[@Roy.story.4]

In the age of instagram reels, tik tok, youtube, AI, photographers really dont get enough appreciation. This camera is for the under appreciated.

[@YounanPhoto]

Ironically it’s hyped because of TikTok and the reels lol

[@spektrograf]

I'm happy for anyone out there that's loving their X100V. I'm in 100% agreement with Pierre's last sentiment though. You're not missing out if you have a camera in your hands and you're out there working your skills. I also get that a lot that swirls around the X100V hype is around the feels-which is great, but it's a luxury for many people. For those people who are wringing their hands and feeling that FOMO-you're good. Shoot with what you have, and go make awesome photos. ❤💪

[@pinpin614]

I have an x100v and it is by far my favourite camera. The images are beautiful, the process is fun, the camera is unobtrusive and it inspires me to take photos. I use it for 90% of my photography and wouldn't sell it for double, triple , quadruple its market value. It is my favourite.

[@RobertFalconer1967]

Agree. There are some UK photographers on KZbin doing wonderful street photography with the X100V. It's very capable in the right hands, and for specific types of work. David Hobby and Zack Arias figured that out 12 years ago with the original X100.

[@harshitophoto]

I have it too, it's really a thing that one can cherish

[@shadowboxer2747]

I am contemplating to sell mine but i just love using x100v so much and its pretty to look at.. and i just bought used nikon fm2 because it looks classic to me even i have never tried film camera and film + film processing lab is very hard to find and expensive in my country 😢

[@doctornebula]

LOVE my x100v. So glad I bought this a couple of years ago and wouldn't sell it even if I could get twice what I paid for it. Compact with a sharp lens, super cool film simulations, built-in ND filter, flash, and leaf shutter. Perfect for me.

[@HighTechCinnamon]

Recently picked up an X100T that was basically new, I am in love. I'm a very casual photographer, it's easy to use and I'm learning so much from using it. Very fun!

[@benjaminbjacobsen]

For me it's about making photography fun when I'm not working with my camera. I shoot an a7riv for work and don't want to drag it around with me if I'm not getting paid. So a smaller camera is key for me for fun/daily shooting. Fujis are great because their color science and film simulations mean I can shoot JPEG and not process. For 5 years now it's been my a7riv or my phone. I'm diving back into small pocketable options so I have a "real camera" when I'm out and about. The X70/XF10 are another one to check out if you're going to look at the ricoh GRiii as well. Same lens basically but fuji's versions (slower AF, better battery life).

[@CheckeredFlagPodcast]

5:33 you all hit the nail on the head; when I was shooting a lot, I didnt want to take out my Sony gear because it felt like a chore, was huge and reminded me of my gigs. I went to Fuji for casual stuff and never looked back.

[@txaggie99]

I’ve had all the X100 series including the V. It’s great, but I get just as much enjoyment out of my X-T30 with the 23 f/2. Worse viewfinder, no leaf shutter, but better focus. Either way it is great to have a daily fun camera to use. I keep my X-T30/23mm the same usually, so I don’t have to worry about what lens to use. But occasionally switching it out for the excellent XF35 f/2 lens is a really nice option.

[@Jahman182]

I own a Fuji X100V and love it. I also own a Sony A7iii and two RX100s an IV and V but always grab the Fuji because of the easier after-photo process thanks to excellent jpegs along with the onboard film simulations. I just don't always have the time to sit in front of a computer to edit my photos and the X100v helps me avoid doing that.

[@heroicmonkey714]

Yes!!! I’ve been waiting for your take on this!!!!

[@suicidalkatt]

I picked up the Canon M6 Mark II just recently and I'm really loving the compact run around interchangeable lens options it has. The optional EVF and decent video and focus system. 32.5 MP sensor does wonders.

[@imjooboy]

I loved the Canon M system cameras. I had the M100, M6 and M6 Mk II. I only used the 22mmF/2.0 on them. They are great portable cameras. I only stopped using them because I got the Leica Q2. But I might use them for video in the future.

