- i love the crop dial with the magnification lever on the front, you can make any focal length with any crop you want instantly

- i've no idea about the image quality etc. as it was a store demo
Phil, thanks for the nice bullet list. On your second point above, I can tell you the IQ is great. Beyond great. How do I know? Because it is the same sensor I have been shooting since the day the original GFX 100 came out and that I shoot now with the 100 II and 100S (IR). I haven't seen the lens output, but if Fuji designed a 28 fixed lens specifically for that camera, it is going to be outstanding IQ. Better than outstanding. It is going to be the very best.... Except for P1, and no one has that camera except 4 Unicorns I know that have popped up on other MF camera forums and that laugh when I call them Unicorns, but those guys don't count, and that camera doesn't count. Why? Because no one has it except a few corporations and some strangely driven very rich Unicorns (even richer than The Tyrant King James Kasson, who is also a Unicorn because he shoots GFX and Hassy!) that only are seen in the wild about as often as snow leopards. 😁
Your point about the crop dial on the back and the mag lever on the front....
I am shocked that Fuji did that. Two physical controls just so people can crop in camera. Astonishing. I just don't get it. I would never change the EVF view to some kind of fake crop for jpeg output because I've shot nothing but raw for so long and for me, cropping is in post and can be done in 3 seconds to a degree that is tailored for each shot vs some predetermined fake established crop that is just for jpeg output. I know some people. especially new shooters, want to see that crop in the frame to help compose.... OK. But not me. Two physical dials just for fake in camera jpeg cropping purposes? No no no no..... Just amazing - but not as amazing as not having stabilization.
OK.... Why am I here on this thread if I'm not buying the camera (the first GFX camera I will not buy)? Well, because it is so beautiful, and I want it so badly. I have dreamed of it for so long. I can't stop thinking about the GFX Q4. But I'm in shock over the no stabilization decision. I just can't get over it. And two physical external controls for fake cropping that no one does min camera? Who does that? Who? Why? When?
Oh, by the way, our official name for the camera in the wild is the GFX Q4. I think we can all agree on that....
