2022 has been an X series year so far, and therefore we haven’t covered the GFX system as much as for example last year, when the stellar Fujifilm GFX100S and the affordable Fujifilm GFX50SII hit the market.
And let me say this: Fujifilm has no hurry at all to release new GFX cameras, as the Fujifilm GFX100S is a crazy seller, which is still more often out of stock rather than in stock.
So time for FujiRumors to remind us all that there is also the GFX system out there thanks to a dedicated roundup.

J. Marcus Photography shoots a couple of full frame cameras, but when he got his hands on the Fujifilm GFX50SII, he totally fell in love with the files he gets from it. He says it’s just incredible how even with cr*ap light and backlight he can bring just everything back in post thanks to the GFX RAW files: the colors, the details, it’s all there! And it’s something he can’t get this way with his full frame mirrorless cameras. In fact he says “try that with your Canon R5 or Nikon Z9, it’s just not going to happen [that you can recover that much from a heavily underexposed image]”
But it’s not all good. He basically never uses eye detection on his Fujifilm GFX50SII, as it does not work reliably. And overall autofocus is not fast. When it nails the focus, the files are terribly sharp, but it can take a while to lock focus.
He will soon test the Fujifilm GFX100S to see if that one is better. And my guess is that quite surely it will, as the Fujifilm GFX50SII has contrast detect focus only, whereas the Fujifilm GFX100S has phase detection pixels all over the sensor.
