Is Medium Format Any Good For Landscape Photography? - Fujifilm GFX100s Review

It's time I told you the truth. Is the Fujifilm GFX100s medium format camera really any good for landscape photography?
After shooting with it daily for two weeks I've learned all about the limitations of this pricey camera. It's time to give you the honest scoop.
Rather than a snooze fest of a review, I take you on an adventure up to Lake Agnes and Little Beehive in the spectacular scenery of Lake Louise.
I dodge repeated attacks from a dive-bombing 'camp robber', struggle to be heard over the noisy crowds but STILL managed to come away with an absolute banger...or maybe even two.
Brent takes his new identity to a whole new level and it seems I now have a new 'Number One Fan', but she's kind of demanding.
Will we purchase an overpriced instant coffee and a stale muffin at the tea house? Will I ever get used to 'Fabien' Brent's alter ego and which dog are we taking home with us?
There's only one way to find out.
Hit play and then hit Like.

Hi, big fan from Bahrain, can you please stop fighting it and get a 6x7 film camera. I'll buy all your books
Every time, Gavin tops all his previous videos. More entertaining than anything on Netflix and better for your mental health too.
Big truth :D 👍
I agree 100%!
Fujifilm, let Gavin keep the camera. His happiness oozing from every video not only promotes your cameras but significantly uplifts the mental health of all who watch in these difficult times....you would literally be saving the world. Oh, and while your at it send me a GFX100 too.....and a few lenses.
That kid at the end... might actually become a movie star one day. Superb performance. 😅😂
Gavin - you make me smile every single time. Yours is far and away my favourite channel on TH-cam, and Amanda is just so damn adorable. And the thing that makes your videos such a compelling watch is you're actually an incredible photographer. My three prints just arrived on Friday, and I feel so privileged to have them. They're getting framed on going on the wall.
As for the GFX, Fulifilm would be mad not to let you keep the bloody camera. They'll never find a better, more engaging ambassador for their products than you. How the hell can they lose?
Love your work.
Thanks for the support Peter. Glad you're happy with those prints and yeah, she's my precious girl.
@@fototripper Good for you, mate. I'm genuinely happy for the both of you. :-)
@@fototripper ohh, so your fuji is feminine now :) “your precious” :p
Dear Fuji, while Gavin only has 68k subscribers, most of us live on his every word. As an example, 19K of us got engaged right after his engagement video aired. I have noticed about 22k Sony A7M4s recently hit eBay for sale, no doubt on the assumption Gavin is keeping the Fuji camera and we all will soon be joining him with a Fuji purchase once our gear is successfully sold. If you are not persuaded by pure economics, consider the heavier camera he will be schlepping will help him get into better shape. You may actually be helping save a life. You cannot put a price or profit analysis on that. #savehardcastleslife #smallbutmightyfollowers #iwant1too
I fact checked this and it's all 100% legit
What a pisser! I agree, Jonathan!!
My favorite part of this episode was the last 10 seconds….. LOL
the ending is worth more than all the minutes in all other fototripper videos combined.
Hi Gavin it’s Jaylin (using my dad’s account) and thank you for the wonderful book (your number one fan)!
PS: your book is not a POS. ;)
Hiya Jaylin. Glad you liked the book and I reckon you aced your first acting debut :)
Jaylin--great job you did on your part of Gavin's video. Maybe you can give Gavin some acting lessons?
I feel so sorry for the people that don´t stick around for that last skit!!! Hilarious!!! 🤣🤣🤣
That was hilarious. I can't believe he asked a random kid to be part of it.
would have honestly thought it was real not going to lie until the end.
If I were Fuji, I would be sponsoring the whole group of Fine Landscape Photographers in Canada, including Gavin, Brent, Adam and Brian. Each of them has made their Art entertaining and sublime viewing.
One of your smoothest and best productions with added value that you inspire folks to leave great comments that are entertaining as well. TH-cam needs to add time to your viewing numbers for people like me who put it on pause at the end to read all the comments!
Finally, a professional photographer with a sense of humour…
What a great camera, I'll have to see if Fuji will give me one, oh wait they already did 😁😆
but can you keep it?
