Fujifilm X100V - Photographing Route 66 with Fujifilm's latest compact camera

[@Gmakamian]

I just wanted to mention that after watching everyone's x100v videos, yours is the only one that spoke to me as a photographer and an artist. Thank you for making this video, and really beautiful images.

[@vistek]

Thanks so much, Greg! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@seanfshannon]

That's because Kyle McDougall made it! If you haven't checked out his channel, I would highly recommend it. All his videos are superbly produced and very informative!

[@vistek]

Thanks, Sean. 🙏

Sean Shannon Thanks I was wondering who he was. ✌️

This is hands down the best review of this camera. This is a real gem in the current photography-youtube realm. Vistek give the team a raise and let them run free with this format.

[@vistek]

Thanks for the comment. 🙏

[@sarahdippity]

This is all because of KYLE MCDOUGALL. I love watching all of his videos. You must check out his channel. His filmmaking skillz are superb!

[@jameshammond89]

This is how reviews are done

[@vistek]

Thanks James!

[@lukmie2769]

You had me with this review the moment I did not hear you say: WHAT’S UP YOU GUYS. Straight to the point, under 10min, and gorgeous shots. Keep up the good work and thanks.

[@LeeZavitz]

Love the production on this review. Well done.

[@vistek]

Thank you, Lee. 🙏

[@impatrickt]

@@vistek I concur with Lee. Fantastic.

[@RJKaur]

best camera review i’ve ever seen hands down 🙌🏼

[@glennsak]

Best images I've seen for the Fujifilm X100V. Bravo!

[@alexkim9270]

2 years still after the release of this video the X100V is still flying off the shelves thanks to other KZbinrs, Influencers, and Tik Tok trends. I just wanted to cement the fact that *this* is the video that had me dead set on getting the camera. Thank you for such a wonderful showcase of how graceful this camera truly is.

[@vistek]

Thanks Alex! Kyle has a great KZbin channel - I encourage you to seek it out. He’s in the UK now, but definitely wish he was still making these beautiful videos for us.

[@Batten-jc6ws]

I really enjoyed the way you presented information in your video. No BS, no fluff. Excellent commentary and videography.

[@ULATAN.]

I haven't been excited by a digital camera for a long time, until now. Thanks Kyle!

[@choppee20]

The most artful and beautiful review for the X100V so far. While most reviews go very technical this one has soul!

[@vistek]

Thank you, John!

This is exactly the type of review on Fujifilm gear releases I long for. A golden ratio of personal impressions/opinion and hard specs also great images and true creativity in choosing scenes. The flow is really nice and from 7:16 it rises to an emotional level, something users of the X100 series will understand only (hands down to the great choice of music as background). I would love to see more content coming from you either on the X100V, other Fujifilm gear or in general.

[@vistek]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@tomcrookes5689]

Your photos are so beautiful , thank you for an emotionally engaging review. Your shots are only matched by the beauty of the X100V design!

[@michaelj7069]

I just got mine a couple of weeks ago and man, this is quickly evolving into my main camera. I had the F which I really didn't like as much as I was hoping. Well the new lens and viewfinder has changed this. It is exceptional.

[@nobraidps]

I only watched it because of Kyle. He's a top man and know his cameras, love his channel.

[@anthonyhsu3182]

really liked how you organized this review by walking, explaining and also showing sample pics, this is the last video that I watched before making up my mind to buy a x100v

[@JoeLopez]

Great video. I love Route 66 and the Fujifilm X100 series. Thank you.

[@matthewmosley7275]

Best Fuji X100V review on KZbin... Hands down.

[@vistek]

Thanks, Matthew. 🙏

[@runninblue9415]

That's a ringing endorsement from someone I really respect. That'll do for me 😁

[@vistek]

Thanks so much. 🙂

[@nikolettkovacs2479]

What camera are you filming with? It’s beautiful. Is it the Panasonic GH5?

[@stephenlloydco]

@@nikolettkovacs2479 I beleive he uses a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema

[@SourianteOrange]

Great review! You are the only one professional (after so many) that showed the video option on this camera! Thank you for the good work!

[@vistek]

Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@SaidKarlsson]

I’ve watched a lot of reviews of this camera, but I think yours are the best. Many thanks for putting the time into making this. Great photos too!

[@johnchedsey1306]

That looks like it would be a great walk-around camera. and this video makes me anxious for my next trip to the desert southwest and old 66. This camera seems ideal for abandonment photography.

[@paulthompson2991]

The best 'non-geek' review. It reminds you that 'ok, this is a great technical piece of equipment' but, much more importantly, it inspires good photography... it demands that you think about what you're shooting from an aesthetical point of view the get the best out of the camera. I've been an art director for 30 years - essentially being a photographers' third eye (when needed). But now I really feel the need to take on being the photographer (as a hobby) and this camera definitely helps inspire me to do that.

[@1800marwin]

Thank you for your genuine passion and enthusiasm for this camera :)

[@abhinavnain7013]

God! what an amazing cinematography and what great camera

[@raspberryeri]

Beautiful photos! I've loved Fuji for a long time because of this reason, it's full of life!

Definitely the best review of this camera. Thanks, great job!

[@jasonfus]

Amazing production!!!!!!!! Love it!

[@TheGuigotz]

beautiful cinematography !

[@TornadoAlley100]

Amazing video. Thanks for producing such a professional review!

