Fujifilm GFX 100S II | What's different from the GFX 100II?

[@keith-knittel]

Passed on the 100II due to the price, but the 100s II is very tempting! Thanks for the comparison video

[@cris_photography]

I agree! The things they removed aren’t that important to me - however the price is! Take care

[@andinov]

Why is every reviewer talking like the 100s didn't exist. They didn't reduce the size from 100II... it's just 100s with some minor improvements

[@cris_photography]

Sure

[@petefricklesome6499]

Tested both, side by side in a store with the 55/1.7. AF from the new S II is a totally different ball park. To be honest.

[@inquisitvem6723]

Is the viewfinder resolution in the s ii really that much different than the ii?

[@cris_photography]

@inquisitvem6723 HONESTLY? No

[@SDA-Sound]

Would love to know your thoughts on the Sii compared to the 100ii especially with that lens!

[@tombube49]

I preordered the 100S II (using the GFX50S and 50R Sinne 2019). I also shoot Weddings and couples and i m looking forward to the new AF capabilities. The 55 1.7 is a very slow lens with the old system. But the 110 is fast.

[@cris_photography]

Nice!

[@rhonaldjr]

You'll have a massive upgrade experience, enjoy 🖐🏻

[@aknopp]

I want to use the 100s II for video, but I’m concerned about pixel binning… Are there crop modes that aren’t binned?

[@cris_photography]

Hey there! Answered you on instagram 😉

[@rubiseltovilla1827]

Between this camera and the Hasselblad - which would you choose - and why - greetings

[@cris_photography]

Honestly haven’t used hasselblad cameras enough - and didn’t compare them side by side - to be able to tell. But I can say that Fuji’s got these GFX series cameras right after years of usage. Take care

[@nelsonclub7722]

How are you getting on with the new T+S lenses? I find them complex compared to others and the lack of a foot on the 110mm compared to the 30mm a little hard to bear with?

[@cris_photography]

I don’t use them much other than for specific RE shots where I need the close distance. But otherwise I find other lenses much easier and simple to use as well (like all TS lenses I’ve used in the past)

[@nelsonclub7722]

[@dukeofurl999]

Excellent comparison, thanks.

[@cris_photography]

My pleasure

[@matthewbushey9455]

Nice comparison review! I think this 100S II is a decent mid-level revision of the 100S; but it also falls short of the 100II in more ways than you mention . . . the lack of a (optional) vertical grip makes ergonomics for vertical shooting a pain, especially on a long shoot . . . SD cards, though more affordable, write/read painfully-slowly unless you spend a lot more $$$ for premium cards . . . the hand grip itself is deeper than the 50, but still small and uncomfortable for large hands and longer shooting sessions, as compared to the 100II (sans vertical grip). . . For basically the same IQ as the 100II, it's a great value - you won't get "$2.5K more IQ" out of the 100II -- but Fuji still really need to work on their ergo's for professional studio/location shooters . . . or just offer more functional vertical grip options on ALL models. I'd love to see a new GFX model that forego's the video capabilities; just strip it away, and give us a powerhouse photo-centric camera with IQ, speed, photo features, and ergo's - please Fuji, pretty please?!

[@cris_photography]

Good points 😉 thanks for sharing!

[@MarcAdesso]

Is there any real difference between the II's HS sensor versus the SII's? Just one FPS or genuinely slower readout?

[@tombube49]

Slower readout, but just a bit. I think it was mentioned at petapixel or fstoppers

[@platofong8264]

autofocus speed is really quite a bit better for 100 ii especially for tracking. I have tested both two cameras extensively in China for more than a week.

[@cris_photography]

Thanks Marc, both tom and platofong 8264 are correct in their answers. There are of course some differences that could be important to some and less to others. It is indeed true that the tracking works best on the 100 II and that the read out speed is slower, but personally I didn't notice enough of a difference to mention it (but again, it all boils down to what you need and what "slow" or "fast" means to you). Take care

[@MarcAdesso]

@@cris_photography I just got my SII, and so far haven't really noticed a difference.

