The video opens with an unboxing and first impressions of the Fujifilm GFX100S, highlighting the camera body, included accessories, and a notable 80 mm f1.7 lens. The host emphasizes the shift from the previous GFX100 and notes the medium format sensor advantages, including a very high resolution and improved depth of field, while also calling out the camera’s weight and ergonomic layout. He walks through the physical design, pointing out the dual SD card slots, various ports, and the electronic display options on the top plate, along with the rear articulating screen and its usability in different shooting angles. The discussion then moves to the lens side, especially the GF 80 mm f1.7, underscoring its significance as Fuji’s first fast G-mount prime under f2 and how that affects depth of field and overall image quality. After evaluating build quality, handling, and battery compatibility with existing XT4 batteries, the host tests the camera in real-world scenarios, including portrait photography and video, while sharing initial impressions about color science and film simulations. The video transitions to a short field test outside to assess stabilization and autofocus performance, noting the challenges of focus by wire in fast moving scenes and the camera’s overall video capabilities for a system that is primarily a stills-focused medium format camera. In closing, the host positions the GFX100S as a strong option for enthusiasts and professionals willing to invest in medium format, comparing it favorably against the Hasselblad X1D II for its autofocus, stabilization, and ecosystem, while acknowledging some caveats for video use. The overall verdict praises the GFX100S for delivering solid stills performance with credible video capability, while encouraging potential buyers to weigh the price against the camera’s unique sensor size and image quality potential, and inviting viewers to explore more camera content on the channel.
