The GFX100 II boasts superior image quality thanks to the large format sensor. It is the first GFX Series camera equipped with AI-based subject-detection AF, developed with Deep Learning technology, as well as the latest predictive AF algorithm. Hence, the new sensor has significant enhancements in video recording capabilities as well. GFX100 II is also the first GFX Series camera that supports 8K/30P video and can record 4K/60P 4:2:2 10-bit video internally.

The camera body is equipped with an Ethernet port as well as HDMI Type A and USB-C terminals to significantly improve connectivity with external devices for diverse peripheral combinations. Moreover, the latest model marks remarkable improvements in both burst mode performance and stabilisation capability, now reaching an impressive 8.0 frames per second and upgrading to an eight-stop five-axis system, respectively, opening new frontiers of the GFX Series.
