This high-quality viewfinder ensures precision in every frame, even when shooting in continuous mode at six frames per second. As mentioned in the review, Sam’s observation of colours, light, and shadows were perfectly represented, mirroring exactly what he captured.

 

A Compact GFX Design That Includes Revolutionary Technology

The Fujifilm GFX100RF blends the familiar rangefinder charm with cutting-edge technology, creating a camera that inspires with every frame. Unlike the larger interchangeable lens GFX cameras, the GFX100RF features a fixed lens design and a compact body, making it a versatile tool for various types of photography.

Lightweight to hold, but solid in construction, the camera left an impression on Sam: “It’s luxurious, solid, and a joy to hold.” Crafted from a single piece of aluminium, the body, plus premium accessories, including a lens hood, lens cap and camera strap radiate quality. Users will no doubt find this camera a constant handholder, rather than a shelf-sitter, the complimenting design certainly matching the output quality.

Equipped with the NP-W235 battery and connectivity options like USB Type-C and HDMI Micro terminals, it’s built for uninterrupted performance. The 35mm focal length (28mm equivalent) mirrors human vision, making it ideal for street photography. As Sam explained while at Sydney’s station, he values how this focal length captures scenes with depth and layers, letting him stand still as the crowd moves around him. Its compact form and exceptional resolution make it a standout choice for spontaneous high-quality stills.

 

Fixed Lens Design for Consistent Quality

At the heart of the Fujifilm GFX100RF is its fixed 35mm f/4 lens, meticulously crafted to deliver exceptional image quality across various shooting scenarios. Comprising 10 elements in 8 groups, including two aspherical lenses, this lens minimises distortion and aberrations, ensuring sharp images from edge to edge.

The 9-blade aperture diaphragm contributes to a smooth, pleasing bokeh, enhancing the aesthetic quality of out-of-focus areas. The fixed lens design not only simplifies the camera’s operation but also allows for a more compact body, making it easier to carry and use. This combination of advanced optics and thoughtful design ensures that every shot you take is of the highest quality.

A Versatile 35mm Lens for the Perfect View

The Fujinon 35mm F/4 lens (with 49mm filter thread), equipped with a 4-stop ND filter and leaf shutter, offers documentary and street photographers remarkable versatility. The inclusion of two aspherical lenses contributes to its compact design, reduces reflections, and enhances overall image quality. Its compact design keeps the camera portable, while the ND filter provides control in bright conditions, softening intense light to maintain detail. In addition, the leaf shutter ideally syncs to an onboard flash, or off camera flash at a variety of shutter speeds.

The 0.2m focus distance allows for close-up shots that reveal fine textures, from weathered hands to intricate fabrics. As Sam pointed out, “It’s steady at slow speeds,” making one-handed shooting effortless. This stability ensures sharp images even in challenging light environments, making it a worthy tool that keeps you engaged with your subject, ready for any story.

 

102MP Medium Format Sensor for Stunning Image Quality

The Fujifilm GFX100RF is equipped with a groundbreaking 102MP medium format sensor, which is 1.7 times larger than a full-frame sensor. This substantial size difference translates to exceptional picture quality (and video quality), offering photographers a wide dynamic range and remarkably low noise levels. The sensor’s  architecture enhances light collection, ensuring superior shadow detail and reduced noise in low-light conditions.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Medium Format Camera

With a 16-bit colour depth and a dynamic range exceeding 14 stops, the GFX100RF captures an extensive range of tonal values, resulting in images with incredible depth and nuance. Whether you’re shooting landscapes, portraits, or street scenes, this medium format camera delivers unparalleled image quality that brings your vision to life.

 

Fast and Accurate AF Performance for Capturing the Moment

The GFX100RF’s advanced autofocus system is designed to keep up with the fast pace of life. Utilising AI-driven subject detection, the camera can recognise and track faces, eyes, animals, birds, vehicles, and even airplanes with remarkable precision. This sophisticated AF system includes predictive autofocus and face/eye detection, making it ideal for capturing fleeting expressions or decisive moments in sports events. With its fast and accurate AF performance, the GFX100RF ensures you never miss a moment, allowing you to focus on the creative aspects of your photography while the camera handles the technical details.

 

Digital Teleconverter for Enhanced Framing Options

The GFX100RF offers a digital teleconverter feature that provides photographers with enhanced framing options without the need to change lenses. This feature includes three crop modes, equivalent to 45mm, 63mm, and 80mm focal lengths, allowing you to zoom in on your subject and experiment with different compositions.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Medium Format Camera

The digital teleconverter maintains the full sensor Raw file, saving the intended crop as metadata, which gives you the flexibility to adjust your framing in post-production. This versatility is particularly useful for photographers who want to explore various perspectives and compositions on the fly, making the GFX100RF a highly adaptable tool in any shooting scenario.

 

Film Simulation for Creative Expression

The GFX100RF brings Fujifilm’s renowned Film Simulation modes to the forefront, offering 20 different options including ETERNA, REALA Ace, and other classic analog looks. These modes allow photographers to add a creative touch to their images, with a range of tonal and colour options that mimic the look and feel of traditional film stocks. Whether you’re aiming for vibrant, saturated colours or a timeless, muted aesthetic, the Film Simulation modes provide a unique way to express your artistic vision. The ability to switch between different Film Simulation modes on the go encourages experimentation and creativity, making every shot an opportunity to explore new styles and looks.

Fujifilm's Commitment to Medium Format Photography

Fujifilm has long been a pioneer in medium format photography, a legacy that spans decades and continues to evolve with its cutting-edge GFX system. The Fujifilm GFX100RF exemplifies this commitment by blending the portability of a compact camera with the exceptional image quality of a 102-megapixel medium format sensor.

