Looking at the GFX100S 102 MP medium format camera

gfx100S_review_testingI’ve had the Fuji GFX100S medium format camera here for a short review.

The camera is a potential replacement for my Canon 5Ds, and I will be looking at the two new tilt/shift lenses from Fuji next year. Firstly, it was time to have a look at just what sorts of files and images it could produce..

There are two videos – one covering some first thoughts and why I’m testing it, and the second looks at the image file, how I processed them and how it affects exposure choices.

Fuji GFX100S review: first thoughts, and why I’m testing it

Looking at the GFX100S 100MP medium format camera from Fuji. I’ve the GFX100S along with 30/3.5 and 23/4 lenses for a short while to review and test. The review will be looking at specific aspects of the camera, with an emphasis on the sorts of images I produce for my professional commercial and architectural photography.

I’ve also a look at some of my previous cameras, and how the GFX100S might fit in.

Fuji GFX100S review notes: Image quality – medium format 100MP files and what they give you

Continuing my testing of the Fuji GFX100S 102MP medium format camera. Looking at the image files from the camera and how they change your approach to exposure and basic camera use.

My initial look at the GFX100S is extended to look at aspects of image quality in lighting conditions typical of my commercial photography work. Includes a brief discussion of the 400MP multi-shot mode.
