For most general purpose photography I would recommend the Z8. However, if you print extra large scale and/or output with the best professional print equipment, then the extra bit depth of the GFX system can offset the slower sensor readouts and the oversized glass you have to carry. I’m also a fan of the 4:3 aspect ratio in GFX, but for my current work I find a Z9 to be my better choice.

I haven't seen 4:3 displays for a long time, they all are 16:9 nowadays, and that's what I always shoot. So both sensors will be cropped, and GFX will lose more real estate, so the difference between them will be even smaller.

@@ElementaryWatson-123 4:3 framing for photography opens up a lot of unique possibilities compared to the more typical 3:2 of the SLR heritage cameras such as the Nikon. Though there are creative reasons in narrative films to consider alternative ratios, not to mention the flexibility of open gate video which offers a lot more vertical area to work with for reframing a shot in post, or for cropped vertical “social” ratios without having to rotate the camera sensor. Though I’m not sure off the top of my head how many options these cameras provide in video.

@@ElementaryWatson-123 you can crop GFX files in any way and have more resolution at the end, but it’s not the point. GFX gives you thick colors, well preserved details and great starting point for editing. You can do awesome RE job with any camera, especially using lowest ISO and fine lighting, but it’s impossible to beat GFX in terms of high quality prints.

As a Nikon user and a Fujifilm user, this is very interesting to watch. I think certain things are down to the individual, I hate swing round LCD display, which I have on the X-H2, and I love to panel on the GFX100s and II. I also hate the built into the body strap, that the GFX100II, as it makes it impossible to mount my Optec strap, which I find so much better than a normal strap. With the GFX100II it should be mentioned that when shooting at 8fps, I believe the image quality drops to 12 bit raw, instead of 16 bit raw. The other issue is the rolling shutter of the GFX100II, whilst the sensor reads twice as fast as the GFX100 sensor, you still can get issues with movement and rolling shutter, which the Z8, does not suffer from, due to the exceptionally fast read out speed. With the noise, you have to remember that the GFX100II has 102mp, and you are looking much closer at the image, if you compared the two images together at the same size. I have to say I love both cameras. I have the D850, and the GFX100s, and think the Z8 and GFX100II are in many ways a big step up in quality. The one exception is image quality. The D850 and Z8 image quality is very similar with the D850, in theory having very slightly better dynamic range. The same can be said with the GFX100s and 100II, the sensors, are basically the same, and you will find very little difference in image quality. With both cameras, if you need the higher shooting speeds, and better autofocus, then it is well worth upgrading, but currently, I find it hard to justify upgrading to either cameras, even though I know they are better in so many ways.

@dannyli9424 I'm in the process of figuring out what I want from my photo gear. The Nikon F2 ruined me. Even after getting decent lenses for my Sony, there's something missing. Part of me thinks an upgrade in image quality might do it, but im not sure. Perhaps I should go with Leica or Hasselblad, but again, it's a big investment and neither system is perfect. For now, I might just stick with the Nikon F2.

medium format is what you think of studio photography and maybe landscape, but they were usually way too expensive. Now they are more doable. Z8 is more of an overall photography camera and a lens selection to back it up.. got the Z8, but always thinking of MF in the future.

I'd say at best, this is like comparing apples to oranges. The Z8 is purpose built for speed and high resolution, the Fuji is built for resolution primarily. For most people, the Z8 would be a more suitable, well-rounded camera for anything. I'd probably only say to get the GFX 100 series if you're doing landscape or commercial work or anything you know will be printed large for sure (that requires that many megapixels) but for most people, the Z8 will be plenty (after all, it's like 95% of Nikon's flagship camera in a smaller, cheaper body). The ideal solution, if money is no object, is to have a Z8, maybe a Z6 III or Zf, and a GFX 100 to cover pretty much everything one could possibly need. But that would be an expensive setup when you add in lenses for both systems.

