Definition The Fujifilm GFX100 is a professional-grade digital mirrorless medium format camera manufactured by Fujifilm.
Overview Released in May 2019, the Fujifilm GFX100 is part of Fujifilm's GFX series, which targets professional photographers and advanced enthusiasts who require high image quality beyond traditional full-frame sensor cameras.

Etymology/Origin The term "GFX" is a product line designation used by Fujifilm for its medium format mirrorless cameras, with "G" possibly indicating "graphical" or "generation" and "FX" aligning with Fujifilm’s historical naming conventions (e.g., X-series for APS-C models). The number "100" denotes the approximate megapixel count (102 megapixels effective) of the camera’s image sensor, emphasizing its high-resolution capability. Fujifilm, headquartered in Japan, has been a major manufacturer of photographic film and imaging equipment since the early 20th century.
