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.
