A fter the success of the Fujifilm X100VI, the company has returned with even more compact cameras. While many hoped that we might see something more affordable in the X-Series range to sit underneath the X100VI, Fujifilm had different plans, launching its first GFX medium format compact camera.

But what is GFX medium format? The GFX sensor is nearly four times the size of the APS-C sensor found in the X100VI – and notably larger than the full-frame sensors used in Canon, Lumix, Nikon and Sony cameras. A larger sensor means higher resolution and the GFX 100RF has an incredible 102MP to play around with. Yet Fujifilm has done the impossible and made a large format camera with a 35mm f/4 fixed lens that is physically not much larger than its APS-C counterpart.
