- PetaPixel 9/10
The GFX 100 II is the ultimate medium format camera on the market even if it has a few compromises to consider.
-
Even if you never shoot a single frame of video, the GFX 100 II represents a major step forward for the system.
-
There’s no denying the GFX 100 II can deliver fantastically detailed images with the colour and tonality you know and love from the X-series, but you could already do this with the previous 102 Megapixel models in the series.
-
True, this is still a hybrid device, hence some of the compromises they made like the absence of an articulated LCD screen, but all in all, Fujifilm did a great job here and I'm extremely curious to see how the market will react in adopting it.
-
This is a camera that’s a realistic option both for demanding professionals and even some committed enthusiasts.
-
The Fujifilm GFX100 II goes a long way towards fulfilling Fuji’s goal of making medium format as accessible as their smaller format cameras.
-
They've redone the entire camera and it's a big improvement overall.
-
It's big, it's heavy, it's incredible, yielding a fantastic amount of detail and virtually no noise.
-
The GFX 100 II is also the most capable medium-format camera for video ever released, offering 8K/30p, 4K/60p/30p, FHD 120p recorded at 4:2:2 10-bit video internally plus Apple ProRes recording to a compatible ATOMOS HDMI external device.
-
The Fujifilm GFX100 II is a brilliant camera with a huge medium-format sensor ideal for taking high-resolution photos and sharp 8K/30p video.
-
The GFX 100 II is a revelation, I review a lot of cameras, but this is one of the few cameras I have found the hardest to give back.
-
It isn’t perfect, but it isn’t far off either. Stunning stills with vast amounts of detail, strong low-light performance and bags of dynamic range make this any photographer’s dream.
-
The GFX 100 II is the fastest medium format camera to date.
- Photo Review 9.0/10
For professionals looking for the best image and video quality and the most usable medium format option on the market, the GFX 100 II is even better than the camera it replaces.
-
Previous GFX cameras took astoundingly detailed images, and the GFX100 II is no different – only now a much faster, more accurate autofocus and faster burst shooting mean it’s far better suited to snapping moving subjects.
-
The Fujifilm GFX 100 II is 100% legit and what I've been looking for for a very long time, something different with a huge sensor that actually works like a camera, not something that takes effort but something that actually feels like what I'm used to shooting on, just bigger…
-
As a high-end professional digital camera, the Fujifilm GFX100 II technically has a complete feature-set than can handle every type of photography.
-
The 100-megapixel images offer very fine details, a lot of dynamic range and a vast colour depth.
-
I don’t think you would be disappointed with this camera. If you’re into medium format and you bought any of the others, the 100s, I think this is an upgrade.
-
It does come with a hefty price tag still though, it's not that cheap even though it is cheaper than the competition, $7,500 US or $10,100 Canadian just for the body [...]
-
It's safe to say that Fujifilm hasn't just improved on the GFX 100 II but has really improved what a medium format digital camera is capable of being, allowing not just photographers but filmmakers and videographers to take advantage of the rich tonalities and beautiful [...]
-
The GFX II, I think honestly, if you're into the GFX series and you can afford it, it's honestly a no-brainer to purchase. The 8K video quality footage, the eight-stop stabilization, the improved and sleeker design, this is a really fantastic camera for any Fujifilm users.
-
I'm choosing to look at it as a glass half full because, despite not being the poor man's IMAX camera that I think every video creator hoped it would be, Fujifilm has delivered on what they set out to do with this camera.
-
The camera delivers what you would expect and more and is the perfect workhorse, in my case, for landscapes. It is a robust detail-gathering machine that delivers exceptional-quality images.
-
If you are looking for the maximum possible resolution and enjoy the ability to crop, you will surely like the GFX100 II.
-
The Fujifilm GFX 100 II might just be the most versatile medium format camera out there at the moment.
-
The new generation Fujifilm GFX 100 II is an exceptional medium format camera, which will pique more than just casual interest from professional photographers, serious enthusiasts and hybrid shooters.
-
I'm biased, but I think this is the best time because this camera is mature to a point where I felt that it's able to do more sort of stuff.
-
I could not be happier with the results there, and it's definitely something that would be on par with a 7 plus thousand dollar camera.
-
[T]he GFX 100 II is a worthy successor to the GFX 100.
-
If you’re looking for a medium-format camera and want something with better autofocus and more versatility than ever, it’s well worth considering.
-
Quite simply, this is a brand new tool that pushes the experience much further than before.
-
It never let me down when I use it for professional shooting and it looks really good.
-
After having attended the launch of the Fujifilm GFX100 II and having been able to see its potential firsthand, we had this camera for review and we can confirm that we are faced with a definitive camera, because it has everything you could wish for.
-
I don't think it's a stretch to say that this is probably the best stills camera that I've ever used. It's just the complete package for me and my workflow.
-
The Fujifilm GFX 100 II marks yet another improvement for medium-format mirrorless cameras, delivering truly spectacular 102-megapixel image quality in a more portable and usable body than ever before.
-
If you're interested in possibly going to medium format, I think I would recommend the system.
