GFX 100

Features

• 102MP medium format BSI CMOS sensor
• 5-axis sensor-based image stabilization
• G lens mount

Fujifilm refers to the 102MP sensor inside the GFX 100 as being «large» format, although it bears the exact same dimensions as the sensors inside the GFX 100’s sister models that Fujifilm classes as medium format. It boasts a back-illuminated design for better light gathering, and is fronted by a conventional Bayer RGB color filter array, rather than being based on the X-Trans architecture found inside most of the company’s X-series models.

Fujifilm GFX 100 specs

Sensor: Medium format, back-illuminated 102MP sensor with Bayer color filter array

Lens mount: G Mount

Screen: 3.2-inch touchscreen LCD with three-axis tilt, 2.36 million dots

Viewfinder: Detachable EVF, 5.76 million dots, 0.86x magnification

Burst shooting: 5fps (2.9fps with electronic shutter)

Autofocus: Hybrid phase- and contrast-detect AF

Video: 4K to 30p

Connectivity: USB-C (3.2 Gen1), micro HDMI (type D), 3.5mm mic port, 3.5mm headphone port, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2

Battery life: Approx. 800 frames (CIPA rating)Weight: Approx. 1,320g / 46.6oz. (including batteries and memory card)

The company’s G lens mount in front of the sensor accepts a small but growing collection of GF lenses, which is split between prime and zoom options, and currently covers a reasonable selection of focal lengths and apertures. Some of these options have their own Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) systems, although the GFX 100 comes equipped with its own five-axis sensor-based stabilization system that can work on its own or in concert with these systems, to the tune of 5.5 stops – not something we’ve seen before on a medium format camera.

While the GFX 50S and GFX 50R have each been furnished with a contrast-detect AF system, the Fujifilm GFX 100 combines this with phase-detect AF to create a hybrid system. The phase-detect component charges 3.76 million pixels on the sensor to perform focus (although it doesn’t have 3.76 million focusing points, as such), and this bodes well for fast focus and subject tracking, both for stills and when recording videos.

Videos themselves can be recorded to both DCI and UHD flavors of 4K, each in a choice of 29.97, 25, 24 and 23.98p, for up to 60 minutes at a time. 2K and Full HD videos, at 2048 x 1080 or 1920 x 1080 resolutions respectively, can be recorded at the same frame rates as above, in addition to 59.94 / 50p options, while 3.5mm ports for microphones and headphones are located on the camera’s side.

So what’s new?

Aside from the 102MP sensor, the main differences between the GFX 100 and the previous GFX 50S and GFX 50R are the sensor-based image stabilization system, the option to capture 16-bit raw files, an EVF with a far higher resolution, a faster 5fps burst mode, and the presence of phase-detect AF to form a hybrid AF setup. 

There’s no viewfinder built into the body itself, although a detachable one that slips into the camera’s hotshoe is provided as standard – and it boasts quite the spec sheet too. Its 5.76 million dots give it a resolution that’s only matched by the Panasonic S1 and S1R right now, while its 0.86x magnification is particularly generous.   

The viewfinder is joined by three separate displays: one standard display on the rear, a sub-monitor just beneath this, and a status LCD on the top plate, a design that mirrors the setup of pro DSLR cameras such as the Nikon D5 or Canon EOS-1D X Mark II. The main display appears to be the same as that on the GFX 50S, namely a 3.2-inch touchscreen that can be adjusted over three axes with 2.36 million dots, which compares very favorably to those on other high-end mirrorless cameras.

The camera has been designed with two SD-type card slots, and these accept SDXC and SDHC (and older SD) cards. Each supports UHS-I and UHS-II cards, as well as the Video Speed Class V90 standard. The body accepts two NP-T125 batteries, which gives it a very respectable battery life of 800 frames per charge (according to CIPA), and USB charging is also possible.

DPReview Fujifilm GFX100 Review Image Quality Sensational The Best We Have Ever Reviewed. Outperforms FULL FRAME

• August 7, 2019

Fujifilm GFX100

DPReview published their full Fujifilm GFX100 review.

It’s not a perfect camera, but from the image quality point of view, it is simply the best camera DPReview has ever tested.

