Our editorial take on the Fujifilm GFX100S

The GFX100S delivers 102 megapixels of medium format resolution in a body that weighs just 1400 grams with the EVF attached, making it one of the most portable options in its class. Reviewers praised its stunning image quality and exceptional dynamic range, noting that it offers full-frame shooters a significant step up in detail and contrast. The camera's 5-axis IBIS with 5.5 stops of compensation and improved autofocus system (425 points with low-light capability down to -5.5 EV) make it a versatile tool for deliberate, quality-focused work.

Build quality is solid with magnesium alloy construction and weather sealing, while the 3.2-inch tilting touchscreen and 5.76-million-dot EVF provide excellent viewing options. The dual UHS-II SD card slots and extensive connectivity (USB-C, micro HDMI, audio in/out, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) round out a comprehensive feature set. Video specs include DCI 4K up to 30p with 10-bit 4:2:0 internal recording and external ProRes RAW support.

Reviewers consistently highlighted the camera's ability to excel in image quality and portability while delivering strong autofocus performance within the medium format context. The slower, more deliberate shooting pace (5 fps mechanical, 2.9 fps electronic) suits the camera's strengths in resolution and dynamic range rather than fast action.

Best for: Full-frame photographers ready to step up to medium format who prioritize image quality and dynamic range over fast action shooting.
What's great
