Don't Fall For The X100VI

The X100V is almost a perfect camera! I have had this camera for several years, along with every other X100 Series camera. Is it worth the upgrade?

Buying a used X100V is more money than getting a new X100VI. Best the feature of the VI is that you can actually order one. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@hunterhart1]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@masonerwin9249]

Well said. Not to mention the X100V was made in Japan and the VI in China. We've already seen a bit of a difference in quality control from these manufacturing differences with Fujifilm. If anything, it's time to pick up an X100V again now that the market is coming back to earth.

[@ramblingcameraman990]

The benefit to the 40 megapixel is cropping in camera to get a true 20MP 50mm shot and a 10mp 70mm shot. I would not care about the higher megapixels on a interchangeable lens, but on the fixed lens it really makes this camera much more versatile.

[@hunterhart1]

You can get the WCL or the TCL if you’d like a 28mm or a 50mm, they work for all X100 cameras and the quality doesn’t dissolve. I’m sticking to my guns on the 40mp is too much. Thanks so much for watching, subscribing and taking time to comment 🙏🏼 a

@@hunterhart1 yes you can, and then you’ve got 28/35/50/70/105 by combining digital and the converters, which is a pretty damn versatile setup in a package that fits in a 3l sling bag. It’s the ultimate travel setup. That’s what I’ll have, if my pre order every comes in lol.

You'll never get a 50mm or 70mm shot by cropping simply because cropping does not change the physics of the lens.

Im an xt3 user before and sold it to buy the a7iv due to the accuracy af of sony full frame for my professional work. but now the x100vi released, i preorder it and just waiting it to arrived. the color reproduction of fuji made me come back.its just phenomenal!!!

[@BenLomonRail]

I had a V for about a year and a half up until early last year. Had to sell it for financial reasons, but would have kept it if I could. The launch of the VI coincided perfectly with my finances getting back in order, so I went onto Facebook Marketplace and found a like-new V at a much more sensible price (compared to the crazy "hype pricing"). I also own an X-H2 with some lenses, so I already have access to the 40mp sensor and find it better suited to that camera and for what I use it for (though all purely for hobbyist photography). The V remains my favourite camera of all time and I have no intention of ever selling this one.

[@johnnyszumlanski6882]

So fun the HYPE around this camera. Many people think it is because everybody wants to shoot with the X100VI. I have been traveling in Thailand for only 10 days now. I already met 3 people that bought the X100VI. Nobody for shooting them self, but only for selling to a higher price later. My only digital gear are Fujifilm, but I think they are not really doing much good the last couple of years by developing cameras that focus on photography. They are on the hype for people just want everything going faster, more pixels but 95 % only have there picture on social media. So fun to see

It’s definitely an interesting dynamic between what’s good and what’s popular. Thanks for watching and subscribing 🙏🏼

[@RandyPollock]

I have the 100VI and love everything about it, I had sold my 100V back in the Fall for an awesome price knowing that the six would be out this year...I'm happy with the 40mp as I can crop some without issues and thankfully it doesn't have more video features, and this is a photographer's camera. I agree the ND filter is super nice and the fact it's a real ND filter and not software makes it even better

[@LiamPhotoATL]

Great video Hunter and I said pretty much the same things in my x100 VI video I would’ve been far more impressed with the 26 megapixel stack sensor from the X H2 S because the faster read out speed in the better low light performance if they had couple that with the ibis, they would’ve had a grand slam

[@hunterhart1]

Thanks man, and thanks for letting me know how ya felt about it. Maybe they’ll come out with an X100VIS lol

[@sssf55]

It's simple, the X100 line and the Leica Q line are direct competitors. Previously, the only reason to own a Q3 was that the higher megapixels helped you retain resolution when cropping in. Now that the X100VI can do the same and has better OIS, the Q3 is a completely redundant tool.

