FULL STORY
======================================================================The 
first leaked images of Fujifilm's rumored GFX100RF have appeared It would be 
Fujifilm's first fixed lens compact with 100MP medium-format sensor It could 
be unveiled at the Fujifilm X-Summit on March 20 

Fujifilm GFX100RF rumors are gathering pace in the build up to the recently 
announced Fujifilm X-Summit, which takes place in Prague on March 20, where 
the premium medium-format compact could be revealed. 

Most recently, Fujifilm Rumors shared the first image of the would-be 
GFX100RF, revealing parts of the camera's back and top plate, albeit from an 
awkward angle. It followed up this post by sharing another image from 
Fujifilm's X-Summit announcement , brightening up the dark silhouette to 
reveal a few details of the camera's front. 

The expected GFX100RF is one of the most exciting cameras for 2025 . Think of 
it as a high-end Fujifilm X100VI alternative  it would be Fujifilm's 
first-ever 100MP medium-format camera with a fixed lens  a pricey, premium 
compact appealing to seasoned reportage and documentary photographers who 
value image quality above all else. EXCLUSIVE: First Image of Fujifilm

can we learn? 

So what do the leaked images seemingly reveal? Design-wise, this could be one 
of the smallest medium-format cameras ever, and that's with a compact-looking 
fixed lens factored in  impressive stuff. 

There's a new aspect ratio dial, which takes a prominent position above the 
LCD screen. It's a control like in the Lumix LX100 II , and makes sense for a 
fixed lens camera with plenty of pixels to play with. 

On the top is Fujifilm's lovely shutter speed / ISO dial, an exposure 
compensation dial and hotshoe, while on the back is an AF joystick and 
pronounced command dial, but no D-pad. 

On the front is compact-looking fixed lens  though we can't see focal length 
or aperture or if it's stabilized  a crop-lever that should make quick work 
of making the most of the camera's high-resolution sensor (like the 61MP 
Leica Q3 can), and a viewfinder selector switch like in the X100VI. However, 
there's no hybrid viewfinder here  only an EVF. 

With a medium-format sensor and fixed lens, the GFX100RF sounds like a cross 
between the GFX100S II and the X100VI. 

Personally, I hope the scales were tipped towards the X100VI  that sort of 
design and handling with hybrid viewfinder, only with the larger sensor. 
However, the leaked images suggest the rumored GFX100RF will handle more like 
the GF-mount GFX100S II with its EVF, only with a fixed lens. 

Of course, there's still plenty to learn about the camera beyond the leaked 
image, but with the X-Summit on the horizon, we might not have long to wait 
to find out more. I expect the GFX100RF to be one of the camera highlights 
for 2025. You might also like The best compact camera for 2025: top pocket
