The Fujifilm medium format GFX 100 II was launched in India in October 2023. Technically speaking, it isn’t ‘medium format’ but let’s leave it as Fujifilm claims it.

Fujifilm is known for its several medium format cameras but the GFX 100 II is the flagship. But why have a medium format camera when we have hoards of 35 mm formats, which are easier to carry and are also less expensive? Read the review and you’ll realise why.

Design & Build Quality

The GFX 100 II body is handsome-looking and appears well-made. The top-plate sub-LCD has a 11-degree tilt to make it easier to view. The body is covered in BISHAMON-TEX leather, with traditional Japanese-inspired imprint to make it slip-proof. Besides, it also offers a deep hand-grip. A Still/Movie switch is provided next to the Mode Dial. The camera is weather-sealed and made in Japan. It weighs 1030 g including its battery, interchangeable electronic viewfinder and memory card.
