Photons to Photos: Fujifilm GFX100 Preliminary Dynamic Range and Other Sensor Measurements Results

Fujifilm GFX100 Sensor Data

Photons to Photos has released prelimiary Fujifilm GFX100 (non production) sensor measurement data.

In terms of dynamic range, the 100 megapixel GFX100 beats all full frame cameras. If you need even more dynamic range, you have to pay $40,000 for a Phase One.

The bump you see at ISO800 is due to dual conversion gain.

Earlier today we shared the DPReview lab shots, which in my eyes showed impressive results in favor of the Fujifilm GFX100.
