Seems to be a lack of a dedicated user thread for the GFX-100 for this forum. There's a variety of sources around the web with random opinions, and apparently some kind of usergroup on Facebook, which most people will not participate in anymore, including me. So can we start a thread here?
The tech on these cameras takes a bit of getting up to speed with, so it would be great to have users compare their preferred settings, Fn option choice, Q menu setup, touchscreen on or off? Custom display settings, battery life, accessories, etc. Or please link threads, if I've missed a really useful setup/ or super informative user review.
Am happy to share my positive first impressions, though have to say most of those waxing lyrical about the IQ are clearly people who've never shot 100mp before. (hello DPreview!) Going from Phase One IQ-100 to Fujifilm GFX-100 is really not an IQ step at all, its simply what the camera can do, with its mirrorless IBIS, sensor wide PDAF with face/eye detect, AF tracking, etc. That is where this is a unique product.
I'm keeping mine, but a bit disappointed with the size and weight of it (this is crop MF after all, and it feels as big and clumsy as a Phase XF). I was expecting the whole thing to be slightly smaller, lighter, and easier to travel with than Phase MF kit, but it doesn't seem to be much different in the end. I feel Canon or Nikon would have packaged it better. Lenses likewise are pretty good, but imho not above anything MF Tech lenses or Phase lenses have already in terms of performance, broadly speaking. The one thing the lenses do is set the bar for is price:performance. $1000-2000 in MF digital is pretty great.
Just want to get the ball rolling. Am on a learning curve with this. Happy to learn...
