Hasselblad X2D vs Fujifilm GFX100 II vs GFX100S vs GFX100 – The Complete Specs Comparison

We already shared the specs comparison between the GFX100II, GFX100S and GFX100.

I initially also included the Hasselblad X2D in that comparison, but I realised that the X2D was just out of context in that comprehensive list.

The list had to be adjusted to best make sense.

For example, the GFX only comparison did not include the voice “joystick” or “eye autofocus” as all of the GFX cameras have it. But when comparing it to the Hasselblad X2D, the voice “joystick” and “eye AF” were important, since the X2D does not offer it and these are major things to consider when comparing these cameras.

That’s why I share the X2D comparison separately in this post.

It also helps to split up the discussion better and make this one a more X2D vs GFX centric discussion.

Fujifilm GFX100 II vs GFX100S vs GFX100 – The Complete Specs Comparison

Here is the specs comparison between the GFX100II, GFX100S and GFX100 based on all the rumors specs of the Fujifilm GFX100II.

There are some specs missing (size and weight for example), but I will share updates as soon as those leak too. But already now we have so many specs that we get a clear idea on how they differ.

100% of the leaked specs you find in the list have been leaked by FujiRumors. That’s why a massive thanks goes to our sources!

Intriguing Theory: Fujifilm to Merge GFX100 and GFX100S into a Single Camera (GFX100 II) – Tony Northrup

Tony Northrup made a video where they cover the Fujifilm GFX100 II rumors (btw, thanks Tony for mentioning FujiRumors as the source… it’s a rare thing these days ;)).

Now, since it covers what we have shared already, there is nothing new to find out for FujiRumors.

However, he has an explanation on what “angled top plate” could practically mean (and it would make a whole lot of sense), but he also has an intriguing theory regarding the future GFX camera lineup.

In fact, when guessing the price of the GFX100 II (the video was recorded before we leaked the price), Tony said:

I think the price is going to be lower than the original GFX100 because I think they want to sell more. And since I think they are combining the GFX100 and GFX100S, I think they are going to drop the price down to $8,500″

Now, if this was indeed the case, then merging 2 camera lines into 1 could simplify the lineup even more and maybe free up more resources for other concepts.

Maybe Fujifilm could add that more retro X-T styled Fujifilm GFX camera to the lineup that we have seen in form of a mockup already here. Or keep up developing the Fujifilm GFX-R rangefinder line at a faster pace.

Certainly it could be a possibility to merge GFX100 and GFX100S, especially now considering the size difference is no longer a major factor (optional battery grip) and also, looking at the leaked image, the GFX100 and GFX100S look to be very close in terms of ergonomics.

So guys, merging two lines to free up resources for other GFX concepts? What do you think about it?

Fujifilm GFX100 Successor about the Size of GFX100S but With Angled Top Plate

We already told you that the Fujifilm GFX100 successor will no longer have an integrated battery grip, but come with an optional battery grip.

The main benefit of this decision made by Fujifilm is that it will be considerably smaller than the current GFX100.

In fact, according to our trusted sources, the Fujifilm GFX100 replacement will have about the same size of the Fujifilm GFX100S.

But to be clear: it won’t have exactly the size of the GFX100S nor use the same body shared by the Fujifilm GFX100S and GFX50SII.

In fact, it will be a new body with an interesting design choice: according to our sources, it will have an angled top plate. Don’t ask me more about it because “angled top plate” is all I know, too.

Fujifilm GFX100S Bug Fix Firmware 2.01 Released, but Some Now Prefer This Workaround

Fujifilm has finally released the Fujifilm GFX100S firmware fix they promised us a couple of days ago.

The curious thing about this bug: people were forced to use a workaround for a while, and I know that some fellow GFX100S shooters, who applied the workaround, now actually stick with it as they find it more convenient that keeping the button pressed to change exposure compensation.

So, not all the bad comes to hurt, at least not for those, who now stick with the workaround solution.

Down below you find all the firmware details and download links.

Fujifilm GFX100S Firmware “Still Being Evaluated” and GFX50SII Firmware 2.01 Released

Fujifilm has released the new firmware for the Fujifilm GFX50SII, which fixes the bug with the exposure compensation button.

