The new Fujifilm GFX 100 arrives with a new 102 megapixel resolution sensor.

Fujifilm announces its new medium format mirrorless camera, the Fujifilm GFX 100.  The first camera of this format to have a 102 megapixel resolution sensor.

The sensor has dimensions of 43.8mm by 32.9mm, making it 1.7 times larger than a 35mm full frame sensor. However, the camera body, while more robust than previous models, is still a similar size to any DSLR camera.

The new sensor has been developed specifically for this model, which, combined with the fourth-generation X-processor 4, is capable of supporting RAW images up to 16-bit. On the video side, it is the first digital mirrorless camera capable of recording 4K images at 30 frames per second 10 bit at 4:2:0 internally and 4:2:2:2 with an external recorder.

New features in stabilization: The IBIS system is capable of compensating up to 5, 5 steps of image stabilization. By increasing the number of pixels on the sensor, the Japanese brand has had to design this system specifically for the new sensor.

For the first time they have included the phase detection autofocus system in the GFX range. This algorithm offers increased AF speed and accuracy thanks to the 3.76 million phase detection pixels spread across the sensor. This achieves up to 210% more speed than the conventional contrast system.

Like the previous GFX 50s model, the new model also has a detachable viewfinder that can be rotated at various angles. This is an OLED viewfinder with a resolution of 5.76 million dots. For greater focusing precision, the viewfinder has 5 optical glass elements and a magnification of 0.86x.   The rear LCD is touch-sensitive and has a resolution of 2.36 million dots.

It features USB-C connections for charging the camera and USB Power delivery for longer single shots while charging the camera’s two batteries.

The Fujifilm GFX 100 will be released in June.
