Street photography on medium format?! The Fujifilm GFX100RF makes it not just possible, but spectacular. Cramming a large sensor into a body that’s really not that much bigger than that of the X100VI, this incredible camera delivers 100MP image quality in a format that’s suited to the fast pace of street photography.
The sensor is paired with a 35mm (28mm equivalent) f/4 lens that’s sumptuously crisp and sharp, making the most of all those pixels. And having all that resolution to spare means you can make use of powerful digital crop modes to simulate longer focal lengths, with 45mm, 63mm and 80mm equivalents available. Even cutting into the image significantly, you’ve got so many pixels that you’ll still achieve a high-quality image, and if you shoot in RAW, the entire sensor readout will be recorded anyway, so you can always ‘de-crop’ the image if you later change your mind. Be aware though, that if you do shoot in this format your memory cards will fill up quickly.
