[@nerucheung]

From someone who is used to the "hipster retro" look from Fuji, it's understandable that they don't like the design, but for someone like me that is a fan of "retro futurism" this camera looks unbelievable beautiful

[@CianMcsweeney]

I love both designs personally, way prefer the look of the leatherette on this than other Fuji cameras, looks far more refined

[@BigBenAdv]

Actually this GFX does have similarities to some of the old film cameras as well - the large 'prism' on top totally reminds me of my old Nikon F3HP, whilst the general angular design language is also a throwback to the older Fuji 645 medium format film cameras (which arguably, the GFX is).

[@styledbyraw]

Bro could legit have an astonishing career as a unit stills photographer. It’s been years and I’m still floored by your production quality.

[@derrenleepoole]

Fujifilm and any other camera brand should really watch your reviews and seriously get hiring you to shoot their promotional videos. Your reviews are insanely entertaining and interesting and so refreshing to watch and really shine a light on the quality of a product. Kudos.

[@DEADPEDAL]

Your filmmaking talent truly knows no bounds. Exceptional work.

[@JaymesMedia]

Thank God Fuji sent you this camera, your review of it is the only one I care for & trust.

[@QKvox]

I love all of these. The 2:1 aspect ratio is gorgeous

[@johnnyrocks9]

You have no idea of the anticipation I have for a new video from you, I'm just hyped. Please do more, I'm sick of Netflix and others boring content, you're the future of great cinematography and an inspiration to our craft.

[@_mixedsignals]

Honestly not trying to fight you -- i'm genuinely curious, as someone who works in more "traditional" film/tv content -- but why do you think Netflix is boring? Is it that the content is too homogenous? Or that you find short form content on YT to be generally more pleasing to consume?

[@samforster1794]

Aware you didn't ask me, but shall give my two cents anyway. Netflix has released some of the best series of all time, it just feels as though these days there's 15+ garbage shows for every 1 that's actually worth watching - almost making it feel like you're looking for a needle in a hay stack. I also feel as if Netflix is still relying way too heavily upon viewing levels on great shows that are now 3 to 7 years old. Narcos, Prison Break, Breaking Bad, the list goes on. Ultimately I think Netflix still releases shows with insane popularity, just with noticeably fleeting regularity these days. @@_mixedsignals

[@samforster1794]

Plus as you say, there's still a lot of people who will happily sit down and watch films with 120min+ run times, but it seems as if the vast majority of individuals are flocking towards short format content - Tiktok/Instagram etc with 30 second run times. Inevitably attention spans to watch Netflix shows/films will continue to deteriorate. @@_mixedsignals

[@SamuelJamesVideos]

@@_mixedsignals I'll chime in and say that most modern content is just too cookie cutter and toothless. The reason people love things like short form and reels is because it's real. There's life and a sort of patina to the content. Things like netflix and hulu lack this because everything is just made and meddled with by a board of suits trying to maximize profit and appeal to the widest audience possible to rake in the almighty dollar on a mass scale. It's the same problem that most subjects funnel down to now a days - greed ruins everything. You can't create art if all you're worried about is "how many people will pay to watch this?"

[@johnnyrocks9]

It's just unoriginal stories with random directing and art direction, everything is built as a product to be marketed, and not as a story that's interesting and entertaining. Oh and also woke shit, all, the, fucking, time. I want to watch a good film, no be lectured about gays and black, I'm already not homophobic and not racist so shut the fuck up. There is also no cinematography anymore, no composition, no character, no pace, just a show or a movie that will do well in a trailer for KZbin to hype people but it's actually empty. Is that enough ?

[@mrjarjar1018]

Your video's are the only video's that actually make me put things aside to watch. I truly just turn off the lights, put on the ambient lighting synced with my screen and put it on full screen and enjoy. LOVE IT

I dont konw why, but your pictures are really clicking with something deep in me.

[@paoloviloria1]

GxAce is so forward thinking, intro-ing the product at the past-tense, knowing this video will be a good reference to what is currently a cool camera, and will continue to be a cool camera several years into the future. His talent for photography and video makes an awesome complement.

[@DukeNukemFl]

I saw this and immediately thought, oh no another Fuji I won't be able to afford or find now. But I will desperately want because of your videos.

When a thorough passion for cinema and photography is combined with a highly intelligent individual and pushed through a cyberpunk esthetic filter we get these masterpieces. Not only is your work interesting on its own, you show that there is alternative to the boring standard format of photography youtube. Bravo.

[@iammatthenry]

man this is so good. Stoked for Fuji and what they continue to do. I'm a big X series shooter and just bought into the GFX line with the 100S. So I'm even more pumped about what is coming out and the future of FujiFilm. Love your videos and how you lay it all out. Such a good watch and refreshing to see. huge fan!

[@scottedwards5191]

Dude - this is a brilliant review. I'm EXCITED. I love my 100s but, still, I'm excited about what Fuji has done. But the main reason for my post is that I've so appreciated so many of your reviews and videos. You find gems (cameras and lens) in a pile of old debris and make them shine. All the more, now, with the emergence of this Super Camera, which seems a perfect fit for your unique style of shooting and film. Bravo!

[@MrBarenkamp]

I am amazed that such high quality content still exists on youtube. A real blessing, a welcome experience and very inspiring.

[@ramonmartinezcabada6762]

You inspire me every single time. It's not often said that the art and set design of your videos is one of the best parts.

[@Nothingz3dge]

If they built an actual cinema camera with their sensors and color science, I feel like it would explode in popularity. The image out of Fujifilm cameras is genuinely incredible & their cinema lenses are awesome too.

