Fujifilm GFX 100S Review 

What is a Noct?

@@Tbonyandsteak po'

Me too, the suspense😅

Yes, but I took great comfort that he was on the outside of the guard rail.

So did I ^_^ Wondered if we were in for a blasted horn or a mad max incident !! made me smile !!

Hahaha, me too

It's personal preference, it doesn't matter.

You should have bought a lottery ticket, it's only once a blue moon one gets to meet a real life Pentax shooter.

I really wanted one when they came out they were so solid. Also the culture of the company was good, this has gone backwards now.

@@endnami Used to be one before going with Fuji. Was the right choice forward but Pentax did make proper products back then. I bought the X-E2 just before the X-T1 came out. Honestly was love and hate compared to the Pentax K30. But in hindsight it was the right move. I would've invested in Pentax glass which would have put me in a rough spot today.

I met a Pentax shooter this week too 😀

Chris is 20 nocts in mass, 1.6 Danny Devitos tall.

Never heard of a noct before Chris Nichols said it. Off to Google noct.

Agree, 11:26 had me blown away for a good minute. Beautiful framing.

For me, one part of the enjoyment is their photography - both video and still.

I thought the bit at 4:56, with the ice crystals flying past, was quite nice!

Such a great fit for Nostalgic Neg

Started!? Dpreview has always done some sponsored content and overviews. Our show is part of the DPReviewTV family and there is some other excellent content from other creators such as Don Komarechka. I realize having all the other content on the channel as well, isn't everyone's cup of tea, but hopefully you'll stick around for our stuff.

@@niccollsvideo That’s weird! I never saw any of those short ones in my feed until the past month. Maybe I wasn’t actually subscribed until recently. I would always get the good reviews from you & Jordan showing up in my feed even when I wasn’t subscribed - I guess because I always clicked on them, and because they have tons of views and tons of thumbs up. But when I subscribed I started getting all the questionable short overviews cluttering up my feed. Oh well! It’s not like I’m gonna start an angry online petition! 😂 I’m just surprised. I think a lot of creators make an extra channel for people who want more content so they can avoid cluttering up the feed of average subscribers - even if it’s decent content - because they don’t want people to unsubscribe (or maybe even click “do not recommend channel”).

I love this jacket. As a fly fisherman though I unfortunately am partaking in a fiercely expensive hobby. Thems the breaks!

GF 80mm F1.7 vs GF 110 F2. I chose GF 110 F2, which is sharper, better image quality. Also some review shows Gf80mm has some serious lagging problem.

@@daianxu103 depends on what focal length you'd like and neglecting another lens because it's not your preferred focal length is very inconsiderate. Some might like the 64-ish field of view and the characteristic of a softer lens. And testing the results is still important for every consumer with different views and needs.

I tried both last week on the GFX100 and very briefly the GFX100S. Though the GF110 is much larger, I really prefer it. IQ is a bit better in the GF110 but I was esp. disappointed with the AF in the GF80. Hunting quite a bit back and forth on both cameras, sometimes even unable to acquire focus and quite loud like an old XF35/1.4. The GF110 felt much better. My experience is consistent with some other reviewers, so I don’t blame it to a damaged lens.

@@jacobh5817 yes, I do agree that in some aspects the GF 110mm f/2 is superior. But, what I am after is who is it for. Who should use it. When to stop down to remove chromatic abberrations, how compact it is, how it feels in the hand, etc. The field of views are different on both lenses, right? Does that mean that I should just go tighter and suck it? I don't believe that suggesting just one lens for everybody is a good advice. I gladly support this channel for their content and robbing them the opportunity to review according to Fuji "the fastest lens for Medium Format" is just sad. Their content is equally as important as other people you support. I like how they present their data and "real world" results. It's not just about "your" preferences, it's for people who want or likes that focal length and if they are willing to put up with the compromises of the GF 80mm f/1.7.

