As a professional photographer, I attach great importance to the image quality of the camera, so when the Fujifilm GFX 100S, a 100-megapixel medium-format mirrorless camera, was launched, I chose this camera without hesitation as the main equipment for daily shooting work. , compared to full frame, medium format cameras have better image quality performance.
With the enrichment of the Fujifilm GFX series medium format mirrorless camera product line, many photography-loving friends around me often ask me. The most common question is how is the actual shooting performance of the Fujifilm GFX series medium format cameras? Today, as a Fujifilm GFX 100S camera user, I will briefly share with you my experience using this Fujifilm medium format mirrorless camera.
·Image quality is the foundation of medium-format cameras
There is a popular saying in the photography circle, "The bigger the camera, the bigger the camera will kill you." To put it bluntly, it means "the larger the sensor size, the better the image quality of the photos." For professional photographers, image quality is fundamental, which is why commercial photography and advertising photography choose medium format cameras.
The Fujifilm GFX 100S medium format mirrorless camera I use uses a medium format CMOS sensor with a size of 43.8mm x 32.9mm. It has 102 million pixels and can take photos with a maximum resolution of 11648×8736. The imaging has Extremely high image quality and resolution performance.

The size of the Fujifilm GFX 100S medium format sensor (43.8mm x 32.9mm) is much larger than the sensor size of today’s full-frame cameras (36mm x 24mm). The advantage of a large-size sensor is that it not only makes it easier to achieve high pixels, but also has low noise floor and better tolerance. Therefore, photos will have better image quality in terms of color expression and color gradation. In addition, medium-format cameras can create better background blur effects due to their larger sensor size and large-aperture lenses, which is one of the advantages that full-frame cameras cannot match.

The photos taken by the 100-megapixel GFX 100S are not only very rich in color and light and shadow levels. After zooming in on the photos, you can see the outstanding resolution performance of the medium format camera. The sharpness of the details and edges is even more remarkable, which enhances the overall viewing experience of the picture. sex.

Another advantage brought by the high pixels of the Fuji GFX 100S medium format camera is the post-production secondary composition, cropping The cut photos still maintain extremely high resolution. In addition, when recomposing the photo in the later stage, I can also crop the photo at different positions to get two brand new photos after recomposition, and the image quality and resolution of the two photos are still very good.

Color performance is another reason why I like the Fujifilm GFX 100S, a medium format mirrorless camera. When shooting, the photos taken directly from Fujifilm GFX 100S have very realistic color reproduction performance even without post-processing adjustments. Therefore, you can safely use Fujifilm GFX 100S for daily shooting. And no matter what the lighting environment is, the color performance of Fujifilm GFX 100S's direct-shot photos can always be accurately restored and consistent with the environment seen by the naked eye.
In the past, the high-sensitivity image quality of medium-format cameras was not outstanding, and could even be described as “very poor”.The Fujifilm GFX 100S, which is also a medium format camera, is different from traditional medium format cameras in that it has excellent noise floor performance, so when shooting with high sensitivity, you can also get pure picture performance.

In my shooting work, many scenes are shot at night or in dark light environments, and the camera sensitivity needs to be increased to obtain the correct exposure. The high-sensitivity image quality of the Fujifilm GFX 100S is excellent, and the natural noise is less than that of a full-frame camera at the same ISO. Therefore, the photos taken by the Fujifilm GFX 100S in low light will be relatively cleaner and provide a better viewing experience.
·Outstanding focusing performance and 6-level anti-shake, completely getting rid of the shackles of a tripod
The stereotype that traditional medium format cameras must be mounted on a tripod and must be used in the studio has been completely broken with the Fuji GFX 100S. Fujifilm GFX 100S has five-axis anti-shake capability with up to 6 levels of compensation effect, and its anti-shake capability even exceeds that of many professional full-frame cameras. With the assistance of 6-level anti-shake, Fujifilm GFX 100S can now handle handheld shooting in any scene without worrying about the impact of slight shake on the picture.

In addition to anti-shake, Fuji GFX 100S also has outstanding focus performance . When taking some daily photos of night scenes, the dim light is a complete test for the camera's focus. Fujifilm GFX 100S supports a low-light focusing performance of -5.5EV. It maintains high-speed focusing capabilities at night or in dimly lit environments. Basically, half-pressing the shutter button can quickly achieve focus. There is no need to worry about insufficient focusing performance for shooting. coming impact.

In short, the Fujifilm GFX 100S is a medium format mirrorless camera with outstanding image quality and stable performance. It also gave me a new understanding of medium format cameras. After using it for nearly a year, the Fujifilm GFX 100S has performed very well and can take photos with higher resolution and better quality than full-frame cameras. Therefore, the photography experience brought by the Fujifilm GFX 100S medium format is unmatched by full-frame cameras, and it fully demonstrates the charm of medium format cameras.
