I'm NOT Buying the FUJI X100VI

[@ezgar714]

I predict you’ll post a video soon about how you were wrong, you caved, and you love your VI.

Topic: I WAS WRONG ABOUT THE X100VI

[@KanaievenTokyo]

I can't believe I just watched a video that did not need to be 12 minutes😭.

[@ImGerry]

That means she did a great video keeping your attention the entire time. You could close it at whatever time you wanted ;)

[@KanaievenTokyo]

@@ImGerry good one mate

[@robmowe8090]

And also commented?

[@nathonwhite]

So why did you watch it. Nobody made you 😂😂

[@Mi8odia]

​@@ImGerry Well, that is the difference between watching a video to make a point or a video to just catch your attention. Your comment is so disappointing, I always choose to watch a whole video because I want to be fair on my criticism. The fact he watches the whole video to have an outcome that means he is a good viewer.

[@JustZG]

They already updated the lens. The lens was updated on the x100v (it used to be alot worse). What needed to change was the battery. Still annoying have to carry an extra battery for everyday usage.

[@TechWandererYT]

I’ve never killed a battery in a day. What are you doing bro? 😅 but just take a USB-C power bank. Easy.

[@chrismcr]

So you’d rather have a much larger camera (to accommodate the X-T5 etc. battery) instead of just buying an extra battery to keep the camera compact?

[@JustZG]

@@chrismcr"much larger" is a stretch. The new batteries on fujis modern camera are barely that much bigger. believe it or not if there's a will theres a way. They said the same thing about IBIS making the camera huge and heavy-- guess what? modern engineering made it happen.

[@nathonwhite]

Exactly. That's her argument, as she has the v so she says why she isn't getting the vi with the same lens. 😂

[@Northside_rodger]

X-e1 work just perfect

[@AllieBishopphoto]

I am also hanging onto my x100v. I love it and use it every day but the new upgrades aren’t anything I need. I’m more interested in maybe a faster lens on a newer model down the road.

[@jwanger142]

40mp is so nice on this x100 with the new lens from the V. Reala Ace is so good. IBIS for handheld video clips is really good to stop the camera shake. FLog2 4:2:2 10bit makes for easy grading. Something about the way the x100 23f2 lens renders on this sensor look so good compared to my 100v. I’m all in. Wish it had a better battery.

[@Solangeaurelio]

I would love to know what you would recommend as a hybrid camera, compact enough to take great photos with, but also video for reels and social use? I have the big cameras Sony fx3, a7siii etc. that I typically use for studio or at home work, but I want something small enough for an everyday carry that I can shoot vlogs or content for social and possibly YT use as well. That is also great for photos and travel. I was considering the x100vi, but if you think the x100v is good enough for that type of content I would rather spend less and find it faster or another camera you may recommend for that type of content, I would love your opinion? Thank you!

[@TheKeithEds]

I got stuck in the hype and couldn’t find a 100v when I was looking for a daily carry, got impatient and bought an x-pro2, and it complements my x-t4 perfectly. For my needs it’s an exceptional camera, better then the x-pro3 and I’m glad I didnt wait for the 100v. It’s interesting to see how many people have bought the 100vi purely to try and make a quick buck by selling it on immediately - it’s just sad really!

[@-_ch40s_]

I think this hype is good for photography and its industry. When people like to take and make photos with real cameras intead of dump smartphones, I can applaud to Fujifilm.

[@alanpayne7656]

Was thinking the same thing today it’s good for the camera industry. Maybe kids aren’t upgrading their mobiles so much but getting cameras instead?

[@jsanc316]

Didn't know phones came with fake cameras and took fake photos. They have fooled so many people.

[@guillaumepannetier3398]

I found a second hand X100V at 1250€ with still 1 year warranty. I think I'll just cancel my X100VI pre-order :)

[@martinfay7274]

I will be upgrading, but my current model is an X100T so it'll be a substantial upgrade.

[@jimpap13]

I love how you folk just keep nit picking these cameras reality you missed the whole concept of using a masterpeice in a minimalist way creation with limitation, challenge yourself to take better photos and videos than your Sony because it not about blowing out the park its about how good you create.

