Fujifilm X100VI - The internet's new favorite camera

[@mkbhd]

I love the molding clay analogy for raw vs jpg

[@sheersha]

Boss here😉

[@omotayotim]

yupp.. Durvid brings out his best when it comes to cameras. well done studio!

[@nickbu]

You're truly the analogy man

[@Mayur7Garg]

Your last two chapters in this video are not correctly visible.

[@stanleydrones]

Thanks dad

[@BoomTharis]

The editing/motion graphics of this video is insane

[@dantr4n]

gotta credit the audio too

[@nlaps]

Didn't expect to see you here Boom

[@VZAAGE]

I greatly appreciate that you didn't make this a run of the mill X100VI review. I learned a lot of useful information. Thanks a lot!

[@svgerd]

the way this under 13 minute video explains SO MANY photography concepts i learned about but never fully grasped is incredible! david's got a really knack for explaining things :D

[@GuyRicheyGibbons]

who the freak did the motion graphics in this vid. unreal

[@taylor1038]

Definitely love having a proper photographer on the team for these reviews! I have been waiting for this camera!

[@SamuelElkinsPhoto]

Thanks for the nod 🤝🤝 great review as always. Your camera reviews are among my favorites

[@f1shs4lmon]

i love how the studio channel is changing into the team reviewing the gadgets that they are passionate about with main channel production quality! Lovely animations in this one!

[@jjstarrprod]

Came for a review of the X100VI, stayed for the Kodak vs Fuji history channel and the tutorial on how colors work on our retinas in super stylized motion graphics. That's a LOT of work for just one video, man ! Awesome job ! That's an instant sub, right there !

[@brandonylee]

Killed it David! One of your best camera videos yet!

[@TheBrotographer]

Lowkey David is the best reviewer on KZbin. I absolutely love you talking cameras brother.

[@wraithchaser1759]

These camera impressions/review videos David's doing for this channel are so insanely good. I have never really even thought of getting into photography as a hobby but every time I watch one of these videos it makes me want to go buy a camera and just start shooting.

[@TheVFXbyArt]

Also note: The x100VI can output 16bit tiffs as RAW conversion files. That’s big for me as I use the fuji x RAW software to output their film sims faithfully, usually with any exposure and WB adjustments or corrections. Then I use LR to mask and create grads. Now I can do that on converted Tiffs instead of jpgs!

[@michaelruss9604]

That is so sick! I've always wanted to do that with my Pro2

[@JacobChristiansen1]

is the x100vi the first to do that in the fuji line?

[@TheVFXbyArt]

@@JacobChristiansen1 xt4 was the first. Xt3 was not updated to do the same despite same sensor and processor.

[@shirokuro73]

I've watched a ton of X100VI videos over the past few days, but this is one of the best. Most other videos concentrate on just the specs, or the differences from the X100V, but you actually going into the details of why someone might want a Fujifilm camera, and then more specifically this one, I found more meaningful and impactful. I'm already sold, I already pre-ordered one from B&H on release night - but if I hadn't, you'd have sold me!

[@mohedaicebear]

David you are SOOOO talented in explaining topics u are so clearly passionate about I absolutely love these

[@kennethwedmorelund]

Hands down one of the best, down to earth, video about a new camera I've seen. And I've seen A LOT !

[@zachzacharewicz]

Dropped right after the pre orders. Love that David is the camera guy, amazing video!

[@jaykparikh37]

David’s videos are always ridiculously well done 🔥

[@ross375]

Wow! This is easily one of the most informational and well put together camera reviews I've ever watched and I've watched 100s of them over years. The simplicity of the explanations and the graphics integrated in the video. Insanely impressive! Loved it:)

[@fayemcnally4425]

You have a gift for explaining things in the most incredibly easy to follow way. The editing and graphics in this video are of course helpful too, and so well executed. Well done.

[@nugthan1957]

This is exactly why I got an XT5. I saw the hype with the x100v so got a retail price XT5 when they came out. I love taking photos but I cannot be bothered with post processing. I've not got time for that. I took a recent trip to canada and I was staggered by every single photo I took, every single one looked amazing. Most of the time people are just uploading them to instagram (myself included) so being able to just immediately upload a jpeg without fuss is a great bonus.

