This camera is phenomenal.

This week I'm talking about a new camera which I didn't intend to buy - the Fujifilm GFX 100S ii.

as a long long long-time viewer of your channel and after seeing your style in shooting and editing being developed through the years, I must say that no matter what camera you've used for your photos, they all look like James Popsys photos... I believe that is great...

[MrJaomul]

I went for a walk, didn't want a new camera but chatted to a guy, borrowed his camera and bought a camera for 5k and few lenses. You're doing OK

[FeralGinger]

LONG term watcher here, your X-Pan crop images are absolutely incredible James! Can't wait to see more work with the GFX!

[GarrettWare]

Popsys/Fuji is the pairing we didn't know we needed, but the camera gods did.

FYI, you can add a second SD card to the second slot and configure the camera to write the JPEGs to one, and RAWs to the other. This way you won’t have to bother with importing and deleting the JPEGs. Just leave the JPEG card in the camera and format it every now and then.

It might be said that “the photographer, the camera, and the scene are not three.” They appear to be separate, but in the moment of true seeing, they belong to the same arising. What if for each of us making photos, that experience of “just feels right in the hand” is often the convergence of design, memory, tactile familiarity, sensory satisfaction, and emotional tone—all coalescing into a wordless sense of rightness. A fully embodied experience resulting an immersive process of photography.

Thanks a bunch for the shoutout James.

[Ginopino]

I love that you went from Sony to Fuji while Roman Fox went from Fuji to Sony

[ToastandJam]

Coincidentally, I just bought a brand new G9 (not a mark II), A local camera shop had one sitting on a shelf in their storage room. They were really happy to sell it to me for a ridiculously cheap price. Loving it. Love your photos.

haven't watched any Popsys content in a while, this appeared on my feed, I can finally sleep peacefully

[TheLetsboogiedown]

I won't be in the market for a new camera anytime soon, and I don't see myself looking at medium format cameras.... But I will always look for the next J Popsys video for inspiration and continue to try and emulate the magic he creates

[paulhancock]

There is a wonderful irony that you were known as a Micro Four Thirds shooter and said you didn't need anything more... And now here we are at 100MP 'medium format'. I get it though, if I was to invest in another system it would be the Fuji GFX. It's amazing value for what you get and I hope you enjoy it!

[TungstenOvergaard]

Fuji is very lucky to have you as an user. If at some point you came up with a decent simulation to use some of the jpegs :), let us know!

[DavidForgang]

Welcome to the club. Sold my Sony and Canon gear and went Fuji 100s (no video here). The first time I held it I knew I had to have it. The grip is incredible. The files are even better. Long time viewer first comment. Hope to see more on the GFX

[thermalegoogle]

"The camera which I didn't intend to buy" Do you have any idea how many cameras that description fits ?

[mcmossimo]

As a recent James enjoyer and someone who can wholeheartedly say that he has got me out shooting again. I have been in love with the GFX line when I have moments to use it and seeing that he is finding that weird unnamable magic that it carries is so exciting. The GFX110RF is going to be my next camera by a record mile .

[gabrielalmanzar]

hope you enjoy your time with your camera! still using the G9 in part because of you!

[lukasdiemling]

Longterm Fuji GFX and XT User here and I totally understand you, even the XT5 is an amazing Camera and would be good enough for Most commercial Jobs I tend to use the GFX (50sii) in Situations where it wont be the best Camera, simply I Love Holding it. It feel good, fits my hand Perfect and the Images are just Chefs Kiss

[swforsyth]

I feel the same way about my XT5 and lately OM3 - I get the fun factor as been very unique to each person. Hope you get lots of joy from your new camera.

Aside all of this photographers be great professionals and inspire so many of us, we must keep present that THIS is their business and most of them make a living of this. Switching gear, changing opinions, being in love for new gear or promote it like it is the cherry on top of the cake makes part of the way to keep a channel alive I guess. I do not criticize, we all should see and appreciate their work and retain what is relevant for us. Just to say that I would love to own a GFX100RF even if I find pointless what that camera could level up my photography compared with my XT5 and Xpro3. Nice photos don’t come from gear, come from you going out or travel… of course there is gear that might inspire you to do that but it’s all in our heads.
