Some nice images with the GFX100S. How are you finding it so far? Apart from the obvious benefits of higher resolution, how are the files? Would you say it's a significant improvement over the 50Mp sensor?

Congrats on the purchase by the way.
Here are break down list based on priority making this camera for me.
1. IBIS. This largely open the shooting envelop as well as adaptability with other glasses, especially long glass.
2. Smaller size make it more manageable than GFX50S or Leica S. I only buy OEM 30 and 45 for smaller size and IQ. Don't want big primes for now.
3. Shutter implementation: shutter is soft with very fast response.
4. IQ, I will leave technical review for more capable person but this is the best sensor I ever worked. The color is extreme stable for process so are BW file. Channel mix for this sensor is really works that BW file can go any direction you want take it based on your preference without collapse.
5.multiway LCD implementation. (GFX50S is the same here)
This camera is quite disruptive for my gear selection. I don't shoot sports bird or want to rely on fancy AF, the camera make FF MILC unnecessary even I enjoy SL2 a lot for adapt M glasses and using Auto sigma/Panasonic. Not that it can replace it but just less likely I will reach SL2 which will become a luxury add on. This one seems largely can replace most of FF if not all for certain people. I will keep Z for 28e/58/105e trio though.
The con of FUJI would be lens speed, size and the hardware build quality. You won't be impressed with FUJI's build quality with your X1D in hand but I have to say, this is the type of tool you want to reach without emotion involved as it truly delivers.
On the other hand, It really only can't replace S for me personally. Here It is about find a system you enjoy to pick it up and shoot for whom can allow to have multiple systems. I enjoy using S's OVF whenever the condition allow. S glasses are in another league IMHO for the look. The good thing is I can at least shoot them wide open on GFX and take advantage of IBIS. I will patiently wait for a smart adapter for S to GFX.
but I have to say, this is the type of tool you want to reach without emotion involved as it truly delivers.