[@murmerjangle3016]

Wow. This wasn't just a great review of a new camera - it's a fantastic high level overview of both past and current photography technology. Well done!

[@joeallam]

Excellent breakdown of various nuances that may otherwise get lost among the heif 😬 Great video and also I'm thoroughly enjoying hanging out this week in Tokyo as well 🙌

[@Ldsm11]

@1:26 don't forget the massive amount of youtube and photography content creator hype. They all scrambled to get their hands on one because having a x100v in the title meant instant clicks.

[@ACreatr]

This is one of the best camera review I have ever seen, if not the best. So informative and thoughtful, need to see more camera reviews/photography discussions from David.

[@HakeemRazik]

Wow David, this has to be one of the most impressive camera reviews I've come across online. The level of technical detail and the presentation are truly exceptional. You should consider reviewing the same products as Marques but in this format.

[@silversavior4130]

For as complicated as this kind of stuff gets, this video did a great job of explaining the topics! Although for me the pocket king goes to the Ricoh GR xiii. Love the small form factor

[@WestonWoodfin]

I felt like I knew a lot about photography and my cameras, but this video was so informative and enjoyable to watch! Thanks David! ❤📸

[@jaysonbaudot]

Wow this is one of the best KZbin videos I've seen in a while. Marques needs to give David and anyone else who worked on this some love and a raise!

[@AndrewNatalePhotography]

Dude, what an incredible summation...fantastic video.

[@furn2313]

I never thought I’d love cameras/photography this much, Thanks David!

[@TheAbizmal]

Came for a camera review, ended up learning so much more! Explanation and storytelling is on point 💯

[@vickys9174]

The way you simplified and shared all that information is next to none. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@thebeauhollis]

This content is so good. From a creative perspective alone, it’s legit. Great job on keeping a geeky subject SUPER watchable.

[@GreenWin88]

I love everything about this video- the aesthetics, the animations, the explanations and the enthusiasm.

[@manas.tripathi]

Whenever David gets a dedicated video, I end up learning about a totally new topic. Love the way you passionately explain things brother.

[@Clemeeeee]

pre-ordered mine and I am SO excited. wanted an X100V but was not willing to pay the markup to get one second hand. can't wait for it to arrive!

[@dimatteoema]

Love the style of this review: layedback, movie-like b-roll, lots of pictures and no useless specs. (+10 points for the clay analogy)

[@valramos2003]

Another excellent explainer video from David! Really appreciate the motion graphics and sound design that help demonstrate the concepts clearly. That said, I wish there was a segment of film simulation samples that actually show and compare the thesis in the video’s title as to why it’s the internet’s favorite camera.

[@CorsairMaverick]

I absolutely love the resources you guys put into this video, from the photography of the first frame with David to the animations to explain color science. Go Studio gooo

[@tamask2172]

I'd love to see more David and Ellis videos, photography and audio are two of my black hole sized money sink hobbies and these videos cater to that so well.

[@matthewbennett1980]

Easily the most informative camera review and general digital photography video I've ever seen. Love this.

[@edwindungdung1998]

Thanks, David! I'm most grateful to learn about the HEIF standard because I saw my images in that format, and I was wondering what this new format was, left me a bit confused initially, but this sounds awesome moving forward. I too, dislike editing and have gone as far as to make a ton of presets in Lightroom to work with. Excellent video as always.

[@btteo]

My questjon is: how many of those buyers actually make decent captures? Not talking about award winning composition. Just well composed image that tells a good story. So many times I see people getting a great camera but either: 1) barely use it frequently 2) when they do, the captures are not inspiring Which leaves me the question of: if that's the case, do you need this (out of essentiality, or fomo or pretending an expensive equipment will make you pro)

[@qryph]

This was the first thing I've ever pre-ordered. So excited. Seeing this video launch after it was announced made me happy

[@CoatRooneyy]

this is so amazing. I cannot believe I didn't find this channel sooner!!!!

[@DJphotoandtech]

Ouch, AU$2800 in Australia...

[@alextat]

I love the nod to and appreciation for the colour scientists. The image compression and explanation of HEIF was also super interesting - appreciate the different angle you take on this camera launch

[@Apatura123]

Studio fast at it again ❤

[@RomanCasterline]

This video is so good. The information, the graphics, the animations, the transitions, all of it. So. Good.