That ending caused me to choke on the pizza I was stuffing in my face... which in turn caused a coughing fit, all the while crying with laughter. 😐😐😐
Gavin to the Grammy Awards!!!!! The best worlds, photography plus hilarity humor scenes!!! And Fujifilm please give the GFX to Gavin please, he deserves and he is ( he will be) an excellent Fujifilm ambassador!!! 👌
Fujifilm please give Gavin this camera and lens. He did a FANTASTIC JOB PROMOTING YOUR CAMERA. I’m thinking of buying one 👌👌👌👌
They didn't.
Fujifilm just give Amanda the camera. She's earned it!
You're not a bad photographer. And you take me to some of the greatest places to shoot. Oh, I forgot, thanks Brent. Seriously, sometimes some of us may forget just how good a photographer you are and that's a shame. Thanks!
hahaha that girl at the end 😂 loved the images from little beehive ( I mean big) 😅
wahahaha, that ending... Fuji, Gavin owns that camera now.
Best end of your videos EVER!!
Laughed for minutes with it!
This is just a pure happiness therapy! Thanks for sharing all your trips with us!
The ending with that little girl... was gold! LOLOLOL
Awesome video. You’re number one fan is adorable.
You are, indeed, a funny man. Your number one fan did a great job! Best of the holidays to you both and a quick run to 1000000 subscribers in the new year. Thanks for all the entertainment.
Thank you for the stunning images and for taking me somewhere I would never have been able to see.
Damn this was epic Gavin!
Cheers mate ;)
I'm dying at Jaylin at the end🤣. Oh, @Fujifilm, I will be buying a gfx100 strictly because of this video... eventually...when it's on sale.
Gavin that bluejay photo was fantastic: Mads - Gavin it was EPIC: Tom - Gavin It was Absolutely Stunning: Nigel - It simply doesn't get any better than that Gavin: Adam - Meh: Robert - and @12:55 just WOW !!!
Reckon you've earned that camera lugging it all the way up there! Love your images and Brent's is amazing as well. Thanks for another great video.
Gavin, definitely one of your better videos of the past few months. Drop dead gorgeous Canadian scenery, mixed in with a little comedy, and even a mini review of the Fuji camera (c'mon Fuji at least give Gavin an extended loan of the gear...do you see the images he's making with your gear...what a spokesman for Fuji)!
When you were pointing out the view from Brent's higher shooting location, am I correct...is there a viewing platform up there on the top of the Beehive as I saw a roofed structure of some sort?
With all these beautiful locations Mr. Brent Henderson finds, I think he needs to stop being a personal trainer and do photo trip leading (of course with you, Gavin, leading the group).😉
Wonderful images Gavin of Lake Agnes! ♥
Looks like it, I never made it up there.
Ha ha, hilarious ending! Epic images. So much detail and colour. Well done for all the hiking!
Hahaha the young lady at the end was hilarious! Brilliant vlog as always 😃👍🏻
I’ve spoken to Fuji and they said you can keep the camera and lenses. They also said to just ignore any emails that their staff may send asking for it to be returned.
WOW, that square image was wonderful! Cute kid - she played along so well! Oh, and hey, Fuji, let Gavin keep the camera!
"Lichen sub-scribe..."... that was masterful.
Gavin, that Fuji camera is made for you!! The color science of Fuji + your photographic eyes = Awesome Photographs. I will keep my fingers crossed that you one day own that magnificent camera. 😊
Omg Gavin! That shot with the bird in there is just perfect!
OUTSTANDING!! I'm sat here in the states, Michigan. We have 4 Great Lakes, miles of coastline, waterfalls, mountains, fall color and snow. I still get giddy seeing those Canadian Rocky vistas. Wonderful work Gavin! Gives all us tubby, old guys a feeling we could still get up there with you. Thank you.
Awesome shots by you and Brent (Fabian, lol). That bird stealing your sandwich was incredible. I laughed so hard. That is a brave bird and he's forever immortalized in this video, lol. I have to say that ending was a bit of a shocker. Thanks for the review of the Fuji camera. I'm looking forward to the next video.
Who is the instant star that stole the show at the end. She is fantastic!
Second book confirmed: Chasing Brent by Gavin Hardcastle
Nice images but my favorite part of the video was your #1 fan Jaylin.
Thank you for your review of the GFX100s. The Q is absurd as Ansel Adams used large format cameras. Keep up your good work. Much success to you.
You deserve a million+ subscribers i don't shoot landscape but you are too funny to miss!...
