Today we can share with you the price of the upcoming Fujifilm GFX100SII.
Obviously the price will be lower than the one of the flagship Fujifilm GFX100II.
But the question is how much lower.
And today we can tell you that in US Dollar as well as in Euro.
According to our trusted sources, the Fujifilm GFX100S II will cost $5,000. In Europe it will cost €5,500 .
Diglloyd has reported about our rumor and shared some thoughts here.
ePhotozine published its Fujifilm GFX100 II review, and it is full of superlatives for the Fujifilm GFX100II. Their Pros and Cons:
Pros
Cons
You can read the full review at ePhotozine here. And down below I will share more GFX100II reviews which include more superlatives like “pure insanity”, “game changer” and what not!
If there is one camera I am asking for since a long time, than it’s a GFX100 that looks like a Fujifilm X-T camera.
A camera that Fujifilm had actually already shown us in form of a mockup here.
And when FujiRumors started to share the first Fujifilm GFX100SII rumors, suddenly “rumors” about the GFX100SII started to appear pretty much everywhere.
One of them was shared here, and it was given to us 100% rocksolid. The rumor said the Fujifilm GFX100SII will certainly have a retro layout like the X-T5.
Of course I was super excited about it and at the same time hopeful that our sources would confirm it.
Well, now our sources have spoken. Trusted sources. And here is what they have to say about.
The Fujifilm GFX100SII will not use retro dials, but have the usual PSAM dial we already know from the new GFX100II as well as the GFX100S and GFX50SII.
Don’t get me wrong: PSAM cameras are easy and fast to operate. Nobody denies that. And I can live happily with my PSAM styled GFX100S cameras. It would just be even more fun (and better looking) if it would have retro dials.
Cinema rental house Old Fast Glass made a custom Fujifilm GFX100 II cinema camera. For now it’s for rental only but there are good chances there will be units for sale in future.
KEY FEATURES:
Down below is the announcement from their IG page as well as a video introduction made by CineD.
NEW GEAR! We are thrilled to announce the latest project from @old_fast_glass and @ofgcustoms – The OFG Customs 65.
With the release of the @fujifilmx_us GFX100 II, we knew we wanted to develop a camera system that would harness the full potential of this camera. It has one of the largest available sensors for cinematography approaching the size of the Alexa 65.
We modified the camera, and designed a new housing that completely integrates the camera, RAW Recorder, video/power distro, cooling system, cage, handle/EVF, and baseplate systems, ready for the demands of professional sets. We wanted to remove the mess of cables, rods, adapters, and messy builds that come with using compact mirrorless cameras. In short, we wanted you to pull the camera out of the case, attached a battery and lens, and you’re ready to shoot.
Why make a GFX100 II bigger? It’s already a capable, compact camera ready to shoot professional video. But we wanted the full size, “studio” version of the camera with more functionality. Now you can go into the field with an OFG Customs 65 as A-Cam, and take a couple standard GFX100 II as your B and C-Cams, and they will all give you the same gorgeous images, but in different form factors for different needs. The 65 is on sticks, dolly, crane, or handheld, while the stripped down GFX100 II can be on a gimbal, car mount, or even crash cam. And they will all be giving post production the same look, and the same codec, making both set and post production easier.
If you are curious to get first looks at the camera, we will be at NAB Sunday and Monday, Central Hall near the Fujililm exhibit. We hope to see you there! The camera is available now for rentals!
Footage coming soon!

