Why I bought an X100T instead of an X100V | Fuji Street Photo VLOG

[@impatrickt]

i love old cameras.

[@inquisitvem6723]

The price is almost $1000 now…why did it go up? It can’t be because of supply chain since they don’t make these anymore. Crazy

[@MarkHoltze]

A Fujifilm walkabout, love it dude. I think it’s safe to say there’s a third option in between the film and digital experience - the Fujifilm experience.

[@impatrickt]

Mark Holtze absolutely!

[@Ghost_Electricity]

As an 100T owner, I've often wondered if something happened to mine, would I replace it with a later version, but I don't think I would. It's got all the essentials I care about, yet keeps certain "antiquated" features I prefer. I would rather not have a touch screen like the later models (I want my camera to feel as much like a camera and as little like a phone as possible) and the 16mp files are the perfect size. Fuji files are already enormous and slow to work with on my computer in post production, so the larger files are not necessarily better for me. The X100T really is the sweet spot.

[@ianyin3175]

I have almost exactly same thoughts with you, buddy

[@cassysamel3914]

Sold my X100T when I lost motivation in photography 6 years ago. Now I'm picking one up again. Could've went with later and greater models this time around, but looking back, this camera was more about the experience than the tech or image quality.

[@johnjon1823]

Although I only have the original x100, personally I would prefer the touch screen and the way it folds out. As a tall person waist level shooting is preferred for a couple of reasons: angle of view is more to my liking, and it is more stealthy. There is NO way I can raise a camera to my eye without drawing even more attention to myself. It is odd how people pop off all kinds of smart phone images and nobody cares, bring a camera and you are noticed. Even several years ago in a tourist area I was in, anyone with a camera stood out, smart phones one and all, just blended in.

[@notbatman1001]

I haven't had as much enjoyment as I've had with the X100T since shooting film on my Yashica TLR. Prime lens/shoe-leather zoom.

[@mikaholzfeld6970]

I also bought a X100T recently. For pictures of my family. And after a few days playing around with it, I’m absolutely in love with this camera. The pictures just look amazing and the handling is a dream. Never had this much satisfaction with a camera before. And I had a lot...

[@impatrickt]

Great to hear!

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Love it, man. I need to get over the insecurity of walking around town taking pictures or filming.

[@impatrickt]

This is Tech Today yeah you gotta realize nobody cares!

[@albedo0point39]

This is Tech Today I find it makes a massive difference if you actually have a purpose. Enter a competition or something like that, to give you a justification for taking those photos. You’ll focus on that and forget about nervousness.

[@darkfungang]

I had the original x100 for about 4-5 years as my very first serious camera and sold it in 2020. I regretted it so much, it made some of my very best images. I have an xt3 now and today i am picking up an x100t from offerup to partner with it. Cannot wait to hold one of these beauties again 🥰

[@darrenjbarker]

I haven't been able to get the X100V out of my head due to seeing it everywhere online, but for someone who is new to Fujifilm camera's and the cost as well of the X100V...maybe the X100T is the perfect option for me. Thanks for your help!

[@VirtualS0lution]

I am still rocking the original x100 since the day it came out. There is no other camera that was this long by my side, the look, the feel and as you say all the things that are bad about it make the experience with that little beast

[@NickShaw12]

I have several friends with X100T's that they love. I love my X100F, which was also pricey when I got it. Definitely agree that the X100T is solid for what the majority would need! Fantastic camera for the price

[@impatrickt]

cheers nick!

[@benjhaisch]

Is it weird that I’m almost more impressed with how smooth that action cam footage was?

[@impatrickt]

Osmo action is so good.

[@benjhaisch]

Also that whole X100 line is brilliant. I still need to pick one up again. Used the original as my sole personal camera for years.

[@impatrickt]

Benj Haisch yeah man I’m sad you didn’t keep it though!

[@stoffi]

Patrick, keep posting! It's obvious that you're a smart dude and I was totally engaged during the whole vid - although I had a lot of distractions around me. This is gonna work out for you if you keep it up, man. Nice shots too!

[@impatrickt]

stoffi thanks for the kind words and encouragement! means a lot.

[@carlosa.schwartz507]

I´ve had an X100T for about three years and I have been thinking if it would be convenient to change it for the new X100V. Now, thanks to Patrick, I´ll stay as I am! Thanks for the advice.

[@impatrickt]

Cheers!

[@VijitChandna]

I'm a gen z guy but boi I love old tech! It's crazy too see how far we've come

[@impatrickt]

yes! digital cameras are becoming just as interesting as old film cameras. the retro tech provides some really interesting looks and shooting experiences.

[@edblunderfield1784]

Awesome. Thanks for this! Re-inspired me to go spend more time shooting with my X100T.

[@iggyGOGO1]

i got my x100f for $600 about a month and im in all kinds of love

[@jake9bates]

I’d love to find an x100f for $600 right now. It’s bad enough that the 100v is out of stock everywhere and price gouged on eBay. But all of the other x100 models are also way overpriced right now. A used x100f on adorama costs as much as a brand new x100v retails for 😡🤯

[@iggyGOGO1]

[@twessels]

Hey, I'm actually trying out a X100T on friday. I love your way of walking around with the camera on your neck filming and shooting.