[@romank90]

Compressed RAW is where the gane is at. Much more than anything else as video is heavily processed anyway

[@chickenpasta7359]

@@romank90 The problem with compressed RAW internal is that RED still holds patents for it. The only true compressed RAW you can get currently is ProRes RAW with the Ninja V and whatever cameras that still shoot cDNG, which are massive files. There's also Canon RAW found on their cine cameras. There's not a lot of good budget options. I had to end up buying Assimilate Play Pro to convert my Prores RAW files to cDNG for Davinci Resolve. RED is such a pain in this industry

[@JoseOchoita]

Incredible! I'm honestly surprised but extremely pleased to know that Fujifilm sent a camera to you for a first impressions video. And not any camera, just the brand new GFX100 ii. I can't think of anyone more deserving because you really changed and added a unique perspective to photography in KZbin. I used to be very interested in cameras but, due to different reasons, I don't watch photo content that often. However, I still enjoy well done, original pieces like the ones you make. And, mate, you've done it again. You skip technicalities and unnecessary tests and go directly to the experience of using a camera, all told creatively. I mean, I'm not that interested in sci-fi and here I am, excited and feeling part of a futuristic short film. Just amazing! That, I think, it's the best ad for photography that anyone could make. Keep doing your great work. EDIT: grammar

[@PedroDuarteFonseca]

Ah yes, a new camera movie review directed and produced by GXAce.

[@robvisualstreetphotography]

I own the little brother (GFX 50II) and it also delivers so good in conjunction with the IBIS that there is no need to buy anything else in the next years. The lenses are so well made and image quality is striking. I love what they do now. I also hope the next X cameras will follow this new path.

Your set choices...I mean how do you find these awesome little nuances of irregular goodness. More juice?...Yes please!

Amazing video, as always! 😉 it was nice meeting you in Stockholm

[@mwkcheng]

GFX 100 is a bit beyond my budget, but I was lucky enough to get hold of a secondhand 50R at a very low price. I have been using the Fujifilm digital cameras for over 20 years, and have been using the X-mount cameras for 10 years. Always love the "Fujifilm colours", but this time the GFX really took my photography experience to a new level. Amazing dynamic range. And with a larger sensor all these good lenses I have collected over the last few decades finally get to show their characteristics. Glad to see this channel finally talk about the amazing GFX camera system.

[@mahdimanesh4221]

I wish they will bring out a new 50R or 100r (50MP would be my preferred resolution) 😅I used the 50r with the 63mm and liked it a lot😊

[@brianmatiash]

“GFX100, the 2nd”. Brilliant. Another absolute stunner.

[@bbones3318]

Fuji historically made some of the best ever cameras like the GX680. They had a dull period when digital took over and it’s great to see them back at the top again.

[@mikafoxx2717]

Incredible that they just went for APSC and then went massive and made full frame look like a crop.

The world of the early 20s was not ready for the majestic GFX 100 ii. Thankfully, one man came forward to carry the mantle and withstand the burdens of perfection. That man, is GxAce.

[@bottledwaterprod]

This is the first video I went to after watching X-Summit. Glad to see I'm not the only one excited by the possibilities of this camera. Honestly, because money getting in the way of my creativity has always been a struggle, this camera feels unobtainable right now. Though there's always tomorrow. Maybe if I keep fighting the good fight, some day I'll be in a place professionally that I'll be able to use such a tool.

[@victorkreig6089]

Could do what I did with the gfx50 and just wait for the next model to come out to tank the price by a few thousand....granted I still ended up buying the 50SII anyway lol but that's due to poor impulse control

[@mikafoxx2717]

Don't let money limit your creativity. Find a way to get the result you want no matter the tool. I still use an old ass 5D original when I could have much better.

[@MrConduct]

Love your production style GxAce. So exciting to create with this powerhouse!

[@markmeszaros76]

I get goosebumps everytime I watch a Gx video. Glimmer of hope for photography👏

[@otter-pro]

I thought about upgrading to this camera while watching the video ... until I saw its price tag. It costs more than combined total of all of my family's cars. I think I'll keep my $200 EOS-M for now, but that fuji camera looks incredible.

[@mikafoxx2717]

The best money can buy isn't going to come cheap! I've got an RP and 40mm 2.8 is my favorite despite having used the sigma arts and other such stuff. There are older gfx second hand maybe for under 2k, but then add a lens to that..

[@MyMainTV]

This is incredible, such cinematography, the audio, the storytelling

[@stereoflash1]

BeautifuI camera and great Video as always gxace! For me this will be relevant around 2049 because of the price.. 8000€ is crazy even if the tech is mindblowing.. I'm still shooting on a Sony A7 Mark 1 exclusively with old glass and don't think I'm going to switch soon. I mean I could buy like 25 used Sony A7 for the price of the Fujifilm 😂

[@PascalLandert]

Hats off-this video is truly exceptional. The storytelling and cinematography are nothing short of extraordinary. Furthermore, your photography skills are truly commendable. As an ardent enthusiast of Japan (having spent a delightful five weeks there this April), I find myself even more enamored with your videos. In my studio, I rely on the GFX 50s, which has proven to be an unwavering workhorse. Its 50MP capabilities have been more than sufficient for my headshot photography business. However, I often find myself eagerly searching for justifications and opportunities to buy the GFX100 II. And you did not help with this video go ignore the voices in my head, who are yelling "buy it, buy it, buy it"... 😂

Do it, Sony is a joke by comparison and just like Nikon created it's market share through massive amounts of money dumped into marketing instead of actually making better quality products justifying their prices. That and the GFX system is so good it can basically use any lens in existence
