[@marcash9767]

Best review of seen so far. Glad ive got in on preorder

[@vistek]

Marc, thank you so much for your great and supportive comment! I really appreciate it. I know a few photogs like yourself who have ordered it and are salivating while they wait to take posession. You'll love it, I'm sure! - D

[@marcash9767]

@@vistek Ive already got the 50s so im looking forward to that faster AF and IBIS, sounds like a beast compared to the 50.

Great Review!!!

Thanks so much for the support Faustino!

[@smallbrownfox594]

Really good review, thank you.

[@vistek]

Thanks so much for the kind words Nigel!

[@Mowikan]

Great review!

[@PaulSafford]

Dig the positive review, especially since I just got one. Regarding image circle, some of the EF lenses from Canon work with a straight on adapter. My pancake 40mm from Canon works flawlessly using the Viltrox EF to GFX adapter.

This is the first review of this camera I've seen done by a real working professional photographer.

[@vistek]

Thanks a ton for your comment CBD! Really appreciate the support.

[@juliussternfeld428]

Very informative, well done 👍.

[@vistek]

Thanks for the comment Burak! Really appreciate that you took the time to show support!

[@nicochiarappa9314]

Nice and honest review..

[@vistek]

Thank you Nico! Really appreciate that you took the time to share your opinion.

[@johaninho3]

I like the intro colouring and vibes.. Any tips how to recreate it? :D

[@vistek]

Hi Johan! Thanks for the comment. It's just a VHS effect. Easy to recreate in Premiere. Just search for it on KZbin - that's what I did.

[@harrylangdon491]

That premista lens for cinematography is available for pre-order (August 2019 delivery) for a mere $38,800. Buy it in NYC and pay additional $3400 sales tax.

[@jensgerber]

You can use Canon TS-E lenses, the Image circle fits perfect, especially for architecture photography very interesting!!!

[@vistek]

While that's possibly true, it still doesn't serve the need of cinematographers who require all the specific design elements of a dedicated cinema lens. For the record, Sigma ART lenses also fit this sensor - but again, they're photo lenses.

[@morningquickieswithruiin5548]

Great vid, thanks.

[@vistek]

Thank you for taking the time to comment!

[@starlight7830]

You vid, is the only vid on KZbin that talks about buffer clearing ! Wow 1 Minute to clear the buffer! That's how fast my 11 megapixel Canon 1Ds clears the buffer!

[@vistek]

Thanks for the comment SL. To be fair, as I mentioned in the video - I was using a 90mb/s card. You really need a 300mb/s card for this camera. The buffering significantly improves with faster media. Also - it's a huge sensor, so even using a slow card, 1 minute to clear the buffer is still wildly impressive IMO.

[@manglicmotable]

I don’t know who’s the engineer you talk to that the vertical grip is more on aesthetic. It was designed to dissipate heat especially when shooting 4k 16bit raw. Sony has that problem does put limitations on how long to shoot 4k video. Same principle as attaching aluminum to computer processors to draw out heat.

[@happygarden9970]

Good review, but it would have been nice for you to stay longer in Tokyo, all that good food in the back streets...:)

[@phynx2006]

Great review, looks like a very interesting camera, can't wait to see how it performs once released to the public, if anyone can afford to buy it hahaha

[@vistek]

Thanks for the comment! Yes, we're eagerly waiting to see what will come of this camera too.

[@JosephOlar]

Their are some good valid points and challenge hope they are listening to whatever grip and goods comes out of all the professional opinion

[@vistek]

Thanks a ton for your comment Joseph! Agreed!

[@harrylangdon491]

This and one other video I've seen are miles ahead of other introductions to the camera. In terms of market, I believe besides obviously professionals, there will be huge demand from the baby boomers who have plenty of "hobby" cash and are always looking for something new, bigger and better (this is not a put-down). Putting myself in that category, I ordered from B&H June 18 and there is neither hide nor hair of my camera (I stocked up on three Fujinon lens from various sources). They have not debited my credit card. My hunch is Fuji understated demand for this monster and is running the factory 24/7. Would be curious for any info on that. Fuji has an inflating problem, but a good one for them.

[@vistek]

Thanks for your great comment Harry!

[@AhBeeDoi]

I wish I had the cheddar for the new Fuji 100. I'll be stuck with my Pentax 645D for a while.

[@Bryan-lu4du]

The Leica SL has 4.4 million dots EVF

[@TheAries93]

The only problem I have and what prevents me from picking up one in a heartbeat, is to open annother line of new lenses... Having nearly everything from Nikon I want it is nasty to buy 3-4 lenses again and even worse have them as additional luggage. Switiching completely is also not an option, because there is a real need for "normal" DSLRs in my workflow. Most Jobs I accomplish with 24 and less MP, where even my D850 is too hefty. But für exhibition work, art and large printinted commercial the GFX 100 would be a welcome addiition.

[@vistek]

Thanks for your comment Roman!

[@shaun8666]

200mb RAW files? I think you were shooting RAW uncompressed, it will be 100MB lossless compressed files when the setting is adjusted.. still big files but its a 100 MP camera, no one expects 5mb files natively

[@MrEchyballs]

thanks for sharing your one of real users .those review guys dont know what they talk bout

[@vistek]

Thank you so much Arlen! Really appreciate the comment!

[@asbinojha]

Why doesn't ff/mf camera manufacturers integrate at least 128 GB of UFS 2.1 or 3.0 memory..?

[@noobmusic1864]

What is the advantage of that?

[@LokkieF]

Holds it's value for a decade..? Are you really believe that? No digital camera has hold it's value for more than a few years.

[@Pentax67]

True but when you look like at dinosaurs like Nikon D3 D4 .. D1 . They are expensive even today . Yeah gfx 100 lost 55% of its value now . But being such a rare camera I’m more than sure it will gain the value later in the future

[@nocommentnoname1111]

24' commercial for Fuji.

[@sgroadie6367]

1/500s or faster on Hasselblad? You need to work on your camera craft. 1/focal length works fine with MF cameras, including Hasselblads with huge mirrors. Come on guys, don't exaggerate.

[@GabrielScindian]

Those photogs need to workout. I carry a red dragon around the neck. Now that is a friggin workout.

[@mackrun7029]

How do you carry Sir Anthony Hopkins around your neck?

[@brucetrappleton6984]

Just a question: your video was shot with the shittiest camera you could find and not with the camera you are reviewing, right??? Please say yes!
