The Fujifilm GFX 100 II inherits DNA from both the original GFX 100 and the smaller, less expensive GFX 100S . Fujifilm tells us the GFX 100 II’s primary enhancements come from improved speed and autofocus capabilities.
However, the camera’s sensor is a faster variant of the one used in the GFX 100 and 100S, which Fujifilm says has a greater full well capacity (the amount of charge it can handle before clipping). Additionally, new offset microlenses should improve image quality in the corners. Does it make a difference? This is a pre-production sample gallery, but it should be a good indicator of how the new camera performs.
We’ve had a chance to include a few shots using the new GF55mm F1.7R WR and the GF 30mm F5.6 T/S, and have included an example with and without the use of the lens’ shift mechanism, to show the impact it can have.

Our DPREVIEW Tribute:
After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview closed on 10 April 2023. This difficult decision was part of the annual operating plan review that parent company, Amazon, shared earlier this year.
Over the course of 25 years, DP Review built up a reputation as being one of the most informative places to go for information about that new camera or lens you’re after. DP Review began as an independent reviews site based in the UK in 1998, the brainchild of Philip and Joanna Askey, but it was eventually purchased by Amazon in 2007 and relocated over to Seattle in the USA in 2010.
Cheers DPReview – thanks for the great work and content that guided photographers, videographers and techno junkies the world over!