[@alexandergrafvonrothenstein]

A Leica Q3 from Germany is never redundant, but it costs more than the "Made in China" Fujifilm X100VI. But it has a fullframe sensor, 20MP more, the better lens.....and last but not least......it is a Leica ❤ The Fujifilm X100VI is a nice camera, but not the same. 🤷🏻 Much greatings from Germany 😊

[@sssf55]

​@@alexandergrafvonrothenstein Good point it's disappointing that they moved from made in Japan to made in China for the X100 line. I haven't used the X100VI to be able to tell if there is a significant difference in quality but that's a good observation. In terms of Image quality, the Q3 was slightly better than the X100V (more so in low light). But the X100V was a much faster camera in terms of autofocus and operation. The issue is that even though the Leica uses a larger sensor, its digital processing has not advanced significantly in years. Fuji's far superior processing on X-trans closes the gap quickly. I'm sorry if I'm coming off harsh. I love Leica cameras, but I feel that as a company they been advancing very slowly in the last decade. Leica needs to make better cameras if it is charging 4-5X the price of a Fuji, because there is little reason to buy one other than wanting a "Leica" experience.

[@sauzefilms]

dont forget the Q3 has a full frame sensor with its own color science, it's properly weather-sealed (at least the 100VI is possible with a basic filter), has a proper focus tab and distance markings (helpful for zone focusing), and it's a German brand that's German-made. idk why you're saying it's redundant when they're different cameras.

[@BrunoChalifour]

The only competition between the two is budget, and size maybe (but the size of the Q line may be an advantage over the Fuji X100 line whose small size (except for parking) some people may have a problem with). I think Fuji has been very careful, for whatever reason ;O), not to step too much on other competitors' toes and, for that matter, stay within the APS-C line. Both X pro and X100 lines (inspired by Leica M as far as their design and their pseudo rangefinders/viewfinders go) do not try to compete directly with Leica (which might be a reason why Leica seems to be discontinuing its APS-C line (TLs and Cs), just a hypothesis of mine here). Using a Q is a very different experience from using an X100 (the way they are built, the way one uses them, the sensor, the lens, the color science... in all these the Qs beat the X100s).

[@hubertcole1645]

Buying a Q3 is for same reason people buy Rolex watches … mostly for show.

[@scotth7129]

This vindicated for me the fact that I'm super happy with my x100v. For hobby-est photographers (--> me) 24mp is plenty, and I'm not looking to store huge files. IBIS has just not been an issue for me. Honestly you're one of those photographers where I see your images and I just think, okay, it's not the camera. It encourages me to keep working on my skills.

40 is not overkill. Pixels for pixel sake is not about enlarging. It’s about lack of AA filter, better tone gradations, correcting keystone distortions after the fact, slight re-compositions later too. And hard drives have never been cheaper per GB than they are now.

First of all great video! I'm happy my photo made a cameo appearance. I had the x100f and I loved it. I think a 40 megapixel is more useful than you would think especially if you're cropping your photo after the fact. It's also a nice little flex for Fuji to align themselves with the Leica Q series

[@hunterhart1]

A flex indeed, thanks for watching and letting me put your face on KZbin without your consent 😂

[@andrewcrossley2448]

Great point. IBIS and 40mp cropped to 20mm for 50mm perspective are both advantages as is 6/4k. I’ve seen some excellent video snippets from the VI where they knew how to get the best results by getting 4K via a high quality down sampling in camera (think it was something like HQ mode?). I’ve shot Canon pro gear for 34 yrs ever since the brilliant EOS1 came out. It still works fine today and is so simple to use, as an ex manual then A priority fan. My full on DSLR kit with L lenses weighs a ton and I’ll be 65 this week so light is best…. The reasons I have got the VI are: Size, weight, weatherproofing (with a filter), great lens both 35mm equivalent and for sharpness, advanced video snips over an iPhone pro, optical VF with add ons, and the 40mp for all the right reasons, and finally film sims as I always used Fuji since I moved to Canon. I just spent a few hours yesterday scanning in some old family photos of my son in 1986 on a a Minox GT35 and my niece in 1990 on the EOS1, both were shot on Fuji. The negatives were excellent giving true to life colours but the Provia slides were amazing. So the VI will save me all that processing hassle. As an indicator, I took the Canon pro and Bronica MF kit in the early 1990s to the West Coast U.S.A. including the Grand Canyon and then to India. Each trip cost close on £1k in film, development and test printing. All the Fuji negs and slides look like the day they were shot. By the way 98+% of exposures were perfect, as I know how to use exp comp. I’m off to a tour of China in a few weeks. Thinking of just the VI, my friend’s good Panasonic hybrid with its 1200mm equivalent reach even though it’s only 16mp, it can do RAW and 4K. I may add in my EOSM5 and the great little 11-22 zoom for confined spaces.

