The Fujifilm GFX 100 II inherits DNA from both the original GFX 100 and the smaller, less expensive GFX 100S . Fujifilm tells us the GFX 100 II’s primary enhancements come from improved speed and autofocus capabilities.

However, the camera’s sensor is a faster variant of the one used in the GFX 100 and 100S, which Fujifilm says has a greater full well capacity (the amount of charge it can handle before clipping). Additionally, new offset microlenses should improve image quality in the corners. Does it make a difference? This is a pre-production sample gallery, but it should be a good indicator of how the new camera performs.

We’ve had a chance to include a few shots using the new GF55mm F1.7R WR and the GF 30mm F5.6 T/S, and have included an example with and without the use of the lens’ shift mechanism, to show the impact it can have.
