As part of our upcoming review of Fujifilm GFX100RF, we placed the medium format ‘compact’ in front of our test scene to help evaluate its image quality.
Our Test scene is designed to follow the scene Different types of textures, color and expansion types will cope in the real world. It also has two lights mode to see the effects of various lighting conditions.
Unexpectedly, the 61MPs used in the Raws Q3 of the GFX100RF capture in greater detail than the full-frame sensor, the high-ending large sensor compact of Leica, and the 40MP APS-C sensor of the Fujifilm X100VI is much higher than the Censor. The JPEG engine of the camera works good to preserve those details.
The lens could not match the $ 2700 dedicated macro lens that we used for the GFX100, but the JPEG processing performs its best for the difference.
Those trends continue in low-light, and the sensor is followed by a high-iSo Royce noise performance. The JPEG engine does a good job of not removing the details when applying the noise reduction.
dynamic range
The GFX100RF has excellent dynamic range performance in the 80s base ISO; it Very few read noise For the image, which means that there is little difference in images shot on the same exposure, but different ISOS, and then bright to match each other in the post. Its files also Provide a lot of rooms to increase shadeWhich will help if you want to shoot in low exposure to protect highlights.
The PDAF banding we saw in our original DR tests for GFX 100 is not visible in our tests for GFX100RF: There are reports This software was also fixed on GFX 100 through updates.
Lens performance
Our studio testing view is not designed to test the lens, but it can still tell us something about some aspects of the performance. On the GFX100RF, the 28 mm univiv lens has been shot quite close-up, but it is still 30x around the focal length away from the chart, so it must be the appropriate representative of the actual world performance. Our tests have been shot to maintain a proper depth-field and entire frame-constity on F5.6, but in F4/F5.6 comparison we have shown very little difference in the performance of the corner (this is an effect, which is vigning rather than a difference of more).
With all that, the lens performs well under these conditions. This is quite fast in the center. It performs well well for corners, where Raw shows some mild decline (which does a good job of correcting the JPEG engine). While the original GFX100 is paired with 120 mm F4 macro of Fujifilm, our view presents more equally and rapidly, that the weight of the alone is more than an entire GFX100RF.
On f5.6, chromatic abensions also seem well controlled compared to the lens of X100VI.
