During the night, Fujifilm introduced a new camera – the GFX-100 large format camera, with 102MPs and 5-axis stabilization.

Medium format (sort of) with a 55mm diagional sensor and a 10K$ price: https://petapixel.com/2019/05/22/fujifilm-gfx100-unveiled-its-a-game-changing-102mp-mirrorless-camera/

Cool! But for $9,999.00 it is out of my budget for life. Great it also has full 16-bit image files (RAW)! But it weighs in at over 3 lbs. Just something to dream about. If I want big, I'll have to keep to my two 4x5" film view cameras.

PLUS dedicated lenses of course! Still not anywhere near Hasselblad pricing though.

It's not any bigger than the GFX-50s or 50r

Interesting that Fuji uses the term: “Large Format” in their promotional piece.
The GX680 was medium format (6x8 cm) , and Fuji made lenses for large format.
They should know better...

The new GFX100 from Fuji is very interesting especially considering it has IBIS. I converted from Canon 5DIII to the Fuji X system in 2014 and currently use two Fuji X-T2 bodies with Fuji XF lenses. Rented the Fuji GFX 50S and GF zoom lens in 2017 for a photo ops trip along the Blue Ridge Pkwy in Virginia. Surely the GFX100 will have higher IQ than the 50S, but, in all candor, I have to tell you that shooting the X-T2 alongside the 50S, I couldn't detect (now) $6000 worth of difference in the IQ between them - at least not on a 21 inch computer screen. Sure, if you are going to paper the walls of Grand Central Terminal with your prints, you'll want the GFX but how many of us do that? I've had 30X40 prints made with great satisfaction from the X-T2 files. I figure that's all I need. Fuji has a great state of the art camera in the GFX100, and it's a bargain at $9999 for those who need MF IQ; and it may become a "game changer" in the MF camera market. Just my two cents worth.

Resolution and evolution are similar sounding words, but do things really improve?

100 MP with little DOF (focus depth) will be more in line with the newest cell phone imagery.

Some of the grandest and most beloved photos in history came from modest technology...

Interestingly, the trend in 4K cinema video as of late, is the use of vintage glass. Many are saying that 4k has too much detail and sharpness and has a negative affect on human perception.

There is a growing demand now for particular used camera bodies because of the look and fewer pixels.

I remember when the Canon 5D mk4 came out, 32mp was proclaimed as the threshold for the best balance. With pixels performance for example, of the 1DX mkII, it is obvious pixel count isn't everything.

Let the Pixel Wars begin, but I expect somewhere down the road, pixel intoxication will need to be treated much like any other addiction...

with a $10,000 body and lenses beginning around 3 grand, "this ain't my cup of tea". It should however gain attention from pros who get paid a lot for their work and amateurs tired of their leica toys. My advice, wait three years and buy one used for $3900 from others who jumped on board early.

The commonly held misconception is that printing stuff to "paper the walls of Grand Central Terminal: needs lots of pixels is wrong, bilboards are often printed with pixels the size of tennis or basket balls.

This is for publication like fashion for magazines, or interiors for Architectural Digest.
