Sodapoppin showed off a major camera upgrade during a recent stream, revealing he dropped roughly $11,000 on new gear to improve his face-cam quality.
Viewers quickly identified the equipment as a Fujifilm GFX 100 II paired with a Fujinon GF45-100mm F4 lens. Some viewers noted he mentioned a $13,000 price tag earlier in the broadcast, though the difference likely accounts for accessories and capture equipment needed to get the camera working with his streaming setup.

This is a weird pick for streaming. The GFX 100 II is a medium format camera designed for high-end commercial photography and professional video work. Most streamers use consumer mirrorless cameras or dedicated streaming webcams that cost a fraction of the price.
The difference is visible on stream. Sodapoppin’s face-cam appears noticeably sharper with better color and depth of field compared to typical streaming setups. The image has a more cinematic quality that stands out from the standard webcam look.
The catch is that Twitch’s compression and bitrate limits may reduce how much of that quality actually comes through to viewers. The platform compresses streams heavily, especially at 1080p, which can soften detail and introduce artifacts.
