![]() ![]() 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.

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. In fact, in some respects, the GFX 100S is actually better than its predecessor.ĭespite 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. Compromises have had to be made to achieve that price point, but in no way do any of those hamper the performance of the camera. ![]() Costing almost half as much as the GFX 100, the new Fujifilm GFX 100S manages to come in at a price under some pro-level full-frame mirrorless cameras – notably the Sony A1 (opens in new tab). It manages to take medium format photography out of the studio and a little more mainstream.Īnd going mainstream also means making the camera a little more affordable. When we reviewed the Fujifilm GFX 100 back in 2019, we called it “groundbreaking”, and the same is true for its successor, the Fujifilm GFX 100S, but for very different reasons.
