I’ve had the GFX100RF out for two sessions to date. The first was a quick trip was to Nobbies, on Phillip Island. It was filled with tourists, limiting my capacity to get clean photos or take my time, but it still gave me an opportunity to get a couple of photos.

The most striking outcome was the level of detail from the 100MP files. It’s hard to understand how much detail there is in a GFX100RF sensor until you actually see a 200MB raw file in person. The file I looked at wasn’t anything spectacular as far as photos go, it was hand held not on a tripod. The photo you see here is photo number 3 taken with the camera, the first two taken at home to test the camera.

The next batch of photos were taken in Brisbane on a business trip. I didn’t have much time out, so I had to grab the odd break between meetings, or when it wasn’t raining which seemed to have timed itself with my trip.

It gave me an opportunity to have a variety of different photos although, some of them aren’t really in my sweet spot in terms of genres.

This is the Abian building, and incredibly photogenic building in the city. I used the zoom function to create a 14MB (6448 × 4840) cropped jpg, which has an incredible amount of detail in it.

The camera is a pseudo macro lens when you consider you can get close to 20cm away from the subject leaving you macro APSC equivalent file. This is a 5120 × 3840 zoom (at ISO1250) so there is still substantial opportunity to zoom in here.

As expected, the out of camera JPG’s are incredible and the flexibility of the crop works so well with the viewfinder blockout. I would love it if we had a macro or zoom attachment but from what I understand, it isn’t possible due to the size of the sensor.