@@davidjohnbalce1111 I fully agree that when you need the 80mm focal length, that’s what you should go for. Just saying that if you have the room to take a few steps back and don’t mind the slightly stronger compression, the 110 is the better lens. Dustin Abbott has done a review of the 80/1.7. He’s very thorough in his reviews.

For you, a Nikon Z9 would be better. With the Nikon Z9 you will be able to freeze every movement of children chasing pets, natural family movements. And it's a camera without a shutter. No shot count. You can shoot as much as you want.

It’s Canada😂

The 50r is good enough the price is great cheap used too. Once you buy medium format you're going to have so many people contacting you're not gonna keep up 😅😂

That's true i feel same.

That's what I think might be a problem with the 100s. Simple physics. There's not a lot of room on this baby medium format.

But full frame systems have faster lenses that negate that difference. Of course a 50MP 44x33 will be cleaner at ISO 6400, but you’ll have to reach for it much less on a FF because of those faster lenses.

@@mattdebyl8806 not the same image quality though

@@silvere36 actually you’re right, the FF camera will have better image quality.

I’d love to know this too!

Manual is smooth enough. And for street? Why not! I totally would myself.

The 50mm (a little bigger than) "pancake" lens is popular for street. Zone focusing is harder due to shallow DOF.

Street . Yes

it's about 2cm wide. that would be a huge pea :) actually, people underestimate, but i find them quite capable. my full frame camera has more "sensor horsepower", but the micro(b) 4/3 one is not a gimmick too.

@@momchilyordanov8190 My main camera is a Nikon Z7, and I can shoot it comfortably at 1/4th of a second at 50mm. I’d be *appalled* if I had to make do with 1/FL or thereabouts handheld, and I’m leveraging 45MP (more pixel-dense than the GFX 100S, actually).

@@Ildskalli I had the Z6 and the IBIS was good. Oly one was better though. Depends what you shoot, really. But I like to shoot around the city at night and ironically, the m43 was very good in that department. Because on theory m43 struggles exactly when it's dark :)

You guys need to remember one important variable you are all forgetting. The photographer. IBIS+how steady YOU can hold it and YOU'RE ability to press the shutter without moving the camera=how slow you can handhold.

@@josh885 that is true to some extent, but it's me who shoot both cameras and my abilities to hold steady did not improve just because i took the little one :) the smaller sensors are simply easier to get stabilized, which gives benefits in some scenarios.

It has to do with the recipe you have selected. My guess is that you boosted clarity and other settings, which are ignored when in Continuous mode.

@@samuelsnow7351 yeah, it was actually contrast. Thanks!

I have seen very good landscapes shot with the 110 (stopped down of course). There is an announcement of a 150MP sensor from Sony, I guess that will go into a GFX model some time within the next two years.

He has a fishing channel

It really is for the reason you stated. Sometimes I'm known to do some ridiculous conversion rates for fun though so regardless you wouldn't get an accurate CDN amount from me, even if I did mention it.

It’s because they work for a US company.

@@niccollsvideo Fair enough, Thanks Chris, cheers!

Jordan is editing it right now.

Not really. Even with some slight motion blur at 100% viewing due to higher MP, at the same output size any modren ILC camera, especially this one, will blow 35mm film out of the water in terms of resolution, color accuracy, dynamic range, smooth tonal transitions, ect.

Well, the images might be technically better, but the beauty of photos is subjective and many photos taken with film look better than digital ones to many people.

@@ditto1958 Film only looks better to people with rose colored glasses. It can have different looks though in terms of contrast, color saturation, and color cast SOOC. But if you want a certain film look can get that with digital. There are many film simulation presets for popular raw editors and even in camera. This camera for example uses fuji's very excellent film simulation modes which capture one supports. So you get film look but in a quality that isn't embarrassing for 2021. Film is simply worse in every way. Even artistically. Since with a digital file you can have any artistic look you want, including simulating different films. All without the need for toxic, polluting, foul smelling chemicals to develop it too.

The way I see it kids will ALWAYS owe their parents for the rest of their lives so... As for that last picture it's the 400MP multishot file which is ridiculous in file size.
