Sony RX1rIII vs Fujifilm GFX100RF vs X100VI Specs Comparison – GFX100RF Looking Like a Bargain and X100VI Like a Steal?

Share

Sony has just launched the Sony RX1rIII fixed lens camera.

Now, for the full specs comparison (vs X100VI and GFX100RF) you can check out the dedicated BH comparison page. Frankly, I trust B&H more with reliable specs rather than asking AI to do that ;). But let me highlight some RX1rIII specs:

Sony RX1R III

  • $5,098
  • no IBIS and no OIS
  • 61 MP
  • 2.36m-Dot EVF
  • has film looks called “film 1”, “film 2”, “film 3”
  • no mention of weather sealing

Well, at that price, it makes the Fujifilm GFX100RF look like a bargain, which also has no IBIS or OIS, offers a 5.76m-Dot EVF, 100 megapixel, weather sealing and it costs $4,899.

And the Fujifilm X100VI looks like a steal, as you can get it for $1,599 and it comes with IBIS, 3.69m-Dot EVF, hybrid viewfinder, weather sealing (if used with filter)  and 40 megapixel.

The main advantages for the Sony RX1RIII are the autofocus and the f/2 lens, even though that makes the lens bigger which might be a negative for those, who look for ultimate portability.

In my view, the Sony RX1R III is a very welcome and much-needed addition to the fixed-lens camera market. Sony made a smart move by reviving this line, especially given the growing popularity of fixed-lens cameras. That said, I still believe Fujifilm offers the more refined and well-rounded option overall—though the Ricoh GR series remains a compelling and tempting alternative.

Fujifilm Dominates MapCamera Sales Ranking in June

Share

MapCamera (one of the largest retailers in Japan) has shared the list of the top 10 selling cameras in June:

  1. Fujifilm X half
  2. Fujifilm X100VI
  3. Fujifilm X-M5
  4. Nikon Z5II
  5. Ricoh GR IIIx
  6. Nikon Z50II
  7. Sony α7C II
  8. Fujifilm X-T5
  9. Canon EOS R6 Mark II
  10. Ricoh GR III

The Fujifilm X half wins with a large margin on the second camera and with the charcoal version being the most popular one. Now there is a shortage on X half cameras at MapCamera.

Fujifilm X100VI and X-M5 keep being very popular.

The Fujifilm X-T5 was pushed back into the ranking thanks to a cashback campaign running in Japan.

Used Fujifilm X100VI Now Selling Below Retail Price at BHphoto

Share

A couple of second hand Fujifilm X100VI units are now sold below the retail price at BHphoto here.

I highlight “below retail price” because that’s rarely the case when it comes to X100VI. Some heroes tried to sell the X100VI for as little as 18,000 dollar :)

Anyway, a few used units are now available at BHphoto here.

Thanks Craig :)
