Fujifilm GFX100S II

Fujifilm introduced the GFX100S II in 2024 as a medium format camera built around a 102-megapixel sensor. That resolution suits photographers who want very high detail, whether for large prints or careful cropping after the shoot.

At 883 g, it is a body you can carry on location, and the weather sealing makes outdoor shoots a realistic option.

Lenses come from the Fujifilm G mount, and framing is done through an electronic viewfinder. For video, the camera records 4K at up to 30 frames per second.

Video tops out at 4K, recorded at up to 30 frames per second, with 1080p available at up to 60. The higher frame rate therefore exists only at HD resolution, not in 4K.

Colour is captured at 10-bit 4:2:2 in-camera. Compared with basic 8-bit recording, that keeps more tonal steps in skies and gradients and gives colourists more room to grade before banding appears.

The maximum data rate is 720 Mbps, so files grow quickly. Planning fast, high-capacity cards and a sensible offload routine is part of shooting with this camera.

Recording formats span H.264, H.265 and ProRes, while Blackmagic RAW is available through the HDMI output, so that format depends on external recording gear.

The core of this camera is a 102-megapixel medium format sensor. That resolution gives you real cropping room: you can tighten a composition after the shoot and still have plenty of pixels for a detailed final image. Even a crop that keeps only half the frame still leaves about 50 megapixels, and the full files support very large prints.

Framing happens through an electronic viewfinder, not an optical one. It shows the sensor's live image, so the exposure and colour you judge before shooting are what the file will record, which reduces surprises at the review stage.

Lens choices sit within the Fujifilm G mount, the system built for this format, so any native lens you add is designed to pair with the large sensor. That keeps the kit consistent as it grows.

The body is weather sealed, which protects it against dust and moisture in the field. Sealing is not waterproofing, so it still pays to shelter the camera during sustained heavy rain.

The body weighs 883 g. That is a figure to plan around for travel and location shooting, and it shapes how a medium format kit gets packed and carried.
