The new GFX100S II body brings substantial improvements to the table and brings some of the best features from the GFX100 II.
The first Fujifilm GFX 100S had my favorite form factor of any GFX camera due to its take-anywhere size. I loved the smaller body design of the latest GFX 100 II, and of course all the improvements to autofocus and film simulation modes as well as an emphasis on faster shooting and video. But it was only a matter of time before the latest improvements transferred over to the GFX 100S line and the wait is now over.
The control dials are easy to use and the camera has enough customization to please most users. I still wish the AF joystick was a little easier to navigate menus with but that’s more a matter of practice than faulty design. The top LCD panel is still present to show camera settings, histogram, or a digital representation of shutter and aperture dials.
Portrait photographers will appreciate the latest AF algorithms. The eye detection worked flawlessly, even with a 500mm lens.There are some substantial upgrades that I’m very excited to see starting with the new displays. The rear LCD is a respectable 2.36-million dot back panel with full articulation but the real boost is the new 5.76-million dot EVF which I find far more useful for evaluating the detail of my 100-megapixel images.
I feel that most photographers will find the GFX 100S II to be all that they need in a medium-format camera.
