Best review on the gfx system I have seen. Well done ladies

[@WilkinsonCameras]

Wow, thank you! 😊

[@RayLombardi]

Thank you girls! What a very impressive, entertaining and well throughout review! You've asked us 'what do we think'? I've been in photography for nearly 3 decades. Started with film(Nikon F5) and moved to digital at almost the same pace as time moved on. Today I still have my Nikon F5 and mostly favour digital with the Nikon Z9. I had my eye on the Fujifilm digital medium format since day one, but thought they could do better. Time usually fixes that and with the launch of the Fujifilm GFX 100 II there isn't a doubt in my mind that the time has finally come. To that end, I ordered mine promptly, with 4 lenses that suit my needs and started shooting like there is no tomorrow!...because there may not be! LOL. I am not a professional(I used to be). I am a very serious Amateur with access to credit loans! LOL I am using the camera mainly for Street Photography and it is absolutely incredible! What Fujifilm have done with this camera really and truly is, bringing Medium Digital Format 'to the masses'...that can afford it and, most importantly, are willing to spend the money. In any case, loved the video, love the camera! Cheers, Ray.

Yes i agree i have seen every review out there more than once and am a 100s shooter for years and your review is the best!

[@WilkinsonCameras]

Thank you! 😊

[@Snapit551]

You two ladies are as awesome as this gfx 100s ii camera with your reviews 👌👏🏻📸 I used to watch wex camera videos for reviews but you both smash the scene with your excellent presentation skills so well done and keep it rolling ladies 🔥

[@WilkinsonCameras]

Wow, thank you so much for such lovely feedback 😊 So glad you enjoy our videos. We’re always thinking of new ways to improve and keep them interesting. Comments like this make all the hard work that goes into these videos worth every second. Thanks for watching!

this channel is quickly becoming one of my favorite review channels keep up the great work

[@WilkinsonCameras]

Wow, thanks! More exciting videos coming this year, stay tuned! 😆

[@kaushikparmar6992]

Great review! You have managed to take stunning photos, and the video clips are incredibly soothing and impressive. This camera is a game-changer for Fujifilm, and it will undoubtedly give competitors a tough time. Fujifilm has done an excellent job with all the video features, and they deserve full marks for it. Other companies will now have to follow Fujifilm's footsteps. As a proud owner of various Fujifilm cameras, I have been using them for over 25 years now. Although I loved using Fujifilm GFX 100S, this new GFX 100SII is the ultimate camera!

[@FilmScape4K]

Great job Alex and Olivia! Best review of the camera so far. Fujifilm should have used you guys to launch the gfx 😊

[@WilkinsonCameras]

Oh wow, thanks so much! We massively appreciate the compliment and thanks for watching 😊

[@rickyjumpman1]

thanks for sharing. It's quite informative and also it have a lot of useful informations.

[@WilkinsonCameras]

Glad it was helpful! 😊

[@matt88169]

Great review thanks! Also, awesome camera-definitely watching Fuji closely as GFX evolves!

[@WilkinsonCameras]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching 😊 Most definitely an awesome camera, we both absolutely loved it and the image quality was just breathtaking!

[@chuckm482]

It HAS evolved!

[@barrie2504]

The massive improvement to auto focus over the 100 and 100S makes the upgrade a no brainer.

[@silverclifflightshow]

Good job great review just waiting on my camera to arrive this week 😅

[@WilkinsonCameras]

Thanks so much for watching! You are going to LOVE the camera. Let us know what you think when you've tried it out!

[@mikefernandeznyc]

Great Video review! Awesome job. What are your video settings for the samples shot? Flog2 and what else? ProRes...GF...35mm? Thank you!

[@Simon-Simon-Simon]

Hope they make a 50 or 60 in the same body ❤❤❤

[@michaelj7069]

Those parkade shots are amazing!!🥰

[@WilkinsonCameras]

Thank you! 😊

Love the GFX 100 II. Amazing camera and amazing review! :)

[@WilkinsonCameras]

It really is! We all truly loved using it and the results were just 😍 Thanks for watching!

[@rangererz]

@@WilkinsonCameraskeep them coming :)

[@Martinmkp]

You are a great team, this video is one of the best about the GFX100II 👌

[@WilkinsonCameras]

Wow, thanks! We loved filming and creating every minute of this video, especially using the GFX100 II! 😀

[@Martinmkp]

@@WilkinsonCameras I totally understand, yesterday was a month since I got the GFX100II too and it's incredible. The only problem that I noticed, and with me and many other photographers, is the graying and loss of the image in the EVF when the flash trigger is deployed. Do you also have this problem and what trigger are you using?

[@WilkinsonCameras]

@@Martinmkp sorry for the slow reply - had a lot going on as you’ll have seen with our latest releases! That’s really interesting… we didn’t notice that happening 🤔 We were using Elinchrom lighting with an Elinchrom Skyport trigger. We can ask the question at Fujifilm if you like? Can you just give a few more details about the experience. We may be able to get an answer.

