I got hands-on with the new Fuji X100VI on the day it was announced in Japan and took my new friends out and about for some night street photography. With limited time due to the X-Summit schedule, we raced to Shimbashi and then went back out for a super late night evening in Yurakuchō and Shinjuku.
This was such a fun evening nerding out with so many different cameras and making new friends - one of the things I'm eternally grateful to have experienced as a result of this KZbin channel. Hope you enjoy it!

Can’t believe I’m actually IN a @joeallam video. Thank you for an amazing time. You made it one of the best trips ever! HEIF!

[@27hdyx6b3ym3w]

Can't believe to see @jonas_rask in a Joe Allam video! Hope to see more of you in action Jonas. Love the energy between you guys!

[@Norcal_KT]

Jonas! My favorite photographer! 🔥

[@joeallam]

Thanks for the great hangs, Jonas! You brought so much energy with you 🙏 Until next time…

[@joshjagdfeld1141]

Street photography with Jonas Rask! What a flex!

It was super fun finally getting to hang out properly Joe! So much fun. Can’t wait to come back! .HEIF

[@mauricio.montoya]

I love your channel man!!! It’s so nice to see you get some recognition. Keep up the good work!

[@joeallam]

For sure dude! Such a great HEIF! 🙌 Looking forward to the next time already!

[@rymack5715]

GXAce and Joe in the same video is an Avengers: Endgame-level crossover event! 🤯 Great video Joe!! ❤

[@SamiPaju]

Haha thought I spotted you in the corner at the 8 minute mark :D

[@jifftubillara6735]

Nice!

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

I've been hoping this video was coming! Appreciate it Joe.

[@joeallam]

Cheers! This was such a fun evening of photography and drinks! 🤘

[@LeodiAstoriaXIII]

All the Fuji legends are gathered here! Huge shout out to GxAce, what an amazing channel and photographer.

[@midnightkendo]

What a powerhouse group of photographers!! My lord!

[@albertocalore2414]

I was not anticipating this amazing collaboration!!😲

[@tappersreviews4677]

GxAce is so humble. His videos are amazing IMO. Completely unique and fun. Looks like you all had a great time in Japan. I got my X100VI last week. Used to have the F, so the VI is a great upgrade for me.

[@joeallam]

Incredibly humble! Love his videos and the unique little corner of the internet he’s made. Happy shooting with the new camera!

[@MrBlistertips]

Ahhh…the unassuming GxAce. As sure a sign of raw genius as any 🙌🏼

[@JamesPopsysPhoto]

Loved that Joe!

[@joeallam]

Cheers dude! So much fun running around with so many cameras!

[@kayflip2233]

Tokyo, the ultimate street photography city. Between the action, swarms of people, neon lights everywhere, rain and stunning Japanese aesthetics in the world's largest urban center, you can't really beat it.

[@قرض]

It's truly invigorating witnessing the X100vi in full swing! The dynamic vibe and camaraderie showcased in this video are simply fantastic. Continuously pushing boundaries and creating outstanding content - kudos to all involved!

[@daniellewatches]

The only Fuji X100VI video I've been waiting for! 🙏

[@JoanAvilez]

Bro you haven’t popped up in my subscriber feed in 7 years! So cool to see you still doing KZbin!

[@joeallam]

Dang! Welcome back! Still going but still having fun and always improving 🙏

[@khyezr]

Such great energy and vibes in this one Joe! definitely my kind of X100VI video than a typical specs filled one 🥳

[@joeallam]

Cheers man! These videos are always so much more fun to make as well 🙌

[@bunsuke.nihongo]

Hi Joe, I've been a big fan of the channel for a long time (I bought my Fuji X100F after watching your review many years ago). Always love these video's, they're just so well made and I catch myself binging your content whenever I have the chance. I make a very different type of content, but if you'd be up for it, I'd love to meet up in Japan in April or early May! (Your Japanese is sounding good btw!)

[@jckodaks]

Great to see Jonas on this video!

[@nielsgeo]

Love to see what happened before I ran into you in Golden-Gai that night. Absolutely sick crew and amazing shots. Hopefully see u soon mate 🤙

[@retropixer]

Enjoyed the heck out of this video.. What a crew! Thanks.

[@boohaka]

Been waiting for your take on this camera. It ought to be called the Fuji Unicorn!

[@philhasacamera]

Great video as always! Also gx ace has the best channel!!

[@mb-watches]

Man, what a treat, thanks Joe, this was really fun. Good to see you guys having a great time🙏🏻👍🏻 I am back and forth whether I should just order one or not. On the other hand thinking about a g7x mark iii. Totally different animal but something i just can take with me, do some pics and vids and that’s it. But the x100vi is soooo tempting. Happy weekend, cheers mate 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@joeallam]

Thanks man! I have very fond memories of the G7X - the original was a solid build. It’s a shame it never really got updated much as time went on. Very different camera for sure, but one of the best for just “telling your story”

[@mb-watches]

@@joeallam really going back and forth about the miii. Aufofocus seems to be improved and for run and gun nice, would love to see an update but can’t see canon do that.. On the other hand the Fuji is tempting but right now still hard to get. Great to have those problems though 😂😂

[@alisonwatkins4025]

10:30 this hit me so hard... I'm so tired of shooting with people not expirenceing the place. I wish I had a photographer friend... If I were to bring anyone of my friends they would get sick of me stopping to shoot... 😢

[@TheVFXbyArt]

11:08 Holy cow! Mr GxAce himself, Casey!!! Big fan!

