The Fujifilm GFX100S II is a mirrorless medium format camera produced by Fujifilm with Fujifilm G-mount. It is the direct successor to the 2021 GFX100S. [5]

Contents

The GFX100S II was announced by the Fujifilm corporation on 16 May 2024 at the X Summit Sydney 2024 together with the X-T50 and two new lenses. [6] Sales commenced in June 2024. The retail price was set to USD 4,999, which is USD 1,000 less than the initial retail price for its predecessor back in 2021. [7]

Camera body / battery

The size of the GFX100S II is the same as its predecessor. The new body weighs slightly less at 883 g (1.947 lb) including battery (versus 900 g (2.0 lb)) [8] and it now sports the same BISHAMON-TEX finish as the GFX top model GFX 100 II announced in 2023. [7]

The GFX100S II has retained the single NP-W235 battery of the GFX100S, but the service range has been extended: [7]

Processor

The GFX100S II has the latest X-Processor5, which provides enhanced shooting speed, improved autofocus, reduced rolling shutter, and a higher-quality video mode. [4] The mechanical burst speed rises from 5 to 7 fps. [7]

Sensor

The Fujifilm GFX100S II uses the GMX series' 102MP 43.8 × 32.9 mm, 11648 × 8736 pixel medium format sensor with 100% phase-detection autofocus coverage. Compared to its predecessor some improvements have been added, such as redesigned microlenses for enhanced autofocus and better image quality at the extreme edges, [9] a faster readout speed, and the standard sensitivity lowered to 80 ISO. [4] The extended lower ISO value has been reduced to 40. [1]

Autofocus / Stabiliser

The autofocus system of the Fujifilm GFX100S II now offers subject recognition for insects and drones. [4]
The Fujifilm GFX100S II contains an enhanced in-body image stabilization (IBIS) mechanism with 5-axis stabilization. The manufacturer claims a shake compensation effect of up to 8.0 stops in combination with compatible lenses. [4]

Viewfinder

The fixed OLED electronic viewfinder (EVF) has now been upgraded to 5.76M dots and a magnification ration of 0.84×. Coverage of image: 100%. [4]

Rear monitor / top screen

The 3.2 inch, 2.36 M pixel, three-way tilting, colour LCD, touch screen rear monitor is identical to that of the GFX 100S. The 1.8 inch high-contrast monochrome e-ink top screen enables checking camera settings at a glance, even in bright sunlight, and may be customized to display virtual dials (aperture, shutter speed, ISO), a live histogram, or other information. [4] [7]

Film simulation modes

In keeping with all Fujifilm digital cameras, the GFX100S II offers a wide range of film simulations, including the newly introduced REALA ACE, thus totaling 20. [9]

Pixel shift

The Fujifilm GFX100S II is equipped with a Pixel shift multi-shot capability, which allows its sensor to move in half-pixel increments thus enabling both true-colour and ultra-high resolution images (400 MP). [8]

Multiple exposure / Bracketing

The multiple exposure and bracketing capabilities of the Fujifilm GFX100S II remain unchanged versus its predecessor. [2]
Multiple exposures may be taken with up to 9 frames combining a variety of overlay modes.
Six different bracketing modes are provided:AE bracketing, film simulation bracketing, dynamic range bracketing, ISO sensitivity bracketing, white balance bracketing, focus bracketing.

Storage formats (stills)

Still images may now also be stored as HEIF format (4:2:2 10-bit) besides the previously available JPEG (Exif v2.3), TIFF (8/16-bit), and Raw (Fujifilm .RAF) (14/16-bit RAF) formats.

Video

As its predecessor, the Fujifilm GFX100S II is capable of recording 4K video at 25 or 30 fps using the full sensor width. [8]

Both Apple ProRes 422 footage and other video output may be directly routed via USB-C cable to an external SSD. Likewise a ProRes RAW or Blackmagic Raw encoded data stream may be transferred over its HDMI socket to a compatible Atomos or Blackmagic external recorder. [8]

A faster sensor output in comparison to its predecessor reduces rolling shutter and the maximum attainable quality is now 4K / 30 fps video with 10-bit 4:2:2 options (for either H.264 or H.265 modes), thus extending video sampling up to 720 mbps (megabits per sec.). [8] [10]

The GFX100S II has gained not only a new F-Log2 profile but also both waveforms and vectorscope displays to assist with proper video exposure. [8]

Summary of improvements versus predecessor

The mark II version of the Fujifilm GFX100S employs the following improvements as compared to its predecessor: [4] [7]