[@Martinmkp]

@@WilkinsonCameras The problem is already solved, Fuji has released a new firmware

[@TylerMcCool]

Great video summary, thank you. Maybe I missed it, but can the camera be powered through usbc or the battery grip and not drain the batteries while in use / while filming?¿ 🙏

[@WilkinsonCameras]

Thank you! You didn't miss it, we didn't specifically mention it, but you can power using an external power source via the USB-C, including external power packs, etc. 🙂

[@108u9]

Hi did the model do her own makeup and styling? Really enjoyed and inspired by the stills and videos. Love to learn about the BTS of the shoot, how you guys directed the shoot etc. Thank you!

[@WilkinsonCameras]

Hi, so glad we’ve inspired you! We styled the shoot ourselves and directed an MUA towards the types of makeup looks we wanted. She got it spot on. You can find her on Insta @byshannonjohnston - would recommend if you’re Liverpool or surrounding areas. Ella, our model, works with me (Alex) and Olivia and the three of us make up the Wilkinson Cameras marketing team! This makes it very easy to work together because we get on very well and can come up with great ideas as a team. We had some looks and styles in mind, put some mood boards together, then did a big high street haul to finalise the looks for the day. We’d been told of a roof top car park location where you could see the Liverpool skyline so we started there - bonus points for it just being up the road from our Liverpool store & studio… but it turned out you couldn’t see the skyline because of the massive walls… but the great light that day (plus a reflector) shapes of the concrete and the fact that no one else had driven to the top floor meant it worked out really well anyway. We then did some bits on the street on the way to the studio and shot in the studio for a while with a few different outfits and light setups (including some nice coloured gels). Then I nipped into town while Olivia and Ella headed back to the car… we’d arranged to meet back up after unloading all our spare gear and get some golden hour shots around the city. But fate stepped in with the most magical lighting in the car park and I returned to an amazing set of photos and video. So we carried on shooting here until the light faded. Sometimes when you go out with a plan you’re either forced to adapt if it doesn’t work out or you naturally adapt to work with what the light and surroundings are doing… which is exactly what we ended up doing that day and it worked out so well 😊 Head over to Instagram to WilkinsonCameras and our sister account WilkinsonCamerasBTS where we’ll share more content from this shoot over the next few weeks (had a LOT going on the last few weeks so we’ve not even touched the surface on sharing the stills from this!) Hope that helps, please let us know if you want any more info, Thanks for watching! Alex | Wilkinson Cameras

[@Ancaja123]

The flash sync speed is 160, which for me might be a dealbreaker. Unless, does the exposure triangle change with medium format?

[@DavWoe]

How can you charge all three batteries at the same time? Do you plugin the whole camer with grip for charging?

[@WilkinsonCameras]

Hi, thanks for watching - yes, just charge it in-camera using the USB-C and a decent powered plug :)

[@FujixFan]

Sensor size is same as digital hasselblad x2d 😉

[@22tom66]

15:34 what gimbal using?

[@WilkinsonCameras]

We use the Zhiyun Weebill 2 🙂 Here's a link to some of our Zhiyun products if you wish to browse: www.wilkinson.co.uk/brands/zhiyun/

@@WilkinsonCameras thanks!

[@stevenlang7709]

How much does it cost with the grip?

[@WilkinsonCameras]

Please see the links in the main description for both the camera and grip - you’ll see the current price on the website 😊

[@perryvalton4245]

Image quality seems a little flat from 100 II.

[@stephenmuir5030]

Thank God it's not £7 000!

[@barryzee88]

Does Fujifilm gfx 100 II support wireless 5G ftp? Sony a1, a7rv, a7c and Canon r5 support 5g ftp 🥰🥰🥰Canon r6 supports only 2.4ghz ftp Disappointingly Nikon Z9 doesn't support wireless ftp at all 😂😂😂

[@WilkinsonCameras]

It’s IEEE802.11a / 5Ghz Wi-Fi with wireless FTP functionality. Just to confirm that the Nikon Z9 does support wireless FTP with its built-in wireless file transmitter and is also 5Ghz.

[@juliussternfeld428]

Check your facts. Current Hasselblads use same size sensor. It’s definitely the most versatile medium format camera, contenders are far behind.

[@TylerMcCool]

lol

[@FilmScape4K]

Sounds like you own one and is sour that this camera is better.

[@chuckm482]

You are absolutely correct about this GFX 100 ii. Contenders are WAY far behind!

[@LelleKidd]

Wrong, Fujifilm calls the format "more than full frame",

[@WilkinsonCameras]

Respectfully, we are correct - we’ve sold GFX for a number of years and as such have taken part in various sets of training, plus general experience. But for the avoidance of doubt, take a look at the Fujifilm press release for this model - linked below 🙂 fujifilm-x.com/global/global-news/2023/0912_4228581/

[@vorjay]

that's a marketing slogan not they actual category of mirrorless camera.