Here we are comparing apples and oranges. One is a full frame camera on the other is a medium format camera they can't be compared. Well I guess they can. However for Image. quality the GFX 100 should do much better. And the z8 will do very well as a full frame camera and the reviews show that. But the one thing we need to compare that it's not compared in your review is the cost. the cost of these two cameras are very much different the z8 coming in at about 4,000 The GFX 100 coming in around $8,000 double the price. However I enjoyed this review it brings up some very fine points that should be considered. For the money the z8 is the best deal however the Fuji is an extremely fine camera and if I can afford it I think I would buy one.

Jay, thank you for this superb comparison!! I was unaware that the GFX system uses the Bayer sensor, and most interesting that the GFX image was a bit sharper than the non-Bayer filter FF image! I'm considering going MF (using a FF Nikon Z System now) for landscape, product and macro photography, and was wondering if you had an opinion on whether the Fujinon GF lenses are as sharp or sharper than the equivalent Hasselblad XC lenses, particularly the 120 Macro? (Currently I use an IRIX 150 f/2.8 Macro lens on a Nikon Z8, which does yield ultra-sharp images, but since I'm printing rather large, hence my reason for considering a MF System.) Thank you!

I cannot believe at this price point I would have to buy extra gear just to make it work. I'm not talking lenses or mem cards. I'm talking about having to buy an outboard screen so that I can use these cameras. Bad decisions by the manufacturer instantly disqualifies these cameras for me. I don't need to see other spec. I don't tolerate bad design or equipment that fights with me. I buy products that make my life easier and/or better. I would consider these cameras as prototypes, not ready to be placed in the market. Also, these cameras need a built in connector to attach pro gear through an add on module that I call a brick which would include 1 T mem. XLR connectors, extra battery and outboard power. The brick would cost extra but would connect to the camera directly without cords. These companies forget that buyers have the last "NO!" Good video. Keep up the good work.

Something you didn't touch on was lens availability. The Z8 has many more lenses available for it, including a wide range of zoom lenses, from a wide variety of manufacturers. With the Fujifilm camera, you're limited to the lenses made for it by Fuji. And those lenses are significantly more expensive than lenses for full frame cameras. Something to consider.

Good , but no surprises here… a flagship large format camera has better image quality than a full frame camera. I doubt anyone is cross-shopping these two cameras. Love my GFX100 II. So very good, provided it is used within its limitations. I haven’t owned a Nikon since the Z7… something a bit too harsh about the image left me wanting… And that’s not to say it’s a bad image. It’s down to personal preference. I’ll be curious to see how the Red acquisition plays out. Interesting times. I recently picked up the Sony A9 III… it’s an amazing camera. The A9 III marks my return to the Sony fold.

Great comparison video, Jay! If I could offer a small bone to pick with you though, and coming from a full-time commercial photographer and filmmaker, the edginess of your music selection - for such a long video - is too bright and distracting, which not only doesn’t fit the context of the content, but gets really annoying after a while . . . And makes it tough to concentrate on your VO. Something more mellow, and with less edge or brightness, would really be a better fit in general - much less for longer vids like these. Otherwise everything else is on-point! ✌🏻

For Fuji description doesn’t tell if you set focus priority over speed and what kind of eye priority was chosen. It changes a lot. Turning AF+MF off helps to exclude out of focus shots too. By default GFX doesn’t have the best settings for precise focusing. Also you compare top of the line Nikon 50/1.2 lens with old average 63/2.8, while 55/1.7 is the newest and most sharp lens for GFX. Not all GF lenses have the same focusing speed, LM lenses are faster, so there is no direct competitor for 50/1.2. For existing users this review doesn’t show anything new, and new users don’t know what’s going on behind the curtains. Dynamic range test is not correct to my eye and doesn’t show how much better 16-bits files are. It’s just an opinion, thanks for video. At the end have to say they both behind the old Canon R5 in terms of AF quality.