CineD is at the NAB show and has the GFX100II cinema camera covered on YouTube (see below)
Old Fast Glass says in the interview they would not have made the effort to make such a camera if it had only a full frame sensor. But when the GFX100II came out the specs where amazing and the sensor is much larger than full frame, so they decided they want to make it. They also love Fujifilm color science.
Old Fast Glass also said that Fujifilm was very excited about this project. It’s a win-win for both, as it validates their GFX camera for cinema use.
You can check out the full interview below as well as see the camera covered on the CineD website.
Photons to Photos has published its dynamic range results for the Fujifilm GFX100II.
As to expect, the GFX100II now takes the lead as the mirrorless camera that will give you the highest dynamic range with a slight boost over the Fujifilm GFX100S due to an optimized sensor design, as we explained here.
So, if you want to have a bit more margins in terms of dynamic range, the Fujifilm GFX100II is the way to go. And all this by delivering substantially more megapixel over its high resolution full frame competitors.
There are only 3 digital cameras that are better than the GFX100II listed on Photons to Photos:
But the above are not mirrorless cameras. And they are huge, heavy and cost more than my car.
You can access the comparison we made above at this link (and also make your own one).

At the last X Summit in February, Fujifilm promised substantial Kaizen firmware love for several cameras to come between spring and summer.
Now the first batch of firmware updates has been released for the first cameras, and it includes autofocus improvements, touch to track AF in video, red frame indicator in video and more. All details below.
To see what else will come for which cameras in the near future, check out the dedicated article here.
Fujifilm has released firmware updates for Fujifilm GFX100II, Fujifilm X-H2S and the Fujifilm FT-XH file transmitter grip.
I have received word by an anonymous source (thanks), that the Fujifilm GFX100SII will be announced in “around 6 weeks”.
Let’s do the math: the message has been sent to me on April 8, so 6 weeks later would mean the announcement should happen around May 20.
But since words matter: the source said “around” 6 weeks. So it could happen on May 20, but it could also happen a few days before or after that.
Thanks to the anonymous source for letting me know about it.

Recently Fujifilm hosted an event for 200 journalists in Yokohama during CP+.
It’s the famous event in which Fujifilm displayed 10 X mount lenses under study.
The French website LesNumerique was present at the event and reported that they had been told that the Fujifilm GFX50R successor is currently “under development”.
Add to that that “rumors” about the imminent arrival of the Fujifilm GFX100R are popping up ahead of every X summit of the last 2 years, and it’s understandable why many have high hopes for a GFX50R replacement to come soon.
But what have our sources to say about it?
Well, here it is:
Whoever told LesNumerique that the GFX50R successor is under development was 100% wrong. And whoever shared any GFX50R successor rumor ever was willingly misleading you with fake clickbait rumors.
Phew, luckily FujiRumors never shared a single GFX50R replacement rumor ;).
The truth is this: according to our trusted sources (multiple trusted sources), Fujifilm is currently investing the staggering amount of zero dollars/euro/yen/whatever into the development of the Fujifilm GFX50R successor.
No, we will not hear anything about the Fujifilm X-Pro4 on February 20. Nothing.
And nothing also about the Fujifilm X-E5, or X-T40 or X-T300, or X80, or GFX100R.
The truth is this: the only camera to be announced on February 20 will be the Fujifilm X100VI.
I guess the Fujifilm X100VI is just too important for Fujifilm and it’s best that it does not get any distraction from other cameras on launch day.
Many of you guys might have seen it coming, due to the lack of rumors about other cameras.
But FujiRumors will make sure that the lack of rumors about other cameras will end soon ;).
But this does not mean we can’t get any surprises on February 20.
I still hope (no rumor) that Fujifilm will give us a new X mount roadmap, or makes major Kaizen firmware announcements, or they could even announce new lenses considering the fact that our sources said the X100VI is the only camera coming on February 20 (and we have leaked images of future XF lenses already months ago). But to be clear: as of now, I have not received information about other gear to come on February 20 (which does not mean it can’t come).
And Fujifilm has also teased a major XApp update, which hopefully might also be announced on February 20 (not a rumor, just a hope).
But they could also show us protoypes of gear to come.
As far as I can remember, at every X Summit something happened that I did not see coming, and I am confident that also this time we will get some surprises.
So definitely stay tuned on FujiRumors on February 20. We will cover it all, and you won’t miss anything.
