Fujifilm X100vi Thoughts and comparing my 3 Fuji Cameras

[@TobermoryCat]

By chance I visited a secret photograpy shop carrying my x100V. I learned that they had stock of the V1 prior to the 28 Feb launch but could post on 26th, arrive on the 28th. I had no knowlege or plans to buy the V! Hell, I just bought it. Ibis for me is a huge win. Hand holding at quarter second opens up a load of possiblities. It also helps avoid using F16 etc. Doubling the sensor size made no difference for me. Have to say buying the camera re-kindled my enthusiasm, made me re-evaluate a lot of settings and recipies again. Now back on youtube for the first time in 6 months, checking out how different people set up their cameras. I'm a better judge of good and bad advice now. I've a 7400 shutter count in 15 days. Clearly a refresher for both the camera and me. Your x100V is still good.

My setup is similar but X-E4 with 18mm and XF10 which is 18.2mm fixed lens like the X70. I also have an old X-M1 with a 27mm just for the old sensor.

Excellent video, I loved your thoughts 😊

Very long time I search for Fuji X100V but unfortunately it’s sold out, finally I preordered Fuji X100VI the new one , I am waiting to receive it soon, I am sure both models are perfect for travel with compact camera with prime fix lens with amazing video, slow motion, time lapse,without forgetting awesome Fuji’s color 🤗

Allie, I really appreciate your videos. I am a Fujifilm shooter like yourself and we are big Disney fans as well. I did pick up a X100vi and wanted your opinion on an upcoming Disney trip. I am contemplating taking only the X100vi to an upcoming Disney trip during the Christmas Holiday however I have a bit of FOBO. I am wondering if i should bring my X-T5 with the 35mm F1.4 or 23mm F1.4 for low light nighttime Christmas lights portraits and or the 18-55. Too many options ! LOL I look forward to your response and hope you have a great day.

Oh man! I understand the struggle!! I took my x100v as well as my xt30ii with some lenses and if I’m honest I really only used my x100v for 98% of the photos. While I loved the photos I got out of my xt30ii, I don’t feel like I would’ve missed anything had I not had it with me. (Other than maybe high quality parade photos with a telephoto lens but I really only did those because a family member is in the parade) I found that it was so easy just having my x100v around my neck all day to get any shot I needed and was so quick to put away for rides. I also used a pro mist filter which I think really added to the Disney vibe of my photos. Now all that being said, I’m headed out west soon and even though I’m sure I’d be perfectly happy with just my x100v, I’m still bringing my xt30ii and some lenses 😅 that’s more of a rare trip for me so I want to be sure I have whatever I could want.

Also I think if I had to pick just one lens to bring on my xt30ii it would probably be my 35 f1.4 for portraits if needed.

Alot of what you asked for is provided by the x-s20. The xe4 could also be a good option too. The x100vi also has some quality of life features in the software. Agreed: we NEED a new x70!!

[@AllieBishopphoto]

I personally don’t like the xs20 so it wasn’t for me. I’m very happy with the size and style of the Fujis I have (definitely don’t want a larger grip or body in general) but it would be cool to see some of these features in future models that I’m interested in when I can upgrade. But I would absolutely love an x70 successor the most haha

@@AllieBishopphoto check out the half cases by Kaza Deluxe. On my xt3 and x100V it gives the right grip without adding crazy bulk, plus it protects.
