Fujifilm GFX: Outstanding Image Quality… But if Fujifilm Would Give Me A Free Camera, I’d Pick the… And You? – POLL

Amazing image, right? Taken with… the new Fujifilm X100F :) and shared by Kıvanç B. at our Fujifilm X100F facebook group here

Fujifilm GFX or X-Trans III

Ok, I admit, the samples GFX owners shared so far at our GFX group are simply… superb! I mean, every day I check out the images and everyday it’s just “WOW”.

But I was wondering, if I would not own a Fujifilm camera already and Fujifilm would send me a free camera (including 3 lenses), which one would I choose? (It’s really a mere thought experiment, since Fujifilm would not even clean my sensor for free)

Well… I think I’d still get the Fujifilm X-T2.

Why?

Yes, it’s true, the Fujifilm GFX has such a large sensor compared to APS-C, that no matter how sofisticated current APS-C sensors are, they can’t really catch up with a Medium Format sensor in term of image quality.

However, what I want from a camera is not only IQ (which is great already in my trusty X-T1, and it’s even better in the X-T2).

I also want a camera that is light and easy to carry around. I want a camera that works fast and reliable, when I occasionally have to track my crazy nephew riding downhill on his toboggan. I want a discrete camera on the street and one that allows me to carry around 3 lenses on my travels, without taking to much space in my backpack. I want a camera that looks sexy. And I want a camera that is the best allrounder possible in the smallest package imaginable.

So for now, the answer is: I want the Fujifilm X-T2 (or Fujifilm X-T20… but since it’s free I’d go for the X-T2 ;) )

Now you know I’m a rangefinder style lover. So why no X-Pro2 or X100F?

Well, here is the thing: I do make one film project every year with my students. And having a hybrid camera that gives me nice 4K video would be interesting for me, since I’m sure many of my students will have 4K TV’s at home in a few years… so the X-T2 is the way to go.

With all that said, if all I would need is the ultimate image quality, I guess I’d have no other choice than to grab the Fujifilm GFX… but I need an allrounder that can do everything very good (video included). So please Fujifilm, send me an X-T2 :)

WHY THIS POLL

I launch this poll, because I’d be interested to see, how many of you guys would grab the Fujifilm GFX if price would be no problem. Maybe the price is the only thing that keeps you from purchasing the GFX? Or maybe the advantages of current X-TransIII cameras (such as speed, better video and AF) would still make you pick an APS-C Fuji, even if all the gear would be given to you for free?

I won’t include every Fuji cameras in this poll. Only the latest generation, so X-TransIII and the GFX. Vote and feel free to tell us thoughts in the comments.

And of course… it’s Friday, so enjoy your weekend :)

Rule 1: You can Not Sell again the Camera and Lenses You Get for Free
Rule 2: Imagine you do not own a Fujifilm camera already