The Fujifilm GFX100S suffers the same issue after the latest firmware, but so far it has not yet received the bug fix firmware. Fujifilm writes:

Revised firmware for FUJIFILM GFX100S is still being evaluated, although it was planned to be released on May 31.
We will release the revised version A.S.A.P. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

In the meantime, here is the workaround (which some might even prefer).

Fujifilm Finds Temporary Work Around for GFX100S/GFX50SII Exposure Compensation Bug (via FujiRumors ;) )

Yesterday Fujifilm released a statement, where they acknowledge the exposure compensation bug introduced on Fujifilm GFX100S and GFX50SII with the latest firmware and they said a fix will be out on May 31.

Of course FujiRumors reported about it yesterday, but we also suggested a temporary workaround based on a recommendation that came from one of our fellow Fujifilm GFX users members here.

Well, it looks like Fujifilm read our article and has now updated their statement suggesting the very same workaround.

The exposure compensation can be used by changing the [EXPO. COMP. BUTTON SETTING] to [ON/OFF SWITCH], which will be the temporary workaround until the revised firmware is released.
*The menu flow to make the above setting is as follows.
[SETUP MENU] ➔ [BUTTON/DIAL SETTING] ➔ [EXPO. COMP. BUTTON SETTING] ➔ [ON/OFF SWITCH].

Always happy to help, Fujifilm :)

And thanks again to our amazing Fujifilm GFX group and Carlos in this case! You made it into an official Fujifilm press note.

Fujifilm Removes New Firmware for GFX100S and GFX50SII and Promises Fix on May 31 (and Work Around Solution)

Yesterday Fujifilm has released lots of firmware updates for 13 Fujifilm cameras (including some major updates!!).

Two of those cameras were the Fujifilm GFX100S and the GFX50SII.

Sadly, after updating, many FujiRumors readers started to report to me that they were now incurring in issues with the new firmware.

Well, Fujifilm has now pulled off the firmware for those two cameras and said they will release a firmware fix on May 31.

Fujifilm writes:

We have confirmed a problem with the exposure compensation function not working properly.
Therefore, we have removed the download button for this version.
We will release fixed firmware on May 31.

As soon as the new firwmare is online, I will report about it on FujiRumors.

Also, fellow Fujifilm GFX group member Carlos shared a workaround and he shared it in our group.

“I found a solution or “work-around” to Firmware (FW) 2.0 disabling the Exposure Compensation button on my GFX100s. The solution “is in the manual”, as some repeatedly and annoyingly say.
Go to the menu, and instead of choosing “+/- when pressing” (which was the default setting from the factory set-up), now choose “ +/- on/off switch”.
With this option, you will press on your camera the +/- Exp Comp button, then turn the back wheel to make a change, and then press the +/- Exp Comp button to deactivate the back wheel from altering the ExpComp. If you don’t deactivate it, turning the back wheel will not alter your shutter speed. “

We remind you that Fujifilm removed also the XApp from the App stores due to issues with the display. A fix is on the way also there, but you can continue to use the App with no problem if you have already installed it.

DPRTV Declares Fujifilm GFX100S Best Camera for Landscape Photography


Which are the best cameras for landscape photography?

DPRTV looks at three different price points and makes its recommendations.

There is also a Fujifilm camera among the winners, the Fujifilm GFX100S, in the “money is no object” category.

DPRTV says:

There is no disputing that the Fujifilm GFX medium format cameras are the best option for landscape. Our choice is the Fujifilm GFX100S. What is not to love: you get that amazing 100MP sensor clearly well suited for landscape photography. We also prefer the GFX100S body over the GFX100 because it is more compact. You get nice ergonomics. The Fuji style tilt screen is certainly nice for landscape when you are at awkward angles and it is just easier to travel with.

Fujifilm also has an excellent line of lenses, including the GF20-35mmF4, which is very rare in medium format to have an ultra wide range like that and it’s also a very sharp lens.

It has IBIS and it’s very effective.

If you need more megapixel, you can shoot in multi-shot and get 400MP images.

There is simply no better pick for landscape photography than the Fujifilm GFX100S, if money is no object.
