The camera is priced at ₹5,49,999 in India.
Innovative Features of the GFX100RF
The GFX100RF boasts several industry firsts from Fujifilm, including an ‘Aspect Ratio Dial’ that allows users to effortlessly toggle between nine classic and creative aspect ratios, drawing inspiration from the brand’s rich film and analogue legacy. The camera is further elevated by a precisely machined aluminium top plate and meticulously designed controls, amplifying its premium feel.
