Fujifilm GFX100 RF: Versatile Medium Format Camera for Art & Travel

The Fujifilm GFX100 RF is like a compact powerhouse, packing a medium format punch in a sleek body. With a 35mm F4 lens that's a 28mm f/2.8 equivalent, it's a camera that screams quality and versatility. In this review, the team delves into the camera's target audience, comparing it to the X100 series and the Leica Q. Priced between $5,000 to $7,000, it's not for the faint of heart but for those craving top-notch resolution for their artistic endeavors. This camera is all about capturing stunning stills, perfect for street photography and creating visual masterpieces.

The GFX100 RF offers a plethora of features, from various simulations to digital zoom and customizable aspect ratios. It's a Swiss Army knife of cameras, providing users with multiple shooting options in one sleek package. However, the absence of In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) might be a deal-breaker for some, especially for night owls and videographers. Accessories like the premium camera strap and lens hood add to the overall user experience, showcasing Fujifilm's attention to detail and quality.

The camera's design and functionality are top-notch, with a zoom feature that mimics the versatility of having multiple lenses at your disposal. Improved battery life and an articulating screen make shooting a breeze, ensuring you can focus on capturing the perfect shot. While the tactile feel of the buttons and overall build quality are commendable, some users might find the camera's resemblance to the X100 series a bit underwhelming, considering its price point. Despite its minor flaws, the GFX100 RF is a creative powerhouse, blending nostalgia with modern technology to offer users a premium photography experience unlike any other.
