Fujifilm GFX100RF review: one sensor, nine cameras
1 min read
Summary
Fujifilm’s new GFX100RF camera uses a 102-megapixel sensor to allow for substantial cropping of images, emulating different focal lengths and aspect ratios, and it does this whilst still producing relatively high-resolution images.
The camera’s aspect ratio dial offers nine different formats including 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 17:6, 3:4, 1:1, 7:6, 5:4, and 65:24, the latter emulating a famed Fujifilm TX-1 Panoramic camera from the ’60s.
The GFX100RF also offers four digital “zoom” modes, cropping into the center of the sensor to deliver different fields of view: 35mm, 45mm, 63mm, and 80mm, the equivalents of 28mm, 35mm, 50mm and 63mm in full-frame terms.
The camera is a surprisingly compact medium-format device, but its slow f/4 aperture and lack of in-body image stabilization mean it struggles in low light.