[@KillerTacos54]

I can’t believe I missed this upload! This was a phenomenal video and right up my alley! I came to check it out after I saw your reply to a comment on your latest video referencing this one!

amazing light! cheers!

[@balazserdos8426]

Great video Allam! Also it was nice to see the 3 of you together:) I have a question, what is this jacket on you? Looks very nice and high quality!

[@joeallam]

Thanks! The jacket is from Dickies - impulse buy a few months back, but I wear it most days, including right now 😅

[@evanstheframe]

Can’t believe you all remembered your cameras after that last bar lol. Great video all.

[@joeallam]

Haha! So many cameras to keep track of 😅 To this day, I’ve still never lost a lens cap - something I’m very proud of 🤓

[@RandyOr]

What camera neck strap does Jonas? The black braided one? So nice!

[@jonas_rask]

Hey man. That’s the braided strap from Barton 1972. 💪🏼

[@justincosplay]

This video is living the dream.!!!

[@MarkPuke13]

[@sonholee5769]

Great fun. A bit of photo agnosticism in a video about the VI.

[@joeallam]

We just love ALL cameras 😅

[@elwick_photo]

That bar in golden gai is the only bar I've been in there 😂 best bar ever 👍👍

[@SENTIENT.7]

This was great!

[@Fie.Franciska]

Yaaaay @jonas_rask !! Awesome video gents ;)

[@walkswithmycamera]

Another fun video. Got mine on launch day and really liking it.

[@DaveSouthPhoto]

Looking forward to what comes from your move to japan, hopeing to visit there soon. Also, really enjoy the changes in aspect ratio you use for different parts of the video.

[@seerasan]

Looks so great Joe!! Tempting me to get my own Fujifilm camera just for photography 🥺

[@guirob]

@GxAce my favorit youtuber... ever... And you Joe, of course 😉

[@joeallam]

Honestly one of my favourites as well! So glad we’ve been able to hang out a lot recently!

[@guirob]

@@joeallam good Luck in Ozaka 😉👍

[@dair919]

GxAce ..... Legend

[@bill3117]

Ha! It must be great fun going street shooting with friends! I'm usually with my spouse who has no interest in street photography. She just wants me to keep moving along! ;)

[@joeallam]

It makes a huge difference for sure! But likewise can be a great feeling to go out alone and have nothing but photography on your agenda!

[@benjaminpoe1006]

13:01 best camera shop Ive ever been to just there on the right side

“If you haven’t seen Casey’s channel (GXACE) …..” If???? HahahahahahHa 😂😂😂

[@marcellofriko]

Man, this X100VI is on my sight, but I also have been thinking of the XT5. I cannot decide which one of them to buy 😱

[@adriannasanchez468]

Nikon ZF> XT5 > x100v

[@devsgazette8657]

Hey Joe, It would be really helpful if you add aperture, iso and shutter speed info too. Great video tho

[@jeetts59]

Well done. It must be difficult finding new ways to review a csmera that so many KZbinrs have been asked to do the ssme.

[@NJX0722]

never expected GxAce here. Possibly the weirdest collab there is.

[@chiefdispatcher]

What exactly is stopping Fujifilm from releasing a full-frame camera with an X-Trans sensor?

[@2071photo]

I too watched many @joeallam videos before my first Japan trip in 2017 😂🤘🏾 Also @davidimel that Rolleiflex strap looks awesome 🙌🏽

[@jipn4474]

really appreciate a link for the filters/adapters they are using. that square hood looks great.

[@joedlafferty]

PS, did I see GxAce at the edge of one of your videos!?!?!

[@omi3535]

Which line did u take to get the train moving shot?

[@jillkltr]

Did anyone hear which brand the square lens hood is on the fuji at about 4:15?

[@jonas_rask]

It's from YC Onion :)

[@REMY.C.]

Casey's channel is not excellent. It's supreme.

[@thomas_trandal]

Such a fun video:)

[@rick-deckard]

gxAce cameo!

What a Motley Bunch, lol,

[@joeallam]

Precisely why we all got along so well! 😂

[@guillaumebuffone4410]

Hi @Joealam! Very nice video! Wish I can go back to Japan soon - Using Lightroom to edit or just go all the way Fuji Jpeg?

[@Redcliff123]

Samuel Streetlife has mentioned this Gen 6 is not as sharp as Ricoh GR3x. Is this true?

[@dadasese69]

All mmy fujifilm camera after years of use suffer from dust accumulating between the sensor's glass. Why?

[@JeppPadilla]

Joe can you tell me which line should I ride if I want to take a shot like that 2 parallel trains? I love it so much. Great vid!

