What do you think of the FUJIFILM GFX100 II?

[@ivolk_nyc]

I tested the camera a few days ago, and Fuji still has not fixed the focus hunting issue with the 45mm lens. ;(

[@cinqo7]

@@ivolk_nycwhat about with other lenses?

[@simoneaves9941]

I think I'd like to have seen a test shoot that was well lit.

[@angryrabbitproductions1690]

I have this camera. The 5.8K cine mode is awesome. Rolling shutter is not great, so you have to be mindful of that when shooting. The 4.8K anamorphic mode is better for rolling shutter. It can be used as any mirrorless in this mode.
What you missed is the single best feature of this camera… the amazing EVF. With the tilt adapter installed, the EVF elevates this camera to one of the best shooting experiences of any camera I’ve shot with. It’s next level. We can only hope that Fujifilm will create a cinema version, with faster rolling shutter, built in eVND and support for this wonderful EVF.

[@vijhaib]

How is it different shooting with full frame anamorphic lens on the gfx100 II than any other full frame camera, as you cannot leverage the entire sensor area unless the lens itself is a medium format anamorphic lens?

[@marcrsommer]

Thanks, Jabari. Really learned a few things.

[@philip4658]

Aaahhh... Those Fuji's magenta skin tones... Classic!

[@HealingMushroom]

Thanks for all the insights to the video functionality... but boy are the scenes terribly lit.

[@natehaiden]

I’m in love with this camera and im going to buy it, but it’s not “as medium format as it gets” because it’s not even close to a 0.5x crop like something like 6x7cm film or even a hassleblad 500 series I think “more than full frame” is the more truthful statement

[@mattiasimonetta]

What resolutions and sensor sizes are available when shooting in braw? Thanks!

[@BandH]

For internal recording, these are the specs: 8192 x 4320 at 23.98/24.00 fps [50 to 720 Mb/s]
For Internal recording: 7680 x 4320 at 23.98/24.00/25/29.97 fps

[@Fprato2011]

I think it is very important that BH uploads this type of content for potential buyers of the products.
I hope I don't offend anyone, but in this case, which lacked a lot of love for the piece they made, the information was good but the result does not highlight the potential of the camera. The location, the lighting, the skin tones, the contrast between shots, everything could have been done much better.
Honestly after watching the video I am a little further away from buying this camera than before.

[@alzibaba]

I have to agree. I was surprised, for me this doesn’t really showcase what the camera can do or make me want to buy it, whereas the Fujifilm sponsored short in Istanbul is excellent.

[@MrObiorah]

That dude can sing and play that instrument at the same time...really well 😃

[@tomkent4656]

What sort of computer power would you need to edit the footage from this monster?

[@YZWAY]

Hello this not support open gate?

[@SDA-Sound]

Sony mic in a Fuji demo 😜 amazing info thank u!

[@gothamindembaum]

CAN the camera desqueeze in stills mode???

[@BandH]

The FUJIFILM GFX 100II features two different high resolution 35mm anamorphic recording modes that provide various de-squeeze monitoring options in-camera. This feature is available only in Movie Mode. >Mark

[@gothamindembaum]

@@BandH they need to support it in still mode like Panasonic has done on the S1H.

[@Slimgosa]

What a beastly Video Camera 😶

[@KobusGevelspar]

Studio lighting and setup was so much better than on location with the musician is mho. Very sterile.

[@josehnegrete]

I had been really wanting this camera, and I was ready to put it on the credit card at the end of the week until I saw this video. Thanks for helping me change my mind B&H, the lighting on this one was terrible!

[@romanooo]

why?What made you change your mind?

[@josehnegrete]

@@romanoooI was hoping to use this camera for photo and video, but the video capabilities did not look good at all. A large part of it was just the terrible lighting setup in this video, but if a photo company does not care about lighting for a camera review, then why should I care about the camera.
I ended up buying a GFX 100S instead from another website 👍🏼 love it

[@fotovogue5579]

Hi There
I want to order GFX100S from B&H , I wanna clear one doubt before I place order , does GFX100s allow to shoot video in 4:3 aspect ratio . I really really waiting for ur reply .Thankyou

[@BandH]

The sensor is native 4:3. All other shooting modes would be cropped. >Mark

[@xPocketStaff]

so good quality and so bad lighting setup here 😮 you dont know hot to use lights guys

[@natehaiden]

I didn’t want to say it but yeah, not sure what the thought behind the shoot was

[@andyeighttre]

@xPocketStaff - is this a review of the camera or the light? Wouldn’t the bad light show how good a camera actually is vs great light? You nerds, always gotta piss and moan about everything 👍
