Fujifilm X-H1 vs Fujifilm GFX 100S: Physical Specs and Body features Comparison

Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, We are going to illustrate Fujifilm X-H1 and Fujifilm GFX 100S side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm X-H1 has external dimensions of 140 x 97 x 86 mm (5.51 x 3.82 x 3.39″) and weighs 673 g (1.48 lb / 23.74 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm GFX 100S has external dimensions of 150 x 104 x 87 mm (5.91 x 4.09 x 3.43″) and weighs 900 g (1.98 lb / 31.75 oz) (including batteries).

Below you can see the front view size comparison of Fujifilm X-H1 and Fujifilm GFX 100S. Fujifilm X-H1 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 10mm narrower, 7mm shorter and 1mm thinner than Fujifilm GFX 100S.

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm X-H1 and Fujifilm GFX 100S.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Fujifilm X-H1 is significantly lighter (227g ) than the Fujifilm GFX 100S which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.

Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Fujifilm X-H1 has an APS-C sized sensor and Fujifilm GFX 100S has a smaller Medium format sensor, Fujifilm GFX 100S's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Fujifilm X-H1 lenses.

Weather Sealing

Both X-H1 and GFX 100S have weather sealings in their body, making them resistant to water and dust.

LCD Screen Size and Features

Fujifilm GFX 100S's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Fujifilm X-H1's 3 screen.

Fujifilm X-H1 vs Fujifilm GFX 100S: Sensor Comparison

Fujifilm X-H1 has a 24.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features X-Processor Pro processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm GFX 100S has a 102.0MP Medium format (44 x 33 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features X-Processor 4 processor.

Fujifilm GFX 100S's sensor provides 78MP more than Fujifilm X-H1's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely. On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.

Another difference between these two cameras is that Fujifilm X-H1's sensor lacks anti-alias (Low-Pass) filter. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moire occurring in certain scenes.

Below you can see the X-H1 and GFX 100S sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Fujifilm X-H1 and Fujifilm GFX 100S Cameras


As seen above, Fujifilm GFX 100S has a 4.0x Larger sensor area than Fujifilm X-H1. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.

Fujifilm X-H1 vs Fujifilm GFX 100S Comparison of Available Lenses
Which camera has more lenses?

Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When we look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that Fujifilm X-H1 has an advantage over Fujifilm GFX 100S There are 82 lenses for Fujifilm X-H1's Fujifilm X mount, on the other hand there are only 15 lenses for Fujifilm GFX 100S's Fujifilm G lens mount.

Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. Both Fujifilm X-H1 and Fujifilm GFX 100S has Sensor based Image stabilization which means that all the lenses will be stabilized in these bodies. X-H1's built-in Image stabilization system is effective to compensate vibration up to 5.5-stops according to CIPA standards.