[@BrunoChalifour]

What is the real point of talking about a camera that you have not used yet and then spend the more than 50% of the video about the previous model(s) that have already been covered by so many??? Just create a buzz, become a sticky tape for flies? ;o) Let us face it this video is a waste of time for everyone involved. If the X100 series is so good (again, more than 50% of the video) then why the title? The X100-6 (VI) is just its latest iteration, with 40 Mp (that at least allow croppers to crop but also knowing the camera has got a fixed 23 mm lens 40 Mp can palliate that limitation for some). The difference in price is just a fraction of the total price and offers a new sensor (which is not just more pixel but improved technology) and two major steps I can think of and that makes upgrading reasonable: stabilisation (also welcome with 40 Mp) and better processor which may have some positive consequence on the auto-focus of the X100-5 (none of the X100 generations have really impressed me in that respect). As for the one-SDX-card slot, so fa it has always been the case, nothing new here. Just add it to your wish-list and send it to Fuji that may answer you they want to keep the camera compact and adding stabilisation was more important on many levels than a second slot. Except for the increased pixel count that you have a problem with (without having used the camera, may I remind ourselves of that fact)-and I would be curious to see compare a billboard shot with a 2 Mp camera and one with a 40 Mp one-all the qualities you mention are on the X100-6 plus IBIS (stabilisation) and faster processor, where is the problem? All the more as there is a demand for X100 models (and why not for a 40 Mp one with stabilisation and faster processor/AF?). Just thinking aloud here I guess.

I was going for the sticky tape/ buzz strategy. Glad you landed in my trap. This video is made to help people who have serious gear acquisition syndrome sit for a second, see some decent photos and help them decide whether or not it’s worth the upgrade. Thanks for watching and leaving a compelling comment 🙏🏼

[@BrunoChalifour]

@@hunterhart1 Yes I have always been a fly in this world, constantly mesmerised by sticky tapes and other gluey or muddy areas, just me I guess. ;o) Your plea for the X100 V was very informed and convincing however the three issues I have had with my X100 V, namely slow and not always efficient autofocus, wanting to use slow shutter speeds (under 1/30 s) without camera/photographer blur, high ISO without too much noise (although some of it with the V can be solved with software) may be resolved by the X100 VI. All of this make it, without GAS, a camera to consider over the X100 VI... just thinking aloud here, for what it is worth... from a fly on a sticky tape ;o)

You don't need a dual card slot in 2024. The tech so so good now. It'll never fail. Also any pro - wedding photog is carrying two bodies on themselves.

[@hunterhart1]

My A7IV had a card failure last year, My Leica Q had a card failure during a wedding (luckily it only lost about 45 images and it was a second body) I don't think that is great advice to anyone. And yes I carry 2-3 cameras on a wedding day but I don't want to have the chance of a repeat Leica Q failure on a larger magnitude.

[@007bennett]

@@hunterhart1did the card fail or the reader fail? You should be replacing cards every year or two. I’ve had canon mkIIIs Nikon d810 , z6 and never had a card failure.

[@hunterhart1]

You don't need airbags until you have a wreck. The cards failed, one was about two weeks old for the A7IV and the other was probably around a year for the Q. I agree you should buy new cards but just because it hasn't happened to you does not mean it won't happen. Only 2 times out of 12 years of shooting weddings, not bad odds but to promise someone it will not happen if you just buy new cards is not valid information, if that was the case would they even make cameras with two card slots? I hope it never happens to anyone, the likelihood is low... but it can happen @@007bennett

[@saxonwilson917]

Wow! I can't believe you said" it'll never fail". That could put unexperienced photographers who don't know better into a career ending situation. I use the canon R6 and I have definitely have had a card fail. Sure, it's rare but it does happen. The memory cards are little pieces of plastic. Shit happens and then you're screwed. Redundancy is imperative, especially regarding the wedding photography business. It's always a good idea to have back up cameras, cards, flashes, and everything else. You don't need it until you need it. Sounds like bad advice to me. And yes, tech is really impressive but never flawless and could become damaged or corrupted very easily.

