Fujifilm GFX 100s Review

[@fugazi1479]

I've seen many GFX 100s reviews, but this is the one that actually convinced me to order one for myself. Fujifilm America, let this guy keep the GFX 100s--he's an awesome sales person. Thank you for this informative yet "emotional" review, Chris. Hello from an X-PRO3 shooter who lives in Seoul, Korea.

...and? how do you like it?

How do you like it

[@Joe8211943]

This is, without a doubt, one of the best, if not the best, videos I've ever seen about a camera. No annoying, extraneous talking-just straight-forward, clear, concise information. I want to be taught about a camera, not to be entertained. Almost all of my questions and concerns about the camera were discussed and answered to my satisfaction.

[@bisharabdi6488]

There's a zero chance of me buying this camera but I watched the whole video because Chris is not just a reviewer, he's a teacher. I now know what a medium format camera is. If this world was fair Chris would have millions of subs. Thank you, man.

[@chuckm482]

I agree. I can't believe he doesn't have 1.5 Million subs ... at least! For me, though, there's a VERY STRONG chance of buying this camera.

[@chuckm482]

CORRECTION! I JUST received my new GFX100S yesterday. Waiting for the 45/100mm lens coming in tomorrow! :)

[@janemilloy3678]

It is wonderful to hear that Fujifilm North America has recognised your skill and knowledge of fuji gear and thus, provided you with a medium format GFX 100s. As always, a fantastic review!

[@pal2tech]

Thank you very much! Really appreciate it!! 🙏 🙏

[@wayneJohnsPhotographer]

If you like the 80mm then you need to try the 110mm F2.... even better. ;). I’m a Fashion & Beauty photographer, and also Fujifilm Ambassador over here in the UK, and the GF110mm F2 is my favourite lens of all for my work. Great channel by the way - you do the system justice. 😁

Thanks Benjamin!!

[@ryancamacho7433]

That last segment! I wonder how this would turn out if you have the appropriate time to review the products. Been a fujifilm user of X100F and xt3 now you convince me to buy and order this camera before an upcoming trip next year! More power pal2tech!

[@fahertyfilms]

Thank you for saying you are tired of hearing that “smartphones are the only camera you need”. I also hate when people say that and nobody has said it before

[@tammysypniewski1891]

The camera and lenses look amazing! It’s nice that Fuji has recognized you Chris! You made the medium format sound so exciting!

It really is! Awesome to see you here at mah channel!!! 👍

This was one of the best reviews I've ever seen! Thank you so much for your great video, it really helped me make a decision.

I am seriously considering buying this camera and this was the most useful review by far. THANK YOU!

[@joejojo5966]

one thing about the medium format is that it slows your shooting down and helps you think about your shots more.

Thanks a lot for this video Chris!!! Watching your reviews is always a pleasure and a great learning experience. I hope Fujifilm USA will keep lending equipment to you so we can benefit from more and more reviews. I think the GFX100S is an incredible camera and I even considered buying one for a while, but then I remembered I am an amateur photographer and the XT4 is already too much for my level 😊.

i am X-H1 user love its ergonomics and toughness. Would love to add this as its bigger bro after a year. this gfx100s is comparatively reasonable priced that many other brand medium formats

[@dominicsianez3409]

16:00 when he zoomed out my jaw DROPPED because i didn't realize he was zoomed in, it looked that good

[@PetePhotographer]

Love to hear that the camera is a real camera and an A+. I love that you have to know what you are doing . As a Seasoned pro who Learned on film at Uni it sounds like We need to do things right or as they say simply shoot professionally. In the not so distant past I had to get things right on a single exposure with no ibis or eye tracking or exposure simulation display too easy. On a 102mp Med format Who honestly cares about video?

[@anatomicshutter3975]

Finally!! The video we've been waiting for hehehehhe

[@daycube8506]

Best review for this camera i've seen.

[@pal2tech]

Thank you!!!! 🙏

[@Mowikan]

I tested this camera also and it is a beast. But to be honest this camera is build for photography. It can do video but I wouldn’t be my first choice. For landscape and studio work like portraits and product shoots its great. For architecture it would also be a great cam but then you need a good tilt and shift option like a lens a something from Cambo. You can create billboards with this thing. I really mis the vertical grip for fashion shoots. And the 110mm f2 is the most beautiful portrait lens I ever used! Try to use it if you can sometimes. This camera is the best answer for the ridiculous expensive Hasselblad’s. I ended up with a lumix s1r for my quick studio work because the other gfx100 is to bulky. Great review and thx again!

[@georginaceri]

Thank you! Great review!

[@Photojouralist123]

Both my wife and I bought the GFXS 100 and a several GF lens. We love it 😍 and now the Leica SL2 will be in cold storage for awhile

[@borromine]

Great review. I love my 50S, but this camera looks like it replace the Pentax 67 in my heart. I have been missing the Pentax ever since I sold it. I also have long wanted a 617 camera. The 100S is almost as good as the Fuji 617 and 200 times easier and cheaper to use. I like the Fuji X series but ibis in a 100 mb sensor is heaven. Now I have to learn to take decent photographs. That’s the hard part.

