Super Members BTM_Pix Posted January 27, 2021 Super Members Share Posted January 27, 2021 Time to see how much they've taken off the GFX100 to get to this much cheaper GFX100S. Some lenses will be announced too. Watch along at 14:00 CET EDIT >>> Fujifilm of course, not Fujfilm as the title suggests ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members BTM_Pix Posted January 27, 2021 Author Super Members Share Posted January 27, 2021 Well then... GFX100S highlights are : Weighs 900g, so 500g lighter than GFX100 in a 30% smaller camera body Shutter and IBIS re-designed from GFX100 6 Stops of IBIS Faster AF, speed of 0.18s with PD working at -5.5EV, improved face detection is now 50% faster New film simulation called "Nostalgic Neg" $6499 and available next month Not seen the full spec sheet but video looks to have been left untouched from GFX100 but that remains to be confirmed.

Video Hummus Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 This is awesome from FujiFilm. We are entering into mirrorless medium format video shooting. Holy shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil A Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I wish they would bring a 27mm with f/1.4 or f/2 ... or for Sigma to finally port their three APS-C mirrorless primes to X mount now that the protocols are being available to 3rd party manufacturers. It's obviously a first world problem but I want a fast lens between 23mm and 35mm. Currently using the EF mount Sigma 30mm 1.4 ART lens on a Viltrox mount adapter but it's bigger & heavier than I'd need to and obviously isn't great from AF perspective.

There was a lot of chatter last month to suggest this may be happening sooner rather than later. With Tokina and Viltrox doing AF lenses for X mount, I can't see why Sigma won't be far behind so it might actually happen this time but I think the same chatter was around in 2018 so take it with a pinch of salt.

It'd be nice if they could do 4:2:2 but the processing power necessary is too much I'd imagine. This is a huge release, and I am kind of surprised that it hasn't gotten more attention here. Medium format video at this price is insane. This is a game changer and a sign of things to come, even if people don't realize it right now.

Medium format video at this price is insane. This is a game changer and a sign of things to come, even if people don't realize it right now. After spending a bit of time with @Andrew Reid last year looking at his GFX100, it definitely put itself at the top of my "forever" camera list and one of the pleasant surprises was how much frame coverage was possible with the various FF lenses that we put on it and how adaptable it was in terms of AF adapters for not only EF but Nikon F, which would be a big factor for me. Obviously the price of the GFX100 was eye watering (relative to FF but not other 100mp MF cameras !) but if I squinted a bit I could still see it as "affordable" if not a flat out "bargain". To now be able to get the imaging part of the GFX100 in a smaller and lighter form factor for 40% off is huge.

Tim Sewell Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I'm looking to buy shares in a new camera company that makes cameras specially designed to take flattering pictures of people with foot injuries.

I think I could make a case for either as single hybrid camera with a zoom, but I'd be limiting myself at one or both ends and would still need a back up kit. Both seem pretty superb. For those with deep pockets. I think I'd be more tempted with the Fuji, but temptation is but a fading memory these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerocool22 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Good news that the medium format prices are dropping, allthough the dynamic range doesnt look that great on the demo footage(could be extreme situations though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High resolution plus HDR, equals a window. We could end in a situation where audiovisual content has no artistic look anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could end in a situation where audiovisual content has no artistic look anymore. I don't know about that. In many ways, I'd rather have a mega clear window that I can make as dirty as I like, than a window that's dirty to begin with. I could film something today, give it to 100 different editors and they'd all make it look different. In fact, I can grade something myself today and tomorrow decide I don't like it and create a whole new look. Maybe that's where the artistry will lie? Rather than filming on a grainy 16mm filmstock and assuming that makes you an artist. You also need to factor in lighting and set design etc. which plays a huge part in the quality of the final image. Plenty of artistry to be found, even if you're looking through a window.