And some how pro film photographers didn’t have dual film cartridges. 😂 This obsession two sd cart slots is a bit silly.

[@hunterhart1]

What do you do for a living?

[@WhoIsSerafin]

@hunterhart1 I make sure homes are ready to live in for multiple real estate companies across Central Florida. And portrait work on the side. I'm just giving you hard time, I just think, just maybe, if you're a photographer, some might be obsessing a bit with dual card slot thing. Now, for you people talented enough to be able to create photos and videos, I get it! My brain just can't do it. I don't have that talent.

[@hunterhart1]

That sounds like a pretty solid job! I was curious if you were a full time photography only kind of guy or if you were a side hustle guy. I can totally understand not worrying about the card slots if you aren't shooting weddings, I 100% get that. However, I have had 2 cards fail in the past 12 years of shooting weddings and one happened to be in the middle of a wedding earlier in my career using a Leica Q with one card slot as a second body. Luckily for me, I was smart enough to only be using that camera for fun creative shots and I only ended up losing about 45 images off of the couple hundred that I took. The fact is, you don't need an insurance policy or a seatbelt until you have had an accident. I have had a few accidents and I am glad I had that insurance and seatbelt both times. I know you are just giving me a hard time, but if an up and coming photographer reads advice or comments stating that you don't need 2 card slots and then they go out and lose an entire wedding (which would more than likely end their career) I would hate for that to be due to a comment on KZbin that they have seen. I am sincere when I say thank you so much for calling me a talented photographer, that carries a lot of weight and I really appreciate you watching my videos and taking the time to comment. I would love to see some of your portrait work, I try to connect with as many people as I can on this platform! @@WhoIsSerafin

@@hunterhart1 I actually was getting card failures in the early years but once Olympus implemented wireless photo transfer for raws in 2016 I never took out my sd card again. I realized I never had issues again probably because they weren’t being messed with. And I’ve actually had an issue with my 100v sd card because you can’t wirelessly transfer raws. Even the updated app is horrible! And I just got the Nikon ZF and that app is fantastic is fantastic for wireless transfer! Even easier than Olympus/OMsystems. That camera has two card slots and I don’t know what to do with them 😂

The obsession with dual cards is bit ridiculous in my opinion. In reality when have you had a card fail for if it is the camera a dual card will save you. Just buy a high quality large capacity card. I been using digital cameras since 2008 and never had a card failure or a camera.🤗

[@hunterhart1]

[@BrianWarnercontinuousqa]

Let's flip the question and ask, "why pay $1500 for a used x100v today, when you can pay $1600 for a x100VI when it's in stock?"

[@hunterhart1]

I found an X100V for $950 yesterday. But yes, I agree. The question at the end of the video is "if you have an X100V already, is it worth the upgrade" and "if you don't have an X100V then you should get an X100VI"

[@hunterhart1]

@@mvisperas okay, so you just said Victoria secret is using 16mp for a billboard but you need over 100mp to make a billboard? The point is, you’re probably not using an X100 to blow up a billboard more thank likely. But if you are, (according to you) the X100V does not have enough megapixels either. So you’re stuck with a GFX100 or a Hassleblad in order to produce an image large enough for your billboard.

[@BrunoChalifour]

@@hunterhart1 Interesting argument for one who titled his video "Don't Fall for the X100VI".. or did I hallucinate ??? ;o) Next time title it "Why the X100 V is a camera to be considered". Didn't you speak your introduction of almost 2 mn about the X100 VI (that you have not used; yes, you mentioned that and I did hear it, thence my puzzlement) and define the goal of the video as being about whether one should upgrade to the X100 VI or not?!? Or again was I hallucinating in which case I definitely need to be "appeased". ;o) Your first sentence "I have been fortunate enough to have every X100 camera in the line-up until the sixth one which I don't currently have."... and the next one as well as the next 1 1/2 mn are all about the X100 VI and defining the topic of this video as "should you buy the X100-6"... these are just facts and I do n to need to be appeased, thank you.
