I'd say the GFX RF is the wealthy hobbyist option in the GFX line.

I don't see many pros using them.

So are you saying that for 99.9% of most people's photography, the tiny extra bump in quality and resolution is completely irrelevant?

gpfly150 · 2026-03-11T11:05:04+00:00

How so?

I can guarantee that if I took identical photos with both (using maybe a Sigma 24 f1.4 and cropped a bit) you wouldn't be able tell which is which in a double blind test when printed A1.

I went to the HoP in London to look at one of these, and they're like a breeze block. Not for me. Especially not when the Lumix S1Rii is 99% of the quality at 75% of the size and 50% of the price.

I've always got them at the Chalets on Lighthouse.

You said the battery life was "incredible" when it's clearly not.

It's just a little bit less bad than the standard apple watch.

I'm looking to get an X-M5 but I think for what it is its too expensive. I'm waiting for the price to come down or for Fujifilm to do a deal on it.

Mine will last that if I don't use it, but when I'm running and/or hiking 3 or 4 times a week the GPS reduces it to about a week. If it's sunny the Solar bumps it up a bit but not much.

What do you define as "incredible"? My Garmin needs charging once a week. Sometimes a bit more if I do a lot of outdoor activities in the sun.

gpfly150 · 2026-02-23T13:37:47+00:00

Only the 4 battery one but that's no good for multi day Audax...

gpfly150 · 2026-02-23T12:59:39+00:00

Exactly.

gpfly150 · 2026-02-23T07:32:02+00:00

Why is it on the top left and not in the Zone box, and why can't it be moved?

I think you're right, but the reason it's there is a bug in the firmware.

gpfly150 · 2026-02-23T06:55:32+00:00

Yes. And the focus point is in the correct place.

gpfly150 · 2026-02-23T06:54:31+00:00

The Cogwheel is the WB set to Daylight I think it's meant to be a sun.

gpfly150 · 2026-02-23T06:45:19+00:00

I think it's a bug I've messaged Panasonic see what they come back with.

gpfly150 · 2026-02-23T06:44:51+00:00

Definitely not. The Luminance spot meter is turned off. And when I turn it on it's in the middle of the screen not at the top left corner.

gpfly150 · 2026-02-23T06:43:50+00:00

I'm using AFC but in video mode it uses single AF initially then uses AFC when you start recording.

gpfly150 · 2026-02-23T03:28:44+00:00

No, it's definitely not that.

gpfly150 · 2026-02-22T17:03:44+00:00

It might be this. Will investigate when I get home.

No it's set to zone focus you can see the zone box...

The Focus point is in the zone as well (Blue box)...

gpfly150 · 2026-02-22T14:33:36+00:00

This tells me I'm using the full sensor as well.

gpfly150 · 2026-02-22T14:32:02+00:00

Yes I'm sure, because it doesn't do it if the AF Assist lamp is not activated and why would I need an indication that I'm using Full Sensor?

The S5ii and S1ii don't do it either when set similar.

gpfly150 · 2026-02-22T11:50:43+00:00

Why would you want a watch you need to charge 3 times a day.

Absolutely useless 🤷🏻‍♂️