Fujifilm, get in touch and just give Gavin the camera so that he can make a new book, called: 'CHASING AWE WITH GAVIN HARDCASTLE...and fujifilm.
Theres a link, in the description...
Wow, the girl at the end of the video is definitely a future acting star!!
I don't know Gavin, attitude from ground hogs, food theft from birds, and now dissed by your "#1 fan! I thought Canadian's were courteous! Very fun! Love these longer videos. The Big BeeHive square shot is amazing. Good work.
Stumbled upon this channel yesterday! Really liking it. I've always enjoyed British humour. Another sub for you. Nearly at the million mark ;)
Beautiful and masterful as always Gavin.
Beautiful photos Gavin, love the humour. You and Amanda are looking good together.
Thank you for share with us this fantastic day with brilliant shoots! FujiFilm give him this magnificent camera!
Fujifilm could not have a better photographer to showcase this camera. They should reach out and get in touch. And babybel of course....
This channel cheers me up. Thank you so much
Outstanding light, outstanding photographs! I wish you every success in getting Fuji Film to donate the gear to you!
Wow, those pictures look amazing. I've got to go there now.
OMG I can not believe I was just too lazy to hike to Lake Agnes. Three times I´ve been fortunate to visit Lake Louise. Can´t get any better than a Fuji camera I have the Xt2. Great images.
There's only one word for this weeks vlog - "Magnifiqwue" - well done mate, Stunning :)
Fujifilm, come on, give him the camera and lenses. After all, he did lug it up the mountain and he took some beautiful photos.
The light on Mt. Lefroy was stunning....in Brent's shot! Seriously, what a lovely spot and looks like it was well worth the hike...loved the last skit as well...I like this kid! Another great video, Gavin...thanks for taking us along!
The only thing Fujifilm could do that would be more appropriate than letting you keep the GFX 100S would be if they just randomly selected a subscriber on this channel who actually made that suggestion to also get one, along with a couple of lenses. Just saying.
Being a birder, I thought I'd let you know that your avian model was a Steller's Jay, not a Blue Jay. The sandwich thief is a Clark's Nutcracker. But its rude behavior should earn it the new name "Gavin's Ballbuster".
yeah i looked that up a while ago before posting it on Flickr ;)
LOL! Good one, John!
Most underrated channel EVER!
Always an enjoyable watch. Entertaining, and informational. The GFX100s is incredible but for me personally I'd need a whole new computer to handle those files. After a lot of sleepless nights I'm going with the X-pro 3 only because the insurance co are forcing one on me after I drown my beloved ETRSi. Fuji would be mad not to give ya that camera. Great advertising for them.
I'm with you, Paul. :-)
@@peterfritzphoto happy to have you on board Pete 📷😂❤️
Cracking video as always stunning images as ever, but how are you going to beat that ending. Tears of joy then hit with tears of laughter. So natural.
Totally unexpected ending, totally cracked me up! Give him the camera Fujifilm. Just do it!
Great video Gavin. Seeing the trails brought back lots of memories! We loved hiking to Lake Agnes, Big Beehive and the Plain of Six Glaciers. The Teahouse actually had some decent scones. Lartch trees make it even better.
Amazing hike. End had me laughing, against my better judgment.
How much effort and ideas you put in your Videos, it is such a pleasure watching them! And special thanks for your explanation about your ideas about the composition.
Fantastic shots and video. Nearly fell me chair with laughter at end lol
"Lichen...subscribe" - I groaned so hard at that, keep up the pun work Gavin.
absolutely gorgeous views and shots. I wish I was there, but thanks for taking us there. I enjoy the adventures so much and the humor.
Enjoyed this video. To answer your question, I am sure Fuji would back up the money truck if you got 250,000 subscribers. But what you convinced me is that my full frame is all I need. Too much extra work to stack-merge the extra shots.
great memories of my late wife and I when we skied this area. Thanks Gavin and Amada
Great video and stunning results. Oh and Fuji…you know it makes sense 😉
You tells em Glyn!
wow great shots man i wonder what Ansel Adams could do with a Fuji
Thank you for freezing, sweating and then freezing so I can sit here in total comfort enjoying another wonderful video. Absolutely stunning scenery and your photos are nice also.....LOL
Very funny at the end when the girl throws away Gavins book 🤣🤣🤣
I liked the second shot. It would be nice to see a recap of the photos at the end.