[@fredericdirosa5863]

Great job Chris. Words fail me to congratulate you !

[@JohnMurphy-w2n]

[@jean-michelargentin5465]

Yes I love you man😂. A+ on the Fuji GFX 100s I’m very pleased.. If I was to get it I would only need the 80mm f1.7 and the 45mm for my studio portraits. Thank you for that exquisite review.

[@rgwightman]

Great review. I’ve been shooting with this camera for a couple months and you said it perfectly - “it’s camera, and a joy to use”. I do treat it with more respect and have become more picky on what’s in the frame before shooting. Not sure why, - it just feels like a camera. Still love my iPhone, but the iPhone is not my camera.

been waiting for months for THIS review! I was also happy to see Hugh Brownstone take a stab! I'm in love with the IQ. What a great video, love you so much. Now I'm going to wait for the new GFX50 and maybe XH-2. While I love this so much (dream photo cam) I want a bit better in video...yes it can record ProRes RAW like my FX3 but clearly, it's line skipped/pixel binned because it's so massive to bring down to only 4K. I'm in love with my FX3. That said I love Fujifilm a lot. Even my X-S10 has made me a believer. They really have some special sauce!!!

[@imizain]

Thanks for the review...

[@daxvolfan]

Unless I win the lottery or find that rich, long lost uncle, this will never be in my budget. But I do enjoy watching reviews on it, just to see where Fujifilm is heading with technology and such. Well done, thorough review as always. Now back to my lowly XT-3 lol.

[@ivancardoso7991]

Great camera, hopefully I can afford it one day 🥳

[@danielschmaderer]

Han didn’t even give Greedo a chance to shoot. Great video! Also, sensor size is something people forget about when saying camera phones can replace an actual camera. Even a micro 4/3s camera will give significantly more detail than the newest smartphones out there. My XT4 smashes detail out of the water compared to my iPhone 12 Pro. Phone cameras are great for convenience and portability, not for detail, basic camera customization via iso shutter and aperture, and professional work. This is always forgotten when the next new phone comes out.

[@arunvargis]

Waiting for this video...☺️☺️☺️👍👍

[@seikibrian8641]

If I were to get this camera, I'd have to adjust my frame of reference for which lenses do what. Although it's considered a "medium format" camera, the sensor is smaller than the normal medium format film sizes I used to use, which ran from 6X4.5cm to 6X7cm and larger. So this camera's sensor, at 43.8X32.9mm, is to medium format film what a "crop sensor" camera is to "(35mm) full frame." There is a 1.37 crop factor compared to 6X4.5 and a 1.6 crop factor compared to 6X7.

[@ryantaylor5297]

I love these cameras. Personally I can’t afford any Fuji, but if Fuji had some sort of in-house financing, I’d probably grab one in a heartbeat. The 80 1.7 looks so perfect. Just hard to have 10k liquid cash in this economy at my age.

[@saidherrera4364]

me agradan bastante tus reseñas esta estuvo increíble, buen trabajo y gracias por compartir 👍🏼

[@jorgemoro5476]

Own both a 50r and the 100s. I enjoy both but I just love my 50r. The shutter clunk not only reminds me of my film Mamiya 645 but it also scares away other photographers who sway too close. Hahaha!! I use three lenses- 30mm, 45mm and 100-200. I also have an adapter for my old Minolta lenses the best IMO being my Minolta Rokkor 58mm 1.4!!!!

[@claudianreyn4529]

I used the 45mm F2.8 with manual focus for video and it's amazing.

[@qdogg290]

Glad Fujifilm has recognized a fine KZbinr. I may give into the Medium Format temptation when the 50S II comes out with the 35-70 (of unknown aperture) "kit" lens. The bundle is expected to cost $4500. At which point, MF will be difficult to resist. Still, I don't know how I'll adjust to the weight. Never thought I'd go beyond the XT-3 and 16-55 f/2.8 when it comes to heft.

[@el_fucko]

Did you ultimately wind up getting the 50s II?

[@REMRODFILMS]

Low flash sync speed is not an issue. If you are using a flash then your flash speed is what you use for exposure... so the sync speed is moot

[@TedNghiem]

I have the gfx 100s and assorted prime lenses from Fuji. I was already in the system since 2018, so I traded in my 50s and other stuff to get the 100s. It's a great great camera that I use for my commercial and editorial work. But it is pricey.

Hi Chris, I hope you haven't given up any more XT4 videos / reviews. Yeah, the medium format Fuji cameras are nice but with its price, weight / bulkiness and limited features it's not the camera for me and probably not for others too. Thanx for all your videos / reviews.
