Fujifilm GFX 100S II Review

[ad_1]

Introduction

The GFX 100S II is the seventh medium-format mirrorless camera that Fujifilm have released since 2019, and as the name suggests, the fourth to have a massive 100 megapixels. It uses a completely new 102 megapixel high-speed image sensor called the “GFX 102MP CMOS II” and the very latest X-Processor 5. This is not a high-speed sensor like the one used in the GFX 100 II, but Fujfilm claim that it does offer very similar image quality. The sensor inside the GFX 100S II physically measures 43.8×32.9mm, which is much larger than the 36x24mm sensor found in a 35mm full-frame camera – approximately 1.7x larger in fact. As well as more resolution for bigger prints and aggressive cropping, the large sensor format promises to deliver better image quality and greater depth of field without compromising too much on the size and weight of the camera when compared to a typical 35mm model. It has exactly the same body as the original GFX 100S, except for the new Bishamon-tex textured covering which enhances the grip strength at various angles when holding the camera. The weight has still been reduced from the previous version, with the GFX 100S II weighing in at just 883g, making it the lightest model in the GFX series. It features five-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) which provides a compensation rating of up to 8 stops when certain specified lenses are used. There’s also an improved eletrconiv viewfinder (EVF) with a magnification of 0.84x and 5.76 million dots, special 400 megapixel Pixel Shift Multi-Shot mode, AI-based subject-detection AF developed with Deep Learning technology, twenty film simulation modes, up to 7fps continuous shooting speeds, 4K/30p recording and dual UHS-II SD memory card slots. The Fujifilm GFX 100S II is priced at £4999 / €5499 / $4999 body-only in the UK, Europe and USA respectively. It is designed and made in Japan. The new MHG-GFX S metal hand grip optional accessory enhances the grip and stability when shooting with larger telephoto lenses and also improves convenience when using a tripod.
