame rest of the world

[@ArminHirmer]

they just have to make an updated version of the GFX 50R, still 50MP, IBIS, modern processor and better viewfinder. Fixed lens is in my opinion the wrong way

[@OneLensOnly]

We're still at rumors level, anything is possible :)

[@nevvanclarke9225]

I agree The problem Sony makes the sensor and Sony have said they are not making it 😮anymore The 50r and 50s ii have been discontinued

@ironmonkey1512 have you used a GFX100 camera ..when you do you'll change your tune

@@nevvanclarke9225 my gfx50r sits and I shoot mainly with 24mp nikon zf. I'm not changing my tune. I've got better things to do than pixel peep.

[@numbersix8919]

Thanks! This looks like a fun camera!

[@OneLensOnly]

I hope it is!

[@jorgemoro5476]

No IBIS no sale I own the 50r, 100s and Leica Q2 and Q3 43. As I get older I find IBIS indispensable which is why my 50r rarely is used.

[@OneLensOnly]

Nice gear! Wow

[@weiyang6417]

I was fine at first with no IBIS on my 50R. It is hard going backward once you've used it in the current models. The only thing that has going for this camera is a EDC MF camera. This camera will fail if the size doesn't meet people's expectations. I find it difficult how this will be the size of an X-Pro, especially with a bigger battery it will require.

[@OneLensOnly]

I used the Pixii for a few months, no IBIS and small Duracell batteries. It did just fine but I could use it for free. I'll keep this 100rf under my radar though

[@MrPedalpaddle]

A range finder style body, but I would be surprised if it is an actual range finder. But I find the whole product bizarre, so I guess anything is possible. I have yet to hear a persuasive “use case” for this. (I’ve just gone backwards & picked up a used Fuji XT3- lots of fun!)

[@OneLensOnly]

I guess they are trying not to surrender to full frame, this is what they have and they try to make something out of it. APSc and medium format. X-pro line was great. XT, too. Didn't you have a xt4?

[@MrPedalpaddle]

I have an XT5 with its tilt screen - I didn’t like the flip out, video screen of the XT4, like the Sony a7c

[@RonScibilia]

Viable concept, but what is the projected MSRP?

[@OneLensOnly]

We can only imagine a range that would align it with Leica Q prices: the x-pro3 still sells for 1500 and the GFX 100 ii well, it's more expensive but aligned with Leica. Anything lower than that and it will sell like hot cakes. But it's too early to know. Stay tuned I'll be digging

[@borzumo]

lets be real, 300mp 64bit global for edc is minimum before next 6 month upgrade

[@OneLensOnly]

It's not about MP and bits anymore, it's about the feel (sorry, this is the response the A.I. suggested; I couldn't resist)

[@johnybravo7034]

F4 lens with no ibis, if these specs are true, I’ll pass. F4 is still F4 in terms of lighting gathering. No ibis, will make shooting a 100mp sensor at F4 in less than perfect lighting conditions a challenge.

[@OneLensOnly]

F4 is the min I use for street photography, when the day is not so bright and I am covered by the shade of buildings, to help a bit with shutter speed. I wouldn't know how the medium format reacts to micro-jitters as I never owned one and if this condition limits the shutter speed to the fast side

[@ironmonkey1512]

100mp is useless. I have a GFX 50r and am shooting now mostly with my nikon zf. The GFX sits on a copy stand. 50mp ibis, backlit CCD with latest fast processors and autofocus would be much more useful.

[@OneLensOnly]

We'll see what they really come out with! At the moment it's just a rumour, I would be surprised if they started the buzz to gather feedback :)

[@SRC1711]

Watch out Leica Q

[@OneLensOnly]

I wonder why the x-pro line didn't get a successor

[@nevvanclarke9225]

No IBIS 👎 what???? That makes no sens Youd woukd buy a 50R with 50 3.5 which is 40mm

[@OneLensOnly]

Still just a rumour, but they didn't put IBIS in the xm5 either and that one is clearly targeting vloggers!

[@nevvanclarke9225]

@OneLensOnly No ibis saves weight and battery life....I'm a GFX users x 2 100s ii and 50s ii I think ibis is very very useful for medium format

[@OneLensOnly]

Totally agree, when I can I pair the ibis with ois and get the best combo. Recently I saw camera companies more towards the digital stabe. If well played (such as on DJI) on 100MP the crop in might be not so pronounced. We'll see