[@wolfsheadphotographic2521]

I got to try one the other day & compared it to the previous model. It’s good but doesn’t warrant replacing the previous one.

[@snarkyguy]

I'm also keeping my X100v. I took it with me last month to Lisbon and really enjoyed using it there. No point in getting rid of something I really like.

[@brianduchateau]

I just wonder what hood u have on your Fuji

[@ChaseLancaster]

You made a great point. I don't think the VI is necessary for anyone with a V. I have been shooting on Sony for 8 years and I think it would be a great change for me since I don't leave the house with the A7 sometimes due to the size.

[@TacticalCactusMedia]

This is the exact reason I hope to eventually get my hands on the X100VI. I have an FX3 for video and an A7IV as a B cam and for photography, but I'd love an EDC camera that I can travel with and take along for times when I don't want my larger and heavier gear. I got to the pre order process way late though, so who knows, that may stay a pipe dream at this point.

[@ChaseLancaster]

@@TacticalCactusMedia Yeah I only preordered a couple days ago so we have each other haha

[@nothingtobeconcernedabout7477]

I think it makes sense if you have a x100v to think if you want to buy the VI. If you wanted a V but couldn't get one, then it makes more sense to get the VI.

[@trevordbrown_]

I'm interested in the X100VI because all of the X100V's i see are $1700-$2000 for decent condition and i just don't see that camera being worth that price.. especially now that the VI is out. I think people are trying to get money back that they overspent on the camera originally..

[@motorcycle-man]

Just dont be the one to fix those dumb decisions for them brother.

[@JPWineberg]

I'll stick with my Leica Q2! The aperture ring was the deal breaker with this series of cameras. I've shot Fuji for years and the X100T was my first. The aperture ring is too close to the body for me. I'm lucky enough to be in a time in my life where my passion for photography is more important than my ability to make money with it. The Q2 will be my fixed lens camera of choice for many years to come. The hype is crazy. Happy for Fujifilm and the camera industry as a whole.

[@Framesbyfrisby]

I am still in love with my Leica q1. Plus I already owned the 100v. And I still reach for my Leica more.

[@marcusineson]

Thank you right on the money with this. Such a relief from the ridiculous hype around the VI. I’m a `fuji shooter, I love them. I have a T and a V, love them BUT the hype around the VI is nauseating & sycophantic. For me IBIS is of no interest to me for my use case the only reason I can see it’s useful is because of the increased noise in low light of 40MP which you don’t get on the 26MP sensor. If I need that many pixels or even more I’d go full frame or medium format as 26MP seems to be a sweet spot for CSC’s. Video specs who is REALLY going to shoot video with this type of camera. Thanks Lizzie.

[@andycollins5983]

I absolutely love this video! I have an X100VI on back order (because I caved to the marketing I’m ashamed to say) and in the meantime I’m using my X100V. I’m considering canceling my order for the X100VI because as great a camera as it is, it seems to have become more of a hybrid stills/video camera, and I like the X100V because it is more of the digital version of the rangefinder film camera experience, which is why I like it. If I want IBIS and 40+ megapixels, I’ll use my X-T5. None of my Fujica rangefinders had IBIS or any of the modern aids, and I appreciate that my X100V is a digital version of these amazing cameras. We’ll see what happens. Thanks for a very thoughtful video.

[@GeoChild]

I hope Luna is ok! I’m glad you took the stool to the vet. Ask about getting Luna an x-ray too. Our cat had runny poops as well. We did the probiotics and antibacterials. It turned out our cat either had IBS or internal bleeding and she passed away from it soon after we figured out something was really wrong.

[@MikeLeePhoto]

Luv my X100F as i am a canon shooter normally

[@rickyzayshley9686]

Let's encourage creativity and discourage shaming, please :)

[@BobSimmonsPhoto]

I’ll just get a 23mm prime lens for my XT5

[@1gabhriel]

I sold a few of my lenses and brought the VI, if I had the v I would not bother upgrading yet so I agree with you but for me its nice to have a compact camera that I can carry around everywhere with me. I think you have made the right decision, wait for the next upgrade from the vi.

