Fujifilm GFX100S: 10 Thoughts on Using it for Weddings, 5 Things I Don’t Like and So Sensational, it Should not Exist

There is only one positive thing in having to wait so long for my Fujifilm GFX100S: I have more time to think on which GF lens I should get.

What does not make my waiting easier, though, are all the stellar reviews the Fujifilm GFX100S is getting by photographers all around the world.

Some, like Dollar Store Creative, say it is so sensational that it should not exist and they just cry in front of those amazing files, which can be mistreated to taste and yet keep holding up no matter what.

Others, like Joseph Ellis, used it also for weddings and share their initial thoughts about it (which we will sum up for you below).

And more down below.

If you are like me, hence waiting for yours to be shipped, I warmly invite you NOT to check them out. It won’t make the waiting easier.

BCN Ranking 2020 vs 2019: Fujifilm Resists Best to COVID-19 and Nikon Suffers

The BCN ranking for the year 2020 has been published. BCN collects data of about 40% of the Japanese electronics and online stores.

Every camera company lost sales compared to 2019, however, Fujifilm did best, getting very close to 2019 in terms of sales thanks to the excellent sales of the Fujifilm X-T4, the Fujifilm X-S10 and the Fujifilm X100V. The only flop of 2020 was the Fujifilm X-T200, which is in my opinion the single best entry level camera you can get, but sadly it did not get the success it deserved.

This confirms what a Fujifilm managers already hinted here: Fujifilm did better in 2020 than other brands.

Now let’s look at the data.

BREAKING: Fujifilm X-H2 Will Come in 2022 and be Worth the Wait

Fujifilm X-H2

Ok, my little boy sleeps. So let’s rock it :).

Recently Fujifilm registered a new camera, the FF210001.

The top guess in the comments was that this is the Fujifilm X-H2, and I know why.

In fact, popular youtubers and websites either gave it as a fact or speculated that the Fujifilm X-H2 will come in 2021.

FujiRumors preferred not to join the “X-H2 in 2021” club. What we did, though, is to contact our sources and ask them what they think about it.

Well, according to multiple trusted sources, the Fujifilm X-H2 will come in 2022.

Also, our top trusted Japanese source enthusiastically wrote me it will be “well worth the wait“. We scheduled a skype talk for next days, so I hope to be able to get more details soon and be allowed to share them here on FujiRumors with you guys next.

Looks like the big breakthrough for the Fujifilm X-H2 that Fujifilm was talking about will happen, but still needs a bit more time.

Ah, one more thing: more rumors are coming ;).

Fujifilm X-T4 Anyone

Look, I own the Fujifilm X-T4, and I genuinely think that it’s an fantastic camera with the arguably best value for money ratio of any camera also in 2021.

Also, Fujifilm hinted that autofocus improvements will come via firmware update, so also this could help to make the waiting time for the Fujifilm X-H2 easier.

Good things take time. You want the X-H2 to be amazing. Fujifilm will deliver, but needs just a bit more time for that.

FujiRumors Pre-Ordered the Fujifilm GFX100S and Now Asks for GF Lens Recommendations (with Poll)

Fujifilm GFX100S

Long I have lusted, long I have waited.

Long I have postponed, long I have delayed.

But as Oscar Wilde once said: “the only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it“.

Life is short, world is doomed, I’ve worked hard on two jobs for almost 10 years now (teaching and FR) and in 2020/2021 spent so little, due to a life in lockdown, so screw it, I just pre-ordered the Fujifilm GFX100S.

But my dealer warned me: I have quite a few guys ahead of me, pre-orders are strong, and it might take a while until Fujifilm will be able to deliver the GFX100S to all those, who ordered one. So now I arm myself with patience, and hope to get it in time for the summer hikes in my lovely Dolomites.

I have no hurry to build up a GFX system, as my Fujifilm X gear covers already pretty much everything, from portraits to macro, from landscape to street… and because the investment of GFX100S plus one lens is already big enough for now. And btw, good that I already own the Fujifilm X-T4, as I can swap the same NP-W235 batteries with the GFX100S, plus I also already have the original dual battery charger.

Since I am in no hurry, I can buy lenses slowly (maybe also waiting for such amazing GF lens deals like in USA), and for the beginning I will start with one focus: lenses for landscape photography.

As you can see on my Instagram, I live surrounded by the wonderful Dolomites, hence landscape photography is what brought me into photography in the first place, and it’s also a photographic genre where the Fujifilm GFX100S just shines above all others.

The big question now is: which lens should I get to start with?

I think the GF23mmF4 will come out high in your recommendations. But for me landscape photography does not mean to go always as wide as possible. On the contrary, over the years I’ve loved it more and more to user longer focal lengths and give my landscape shots a more compressed look. On my X system, the XF18-135mm gave me all that in one lens.

So should I go for something that gives me more flexibility on the long end? Such as the GF45-100mmF4, or even something longer like the GF100-200mm. Or, with 102 megapixel available, I could also simply get the 23mmF4 and just crop the heck out of it? Or is the GF32-63mmF4 the best balanced lens for my needs? Or am I missing out on something?

So tell me, what is your favorite G mount lens for landscape photography?

Feel free to let me know in the survey down below and to drop your thoughts in the comments.

For Landscape Photography, I recommed the Following G mount lens (max. 2 selections)

Fujifilm GFX100S: The Beauty is in the Details, Flat Out for Success, Why You Want this Camera and AF on X-T3 Level (pre FW 4.00)

The Beauty is in the Details

In a Fujifilm GFX100S hand-on video titled “Why You Want this Camera” (shared below), a professional landscape photographer says: “the beauty is in the details“.

He obviously referred to the massive amount of megapixel he can work with and the consequent terrific textures and details he gets out of his shots, also thanks to the sharpest lenses you can buy for any mirrorless system: the GF lenses.

But since we talk about the beauty of details, I’d like to highlight one with you that so far passed widely unnoticed.

German youtuber Thomas noticed a little welcome detail on the 3-way tilt screen of his Fujifilm GFX100S review sample. As opposed to Fuji’s previous 3-way tilt screen solution, on the GFX100S you can slide out the screen a bit when it’s tilted upwards, extending it far enough that the LCD won’t be blocked by the protruding viewfinder (see image above).

Nice detail also here :).

With that said, I will share all new GFX100S videos and blog posts below, and the German one of Thomas comes with English summary I made for you (I teach German, so I hopefully do a better job than the automatic google translation tool. And btw., if you want to hear one of my students giving feedback about my lessons, check out this article).

Also the GFX100S video shared by Pictureline called “Why You Want this Camera” is a very nice one, less focused on gear talk, and more on field use of the GFX100S. II found it quite inspirational, I think you’ll like it too.
