GFX100RF for the weekend
- Thread starter The_Crow
- Start date
Good for you 
I'm looking forward to seeing some sample photos and seeing your thoughts on how it handles as a walkaround kit. It'd also be interesting to see some handheld shots at slow shutter speeds. And of course, if you're able to find some subjects with loads of fine detail, it'd be interesting to see that 100MP sensor put through its paces.
Enjoy your time with the camera.

Ooh, interesting. You might regret offering that
- Is the AF a bit sluggish and noisy like the X100 series or fast and silent like the Fujicron lenses? (AF-S only, don’t care about AF-S)
- What does the noise look like at ISO 12,800 with exposure times of around 1/15–1/30 sec?
- If you add things to “My Menu” and, when in shooting mode, press the “Menu” button, does it immediately go to the first item in My Menu or (like the X100VI) does it go to the last menu item you used, wherever that may be?
- Would I be right in assuming that custom settings are like all cameras since the X-E4, ie include a handful of shooting settings over and above image recipes?
- Does it have the features introduced in the X100VI where you can selection the options in (a) the view modes available on the function button, and (b) the focus modes available in “AF all”?
- Does the crop mode lever on the front get too easily knocked…
- …and can it be disabled or reconfigured?

Please, by all means, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this belong in the MF forum? I understand that folks might want to discuss this and share opinions, but I'm not so sure that this is the place to do it. Seems way OT.

Iwan pleeeeaaassseee share images, unedited
Does DPRewiew accept the file size?
If you do it in the medium format forum, share the link please here in the poor peoples' Fujifilm-X forum
Cheers,
Martin
Though this thread would be best served in the medium format forum, I would like to know the same thing that Bill wanted to know. How does the camera’s IQ perform with lower shutter speeds (not on a tripod). The absence of any image stabilization, whether in-body or lens, is the one stumbling block for me.

I’ve eased my concern on this a little by looking back at some urban night shots with my 50R, and the exposure settings on these suggest that I’d rarely need to go below 1/30s with the f/4 lens even after accounting for the increased pixel density. I think that’s just about workable. Fine margins, but workable.
To be honest my main concern (other than “black or silver?”) is having to deal with files that are up to 200MB in size. If there was an option to throw away all the data outside a crop then I’d be much happier, because I’d often be shooting this in 50mm 5:4 mode, which is something like 56MP.

Hi Iwan,
You have been doing landscape photography for a long time with the X series cameras. After using it I'd love to know if you feel your images look better at various print sizes and will this help you sell your work better.
Thank you,
Morris

Is there any way to prefocus/zone focus?

Discussion of this camera actually works in the APSC or m43 or FF forums as well as in the MF forum. The reason being, Fuji plainly sees at least a slice of the potential user base as people who will be delighted with it as an all-in-one "zoom." That is what that lever is all about. It's like the filmsim dial on the X-T50. Many DPR gearheads think it's a waste and probably see the "crop lever" the same way. But if you read the Jonas Rask review at his site (I haven't seen his YT clip, just read the review and looked at the samples there), he has been privy to the development just about from inception, and this is a principal concept of the camera.
DPR's first-look review has a great handy-dandy cheat-sheet chart showing the crop factor in full-frame terms at several full-frame equivalent focal lengths for crops or "zooms" on this camera. It also shows the true 33X44 medium format focal length for each. At certain focal lengths or crops, you're getting FF, APSC, and m43 crop factor in full-frame terms.
In other words, APSC (and FF and m43 folks too for that matter) have plenty of reason to be discussing this camera. That doesn't mean they'll all want the camera. But it's relevant to these contexts.

How does it compare with something like xt5 with an 18mm f1.4 lens if you have that

How big are the file raw and large Jpeg?

RAW file sizes below. I've not seen JPG files sizes.

Thanks I knew they had to be large the X100VI files are 85MbRAW file sizes below. I've not seen JPG files sizes.

This is the main thing I’m trying to figure out how to cope with. It’s likely that most of the shots I’d take with this camera would contain around 56MP, so I’d really appreciate the option for a “hard crop”, the way Ricoh does it, where the raw files contain only the data within the crop, not the whole sensor area. That would halve the amount of storage needed and processing power required.

The size of the sensor isn’t a primary concern for me. This ticks a bunch of boxes that no other camera does when it comes to how well it fits how I like to use a camera and what I use it for. If I list all the shooting scenarios that are important to me, this covers nearly all of them, and being a fixed lens camera it simplifies life a lot. Having to make choices gets in the way.
I don’t really do YouTube, but once or twice I’ve stumbled across GxAce, who seems to think similarly to me about how important it is to simplify the thought process before an image and how certain cameras (generally fixed-lens ones) really click into that like 99% of them don’t:
If Fuji made an APS-C camera this size with a 40MP sensor that didn’t suffer the current version’s hot pixels, fixed Tri-Elmar style lens so I could get that resolution at roughly 28/35/50mm equivalents, big left-side EVF, and all the aspect ratio options, that would suit me just as well. Realistically I’d much prefer it, because there’d be room to fit IBIS in and it would probably be a good £1000 cheaper. But no-one ever gets the exact camera they want. The fact that I’m paying for way more pixels than I need is one of the biggest compromises I have to make here.