In your ownm words. This images are brilliant, Gavin. Every foodstepp up ro this mountain were worth it.
Really great work.
Wonderfully stunning images, some of your best I’ve seen recently. Aren’t you lucky to have Fabian as a sidekick? His new locks cut down on the glare when he removes his hat on those sunny days or you’d have to shoot at f13 with a 4-stop ND filter.
I'll give the little girl a BIG thumbs up for that book throwing .....lolololol
Absolutely loved the video Gavin. Comedy, story and stunning shots. Brilliant mate.
Jaylin skit at the end really capped that one off! She was hilarious. Well done with that and the shots of Lake Agnes and Beehive too!
the ending was awesome!
Another brilliant video. And oh my God, that hilarious ending. The No. 1 fan girl was fantastic!
Definitely the Best entertaining Photographer on TH-cam. Love your content. Can not wait till the next one. Great photographer as well.
Okay, maybe THIS episode is my favorite ;) Great content and amazing images! Fujifilm should always keep current loaners in those talented hands of yours!
Fujifilm, for the love of Mike, please get in touch with Gavin and give him the camera so he can stop talking about his book. :) Beautiful shots Gavin.
Loved this one Gavin, not only because of the entertainment as always and beautiful photos but also I had the privilege to visit Banff national park a couple of years ago before all this shitstorm broke out and did the hike upto Big Beehive past Lake Agnes so its bringing back some amazing memories or our time there.
Hopefully I can visit Canada again one day as it's so beautiful and theres so much I'd like to see over there.
All the best
Fuji, this show will sell a lot of your cameras! I am sure you will do the right thing!😉🙏🏾
@Fujifilm let him keep this camera and lenses!
@B&H buy him the camera
Take special care of your lady. She is delightful, a unique addition to your videos.
Keep on for those of us that can't hike those miles.
Breathtaking location and stunning photos, thank you for the episode!
As an old guy there isn't much that impresses me, but thanks for taking us to a place that I think is the most amazing thing I've seen. I actually shouted. I came across some of those ripples in a piece of rock in AZ and I suspected it had to do with a sand beach. Now it's comfirmed. Lichen subscribe.
Bravo Gavin! Premium content!! Incredibly beautiful images/scenery mixed with a genuine belly laugh at the end! Fuji please gift/sponsor Gavin the kit you provided!
Fujifilm give us all a camera ( tight sods) great vlog Gavin stunning shots and funny as ending 😂😂😂😂
I *totally* think fujifilm should let you keep it! Long term review, more shots like these, that would be fab. Love that you are teaching camera things even though it’s my boyfriend who does the photography, mixing it with humour, and just straight up entertaining and being you. 👏🏻
Warum? er hat ja schon das Privileg und kann es testen.
So many things to comment on here this time Gavin... first, stunning location this time. The traffic jam and unbelievable amount of people there was both wonderful and awful at the same time. So many places in our area have been trampled and to me, ruined by so many people going into the outdoors. It appears, the that commercialism has driven some of this. There are no good answer when it comes to how to manage it all unfortunately but it's still heart breaking to see what damage people an do to our wild areas.
The video, as always was perfect combo of humor, discussions of your approach to shooting the and technical challenges of taking images from that day. The ending was absolutely hilarious, that little girl deserves an Oscar. Brent is a great addition to your vlogs with his dead pan looks at you some times and the skits he's been in with you as well.
Last but not least, that Fuji GFS100s is a stunning piece of technology and produces wonderful images. It's one of those cameras, just by using it, seems to give photographers super powers when creating image. At approximately $15,000US to get a decent set up though, puts it out of most non professional, and some pros too, price ranges for that equipment. How would most people justify that cost is beyond me. I do hope that Fuji can put that camera and lenses you have used on permanent loan to you so you can keep using it and not have to fork out all that dough.
See you again real soon...
Cheers,
Rob
The Fuji GFX100s is a great Landscape camera.
Its just a shame Fuji chose the smallest physical medium format sensor available.
With a larger sensor Fuji could have had a fantastic Landscape camera.🦘
Come on fuji, just give him the camera, look how happy he makes us...
Gavin - I enjoy all your videos and always look for your lates to come out, you and Amanda always put a smile and laughter on me always - keep them coming!
Beyond stunning photographs Gavin.Can’t wait to get back to the Rockies! Fujifilm - JUST GIVE THE MAN THAT CAMERA!!
