The Fujifilm company has officially
launched its medium-format, mirrorless camera-- GFX100 in India. Earlier this
May, Fujifilm said that this is the world's first medium-format model that
offers a back-illuminated sensor with phase detection pixels, in-body image
stabilization (IBIS) mechanism and 4K/30P video recording capability. The camera
is available in India for Rs. 7,86,999.
The GFX 100 has a full-sized body and
weighing in at roughly 1.36kg which is quite light. When you switch shooting
orientations, you get a secondary shutter button and dial on the bottom right
corner. The controls at the back look very similar to those on the Fujifilm
X-T3 as there's a similar, dual-hinged 3.2-inch touchscreen with a 2.36 million
dot resolution. There's a removable OLED EVF, with a high 5.76-million dot
resolution. The Fujifilm GFX 100 body is also dust and weather resistant and is
built using a magnesium alloy. The dials for shutter speed and ISO have been
swapped for a LCD display, which shows you the appropriate dials based on the
shooting mode you're in.
The GFX 100 has a brand-new 102-megapixel
BSI CMOS sensor and is powered by Fujifilm's X-Processor 4 image processor.
This medium-format model while still having PDAF and 5-axis in-body
stabilization. 4K video shooting is also supported, up to 30fps, or you can
output 10-bit 4:2:2 uncompressed footage over HDMI. Other features include an
ISO range of 100-12,800, support for 16-bit RAW files, a Type-C USB port, and
two SD card slots with support for up to UHS-II speeds.
Fujifilm also launched its new Premista
series of cinema zoom lenses alongside the GFX100. These lenses support
large-format sensors and deliver high resolution, bokeh and rich gradation with
HDR.
The Premista 28-100mm T2.9 will be available from August and is priced at $38,800 and the Premista 80-250mm T2.9-3.5 will be available later this year for $39,800.