[@IAKEEL]

The full production of this video is a huge upgrade from the usual behind the scenes type videos

[@hml]

This channel is quickly becoming my favorite KZbin channel. The clay analogy is awesome, David’s passion for the camera is contagious, and the animation and style is greatl. I don’t care about this camera, and yet I watched till the end.

[@ckf36]

1am upload is wild

[@nsriv225]

Camera embargo was just lifted

[@darkstepwarrior88]

what a nice way how you go in depth for this video. providing context and history while you braking down the popularity of this camera series.

[@ermice]

People calling X100 pocketable are the same people calling iPad pocketable

[@JillStella]

The only person fitting it in their pocket is Shaq.

[@macallanvintage]

Mostly silly Americans

[@KaptainKerl]

Same people calling a 2k camera cheap

[@TomKarches]

He did say “jacket pocket”

[@explosev6513]

Wow, fantastic review David!

[@PanutatRatchatasuwan]

I'm glad it's not Apple's stupid graph.

[@nesutoneko]

Really hope we can get HEIF support retroactively through firmware updates - would love to have this option on the x100V!

[@alejoaviles]

Who cares when you can’t buy it? I pre-ordered and paid for this camera 4 months ago, the day it was announced, and I still don’t have it. Thanks for the pitch David, but you should rethink your association with this terribly disappointing company.

[@SlimShady-nv4mq]

As a photographer myself, I feel like you're absolutely right. At the end of the day, people just want to capture a vibe. And, these cameras help you do just that. Great video, David!

[@dyeremi]

Seeing all these review for the x100vi makes me want it even less. I do not want a camera that every Tom, Dick and Harry now owns/wants. F fuji and their influencers.

[@theta2170]

This is the clearest, most well presented, explanation of RAW vs JPG I've ever seen!

[@ZacharyRoland]

Classic David video, these are always my favorite kind of video from the studio!

[@Zimh91]

Love the format - I thought I was about to watch "one more launch review" with specs and Fujifilm marketing pitch, but it was a pleasure to watch , very very instructive and well explained , efficient, great pictures and overall, a very experienced and wise opinion. Thanks a lot and congrats !! 🙂

[@kanefanning]

What an excellent blend of technical detail and comprehensible, succinct explanations. Great video, thank you!

[@hartmarque]

I appreciate that this is also doubles as a Fujifilm 101 video. I could’ve never contextualized Fuji’s film history so succinctly. It’s hard to explain the “why” with these cameras, but you make it look easy. 👏

[@DMProductions]

Felt like I went back to school on this, great video !

[@Anup007]

Probably one of the best X100VI videos I’ve seen… and I’ve seen a lot of them. Thanks for taking a different approach on this. Can’t wait for mine to arrive.

[@AlfonsoSprohnle]

This video was truly amazing. I love the detailed explanation about it and it shows how passionate you guys are about tech and cameras

[@slovvdecayy]

First time watcher here, i love the animations and the informations you gave. Subscribed!

[@liam.underwood]

This video was phenomenally made. kudos to everyone involved.

[@tildusia]

i’ve used an X10 for years and i love it !! I got used for free and it takes great film simulation photos, it’s not amazing in the dark but its perfect as a bacpacking camera because you’re not afraid to break it, and then you use it more😊 My photography teacher had the X100V and while it is a lot better and newer, it’s also way more expensive. Im definitely going to upgrade when i can afford it but for now the X10 is still a good camera

[@alexandre25945]

This channel is my new favorite channel… kuddos dude!!

[@pockster2854]

This is undoubtly the best video on what this camera and the hype is about. It really gets to the core of what people love about it and the technical history is beautifully explained. Besides that I really love your style of shooting and editing ^^ Thank you for making this awesome video! :3

[@Draconis8888]

Great video about photography, image files, and the hype! Love to see David's passion in the video.

[@Zipfian32]

This video is great; the story is delivered very well; the concepts, the graphics. I really enjoyed it.

[@gracem7015]

This was a great video! So informative without being condescending! Thank you so much! Looking forward to watching your other content!!!!

