I have close to zero interest in this. 0.02% of the photography community will be able to buy it and so many youtubers are spending so much time covering it as if it's a new Canon Rebel. I haven't clicked one article on this camera. I'm sure it takes great pictures though. but that's the thing... everything takes great pictures today.

"I haven't clicked one article on this camera."

Yet somehow you ended up here...

Someone said a 14.1 megapixel Nikon D3100 takes great photos, so why does anyone need to go higher resulting in pixel dumping?

It's the way tech is. Think about tv over the last 15 yrs. 720p plasma was for sure 5 grand. 1080 hit 10 grand. 4k you could prob drop 20 grand on. The tech will trickle down in time and the price will lower as new breakthroughs occur. Its what keeps progression going. It hapens in all markets. You can buy a 12000 bicycle that'll be worth 4 grand in 4 yrs.

"Yes, Fujifilm’s GFX100 is the Same Size as Canon and Nikon Flagship DSLRs"

..and (second only to the Sony Mavica) probably THE ugliest camera ever made.

Are you going to take pictures with the camera or take pictures from the camera?

..not with, not from: on the camera instead.

Close race with the Ricoh GR I/II/III.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaa agreed totally! Forgot about that brilliant and original one :)

The Canon and the Nikon are guaranteed to fire every time you press the shutter release; the Fujifilm, not so much.

Says who?

Waiting for Sony to put medium format sensor into a NEX like body. Now that's impressive.

Fuji is crushing the Canikon from the larger side and Sony is crushing them from the smaller side.

The size most likely has to do with heat while shooting video. I'd actually like to see Sony make the new a7siii be in a DSLR sized body for that exact reason. Obviously not this size but even adding an inch to all the dimensions would help out.

Nah, no point on fighting over crowded market, Fuji is the only company besides Sony that’s still doing good. Have they gone FF, they might not be able to keep up. But hey, we can only wait to see if their decision is good in the future or not.

You can make a small FF body but you can't make small FF lenses because... laws of physics. There's no point in sticking a huge lens to a tiny body.

The weight is surely going to put a lot of people off. I love 1D cameras from a usability point of view. I used to use a 1Ds3 and 1D4, and hated long weekends carrying both bodies with heavy lenses plus flash. I now use a 5DS and 1DC, and the smaller 5DS is my go to camera. I don't like its controls compared to a 1D, but I still love that camera.

Come 2045 or earlier and people will say how bulky medium format cameras used to be...

Why are they comparing those in size or price? Those have nothing to do with each other. Might as well be comparing a Holga along with them!

Not really. There's no reason it had to be bigger than the 50MPs. It only has a "small" medium format sensor (micro MF?), just like the 50MPs. Less than 1/2" bigger in height and width than 35mm (44x33 vs 35x24). Would have made more sense to have an add-on grip, allowing the camera to be both light and portable, and heavy and professional, as needed. With OSPDAF, it should do much better outside the studio than the 50MPs did, so weight does become a concern.

They needed the room for the IBIS so an add-on grip wasn't an option. Also sensor area is 1452mm squared compared to 864 for full frame. That is BIG step up.

Wonder if they made their own IBIS unit instead of buying one from Sony? Sony didn't have to do anything to the height of their FFs to add IBIS, just the depth. APS-C wasn't even affected.

As far as sensor size,we'll have to see image quality samples to see if the big step up is actually beneficial. 100MP is A LOT more resolution to handle, and Fuji's last MF cameras were neck and with FF in overall quality because of that.

And remember, true MF (just STARTING at 6x4.5) is 2700mm³.

The real issue is that it IS a 100MP and the sensor is a bit larger. I have my doubts as to whether this will matter IRL but it will sell well and we will be deluged with breathless "reviews". Commercial photographers will never be questioned as to whether the res is sufficient.
Engaging in the equivalence game is a pointless exercise as the vast majority of commercial work is shot at smaller apertures where the shallow DOF that hobbyists love is irrelevant.
If shallow DOF is your hot spot, then I suggest you get a 4x5 and learn to process sheet film. F8 will give you fits when trying to keep the eyes in focus on a typical close head shot.

Hmmm, looking at the pic of the GFX100 IBIS, it looks like there only had to be a few mm added to the top of the camera for it to fit, which is what was done vs the GFX50S. The bottom end of the IBIS unit shouldn't pass the bottom of the lens mount, so the built-in grip was just to try to appeal to the professional side. Probably to justify the high price.

I saw this picture too after I replied to you. I was going off an interview with Fujifilm management from back when they had the development announcement. Now, they are saying it needs two batteries because it's so power hungry. I own the 50S and an X-T3 and they are both amazing cameras but for different things. If this thing give X-T3 performance but with the big sensor...it's going to be an incredible camera, but with a price to match. Maybe some day I'll rent one to play with. Just too much money to buy.

Well, as Nikon (Nikon 1/CX) and Sony (RX series, APS-C and FF mirrorless) have shown us, the smaller the sensor, the better the AF performance. Sony FF (minus A9 & its unique stacked sensor) last year had just reached the performance point (AF speed + fps) that Sony APS-C reached in 2016, and 1" sensors had already hit 60fps RAW photos and fast OSPDAF earlier this decade in Nikon 1. FF seems limited at about 10fps at 45ishMP, and a bit faster with lower res (D5, 1DX II). APS-C at 20fps at 28MP, which is roughly the same transfer speed as current FF. I'd think this camera would have AF performance similar to the Sony A7 II at best, considering the 5fps max continuous drive is also a reflection of the readout speed of the sensor, which seems to directly influence AF performance outside of firmware quality.

Go cry somewhere else FF boy

I don't shoot FF.

Consider the size of previous medium format cameras and you see where Michael is going with his comment. It's amazingly small compared to a H6D-100c or XF + IQ back. That it's the size of a flagship pro DSLR. It's narrower than the GFX 50R, but not quite as narrow as the 50s. Consider that it's a new BSI chip, so the horsepower & cooling, it's still fitting a lot into a very small body.

On the other hand those have larger sensors, and they are modular systems. If weight is the top priority, you can attach the back on a light tech cam (fx Alpa 12 tc) and it will become even lighter camera than this gfx.

You could go to the A line even, but then you drop things like auto-focus, zoom lenses, etc. The H series hasn't changed size and has had the same 33x44 sensor size before - the H5D-40 most recently. Same chip size in a DF/DF+ with a IQ140 or even the Pentax 645D. Yes, those were CCD's, but were that was where we were not that long ago.

there is a 50mp option from fuji already. this is thr 100mp version, that even though might not suit your needs, it does for sure for some people.

so yes. there are some reasons. they just don't apply to you.

The IBIS unit only extends upward:

And the height of the camera above the mount has barely changed. The sensor size is also exactly the same as the 50MPs, and the Hasselblad X1D, which was an even smaller camera, smaller than a GH5. Not to mention having IBIS, the sensor is thermally isolated from the body. No rigid connections for heat transfer can be used.

Nice package. Smart to make it same size as a pro Canon or Nikon.102MP? I'll have to run out and buy a new computer! On the other hand, maybe my trusty 24MP is enough.
