The Fujifilm GFX100 II is a medium format mirrorless camera produced by Fujifilm with Fujifilm G-mount. It is the direct successor to the 2019 GFX100. [6]

Contents

The GFX100 II was announced on 12 September 2023 at the X Summit Global 2023. [7] Sales commenced in September 2023.

Camera body / battery

The GFX100 II has a noticeably smaller and slightly lighter body than the GFX100, mainly due to the fact that the vertical grip is now an optional add-on. [6] Whereas the GFX100 supports two batteries, the GFX100 II provides space for only one NP-W235 Li-ion type battery (same type as GFX100S). The GFX100 II body thus weighs 1,030 g with its single battery, one of two memory cards and EVF attached. [2] This is approximately 370 g lighter than the GFX100 body (1,400 g with two batteries, memory card and EVF). [8]

Viewfinder

The enhanced electronic viewfinder (EVF) (9.44 MP) is detachable, as that of the GFX100, and may be supplemented with an optional tilt accessory. [9]

Sensor

The Fujifilm GFX100 II uses a newly developed high-speed 43.8 x 32.9 mm medium format sensor with 100% phase-detection autofocus coverage. The 102 MP resolution is identical to that of its predecessor, Fujifilm GFX100. In combination with the enhanced image processing engine "X-Processor 5" the camera can deliver up to double the signal readout speed compared to the sensors employed by both predecessors (Fujifilm GFX100 and GFX100S). [4]

Stabilizer

The GFX100 II contains an in-body image stabilization (IBIS) mechanism with 5-axis stabilization. The manufacturer claims a shake compensation effect of up to 8.0 stops. [2]

Rear monitor / top screen

The 3.2 inch, 2.36 M pixel, three-way tilting, colour LCD, touch screen rear monitor is very similar to the GFX 100's. The 2.09 inch high-contrast monochrome top screen enables checking camera settings at a glance, even in bright sunlight, and may be customized to display display virtual dials (aperture, shutter speed, ISO), a live histogram, or other information. [10] [11]

Dust and weather resistance

The build quality is high-class [12] with the manufacturer claiming enhanced dust and weather-resistant capabilities. [13] The camera is fully operative at temperatures from a maximum 40 °C to as low as -10 °C. [2]

Storage formats

Still images may now also be stored as HEIF format (4:2:2 10bit) besides JPEG, TIFF, and Raw (Fujifilm .RAF) formats. [2]

Pixel shift / multiple exposure / bracketing

The camera is equipped with a Pixel shift multi-shot capability, which allows its sensor to move incrementally thus enabling both true-colour and ultra-high resolution images (400 MP). It enables taking multiple exposures (up to 9 frames with a variety of overlay modes) and also supports 6 different bracketing modes (AE bracketing, film simulation bracketing, dynamic range bracketing, ISO sensitivity bracketing, white balance bracketing, focus bracketing). [2]

As opposed to the other straightforward bracketing modes focus bracketing comprises two distinct variants: manual and auto. [14]

Video

This camera is capable of recording 4K video using the full sensor and can also natively capture 8K video, albeit with a 1.53× crop, utilising a roughly 29 mm x 16 mm sized region of the sensor. [15]

Higher-quality codecs require either fast CFexpress Type B cards [16] or that video output be directly routed via USB-C cable to an external SSD. [17]

As to be expected for a high resolution medium format sensor, rolling shutter is more pronounced in comparison to lower resolution full frame sensors. [18]

Lenses

The native Fujifilm G-mount lenses manufactured by the Fujifilm company bear the official designation Fujinon GF, as inscribed on the perimeter of the lens barrel. [19] This Fujifilm G-mount table lists not only Fujinon lenses, but also G-mount-compatible lenses presented by other manufacturers.

Notes

  1. ↑ The step size is the increment by which the focus point of the lens advances between shots.

Fujinon is a brand of optical lenses made by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd, now known as Fujifilm. Fujifilm's Fujinon lenses have been used by professional photographers and broadcast stations as well as cinematography. Fujifilm started manufacture of optical glass in its Odawara Factory in Japan in 1940, which was the start of the Fujinon brand. They were proud of their use of expensive Platinum crucibles to get the purest glass achievable at the time. Fujifilm also pioneered Electron Beam Coating (EBC) which according to Fujifilm, represented a new high in lens precision and performance. The EBC process was significantly different from other coating processes by the number of coating, the thinness of the coating, and the materials used for coating. Fujifilm claimed they were able to have as many as 14 layers of coating and used materials such as zirconium oxide, and cerium fluoride, which could not be used for coating in the conventional coating process. The first lens to offer the Electron Beam Coating was the EBC Fujinon 55mm F3.5 Macro in 1972. Light transmission for the coating was said to be 99.8%. EBC later evolved into Super-EBC and HT-EBC.

The FujifilmFinePix F series is a line of compact digital cameras that was known for its low-light performance in 2005, with relatively low image noise and natural colors even at high ISO settings. With its relatively large, but moderate resolution Super CCD sensors, it concentrated on image quality, and low-light shooting without flash, which was mostly restricted to prosumer models at the time.

A mirrorless camera is a digital camera which, in contrast to DSLRs, does not use a mirror in order to ensure that the image presented to the photographer through the viewfinder is identical to that taken by the camera. They have come to replace DSLRs, which have historically dominated interchangeable lens cameras. Other terms include electronic viewfinder interchangeable lens (EVIL) cameras and compact system cameras (CSCs).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Fujifilm X-Trans sensor</span> Type of photosensor

The Fujifilm X-Trans is a sensor developed by Fujifilm and used in its Fujifilm X series cameras. Unlike most sensors featuring a conventional Bayer filter array, X-Trans sensors have a unique 6 by 6 pattern of photosites. Fujifilm claims that this layout can minimise moiré effects, and in turn increase resolution by eliminating the need for a low-pass filter.

10K resolution refers to a horizontal display resolutions of approximately 10,000 pixels. Unlike 4K UHD and 8K UHD, there are no 10K resolutions defined in the UHDTV broadcast standard. The first 10K displays demonstrated were ultrawide "21:9" screens with a resolution of 10240 × 4320, the same vertical resolution as 8K UHD.

The Fujifilm GFX100 is a mirrorless medium format camera produced by Fujifilm. It is the flagship model of the GFX Series of mirrorless digital cameras and the third camera with the Fujifilm G-mount. The camera comes in two versions, the regular GFX100 and the GFX100 IR.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Pixel shift</span> Super-resolution imaging technique

Pixel shift is a method in digital cameras for producing a super resolution image. The method works by taking several images, after each such capture moving ("shifting") the sensor to a new position. In digital colour cameras that employ pixel shift, this avoids a major limitation inherent in using Bayer pattern for obtaining colour, and instead produces an image with increased colour resolution and, assuming a static subject or additional computational steps, an image free of colour moiré. Taking this idea further, sub-pixel shifting may increase the resolution of the final image beyond that suggested by the specified resolution of the image sensor.
