Fujifilm’s GFX lineup has always stood at the intersection of innovation and pure image quality, but the GFX100 II takes things a step further. It’s not just about ultra-high resolution anymore—it’s about speed, flexibility, and cinematic performance, all wrapped in a more agile body.
If you’re a photographer or hybrid shooter looking to push boundaries, this is the GFX camera you’ve been waiting for.
102MP BSI CMOS Sensor – Evolved
At the heart of the GFX100 II is a 102MP 43.8 x 32.9mm BSI CMOS II HS sensor, paired with the new X-Processor 5. The result?
- Exceptional dynamic range
- Low-light sensitivity
- Stunning tonal transitions
But what makes this sensor different from its predecessor is speed. We’re now talking 8fps continuous shooting, subject detection AF, and significantly improved responsiveness—things we didn’t associate with medium format before.
Built for Professionals
The GFX100 II looks and feels more refined than the original GFX100.
- The redesigned body is compact yet robust, built for demanding environments.
- It features full-size HDMI, dual card slots (CFexpress Type B + SD), and a removable EVF.
Weather-sealing is also top-tier, making it a real workhorse for outdoor and studio professionals alike.
4K/60p and 8K/30p Video
Yes, this is a medium format camera that shoots 8K video.
More than just a spec—Fujifilm includes advanced video features like:
- F-Log2 (14+ stops of dynamic range)
- Apple ProRes internal recording
- Frame.io Camera to Cloud support
- Dedicated video settings menu
This turns the GFX100 II into a legitimate option for cinematographers, not just still shooters.
Film Simulations and Creative Control
The camera comes with 20+ built-in Film Simulations, including the new REALA ACE—a neutral yet punchy look that sits between Classic Chrome and Pro Neg Std.
Combined with customizable settings, this makes SOOC JPEGs an actual professional option, especially for those who want to minimize editing.