[@sue.Hoo123]

Were you tempted with the Anniversary model? Great vid, very Bladerunner around the first station 👍

[@MiguelGomez-sd1ic]

How and where did you get your x100vi???

[@michaelgravlund9194]

What filmsimulation do you use for night photography ?

[@jamesgjurovich7893]

isn't the guy with the goatee the same guy driving the taxi?

[@sstokoe2301]

So do you leave the Moment 10% on all the time? I have one and will be putting it on once I get my VI

[@joeallam]

Yep! I use the X100 series as my “social” camera. I love the JPEGs that come out and the filter just adds an extra bit of optical interest without any effort

[@6rimR3ap3r]

There's not much that surpasses photography in Tokyo, at least for me. Last year's vacation ended up in about 400+ edited final images out of like 4000 exposures :-D

[@MassimilianoPizzulin]

Hi joel, Pls, i want to ask if you share your film recipe❤

[@gurugamer8632]

Why do you use Moment 49mm CineBloom Diffusion Filter 10%?

[@simonwilliams2109]

Sooo, are you getting the band back together in Sydney in a few weeks???

[@joeallam]

Ahh man, I wish! Unfortunately not gonna be in Sydney this time 😔 I actually thought the Sydney X-Summit was gonna be towards the end of the year, so this caught me off guard.

[@simonwilliams2109]

@@joeallam No worries maybe next time. cya.

[@p13579a]

Great vid. Did you say it it's hard to know if you have taken the shot? The x100v and previous made a tiny click - has that gone? Hope not.

[@joeallam]

My X100F leaf shutter had a noticeable mechanical sound. I didn't really use the X100V enough to have memory of how it was. This X100VI was literally silent, even in mechanical shutter mode. It felt like electronic shutter mode. To the point that I asked Fujifilm directly if mine was broken, but they said it was all working as expected. I dunno though, still feels like a firmware bug...

[@maik_waf]

May I ask you what u think about the Ricoh Griiix ?

[@Babumoshaaai]

I firmly believe that X100V became so popular because that was Fuji Gods way of punishing Joe since he didn’t purchase it. 😂

[@rick-deckard]

Imel is in everyone's videos 😂

[@newaegidius]

WoW❤

[@peteru3357]

Is this point and shoot or do you edit the image?

[@ThomasS85]

Wer all your x100vi pics with cinebloom filter?

[@MikeLikesChannel]

I use the Black Pro mist 1/8 all the time. I like the Cinebloom 20% too, but it’s *very strong* in some scenes.

[@yakamo]

Great photographer, tired of gear talk with so many youtubers. its just boring! made it in 35sec and closed the video.

[@TungstenOvergaard]

No need Cinebloom filter for x100VI. Lense is soft otherwise (unfortunately).

[@dccoletrain]

That’s actually not accurate according to another KZbinr that ran tests.

[@TungstenOvergaard]

@@dccoletrain Wait for comparison against 2019 GRIII (you will be surprised!). Fuji improved the lens in X100V but lags way behind competition. True reviewers are asking for further improvement now that we have a 40mp sensor.

[@dccoletrain]

@@TungstenOvergaard Eric Gibaud who I don’t follow but has over 100k subs last video. He was impressed

[@TungstenOvergaard]

4:22 NiSi hood?

[@jonas_rask]

It's from YC Onion :)

[@BrandonBurk]

Thanks man@@jonas_rask

[@johnmilner0859]

Nice video. Preferred both the film cameras to the most overrated, over hyped and expensive Fujifilm series of cameras. I love Fujifilm cameras and own several, but in the X range.

[@weljenks]

After much real world experience, fixed focal length lens cameras just don't seem practical. The zooming with your feet mantra just doesn't cut it in most real world situations.

[@joeallam]

Honestly, I love primes more than zooms. I find the simplicity of the setup adds more dynamics to the experience of photography

[@weljenks]

Nothing against interchangeables if you’re willing to carry the gear, but a non-interchangeable fixed lens camera is frustratingly limited for something that costs this much money. This is a niche boutique fashion statement to some degree.

[@RaymondwLin]

HEIF !

[@raymondludlow5970]

GAS wants x100vi lol

[@fahadbinsakhawat3669]

Their filter system is forced, because of they should make it more easier like at the cameras

[@martographie]

Sadly the name is not the „R“…

[@joeallam]

Yeah, but I totally understand. Seems like the right time to make the change, or rather, they did 4 years ago…

[@euphoriatuananh]

Not much difference from iPhone pro max series

[@alejandroalcantara7739]

JaJa x100vi same old thing and people pay for it

[@justamanwithanopinion]

Cancelled my preorder after the VI launch was - intentionally or otherwise - botched by Fuji not having the supply to meet demand. The Q2 is older and still miles better.

[@dccoletrain]

Hope they don’t go out of business😂 Enjoy your 3x the price camera

[@rick-deckard]

Thats okay! Hes justamanwithanopinion. 😅

[@adriannasanchez468]

Fuji is Chinese made now and they knew the x100vi was gonna be a big release and still? Didn’t create enough stock? You know what that tells me? Low confidence in their product or laziness. I’m anticipating lots of problems from these Chinese made x100’s
