GFX 100S Vs CANON R5 🤯 What Makes MEDIUM FORMAT BETTER?? Full Comparison with RAW FILES DOWNLOAD! 

You have the best reviews. Just honest with examples and data. No bias. No pushing a brand or agenda. Thank you.

Why aren't you at 1M subscribers already? One of my favorite photography reviewers

Thank you for the videos and files, a great help in deciding if i want to give the (now pricewise very interesting) GF100S a shot for slower paced work alongside my Canon cameras. The ISO performance and ability to extremely push dark files/shadows without the files breaking apart is awesome. the resolution difference between the R5 and 100s is interestingly much lower than i had anticipated, i am sure its different for stopped down landscape work but wide open the RF lenses are so extremely sharp that the Fuji lenses do not compete. i would even say the R5 files have more usable resolution than the GF100s with the 80 1.7. despite having less than half the megapixels. the 110 2 looks quite a bit better but still...not so much in between as i would have thought.

Man you are really making it hard for me to say no to the Fuji 100S. I don't currently own a medium format camera. I downloaded your RAW files from the first video a few days ago. All I can say is the dynamic range on the 100S is KRAAZZEEE! I have a lot of cameras but nothing I own comes close to the 100S. Totally agree with you on this one, keep up the great work.

Thank You! This is exactly the comparison I wanted to see.

The fastest lens on GFX 100s is the 45-100mm F4. It's an incredibly sharp lens and it became the workhorse for a lot of work, including studio jobs.

Would love to see you do a comparison of the GFX 100s against the Hasselblad X2D 100c...

Another banger vid mate!

Your edging me closer to buying the 100s with all them beautiful photos in every video 😂 your videos and photos are super stellar 👌📸

R5 really shines with C1 bro! But so does the Fuji obviously! You should try it someday too Amazing video as usual with you my man!

Great comparison thank you! Was thinking of getting a r5 or sony a4 for a more faster/dynamic jobs. Based on your video... i think i'm spoiled.. the quality of the gfx100s files is hard to go back from hahah. Seems like you're using a Mac? If you get one of those new m1 pro or max laptops or mac studios, these gfx100s edit seamlessly (at least in mine it does) - both in terms of loading the files as well as editing in photoshop!

Turn on GPU acceleration in settings. Much snappier.

thanks for sharing

You had me with GFX at "Hey what is up.." 😅

Nice one M! I went through that exact dance as you. Full frame file are really nice and colour is in the end what makes the biggest difference. It comes down to what is"good enough " to satisfy someone and what you are comfortable with handing over to clients. Time is what it comes down to and exposing images and framing images as close to what is final. Once these skills are at a certain level to get the best quality out of full frame, you could use that same time and effort to get that much more out of images that start with a greater bit depth and pixel size to have an even more awesome file. It never ends. It was the same when I shot film and so now with digital. I find full frame pointless to invest in as it's also expensive. The xh2 files and speed of that xh2(s), make it an excellent B cam to supplement shooting when you"need" a video or system fast enough for sports. So cropped medium format is great for me.

Thank you for this vid. I'll just keep on saving to buy a 100S...... 😉

Buy the way I played with files in my LR and could match more or less but R5 underexposed has moire issues on her dress, so as GFX100 but ~50% less

Man Fuji should at least sponsor you. I mean, I bought Fuji literally because of your videos and your work. Although I wish Fuji autofocus is more like Canon/Sony and give us the option to shoot with lower megapixels, like 50. But for the price, can't be beaten. However, I do wish that Fuji go with Sony's approach of miniaturizing their lenses and using multiple linear motors to make it faster. Overall, let's see where Fuji will be in the future.

Love your videos as always JM! I've been wanting to tell you for a while about a pre-raw converter called PureRaw2. I've shot as a pro with Canon for about 15 years and found this and I'm addicted. It removes noise and adds in detail to files then outputs as a DNG. I have been using it on my old files shot with the 1D Mark III and 5D Mark IV and it's almost like getting a couple extra stops of dynamic range because it scrubs out the noise in the shadows without making anything look fake or "smudgy" like most noise removal programs. Then you take that DNG and use it in your normal workflow. Whenever I watch your videos and I see how you like to pull up shadows I have wanted to let you know, though I suspect it's not allowed to mention software in the comments. I'm not sponsored or have anything to do with the software at all but I've been a fan of your work and I've got a couple of my friends addicted to it. Might help you out with how you shoot. Keep it up with the great videos and I'm a big fan of the comparison videos especially. You are one of the most talented photographers I've come across on RU-vid for sure.

GFX 100S is unmatched among the best full frame cameras for sure. I would love to see you do a comparison on the XT5 vs 100S. Please do a comparison for us 😊

I feel like when it comes to the 100s The only way to sum up the files is that they’re just not polluted with anything I look at the surroundings everything is perfect clean color extremely realistic. After downloading all of these 100s are the best files I have ever seen. The only issue and it’s a big one. What the hell am I gonna do with a 100mp camera way too much! I would say editorial commercial only. I love the R5 the files weren’t bad and the color wasn’t so hard to match but I think the D850 would be a better option to fight these Fujis! Marcus Thanks for this great video. Would you consider doing a video on the 100s using studio strobes love to see what the studio results would look like with OCF.

what will your setup after fuji will launch the new 100 ii with R5 like autofocus? do you also use XF? i have all 3 (r5, gfx 100s, xt-5, x-h2s) but dont know which one to sell……

With GFX and R5 are you using their setting to boost DR highlights? It also affects raw files, for GFX DR400 and Canon DR+ or something

@SNAPAVELI how do you record video of the viewfinder on the R5 when you're taking photos?

Just found the channel. Really enjoyed this Vid. New sub here. Cheers

That's what I am talking about!I have Cannon and gfx 100s the fuzi is the rolls Royce and the cannon is the ford!

Black Friday sales here in the UK, the 100S is down to £4.8k from £5.5k - £700 saving. Should I do it?

I'm looking at the shot count and the R5 is like a full auto. Geez. I think it's still outpaced by an OM1 though, and that one is more affordable for me albeit less MP and a smaller sensor. AH, decisions!

I'm watching this at 1:00 a.m., so maybe I'm too tired to comment, but I noticed the photo that came from the R5 shows moire pattern in the skirt.

My problem with the 100s was the Fuji simulation profiles. Too cartoonish. But once I figured out and found my ideal profiles, things get pretty awesome.

you do know that you can shoot the 100S in 35mm mode cut your files down from 102megapixels to about 60 and not loose any of the 100S magic.

How about doing a test on a XH2

This is the quintessential example of people seeing what they want to see. Confirmation bias at its finest. We all do it. Just kind of funny. As Jim Kasson demonstrated there's nothing materially better about a 16 bit RAW file over the 14 bit. I mean unless your underexposing by 7 stops. Both great cameras. Horses for courses.