[@JakeSchlade]

David, thanks. Specifically for addressing: compression, Fuji's film history and encouraging Fuji to consider a full frame sensor. David, your ability to communicate technical information to the masses is incredible.

[@nagen_tm]

always love these camera videos! david always goes into the interesting details

[@mb-watches]

Awesome thoughts on this one David, really like how this channel is developing, lots of different fun stuff and a great new perspective on things like cameras. Thinking myself about adding one, regular canon shooter here, but mainly video, this would be a great, portable 3rd body for Exhibitions and stuff. And what I learned so far its also not too bad with video. Wish all of you a great week, cheers.

[@jeremenichelli]

David's videos on camera and image concepts are ones I enjoy the most from this channel, huge kudos. And yes, I one of the many who tried to buy an X100V the past year and couldn't find it online 🙃

[@VihangaDananjaya1214]

Wow. Just brilliant review. I learnt a lot than I was expecting to. Thank you David

[@maxvorobey1316]

Wow, this is one of the best most interesting camera review/overview videos I’ve seen in a bit! Learned so much. Subbed!

[@goingrogin]

I’m completely new to cameras and photography, but this camera and video makes me interested in getting one. But it’s pretty expensive and I have a vacation to Vietnam coming up. Any recommendations for a beginner camera along the lines of this one? I like the idea of not needing to do a lot of editing and it being small and light. Open to hearing options at all budgets, but would prefer < $1300.

[@BestChan2610]

Having an APSC, FF, AND Medium Format lineup would just be too crowded for Fujifilm. Introducing FF would draw away customers from both of the markets that they are currently dominating right now.

[@th29inchbgyellowtaxi]

WOW. You are a very talented and knowledgeable presenter! For a product-specific video, I agree with others - I learned so much along the way in this video. Well done! (And WHAT a camera! Been eyeing the X100 series off for years!)

[@Kenaroni]

I think I learned more from this video than I would from watching 100 other KZbin videos. And I’ve been shooting photos since the 1970’s! Very well done and to the point.

[@internetshaquille]

This might hold the spot in my heart for “best-written KZbin video” now

[@DavidImel]

I try to write most of my camera videos on this channel like this, and I have some video essays of similar structure on my personal channel 🙂

[@ImVengeance127]

The way you explain complex concepts in simple analogies and terms is always impressive! Always enjoy your camera videos.

[@shehan077]

Loved the explanation. Knew what raw was for all this time but never fully understood it. Keep these videos coming.

[@Mike0193Azul]

I just wish the 10bit heif files were more universally supported. It's annoying having issues viewing them on some software and even on windows. Converting them to jpeg is also a hassle

[@MrBernardo.]

One of the best videos about fuji that ive seen nowadays

[@oscaraguilar3479]

Motion design/animation is always top tier for these videos, love the studio style for explaining complex camera functions 🙌🏼

[@TheCoolFactor]

Probably the best X100VI video that came out. Well done! Superb production quality and tons of knowledge. Go David!

[@cashstills]

just switched all my sims over to heif bc I've never seen/heard this explained in such an easily digestible way. ty.

[@saraahsachi]

Always love the photography content David! Very informational. I’ve been influenced lol

[@lukaszv8]

Amazing video guys ❤❤❤ David passion for this stuff is uncanny. 😍😍😍

[@kbeee]

I think this really nails the answer to the question I've seen on so many other videos about why a little fixed lens camera is so sought after. I love my x100v for all the main reasons you mention, namely the small form factor and the wonderful images straight out of the camera (I enjoyed the dive into why Fuji handles colors so well!) because I don't want to sit down at my computer editing photos of my day out with friends or weekend away like I used to when I would lug a full frame kit around everywhere. A camera like this takes out so many steps between taking a photo and enjoying the finished product, and I'm especially looking forward to how the IBIS will expand its capabilities into better lowlight situations!

[@davidcharles7097]

Of all the camera videos I've watched, this is my favorite. Excellent presentation ❤

[@B1TN3RD]

Thank you for the great explanation of the HEIF file format. The only "drawback" ist that you are not able to use clarity with HEIF and some people on Reddit stated, that there is a difference between the images with and without the clarity functionality. What is your opinion on that?
