As is common with Fujifilm cameras, pretty much all the buttons can be re-mapped to your personal shooting preferences. GFX bodies are definitely large enough to accommodate more custom function buttons so these three new ones are appreciated. The functions of these buttons are shown in three little corresponding symbols on the top screen, which is a really nice touch. The layout is fairly similar to previous GFX models, but there are three new custom unmarked function buttons up top on the camera. I will admit, I do prefer the look of the faux-leather, but after a while, I did stop really noticing the new material.Īt 44 x 33 mm, the medium format sensor is considerably bigger than the 35 x 24 mm sensor found in full frame cameras (Image credit: Gareth Bevan / Digital Camera World) It does give me strong futuristic spacesuit vibes and makes the camera look much more modern. The GFX 100 II is a slick-looking camera, but also it feels good in the hand, the new BISHAMON-TEX material on the camera is nice to hold and is a little more grippy than the traditional faux-leather finish, although not revolutionary. Personally, I think the optional grip is the right move, I don’t love a vertical grip, (despite shooting mostly portraiture) and the GFX 100 II is big enough already, so having it as an optional extra, and still being able to enjoy the full force of Fujifilm’s most powerful medium format camera without the extra bulk is very welcome.įujifilm is one of my favorite manufacturers when it comes to the build quality and styling of its cameras, and the GFX 100 II continues in that tradition. The camera is smaller and lighter than the GFX 100 as it no longer has the grip built in, although, with the optional grip accessory attached, it actually becomes the heavier and larger option out of the two. The styling of the GFX 100 II follows that of Fujifilm’s compact medium format cameras like the GFX 100S, and does away with the built-in vertical grip from the original GFX 100.
