Review from Ibarionex Perello

Ibarionex Perello is a professional photographer based out of Southern California who specializes in special projects, street photography, and portraits. He was given the chance to be one of the first to preview the new GFX100s.

In his review, here are some of his major Pros of the GFX100s:

Quick and easy autofocus, even for a medium format
Incredible dynamic range, even in only jpeg files
Detail in the highlights and shadows
Ergonomics and controls are comfortable and convenient
Prints from the files had great quality and resolution.
102 megapixel resolution gives great detail even in cropped situations.
Gave a great sense of depth, almost a 3D effect, great aesthetic quality.
Ability to create different proportions still with great resolution
Great viewfinder and articulated screen, did not require looking through the eyepiece all the time.