[@johnherzel718]

I'm also not upgrading. My X100-F (2 versions old now) is still a great camera, and I bought it used at an exceptionaly good price 6 months ago. It's pretty new to me, and I'm still learning how to use it. I actually love it. So paying that much more to upgrade an already excellent camera seems quite expensive for the incremental changes. That said I look forward to the VI being available on the used market when the VII comes out😂

[@21Virtues]

I am more looking toward not waiting and just getting the Nikon zf as a nostaligic one i dont have to wait on. I also have a sony 7rv, but the nikon seems to be a fuji on steroids.

[@Taso_Velis]

I preordered it at BH and I cancelled it and bought a used Sony a7r IV with 1k shutter count for $2K. If you compare both cameras it's not even close. Fuji is overhyped and not worth the money

[@hipabroad]

Finally can get the V, I really need an everyday camera and don't need all the spec from the VI, they are getting cheaper in the used market, let's see in 3 months time

[@ttown1376]

I chose to skip it too. Love the x100v still and I don't want more megapixels. The ONLY thing I care about is the few new film simulations. But all the other upgrades mean nothing to me for what I use it for

[@obalalama]

I love the square hood on yours! What is the square hood called? And thanks for the great review !!

[@LizziePeirce]

I think I literally just looked up square hood on amazon

[@wonderfulworldofty]

2024 quality lens? The lens was updated with V and resolves the new sensor fine. Interchangeable systems don’t get new lenses with each iteration

[@Wazhadnin-wj5te]

Why the hate on the video features?? It's been a hybrid since they added video features on the previous models. Are they supposed to just limit the video specs to the mark 5? It almost sounds like sour grapes when I see (non owners) of the mark 6 complaining about new video capabilities.

[@yellowdrangon]

I guess my question is....knowing that we all got really good camera's in our pockets already (Phones) What do you recommend for a good first timer point and shoot? Cuz I'm betting the 100VI is going to be a lot of people first "real" camera, I myself almost got swept up in the hype but slept on it and realized I kinda have a very good camera in my pocket regard less.

[@motorcycle-man]

Tl;dr, the upgraded features are not necessary, it is heavier and the lens hasn't been updated. Continue on your day everyone.

[@believethehype3992]

you can literally preorder the vi, wait the months to get it and then sell your V for msrp. its an even trade basically.

[@babycute2214]

Why ?? What should we buy sony no way stick to fuji only

[@marcosv8426]

This is a good therapy video for those who own a X100V and can't get a X100VI anytime soon. I personally concur with most of the points made. I own a X100S and now X100VI. If I had a X100V I would not upgrade to the X100VI; the V already captures all the fun of owning a 23mm fixed lens camera that is just small enough to be more portable. On the other hand, if I wasn't able to get a X100VI, I would not be buying a X100V instead --- I love IBIS and do own a X-Pro2 and X-H2 already. So the X100VI is really just a noustalga trip to me to the X100S which was my gateway drug for leaving Canon DSLRs.

[@DeRose05]

What kind of lens hood and strap is on your x100v? Just curious.

[@ChristianWildeD]

It was a toss up for me between the V and the VI. I think the 40MP sensor is a step forward and backwards at the same time. Usually 26MP should be more than enough, but there will be that few time I actually wanna crop. Also IBIS is a nice addition and better AF is always welcome. That combined with the V only being available used brought me to pre-order a VI. Which will be arriving in a few weeks, with some luck, since I didn't order the exact minute pre-orders went live... The hype is kinda bonkers, not gonna lie.

[@Andrea-oo8dt]

Hi Lizzie, thank you for this great video! When I was watching the video, I was wondering whether you have a black mist filter on your lens?

[@babycute2214]

Tell us what should we buy GFX 100

[@abregadoatseri4974]

Your video quality looks so great, if you don't mind me asking what lens are you using in this video?

[@ivorj4715]

I have an x-t1 and an x-h1 I just don't have the need for a fixed lens camera ( I can put a prime on either of those).

[@TheVFXbyArt]

11:02 Yeah, 2020 lens…glass doesn’t get updated as often as cameras. Fuji roadmap spans years. You think they didn’t plan for higher sensors back in 2020?