[@SDA-Sound]

I held the two for 30 min the other day. Def differences, the viewfinder is a teensy bit clearer but smoother. All around def looks nicer although the Sii looks great as well. The 100ii has an awesome textured dark grey finish on the metal compared to a semigloss cheaper looking black on the Sii. The viewfinder doesn’t come off the Sii which sucks if you’re using it with an ext monitor for whatever reason. The Sii def feels lighter in hand with a lens and that seems like the perfect weight (Im 6’3” and have big hands even and the 100ii feels big). as far as $2500 price difference I dunno I think that’s a big spread just for 8k 30fps.

[@cris_photography]

Thanks for the additional feedback and info!

[@rubiseltovilla1827]

Do you think that in the photo it has the same quality as the gfx ll

[@cris_photography]

It is the same as the GFX 100 II yes

[@rubiseltovilla1827]

@@cris_photography Thanks for sharing - I would like to know if you think it has the same quality as Hasseblad or one surpasses the other - Regards

[@cris_photography]

@rubiseltovilla1827 I think the are very similar in terms of mp and quality, but you’ll want to check the lenses and that’s what will determine grandly the final IQ. But I think Fuji came a long a way and they make amazing cameras for the price point.

[@rubiseltovilla1827]

What opinion do you have of Hassblad - to tell the truth, it seduces me more

[@simontaylor8990]

hello thanks for clarifications - does it also de squeeze anamorphic lens like the GFX 100 11 ?

[@cris_photography]

It should yes

[@fastguitars4380]

On your next video, go ahead and talk about the Auto Focus. Let us know if its worse, or better, then the previous model.

[@cris_photography]

Duly noted 👍🏼😉

[@gurugamer8632]

Which is better Fujifilm GFX 100S II vs x2d?

[@cris_photography]

Good question! Didn’t test the Haselblad offering so I’d have to try it first 😉

[@helloianzakharov]

Color is better with Hasselblad, but AF and other features are way better with GFX

[@tigerareyouthere]

@@cris_photographyI’m also very interested in this comparison! One thing to keep in mind is that only the new V lenses from Hasselblad have faster autofocus (25, 38, 55, 90) on the X2D body. The other ones are still slow.

[@RyuTsuchiya]

@@helloianzakharovsame thought, but nobody uses standard out of the box color settings...you can adjust it easily on the Fuji

[@nevvanclarke9225]

Does it have same sensor as at 100 ii .....I currently have the 50s ii and really love it but want to upgrade the auto focussing the 100 ii is way too much in Australia

[@scotttucker9613]

Same AF performance as the 100 II. Very slightly different sensor in regards to read out speed it seems. IQ should be identical.

[@platofong8264]

@@scotttucker9613 definitely not the same for AF speed between two cameras. Noticeable better for 100ii if you shoot moving objects.

[@cris_photography]

Exactly, 2 things: slower readout speed and AF tracking. But like I said in another comment, it doesn't bother me enough to mention it (having tried both). Cheers!

[@helloianzakharov]

You have a much better buttons layout on 100II and as far as 99% of shots to me are in portrait orientation battery grip is crucial. There is no BG for S model.

[@cris_photography]

👍🏼 interesting!

[@jtes1442]

Plenty of CF express type B cards are cheaper or similarly priced to SD cards.

[@cris_photography]

Not the good ones (which is why you use those). And since i have prolly 30 SD cards having to switch to CF is utterly annoying and useless if I don’t do video - not to mention the adaptor needed to read that card format (my Mac has SD not CF)

[@jtes1442]

@@cris_photography Lexar, Sandisk, Delkin and Angelbird are not good?

[@dannyli9424]

to be honest, if anyone concerned about cost of memory card, he/she probably shouldn't be messing around wit the medium format system.

[@cris_photography]

@dannyli9424 dont think that’s the point. Having to have a mix of SD and CF makes no sense to me. There are plenty of capable SD cards out there can can easily work for this camera. CF is mainly used for video so here’s how I see it: Either you pour 2 SD slots or 2 CF slots and you change your setup once and your done. If I want to backup my photos I have to use 2 different cards… give me a break!

[@sigmundklaus]

this is like running through a spec sheet without telling which camera you are talking about... useless

Dipende ma di solito uso la serie XT (anche se ora sono quasi solo su Leica SL2s)

Un tuo parere, sono più belli i file che produce una Leica o una Fuji medio formato? Diciamo che sono orientato a questa combo. Leica riesco a provarla, i medio formato Fuji fatico
