What is the pixel pitch of the Fujifilm GFX 100S?
The Fujifilm GFX 100S provides 101.8 megapixels from a medium format sensor. This pixel density gives rise to a size of the individual pixel of 3.76µm.
The pixel size or pixel pitch can be calculated by dividing the sensor area by the pixel count and then taking the square root. In particular, the sensor in the Fujifilm GFX 100S measures 43.8mm in width and 32.9mm in height, so that the total imaging area of the sensor amounts to 1 441 mm2. Moreover, the GFX 100S has 11 648 horizontal pixels and 8 736 vertical pixels, for a total of 101.8 megapixels. Then, the size (height or width) of each individual pixel can be calculated as the square root of the ratio of the sensor area (1 441 mm2) to the MP count (101 756 928).
Larger pixels provide advantages with respect to gathering light, particularly in low-light situations. Large pixels notably have a better signal to noise ratio, meaning that they can better differentiate between incoming photons and the noisy signals that the internal processes of the camera create. As a result, big pixels are particularly helpful to the photographer when shooting with high ISO settings.
Sensor specs and performance
The table below compares the sensor specs of the Fujifilm GFX 100S to those of several similar cameras. The reported DXO values are indicators of the sensor's imaging quality (higher is better), covering color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape), and high-ISO noise (DXO Sports). Larger sensor cameras tend to outperform cameras of the same generation that are equipped with a smaller imager. On the other hand, larger sensors are more expensive and require bigger and heavier lenses than smaller light receptors.
