What reviewers say

Both praise image detail, dynamic range, stabilisation, the large viewfinder and improved autofocus. Photography Blog considers its wider capabilities worth paying more than the GFX100S. Amateur Photographer finds autofocus less intuitive than rival full-frame systems, considers high-speed tracking hindered by the viewfinder feed, and sees little useful extra detail from 400-megapixel pixel-shift files in its test.