It's worth noting that the Fujinon 63mm lens is one of only two lenses (I think?) in the entire GFX line-up that use a stepping motor. Most of the others, including the 110/2 use linear motors. The autofocus on the stepping motor is slower and noisier than the other lenses. It's entirely possible that it wouldn't have had any impact on the hit rate in your photo mode autofocus test, but as GFX 100 lenses go, the 45/2.8 and 63/2.8 will be the weakest AF performers. Also, in your list of codecs, you mentioned n-log for the Nikon, but didn't mention F-Log and F-Log 2 which are both supported by the Fuji. Of course, you also glossed over (I think?) some of the negatives of the Fuji a bit in the feature comparisons - like despite that the GFX 100 II supports 8K recording, it has to go to 1:1 pixels for it which results in cropping down to a smaller image area than a FF sensor. This can actually be kind of handy, like if you want to shoot with Laowa Nanomorphs, but it's almost certainly not what people think of with a 44mm wide sensor. The highest resolution using the full sensor width is 5.8k and that's at 2.4:1.

I think the issue here is that you're looking at high quality on your cpu. The GFX is very out of focus in both stills af test and video test. I think stopping down the lens 2 stops would help it tremendously b/c that shallow depth of field is not helping it. As for still detailed shots, the GFX tuns away with the double mp. However image quality imo goes to the Nikon. The pictures just look better. I think the GFX needs to be 50mp. I'd use the 100mp for shooting clothing, jewelry and tiny bugs. The Z8 I'd use it for portraiture, weddings, and everythings else. 8K 60fps internally 😅 but it seems you have like 50 comments telling you this is hilarious 😂 Don't let them get you down, you're with the hot model. It's hard to tell looking through YT. But based on YT compression, I give the nod to the Nikon Z8.

It’s heavy and bulky with gf lenses to carry around, and slow for sports and wildlife if sometimes I like to experience it! But it seems Z8 is all in one camera. The only matter important to me is if I switch to Z8, with 14bit and 45mp, could I achieve the same high images quality (detailing, colour rendering, and deep dynamic range) by gfx100s with 16bit and 102mp?

⁠@@mrz1342he means that you will not achieve the same “technical” image capture with the Nikon setup, since a lower bit-depth (14bit) is far fewer colors, and the smaller sensor and pixels of the Nikon mean less effective resolution and less color accuracy at the pixel level. Aesthetically: on a computer monitor, other than color science and DOF, you might not see a big difference between Nikon and GFX files. In print, and with a printer capable of handling 16bit files, you’ll most definitely see the strength of GFX over Nikon. So, no - you ultimately cant “match” the image file aesthetics of a Nikon to a GFX. The GFX wins handily in almost every technical category, and will produce technically better images in the hands of someone capable and experienced. But if all you do is pixel-peep, then the Nikon is enough.

Comparing two cameras with different resolutions at 100% will be unfair to the higher res one as you are magnifying the image more.

Why are people adding the word “Point” after the word Price. In all my 68 years we never spoke like that. The word point is unnecessary. It brings nothing to the sentence.

@TheSlantedLens 7 ай бұрын
Here is an answer I googled: "What is the difference between price and price point? Price is the actual amount of money given in exchange for a product/service. Price point, on the other hand, is a point on a scale of possible prices for a product."

I'm not sure what these camera companies are doing now. I don't like the image quality coming from any of these new cameras. The best image quality I've seen, from digital cameras are the Nikon D200, Df, and D3s, Leica M10, M10r, Q, and SL, Hasselblad H4D 40mp, H5D 50mp, and H6D 100mp, PhaseOne IQ2 60mp, IQ3 100mp, and IQ4 100mp, Samsung NX500, and Canon 5D I think the minimum pixel pitch for high quality APS-C and Full Frame sensors is above 6 microns. I think for full size medium format like the H6D is over 4 microns. The Samsung NX500 seems to be the only camera with a small sensor that is just stupidly gorgeous with 3.61 microns. But that makes me believe the other companies are holding back.
