It might get confusing to have a Fujifilm GFX 100II and a GFX 100sII and there are some differences that set them appart - including the price! - My website: www.crisphotography.info My Instagram: @cris_photo_graphy @cris_weddings
Nice comparison review! I think this 100S II is a decent mid-level revision of the 100S; but it also falls short of the 100II in more ways than you mention . . . the lack of a (optional) vertical grip makes ergonomics for vertical shooting a pain, especially on a long shoot . . . SD cards, though more affordable, write/read painfully-slowly unless you spend a lot more $$$ for premium cards . . . the hand grip itself is deeper than the 50, but still small and uncomfortable for large hands and longer shooting sessions, as compared to the 100II (sans vertical grip). . . For basically the same IQ as the 100II, it's a great value - you won't get "$2.5K more IQ" out of the 100II -- but Fuji still really need to work on their ergo's for professional studio/location shooters . . . or just offer more functional vertical grip options on ALL models. I'd love to see a new GFX model that forego's the video capabilities; just strip it away, and give us a powerhouse photo-centric camera with IQ, speed, photo features, and ergo's - please Fuji, pretty please?!
I preordered the 100S II (using the GFX50S and 50R Sinne 2019). I also shoot Weddings and couples and i m looking forward to the new AF capabilities. The 55 1.7 is a very slow lens with the old system. But the 110 is fast.
How are you getting on with the new T+S lenses? I find them complex compared to others and the lack of a foot on the 110mm compared to the 30mm a little hard to bear with?
I don’t use them much other than for specific RE shots where I need the close distance. But otherwise I find other lenses much easier and simple to use as well (like all TS lenses I’ve used in the past)
I held the two for 30 min the other day. Def differences, the viewfinder is a teensy bit clearer but smoother. All around def looks nicer although the Sii looks great as well. The 100ii has an awesome textured dark grey finish on the metal compared to a semigloss cheaper looking black on the Sii. The viewfinder doesn’t come off the Sii which sucks if you’re using it with an ext monitor for whatever reason. The Sii def feels lighter in hand with a lens and that seems like the perfect weight (Im 6’3” and have big hands even and the 100ii feels big). as far as $2500 price difference I dunno I think that’s a big spread just for 8k 30fps.
Does it have same sensor as at 100 ii .....I currently have the 50s ii and really love it but want to upgrade the auto focussing the 100 ii is way too much in Australia
Exactly, 2 things: slower readout speed and AF tracking. But like I said in another comment, it doesn't bother me enough to mention it (having tried both). Cheers!
autofocus speed is really quite a bit better for 100 ii especially for tracking. I have tested both two cameras extensively in China for more than a week.
Thanks Marc, both tom and platofong 8264 are correct in their answers. There are of course some differences that could be important to some and less to others. It is indeed true that the tracking works best on the 100 II and that the read out speed is slower, but personally I didn't notice enough of a difference to mention it (but again, it all boils down to what you need and what "slow" or "fast" means to you). Take care
@rubiseltovilla1827 I think the are very similar in terms of mp and quality, but you’ll want to check the lenses and that’s what will determine grandly the final IQ. But I think Fuji came a long a way and they make amazing cameras for the price point.
Not the good ones (which is why you use those). And since i have prolly 30 SD cards having to switch to CF is utterly annoying and useless if I don’t do video - not to mention the adaptor needed to read that card format (my Mac has SD not CF)