[@brian-beeler]

Totally off topic but everything about this video is so well done. The visuals, color, editing and story line are all spot on. It's nice and rare to see videos crafted with so much care. I can see where having a film background has influenced the creator's work. Also it's a very good review of the X100V. Anyone can reel off the list of specs for the X100V but few can speak to its soul which the X100 series truly has. Thanks and yes, I've subscribed with notifications turned on. =)

[@vistek]

Thanks so much, Brian. Glad you enjoyed it!

Best review Ive seen and beautifully shot. Great job.

[@Barrrt]

This was really nice. I love your photographs, even though I normally don't care for this genre. The calmness of your presentation is wonderful. Thanks.

[@Nulrom]

I started like "nah man, I will never pay 1400 bucks for this camera" and now I'm "well probably I just need to sell everything to get it". This fujifilm commercials are becoming more and more sofisticated. Great images btw.

[@redspotaquashrimps]

Great review! I just ordered mine. Can't wait :)

[@jlisehrl]

Hands down, this is one of the best reviews I've seen on KZbin yet. Such nice camera work, beautiful colors. Everything is on point. Can you give us some hints how and with what gear you've filmed the review?

[@vistek]

Hi raiiid. Kyle filmed this with the BMPCC 4K, unless the footage otherwise would suggest it comes from the x100v. The B-roll should all be BMPCC 4K. I would caution you that I don't think the camera or lenses matters at all here. Kyle is a very talented filmmaker who knows how to frame shots and tell stories well. The review would have looked the same no matter what camera he used. You can follow Kyle on his own KZbin channel. We highly recommend it!

[@anastasiasky2345]

Wow, what a great review and awesome job overall! I am patiently waiting for my camera to be delivered in the next couple of days. Couldn't be more excited. Actually, I think I can, after this video. So huge thanks for that!)

Hot damn. Production quality is on point.

[@CertainExposures]

Man. I like the color, editing, and pacing on this. The off-center comp with that golden hour beard glow at 2:30 is so nice. What was the camera and lens setup for filming this video? Was it the Ursa with an anamorphic lens or something?

[@vistek]

Thanks! Filmed with the Blackmagic Pocket 4K and a vintage anamorphic. On-cameras and product stuff was with the Sigma 18-35.

[@whitekiki]

@@vistek any filter used? Nd etc.

[@vistek]

Hoya PRO ND when needed.

[@Smoothblue90]

I like the color of the video. I'm not a video person. Is the correct way to say that is that I like the color grading on the video? I like the muted colors.

[@campodelverano86]

@@vistek What vintage anamorphic is that? An anamorphic adapter or true anamorphic lens?

[@nelsonlim7905]

Best Vlog about Fujifilm X100V. Very beautiful image compositions. The camera's only downside is no video stabilization.

I’m sure you’ll love it Mark!

[@CalMukumoto]

Just order one too.

[@hustleberryfinn9757]

I made the switch last year from film to the x100f and i switched back. There is something about going to the lab getting film loading your camera and hoping the shots turn out the way you want them too. It really feels like work to perfect where i took shots from the x100f and they turned out amazing but my job took 5 seconds of framing and i was done. Great camera nonetheless

[@emidyl24]

wow, great review. New to Fuji, recently purchased the XT30 and love it.

I owned the original x100. When I would buy new lenses for my other cameras I always would want to go back to my x100 for some reason. It’s just fun, it challenges you. Felt so great on my hand. I unfortunately don’t have it anymore but I am planning to buy the X100v to carry with me all the time and have my XT2 ready for when I really need it. Great review.

[@wearetheunknown8162]

Great review, love the location of the shoot. I love my X100F, it is a fantastic camera, I bought a Leica Q a few months ago, that is a next level on IQ but still love and use the Fuji. This new camera is a nice upgrade. Shooting Film is what has improved my digital output, makes you think more. If you get a chance to try a Q, give it a go, it really is something else.

[@inquisitvem6723]

Where can I get a new Q? It says discontinued everywhere? I am hesitant on buying a used one not knowing if there is something wrong internally.

[@denzeldin]

Great visual review, love it

[@andygray7776]

Wow, what a great video! Where do I start. Great review of a great camera. Beautifully filmed, fantastic location, great light and really beautiful filming / great presentation skills. I bought an X100F in Tokyo and fell in love with Fujifilm. That little camera, which I still use, made me sell all my heavy Canon gear and buy and XT2 which was relaced by an XT3 and several Fujinon lenses. My enjoyment of photography has got up 100%. I think you said something about these cameras having 'soul'. I couldn't agree more. Where will you be posting your images from this trip, I want to see more?

[@vistek]

Thanks so much, Andy! You can find more on IG: @kyle__mcdougall

[@silv3rArrow]

The reason it is not weather sealed is actually because all of the lens barrel moves when focusing inside of the housing. Fuji explains this in QA section of the launch.

[@jemp1299]

I'm torn between the Ricoh GR3x and the x100v but after watching this video, I have more than enough reasons to get the x100v. It's really the soul look of the captures i'm missing with the Ricoh.

[@rogbiz123456]

Hi, You needed up to now use a Fujifilm adapter for screwing on a filter to the X100V, to allow for freedom of movement of the lens when focusing at short distances, creating a clumsy pack for a"pocket" camera.. Is this now resolved with the Super ECB Protective Filter PRF-49mm? Can I put it on without an adapter without restricting movement in the lens? Also, could one fit other filters on top of it? Thx
