The megapixel count isn’t even the most shocking thing, the fact that the lens is so ridiculously sharp to that level of magnification is insane.

[@peoplez129]

Not exactly. Pixel shifting doesn't increase lens resolving power, it takes multiple shots with the sensor shifted. So if this was a 400mp camera rather than a 100mp one, the results would be worse. It's all semantics though, because with any camera you can get this level of detail, it just takes more work and stitching shots.

[@ItsPinecone_911]

Agreed bro.

[@ilyasnamozov2914]

lens generates a flow of light. it can't be sharp or not sharp. any lens that is focused on something gives a light. the main work is to absorb the most of this flow of light in a small amount of time on a surface. thats where MP counts. so its fully the work of matrix

[@Nobody-Nowhere]

It essentially halves the pixel pitch from 3.7 to 1.8.. you need 190lp/mm to utilize 1.8micron pixels. Its pretty much the best that current optics can possibly do. The largest noticeable effect comes from having full RGB info. In bayer sensors the megapixel ratings are misleading, a 100mp bayer sensor is only 33mp sensor in color (rest is interpolated). One pixel is actually 4 pixels on the sensor. So the bayer sensor basically has 7.4micron pixels. Pixels that big only can utilize around 50lp/mm resolving power from the lens. It does not go exactly like this, as bayers are asymmetric.. having twice as many green pixels as blue & red pixels.

[@Nobody-Nowhere]

@@ilyasnamozov2914 eat less acid :) its exactly the lens that can be sharp. MP only defines the image size. Its about the pixel pitch & lens resolution.

Sometimes higher resolution isn't the answer for everything. It's perfect for digitizing paintings but sometimes lower resolution but much higher image quality per pixel is much more important at getting an amazing image. That's basically how ari cinema cameras work. The old ones might not be able to shoot at 8K but the 1080p footage that comes out of these sensors is just amazing and very realistic.

[@edwardnoble9897]

I'm surprised that Fuji and Sony actually state the full RGB resolution for this rather than greyscale like tye standard resolution. For example the Sony A7R4 takes 16x 61mp to use 976mp from the beyer sensor. Since it is combining each 4 images into a true 61mp RGB 4 times on a computer and then multiplying that by 4 it ends up as 244, in the same way this Fuji is doing 407mp. That's pretty impressive. Finding lenses to resolve that detail whilst requiring a completely still subject and an extremely sturdy tripod is the challenge tho.

Happy to see this video online. I purchased GFX 100 last year. Although i expected a 4K 60 Fps update since its advertised strongly as a Video camera as well it seems its not happening. Nevertheless its an amazing piece of technology. Do you believe that Apple DOES NOT SUPPORT GFX100 raw files yet.? The dual batteries are somehow not as good as the Sony Zs so I strongly advise at least 3 pairs for a days work. The camera and lenses are surprisingly light compared to their volume plus weather resistant. If you want to take this camera on a trip then make space for a medium to large backpack to accommodate enough padding for protection.

Since it takes 16photos i guess it also produces 1:1 RGB colour without debayering needed. That is why the images are so crisp. If that is the case, it can also produce more than 400mp images. Or 1:1 may be applicable to 100MP images. Hasselblads have this double function. You can check their implementation and see if there is something similar in the Fuji.

Was always wondering if the opposite of pixel binning was possible. Now we just need an app for that.

[@terriplays1726]

Many flagship android smartphones do pixel binning. The crazy Megapixel numbers the advertise are binned to a resolution that is more in line with the optical quality of the lenses by default. Shooting RAW binned images is not so useful since the Bayer filter makes binning non-trivial. On monochrome cameras it can be done, we have a monochrome camera at work that we often use with pixel binning.

We have the fuji gfx 100 at work since last week but I didn´t have the time to test the pixelshift option myself.

I have the same issue with mine and I thought it was user error. To be fair I have to pixel peep at insane zoom levels to notice them, so unless you are goint to print a 10m print you might not notice it.
