Josselin Cornou, member of our gigantic Fujifilm GFX group and “heavy Sony user” (as he called himself), was able to test the Fujifilm GFX100II for two weeks.
He shared his impressions in this post, where he answers also questions members have.
He was very impressed by the Fujifilm GFX100 II, so much so that he says:
I finally come to the conclusion that the GFX can fully suits my photo + video needs
The GFX100 II behaved similarly to an A7r5, offering a very similar same type of specs – and similar shutter lag.
I ended up preordering the camera. While this is still 100MP, this is the first Medium Format camera which is bridging the gap with Full Frame in terms of Autofocus and video capabilities
When asked by members about autofocus accuracy, he says in the comments:
For portrait, it’s on par with the A7r5. I am sharing a video below to show you how it focuses on the 55mm f1.7 (which is not a Linear Motor lens, so slower AF than 20-35mm lenses). I was quite impressed – and results looked on part with Sony.
