FUJIFILM just announced its new medium format flagship camera, the GFX100 II, and I had a chance to play with a preproduction unit for a very short time. This is more of an initial impression review rather than a comprehensive one, but I’m determined to get the camera again and further explore its filming capabilities, particularly in combination with some anamorphic lenses. So, a new day, a new camera, or are we witnessing something special here? Well, in all honesty, my hat is off to FUJIFILM for emphasizing and enhancing the video capabilities of this new camera. True, this is still a hybrid device, which led to certain compromises such as the lack of an articulated LCD screen, but all in all, FUJIFILM did a great job here and I’m extremely curious to see how the market will react in adopting it.

So let’s start by saying that this camera has a huge selection of formats in up to 8K resolution, with different image circle coverage and recording codecs. FUJIFILM GFX100 II recording modes.