Senior editor Barney Britton says:

“The GFX 100 is the first medium format camera I’ve ever used – film or digital – which doesn’t feel like a compromise. In almost all respects, the GFX 100 handles like a professional DSLR, but with all of the benefits of mirrorless, plus excellent 4K video capabilities and the unimpeachable image quality offered by a cutting-edge sensor. It’s not perfect, and it’s not cheap, but if I was a working professional photographer I’d buy a GFX 100 in a heartbeat.“

Compared to other high resolution cameras:

“Having said that the GFX 100 significantly outperforms full frame cameras, we should still consider the Panasonic Lumix DC-S1R, since it’s able to shoot and combine multiple shots in order to offer resolution and light capture (and hence tonal quality) comparable to a larger sensor. But, while it does so in a smaller, lighter body and doesn’t have any phase detection elements to limit its usable dynamic range, its multi-shot mode only gets its best results when tripod-mounted, and applied to static subjects (and its use of electronic shutter limits its use with strobes). For most high-res applications, the GFX is the simpler, stronger, and yes, more expensive option.

 If you need the quality it brings, the Phase One will outperform the Fujifilm, but if you can put up with the (sensational) image quality of the Fujifilm, then its smaller size, image stabilization, increased battery life, attractive JPEGs and video capabilities make it a much more flexible tool for considerably less money.“

Introduction

The Fujifilm GFX 100 is a mirrorless camera with a 102 megapixel, 43.8mm x 32.9mm medium-format back illuminated CMOS sensor with phase detection pixels.
This sensor is approximately 1.7x larger than the one found in a 35mm full frame camera, and is the first ever back illuminated sensor with phase detection pixels to appear in a medium format camera. The main benefit is much improved autofocusing speed, claimed to be up to twice as fast as previous GFX models.
The GFX 100 is also the first ever medium format camera to feature in-body image stabilization (IBIS), which delivers five-axis image stabilisation of up to 5.5 stops, and the first to offer 4K 30p video recording (in 10bit 4:2:2 quality).
Other key specifications include an X-Processor 4 image processor, weather-resistant magnesium alloy body with integrated vertical grip, 5.76 million dot removable EVF with 100% coverage and a magnification of 0.86x, 2.36 million dot tilting 3.2-inch LCD display, Face and Eye Detection AF, and an ISO range of 50-102400.
There’s also 5fps continuous shooting, shutter speeds from 60 minutes to 1/4000th sec using the mechanical focal plane shutter or up to 1/16000 sec via the electronic shutter, dual UHS-II SD memory card slots, interval shooting and multiple exposure modes, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and a USB-C port.
The recommended retail price of the Fujifilm GFX 100 is £9999 / $9999 body only in the UK and USA respectively.

Попрощайтесь с памятью на своём смартфоне

Стоит также отметить, что современные смартфоны с сенсорами на 48 Мп и 40 Мп по умолчанию снимают с применением технологии объединения пикселей, поэтому мы ожидаем того же и от 100-мегапиксельных сенсоров. Существуют также технологии сжатия изображений без потери качества, такие как HEIF. Понятно, что любой смартфон с камерой на 100 Мп без такой технологии почти наверняка потребует целую тонну памяти, в которую нужно будет охранять эти массивные фотографии.

Мы также должны принять во внимание обработку изображений. Отличное фотография на смартфон — это больше, чем просто съемка красивой сцены, поскольку многокадровая обработка, машинное обучение, сегментация изображений и другие методы являются сердцем современных мобильных камер

Камеры сегодняшних смартфонов со сверхвысоким разрешением действительно могут выдавать снимки с уже совершенной полной обработкой. Однако на сегодняшний день лишь немногие чипы предлагают поддержку обработанных снимков, сделанных на камеру с разрешением 48 Мп, не говоря уже об обработанных фото с еще более высоким разрешением.

Говоря о процессорах, нужно помнить, что скорость обработки фотографий со 100-мегапиксельной камеры напрямую зависит от их производительности. Qualcomm уже заявила о том, что их чипсеты обзаведутся поддержкой 192-мегапиксельных снимков (то есть изображений без дополнительной обработки), но способность обработать эти снимки — это другой вопрос. Съемка в RAW на Mate 20 Pro уже приводит к небольшой задержке и появлению уведомления «сохраняется». Ещё давайте вспомним про Nokia 9 PureView, который для достижения высокого разрешения обрабатывает сразу несколько изображений, хотя и с разных камер, и этот процесс занимает, пожалуй, ну уж очень много времени.

Все это не означает, что устанавливать в смартфоны 100-мегапиксельную камеру не имеет смысла. Просто основное преимущество такой камеры заключается в том, что вы можете получить дневные фотографии с большим количеством делателей. Но есть ли в этом такая необходимость, когда у современных смартфонов уже есть такое разнообразие опций, как телеобъективы, широкоугольные объективы и даже сенсоры перископического типа? Если производители камер не придумали совершенно новый способ, как создать 100-мегапиксельную камеру так, чтобы сенсор получился компактным, а также хорошо справлялся с фото в темноте, сейчас ее внедрение кажется плохой затеей.
