EISA Awards: Fujifilm GFX100RF and XF500mmF5.6 Chosen for This Year’s Highly Exclusive “Finest” Club

As usual, EISA conducted a brutal selection process. After months of rigorous field testing, they hand-picked only the most exceptional products worthy of a spot on their prestigious list.

Below, you’ll find this ultra-short list of winners — and it’s an honor that the Fujinon XF500mmF5.6 and the Fujifilm GFX100RF make it on that exclusive list.

Another testament to their professionalism is the in-depth, insightful commentary they provide on each award-winning product. Their write-ups are so sagacious, it’s almost as if they were… I don’t know… written straight by the companies’ marketing departments.

And please, stop suggesting EISA dishes out awards just to rake in cash from those notoriously expensive licensing fees. The mere thought that they might award products in order to earn thousands of dollars per logo use is preposterous. Obviously, this is the toughest, most hard-earned award in the industry, and every winner has fought valiantly for their spot.

Now, enjoy the very short list of winners of photography related gear below.

Fujifilm Italy Says There Won’t be Any Lower Resolution GFX-RF and No Conversion Lenses for Fujifilm GFX100RF

Today I was listening to an older podcast with Fujifilm Italy about the Fujifilm GFX100RF.

It was an overall interesting podcast that I invite you to listen if you are fluent in Italian (link below).

But for the purpose of this article I would just like to highlight two things that have been said by the Italian Fujifilm manager.

  • no lower resolution Fujifilm GFX-RF coming
  • the X100VI has the Fujifilm WCL-X100 and TCL-X100 converision lenses, but Fujifilm won’t make any conversion lenses for the GFX100RF (the manager did sound absolute sure about this)

I can only hope that third parties will jump in and offer conversion lenses, just as they did with the Fujifilm X100VI, where we have various third party conversion lenses:

You can listed at the podcast at Discorsi Fotografici here.

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

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
  • no joystick
  • 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, but offers a 5.76m-Dot EVF, 100 megapixel, weather sealing, joystick 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, joystick, 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 GFX100RF, X-M5 and X100VI Orders Resumed, but Demand is “Incredibly High”

Due to US tariff policy, Fujifilm stopped to take orders on the Fujiiflm GFX100RF, black Fujifilm X-M5 and the Fujifilm X100VI, as we reported here.

However, it looks like stores are now opening pre-orders again, since you can pre-order it again at most stores.

At the time of this post B&H Photo has still the “request assistance notice on all of these cameras, but that should be gone any moment now.

You can place your order other stores such as at Adorama for GFX100RF here, for black X-M5 here and for X100VI here and at Moment for GFX100RF here, X-M5 here and X100VI here.

Adorama expects to have stock for all of this gear in August 2025.

Moment writes for all of them:

As of June 2nd, 2025, orders for the Fujifilm GFX100RF have resumed. Due to incredibly high demand, there is still a significant Pre-order wait.

Don’t ask me how long this will last. I know some tariffs have been lowered significantly, and that definitely helped to give shipping a chance.

But I have no idea for how long this time window will remain open.