[@impatrickt]

enjoy it!

[@Jparkss]

I just got the x100s yesterday in the mail, such a great camera even with an outdated system it’s still fast for my needs. I love the triangle exposure rule with the camera, giving me a more old film camera style which forces me to practice manual more and more now.

[@XiaoyuChen-j6r]

My question is where to buy a 500 $ Fujifilmx100T?

[@sedegg]

Same )

[@thisischarlietrotter]

Love these photos!

[@MikeLikesChannel]

I have my late dad's OG X100 in black paint, apparently it's a limited edition. He took tens of thousands of mostly family photos with it, at a time before smartphones reigned supreme. I shoot it in monochrome-R with a 20% cinebloom using only the OVF. Like my dad in life, it’s stubborn but reliable, charming -- but often fussy. The sum is greater than its parts. Legendary camera that started it all. Don't get me wrong, I love my X100V and my 100S for modern creature comforts and explosively high resolution, but the OG X100 is part of why those later cameras even exist.

[@elsaleemenna]

I just bought the Fuji XE3.. After watch this video i think i will buy another fuji in the future and it's definitely the X100T

[@moncho33]

Love the honesty about the laziness man! The X100T is a great camera. I really enjoy using mine. The reason I purchased it was basically because of wifi transfer and classic chrome. Paid a little over $500 for mine but it was in mint condition, and had 2 extra Fujifilm batteries.

[@impatrickt]

Ramon W Borges yeah they keep going up in price too! Glad you got in early!

[@georgesealy4706]

I have a X100T. It's a great camera and I have no plans to upgrade to the later versions. I bought it for street shooting and to have with me most of the time. It shoots great 16MP photos.

[@Emiliotakas]

[@KevinVDoan]

I’ve been using a used Fuji X100S with the teleconverter lens adaptor since 2018 on all my portrait client work (mainly musicians) and everyone loves the results! The X trans II sensor is absolutely the best. Thinking about upgrading to the X100T recently. Thanks for the great vid!

[@impatrickt]

Kevin Vinh Doan yeah that’s awesome!

[@duschbrauser]

Oh boy, I just bought this camera because of this video. I never ever had so much fun with a camera. And the image quality is insane. Thank you so much 🤘🏼

[@finnsbeats7183]

How’s the video quality?

[@RonaldBrown59]

I've heard good things about the X100 Fugi's, but never had a chance to try one out yet. Great video, and thanks for sharing.

[@erjennin]

I love my V. It really is the best camera I ever used. And oddly enough, I like my X-T2 slightly better than the X-T3 I had due to small ergo differences.

[@impatrickt]

Eric Jennings my gripe with the V which i didn’t even mention in this video because it’s totally a personal thing but the V is basically a fixed lens XT3/4 - it loses all the charm IMO that the older models offer. i also just don’t jam with that new little joystick thing. when the V is $500 like a T i will grab it. hahah.

[@fernwehtwl]

why do you like Xt2 more than t3? just curious! i own the xt2 for 4 years now and i regret that i didnt' wait for 1 month until xt3 came out and bought that camera instead

I own an XH1 and the X100T, and the X100T is just so much fun to shoot with. I just love the feel of it and the images are great. Yes, autofocus is not the fastest in the world, but I shoot a lot of images of children in my family and it is enough.

[@powerforward1955]

Really like the on-the-street session. I’m learning to do street photography...wish I had a mentor actually with me on the street taking photos. My eye for shots is getting better-often surprising me. I want to try a range-finder like the X-100S or X-100T. Stay safe.

as someone who have the X100T and daily driving it for the past 5 years. I would like thank you for this video. I still love my X100T so much but it does needs a bit of an upgrade for lower light conditions. that being said. i still think the X100V's prices these days are waaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced and who knows when the prices will drop down to an acceptable level.

great vid! very helpful for my buying decision making!

[@JoeLopez]

I loved my X100, I sold it for my X100T. You’ve exaggerated the slowness and how ‘bad’ the X100 is. I carried a small cable to quickly upload pics from my SD card straight to my phone and the Auto Focus wasn’t quite as bad as you’ve stated. Still a great camera, especially at the price point you mentioned.

[@impatrickt]

I'm sure it's subjective but if you compare it any modern camera of the last 5 years... the X100 is very very slow. Any of my shooter friends I show it too basically laugh that I can even use it. I try to set a low expectation now because of the majority of people's lack of patience!

[@moritzreimann8621]

Damn I think you just talked me into buying a 100t :D I was looking for a new compact camera and stumbled upon the 100v in a video. But for me personally these really new cameras always have kind of a weird artificial touch to them. I'm not sure if it's a question of the settings, but the pictures you took in the video looked way more natural/clear than the ones I saw from a 100v. So this might be just the perfect mix between a modern digital camera and the feeling/advantage of an old analog one. Also great video in general, nice and short but really informative and some good way to show the camera at work. So thanks a lot!

​@@impatrickt Where are you basing your price comparisons? The x100T has been selling for around $900-1050CAD for many many years and continues to hold its value.
