100 Megapixel Street Photography with the Fujifilm GFX100s II

Josh takes the Fujifilm GFX 100s II for a spin around London and his local area, discussing his experience using the camera. We also then drop the files into Adobe Lightroom and take a look at how well they edit and how the 100 megapixels hold up

Take a drink every time I say ‘dynamic range’ 🙃

This is like watching someone use a rocket launcher to clear an anthill. Nice shots, love the channel!

Great video Josh! Glad you enjoyed trying out the camera. We love your use of colours 🧡

I'm absolutely in love with these photos. And you mention the medium format look giving an almost 3D quality with that wonderful dynamic range and I agree but I really think this is more a Fuji thing than anything else.

I'm a Canon shooter and I wanted to get a range finder-esque type something for street photography, mirrorless as well, and ended up getting the X-T4 just today. I don't been playing around with it and I'm freaking out at the color of skin tones and the punchy quality of everything and how the dynamic range is giving this 3 dimensional quality to whatever I'm shooting. Man, where has Fuji been all my shooting life!

“100 mega pickles” 😂 Love all your videos and zines!! Thanks 🙏

Thank you for this video Josh.

I was thinking about Fuji. Took a Fuji camera to the Seattle Pride parade and had a fall. Cracked the screen and it is on the way to be repaired. I’m doing much better than that camera.

I never considered a medium format of street photography. Two criteria I have for the gear I own is size and weight. Small and lightweight wins the day. Medium formate looses on both criteria. As you mentioned .josh. Price. One reason I don’t use Leica, other than at free loaner events at the camera store, is price. Affordable is good. Inexpensive is better. Again, for me, medium format looses me on this account.

You like the 4:3 ratio? So do I. I use lumix M43 gear. Love my GX8/85/9 for street photography and the PL15mm lens. The P20/1.7 and 25/1.7 lenses are winners for me. LOVE the L monochrome D jpeg B&W SOOC. My favorite.

I’m also a big Fuji fan. I have many Fuji bodies and lenses. Use Fuji for the typical reasons. Wanted the X100VI. So did a million others. I cancelled my order. I’m not waiting a year or paying a premium for that camera.

Loved the photo of your son @07:49.

I'm also doing the same. I know others as well who uses Gfx100s for street photography. Why not? You get lots of pixel spaces for crop, if needed.

These photos are so amazing. I love the colors and details!

I love the GFX cameras so much. The image fidelity, the colours, the 4:3 aspect ratio. I bought a GFX 100 II not too long ago. It's amazing. The only thing is that I wish I could shoot smaller raws with it. I had the 50R previously and 50 MP was enough for me. 102 MP is a little too much.

I'll stick with my 16mp GX80. Still loving it 😁

[cindyrosen]

Just love your images and your edits. Beautiful style!

[gharrop]

Some great spontaneous compositions. 👌super examples of “River Photography!”….

45mm f2.8 on GFX has the same depth of field as 23mm f1.4 on APS-C. Don’t know why people think there is a difference. Of course dynamic range and color depth is another story, but that is just the extra wiggle room in post for extreme situations and nothing someone immediately sees and thinks „ahh that medium format look“

[szelingchang]

Always a joy to look at your images. Love the colour.

[LolekBezBolkaShow]

This camera is amazingly massive and good at the same time 😮

[hairography]

A very good down to earth review. Thank you!

[ji-ming]

I really like that medium/large format look and although it is quite big compare to an X-T3, I would love to try something similar one day just to enjoy the experience of it.
And of course great photos as always!

[Stacedelinc]

Dude your self deprication cracks me up every time haha. But thats why we love ya haha
