Fujifilm GFX100RF Starts Shipping: Customer Feedback and Slowest Shutter Speed for Sharp Photos

The Fujifilm GFX100RF has started shipping in some countries. In the images you can see above, you can see the brand new Fujifilm GFX100RF shipped to FR-reader Mark in Germany.

His first feedback about the camera:

First impressions: It is beautifully light for a medium format camera. Doesn’t look as bulky in real-life as in some photos. EVF is nice and big for a rangefinder-style. Dials are a bit stiff for my taste, but better than accidentally changing them I guess.

Speaking of feedback, down below I will link two videos from Italian YouTube channels (Marco Fazio and Riflessioni Fotografiche).

They tested the Fujifilm GFX100RF for 2 days at an event of Fujifilm in Venice and Burano and they both, independently, came to the same conclusion: you can shoot at as low as 1/20th and still get sharp pictures.

This is in line with what Vistek, Luca Petralia, Docma and many other said: at about 1/30th or even 1/20th you still get sharp images.

I guess it depends on your style of shooting, but out of curiosity I checked the shutter speeds of hundreds of my last images as I reported here, and I found only one at 1/33th, a few at 1/50th to 1/80th, but the almost totality of my images is well above that.

So for me 1/20th is a mark that I basically do not reach for handheld shooting anyway hence I could live very well without IBIS on the GFX100RF with its 28mm equivalent lens and leaf shutter for minimal vibrations created by the camera.

Anyway, Fujifilm has published its own chart showing at which point IBIS would be beneficial for the Fujifilm GFX100RF. In that chart, Fujifilm seems to play on the safer side, giving about 1/40th as the minimal mark for sharp images. In real life, though, people seem to be able to shoot at 1/30th or 1/20th.

As said, the 1/20th and even 1/40th mark is very hard to hit for me. But check your images and see if you regularly shoot below 1/20th.
