![]() During our testing, we had to keep putting it down every 20 minutes or so to rest our aching fingers. That said, it’s still heavier than a full-frame camera and can get very tiring with prolonged handheld use. It measures 150x104x44mm, which is similar to a full-frame DSLR like the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV (measuring 150.7x116.4x75.9mm) and a little larger than the Canon EOS R5 (which stacks up at 135.8x97.5x88mm).Īt 900g, the body’s 500g lighter than the GFX 100 and that makes it easier to use outside of a studio – the usual haunt of a modern medium format camera. It has resulted in a body that’s shorter and slimmer than the other GFX models, one that can easily be mistaken for a full-frame camera. The new shutter unit and IBIS mechanism in the GFX 100S means Fujifilm has been able to relocate the battery to the single handgrip on the body, allowing it to lose the vertical grip under the body. Called “Nostalgic Neg”, it adds a slight amber tint to highlights and saturates some colours for a more retro look. The GFX 100S gets an additional Film Simulation mode, taking the count to 19. Where the GFX100S improves on the older camera is movie clip lengths – there’s now a maximum recording time of 120 minutes instead of 60 minutes.Īlthough the GFX 100S inherits the same max shutter speed, shutter mechanism durability and sync speed as the GFX 100, Fujifilm claims the new mechanism reduces lag to 0.07 seconds from 0.09 seconds. ![]() 16-bit RAW video recording is also available via HDMI to the latest Atomos Ninja V recorder. 4K/30p 10-bit 4:2:0 internal recording (with a bit rate of up to 400 Mbps) using the full width of the sensor is possible, along with the option of F-Log and HLG 10-bit 4:2:2 or 12-bit ProRes RAW to an external recorder – the same spec as its older sibling. ![]() While the GFX100S can capture 100MP images at bursts of up to 5fps with continuous autofocus, it’s also a capable movie camera. This lets the monitor move up to 90º upward, 45º downward and 60º to the side. That said, the rear LCD monitor is still the same 3.2-inch tilting touchscreen on a triaxial mount. To keep costs down, the Fujifilm GFX 100S gets a fixed OLED EVF with a resolution of 3.69 million dots and a magnification of 0.77x (as compared to the detachable 5.76-million dot EVF of the GFX 100). However, its additional directional movements take some getting used to. We’re calling it a ‘nub’ as it’s not as tall as the joysticks on the previous GFX cameras, and its small size means you’re not accidentally pressing it (which can reset AF-point selection or camera settings). Instead of the usual 4-way joystick controller on the rear, there’s an 8-way textured nub that allows for diagonal movements alongside the usual horizontal and vertical directions. ![]() There’s the usual 1.8-inch status display on the top for showing shooting parameters, but that can be customized to display the virtual dials that were introduced in the GFX 100. (Image credit: Rod Lawton/Digital Camera World)įor potential users who are keen to upgrade from their old systems to the GFX 100S, the addition of a regular mode dial will be a welcome relief. Instead of using the larger NP-T125 packs of the earlier GFX bodies, Fujifilm has opted to use the NP-W235 pack that debuted with the X-T4, though this does offer a CIPA rating of a reasonable 460 shots per charge. Thanks to the sensor and image stabilization combo, the GFX 100S can capture 400MP high-res images by using a pixel-shift mode that was only added to the GFX 100 via a firmware update.ĭownsizing the body has also meant compromising on the battery, however. Moreover, the image stabilization system is able to work alongside stabilized lenses to maintain the level of correction for longer focal lengths as well. In the process of miniaturizing the IBIS mechanism, Fujifilm has also managed to make it more effective as well – it's rated at six stops of compensation for camera shake as compared to the 5.5 stops of correction on the GFX 100. ![]() Despite the downsizing, Fujifilm has managed to retain in-body image stabilization by reducing the size of the IBIS unit by 20% compared to the one in the GFX 100 (and making it 10% lighter too), as the company has done for the smaller X-series cameras like the X-T4 and X-S10. ![]()
