GFX100 II: A Game-Changer in Medium Format Photography
The star of Fujifilm’s latest offerings, the GFX100 II, boasts a sensor that is a remarkable 1.7 times the size of a full-frame sensor. This translates to unparalleled image quality characterized by rich tonal reproduction and exquisite three-dimensional details. What sets this camera apart is its advanced feature set, including AI-based subject detection autofocus and a high-speed image processing engine, which elevates burst shooting performance from 5.0 to an astounding 8.0 frames per second. This versatility caters to a broad spectrum of photography genres, from fashion and commercial to sports and news photography.
Revolutionary Video Capabilities: 4K/60P and 8K/30P
Videographers have much to celebrate with the GFX100 II, as it introduces groundbreaking video capabilities. It can internally record 4K/60P 4:2:2 10-bit video, setting a new standard for the GFX Series. Moreover, it supports 8K/30P video, a remarkable achievement that opens up exciting possibilities for content creators. To enhance the videography experience, the camera offers video format modes optimized for different lenses and improved connectivity options, including Ethernet and HDMI ports. Hardware enhancements, such as up to 8-stop in-body image stabilization, a 1.0x viewfinder magnification, and a redesigned body, ensure that the GFX100 II meets the high standards of professional photographers and videographers.
GF55mmF1.7 R WR: A Lens of Unmatched Versatility
Complementing the GFX100 II is the GF55mmF1.7 R WR, a versatile large-aperture prime lens with a 55mm focal length (equivalent to 44mm in the 35mm format). Designed specifically for Fujifilm’s GFX Series large-format cameras, this lens’s wide maximum aperture produces creamy bokeh and a natural field of view similar to human vision. It excels in capturing vivid snapshots or sharp portraits against beautifully blurred backgrounds. Advanced construction minimizes aberrations, ensuring exceptional image quality for various indoor and outdoor shooting scenarios.
