GFX 100S Body - Black

The GFX100S sells for about $5,500 on sale. The GFX 35-70 lens is $500. In comparison, the Hasselblad X2D 100C (same sensor as the Fuji) will cost around $8k and you'll pay $3,500 for a 37-75mm zoom lens. $6k vs $11.5. Fuji managed to make a world class medium format digital camera at a price point that is more affordable than Hasselblad, and priced in the ballpark of what you would expect to pay for a full frame flagship camera body. The camera's interface is straight forward however some time should be budgeted to learn how the menu system and dials work. This is the same with most camera systems - they're not exactly intuitive until you use them for a while, and then they make a lot of sense. With Fujifilm's film simulations baked in, this camera is sure to please. They're more than just color profiles - the simulations respond like film, there are options to simulate grain - and there are also options to modify colors to enhance saturation and contrast. However, without the grain, I wouldn't suggest they look vintage - instead they look like photographs. If you process RAW, then none of this makes any difference anyway - however - the camera produces a compelling .jpg. It is important to mention that the presets created by Capture 1 and Adobe to match the camera's simulations are "close, but no cigar" - they did the best they could to reproduce the film simulations but they're not 100% accurate. Interestingly enough, you can reprocess the RAW files directly on the camera - and Fuji offers a program that will do this while the camera is connected to the computer. In other words, the camera is the "engine" of the film simulations. Most reviews cover the same details about this camera. The AF is better than the. 50mp model, the IBIS is effective, the AF isn't as fast nor accurate as a flagship full frame camera - but the pictures look amazing and beg to be printed 16x20 or larger. This camera won't disappoint, unless you are looking for a camera that will reliably AF on birds, race cars and footballers - at which point, medium format probably wouldn't be useful for you anyway.

I've shot medium format in the 80's. My last Film MF camera I sold in 2014. I've been shooting Fuji X since 2012. Now, I'm shooting with the X cameras, and the 50r and 100s. All I will say is I traveled over 13,000 miles through the Yukon, then Alaska from the Kenai all the way to Deadhorse/Prudhoe Bay. I came home with over 9000 raw files shot with the 100s, and then another 2000 or so with the 50r which is no slouch. The 100s performed FLAWLESSLY. Amazing image quality even handheld down to about 1/15th (my hands are not very sturdy) plus I was shooting, in July, at the Arctic Ocean in 33 degrees, snow and sleet. It's an incredible piece of equipment. Just fantastic. Not sure what else to add here but I do suggest you add a few extra batteries - I have four.

After many years of using Canon and Sony's FF cameras, this Fujifilm FGX 100S is my 1st medium-format camera which is absolutely the only one to bring out for my hiking and landscape photography tour. The most important features I like: 1) with extreme details of the picture, you can zoom in and zoom in, crop and crop with your computer, very flexible for your creative thinking. 2) fantastic dynamic range of colors and shades that no one of FF cameras can match. 3) a small yet strong camera body that is easy to carry daily. The only worrying issue I have is that the sensor is exposed to the air when you change the lens, so how to avoid dust is critical in the wild environment.

I purchased this camera in "Used - Like New" condition from Amazon Restore (formerly Amazon Warehouse). It arrived in horrible condition (the 180 deg polar opposite of "Like New"). For starters, it didn't work at all. Neither of the screens worked. There was something wrong with it electronicaly. But even if it did work, there was a SCRATCH on the live view screen (even though the "like new" description said "no scratches.") And there was a FINGERPRINT on the sensor itself. Who touches the sensor of a digital camera!? Naturally, the camera was missing the body cap (which might explain the fingerprint on the sensor). And it was also missing the CHARGER. And again, it didn't work. Who in their right mind at Amazon Restore could possibly label this as "LIKE NEW?" This is the condition I would expect to find at a pawn shop where the staff don't know anything about cameras. I hope Amazon takes the time to identify the staff member who inspected this item and classified it as "like new" and put them on a PIP, because they've embarrassed the Amazon brand.

If you are wanting to take your photography to the next level with medium format, and you can afford it, get this camera. I have several full frame cameras and the Fuji GFX 100S medium format is my go to camera now.

Good image quality but I had problem with high temperature. It is a big issue for the landscape photographs during a sunny day.

I did not know how good it was. But now I know, and I am a new man. Full lens functionality with Canon Full frame lenses via Fringer adapter only. But the cheapest Fujinon lens is only 499 and it is incredible.

Even though it is a very borderline medium format, the quality and sharpness, as well as the dynamic level, are greatly improved compared to full frame cameras used before ( Leica q and EOS DSLRs) . Focus speed is one obvious drawback though. Don’t expect to use it for shooting any flying birds/ seagulls.