A standout feature of the GFX100RF is its support for in-camera cropping to various focal lengths, effectively offering multiple “virtual” lenses. Using a front rocker switch, photographers can digitally extend the fixed 35mm f/4 lens to 45mm, 63mm, and 80mm equivalents, producing high-quality JPEGs at 62MP, 31MP, and 20MP respectively, while retaining a full-resolution RAW file. This innovative approach leverages the sensor’s immense resolution to provide focal length flexibility without additional glass, reinforcing Fujifilm’s dedication to creative versatility in a medium format package.

 

Fujifilm GFX Popular History

The GFX100RF is just one chapter in Fujifilm’s broader GFX story, which began with the GFX 50S in 2017, a 51.4MP interchangeable-lens camera that brought medium format into a more accessible, mirrorless form factor. This was followed by the GFX 50R, a rangefinder-style model that prioritised portability, and the GFX 100, which introduced a groundbreaking 102MP sensor with in-body image stabilisation (IBIS).

The GFX 100S refined this further, shrinking the 102MP system into a lighter body, while the GFX 100S II and GFX 100 II enhanced autofocus, video capabilities, and handling. Each model reflects Fujifilm’s mission to push medium format boundaries, catering to professionals and enthusiasts who demand superior resolution and dynamic range in varied shooting scenarios.

 

 

Large Format and Medium Format History That Gave Birth to the Fujifilm GRX100RF Digital Camera

This modern digital evolution draws deep inspiration from Fujifilm’s rich heritage in medium format film photography. Cameras like the Fujifilm GW690, introduced in 1978, and its successors, such as the GSW690 III, were beloved by landscape and street photographers for their 6x9cm film format, delivering expansive negatives with exquisite detail.

The Fujifilm GA645 series, launched in 1995, brought autofocus and a compact design to medium format, using a 6x4.5cm frame, while the Fujifilm TX-1, also known as the Hasselblad XPan and introduced in 1998, offered a unique 65x24mm panoramic format on 35mm film. These film cameras showcased Fujifilm’s knack for blending innovation with practicality, a philosophy mirrored in the GFX line’s design and features.

Fujifilm GX617 a prior nod to the Fujifilm GFX100RF Medium Format Camera

A key nod to this heritage is the GFX system’s expansive aspect ratio options, particularly evident in the GFX100RF’s dedicated aspect ratio dial. Offering nine choices, including 4:3 (native to the 43.8x32.9mm sensor), 3:2, 1:1, 16:9, 5:4, 7:6, 17:6, 65:24, and 3:4, these settings echo the creative flexibility of Fujifilm’s film era. The 65:24 ratio, for instance, directly honours the TX-1’s panoramic legacy, while 6x9-inspired ratios like 7:6 and 17:6 recall the GW690’s wide-frame capabilities.

This variety allows photographers to tailor their compositions in-camera, a practice rooted in the darkroom cropping traditions of medium format film, where square 6x6 negatives could be adjusted to suit editorial or artistic needs. By integrating these historical influences with modern technology, Fujifilm reaffirms its commitment to medium format as a medium of boundless creative potential, bridging its storied past with a forward-thinking present.

 

The Fujifilm GFX100RF Makes Photography Effortless

The Fujifilm GFX100RF proves a game-changer for travel photographers, blending portability with remarkable power. Its medium format quality ensures impressive resolution, colour depth, and dynamic range, making it ideal for capturing stunning travel photos.

The 35mm focal length (28mm equivalent) delivers a natural perspective, effortlessly capturing sweeping landscapes, especially when paired with panoramic aspect ratios like 65:24 for a broader, cinematic sweep.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Medium Format Camera

One of its standout features is the ability to apply Fujifilm’s renowned Film Simulations directly in-camera, offering a unique look without needing a computer. Options like VELVIA bring vibrant, saturated colours to life, while CLASSIC CHROME lends a timeless, muted flair, allowing photographers to craft a signature style on the go. The 102-megapixel sensor produces sharp, detailed images that shine in any format, from online galleries to large prints, making it a versatile tool tailored to creative demands.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Medium Format Camera

For those longer journeys, the GFX100RF keeps you prepared. Its dual SDXC memory card slots provide generous storage for those high-resolution files, ensuring your workflow remains uninterrupted even after hours of shooting. Whether you’re roaming remote trails or bustling city streets, this camera adapts seamlessly, offering reliability and flexibility in equal measure.

 

GFX100RF is a Nod To Fujifilm's Analogue History

Photographers in pursuit of inspiration will discover in the Fujifilm GFX100RF a fitting heir to the inventive legacy of analogue icons like the TX-1 and TX-2. Renowned for their panoramic brilliance, those classic film cameras set a high bar, and the GFX100RF rises to it with its 65:24 ratio, opening up bold compositional possibilities perfect for expansive vistas or abstract explorations. Those familiar with the TX series will recognise the thrill of discovery that a panoramic frame brings, especially in Australia's vast landscapes. Inland and coastal scenes practically demand a camera capable of capturing their boundless scale and vibrant skies, and the GFX100RF answers this call with stunning clarity and creative depth.

 

This New Fujifilm Includes Video Storytelling

The GFX100RF excels as a hybrid tool for video storytellers. Its 4K/29.97p recording, paired with F-Log2, offers rich tonal range for post-production. Digital stabilisation ensures smooth handheld footage, perfect for dynamic scenes without extra gear. The 140-minute recording capacity supports extended shoots, while the sensor provides stunning stills from video frames. As Sam mentioned, “It's very capable,” highlighting its versatility for both motion and stills, making it an all-in-one solution for crafting compelling narratives.