[@gauihpic]

Thanks for fisxing the squarehood... was driving me nutz haha!!

[@AlexPresa]

What camera strap is that?

[@Anonymous__________]

excelent video but i think the black mist filter you have on is too harsh

[@RicohGRIIIx]

I won't buy the X100VI cuz I own the X-T5 with same specs and more lenses. But I'll think about the X-E5 or X-Pro4 if specs are different, or think about the new Ricoh GR!

[@paulzamora4864]

Honestly with the bumper up video specs you can shoot beautiful photos and videos to create postcards in Instagram because everything is stabilized. But i bought the XT4 I need more battery life

[@TexasPelican]

I have the V and it's plenty for my needs. Hope Luna feels better soon.

[@rhowenbelisario5780]

I love how you are crediting photos in the video.

[@jeanvanlaer9901]

I have a X-E2 with the 27 mm 2,8 R WR and it's perfect !

[@heroicmonkey714]

Though, it’s kind of exciting isn’t it? Maybe with more cameras like the x100vi, there’ll be enough sales in cameras to keep the industry afloat

[@adden2242]

Most of us Filipinos are NOT talking about that cam..thats not in our bucket list 😅🥲😁 oh btw you Dont need to upgrade just bekuz a new model came out.

[@gurugamer8632]

Are Leica M film cameras full frame? I’m confused as they don’t have a sensor. How does it compare to X100VI ? Which has more full frame?

[@jg_jgjg]

i dont think youre ready for a leica bud.

[@MKNYC_]

Oh yea I’m hyped to get the X100V now that pricing isn’t gonna be terrible.

[@pepetrueno8722]

Why not the X-T5 essentially the same camera but now you can use the lenses that you want

[@TechWandererYT]

The thing is that the X100V sells for about the price of the X100IV so it’s a free or very cheap upgrade. Subject to where you live and the local supply of course. But it was for me.

[@gurugamer8632]

What’s the purpose of this video? If you don’t want it no need to cause a rent on the internet. You have looking for likes by chatting crap.

[@Skidoo22]

Soft sunstars, slow lens, cropped everything, trashy simulations. No thanks

[@gospyder]

The wait could be upto 3 years

[@peterkelly8357]

next weeks video.. why I bought the Fuji X100vi

[@cleomaddiem3581]

Can l please, please ask what lens hood you have here on the X100VI ??

[@johnkendall5025]

I cancelled my pre-order for an X100VI. I decided I had been carried away by the hype and might be too old to take images when it finally arrived . After watching numerous KZbin previews I decided that I wasn't taken in by all the excitement. I don't or rarely shoot video. I do street photography. Right now my street/travel camera is an older Canon EOS M5. Yes, Fuji has more resolution, faster autofocus, film simulations, better image stabilization etc. But, the Canon has interchangeable lenses. I have the 22mm prime lens so I can shoot that focal length if I want to. If I don't want to, I have a selection of other lenses. A final point, at 40MP the Fuji sensor has more resolution than the Canon. However, the Fuji's internal 50 and 70mm crop reduces that to as little as 10MP. With the Canon lenses I get the 24MP resolution no matter what focal length I choose.

[@PhillipSkraba]

I wouldn’t buy it either, it’s just another tool, the one you have is just as good no doubt.

[@imboredDB]

Im not either at that price😂

[@joshk2294]

I still prefer my X100V because it has just the right amount of megapixels for what it does best (daily carry camera). And the upgrades in the VI, in my opinion, are half-baked. It's as if Fujifilm is deliberately leaving space to launch a perfect camera in future versions.

[@alanpayne7656]

I’m not changing my x70 until I know what I’m doing and I’m taking consistently good pictures.

[@MartinWongPhoto]

Did you shoot this with a pro mist filter?

[@ShalevAbuhatzeira]

Where is this hood and filter from? :]

[@nerucheung]

Fuji is known to put the same sensor and tech in every generation of their cameras, X100vi has 95% of the features of their flagship APSC camera

… it’s ok not to buy it. But we don‘t need 12 minutes to let us know. These clickbait thing is really annoying.