[@Nerdhaunt]

I bought the XE-4 a few months back because I couldn't find the 100V anywhere else. There's something about these rangefinder-style Fuji cameras that you can't describe in words. You have to try it out for yourself, and let me tell you, you will always want to pick it up. It has been a part of my daily carry since the day I bought it. No regrets and no buyer's remorse at all.

[@mapakern3979]

Have fun with hte X-E4. I have one too and it is just amazing and really fun to use. I always was intrigued by the x100v, but the X-E4 ist way more versatile with interchangeable lenses which I appreciate a lot.

[@AiSavvy]

@@mapakern3979 I wish fuji add nd filters in x-e4 as well, because of the ability to put fast lenses on top of it.

[@brankobelfranin8815]

Get a leica then

[@paulomateusguerra]

I have a x100v. I thought about selling cuz I just use it for casual and street photography, however, it’s so satisfying to have a camera that I can trust and it fits in my pocket that I never came to sell it. Every time I think about getting a full frame I remember how big and heavy they are compared to the x100v.

[@TerraThink]

They are bigger, but there are some small full frame ones like Canon RP with the RF 28mm f2.8 pancake lens :)

[@MuhammadKharismawan]

I have my RX1R and RX100 exactly for that reason, I do plan to get an xperia V for even smaller package in the future.

[@PhotoGearFun]

This is a great little camera but for me I bought an XE-3 and 27mm f/2.8 lens and I am so happy with it. The experience is similar at a fraction of the cost and interchangeable lenses but is still pocketable. I don't even know if you can find the XE-3 these days but if you can it's a great little camera.

[@RoderickJMacdonald]

Good for you. Who cares about what other people think? Many of the review channels on KZbin are just gossip about gear.

[@_Forever555]

I still use the XE2

[@Scottwoolley_]

X100V made me fall in love with film recipies so sold it for the Contax T2 - more affordable, more accessible and that film look

[@jakeohare913]

I had the x100f for a year and a half and also shot some with the x100v. While I really enjoyed that camera, and the x100v definitely improves on the focus, flash and lens, I realized I found the same enjoyment shooting on film, and I'd rather have a smaller xf mount Fuji for a digital camera. Also didn't mind selling for a pretty penny quite a bit more than what I bought it for 😜 Don't need it all in one camera body there's definitely overhype.

[@jorgeu111]

I get a similar feeling when using point and shoot film cameras. The casual feeling its something else. These days I have a great time with the Olympus XA2. Its very compact so you can pocket it and really daily carry it. I think this x100v is still too bulky and delicate. The XA2 has a cover for the lens and it doesn't stick out so you can be confident in throwing it in a pocket or bag and won't get damaged by other items. Maybe they can do a new version with the capability to cover all sensitive surfaces.

[@Lethorio]

An X-E3 or X-E4 with a 27mm f/2.8 is will get you a similar feel for a cheaper price if you're willing to have a slightly different focal length/maximum aperture and forego the buit in ND filter.

[@D_R_Martin]

I got a little Samsung point and shoot for $25 that truly fits in a pocket. It's not spectacular, but it gets me out taking pictures, and it doesn't do too bad with a 16 mp sensor and a decent LCD screen. I take it out and use it more to test photos before breaking out a film camera or the Sony a7ii (or Olympus or Canon). I enjoy having a variety of different cameras to play with. Makes life more interesting. I definitely have enjoyed getting out more and more lately as real life gets more stressful. Anyway, I agree with all of what both of you said here. I would love one of these cameras, but I won't use that as an excuse to not get out and shoot.

[@marcelkressner]

i tried the original X100 i liked it, but i missed the possibility to swap Lenses so my go to Cam for everyday carry would be the X-E4 with the 27mm F2.8 Lense tried this too and loved it + i can swap Lenses if i want to

[@bernardoa.9780]

Main subject here is the experience in my opinion. Love shooting the X100S, even having much better and expensive cameras...always take it for a walk!

[@babyboy1971]

I love my X100V, and I’m glad I snagged it when it was released.

[@alfredovitenteiii3612]

I preordered the X100V, not thinking it would be such a hyped camera. I love it, but my favorite everyday shooter is still my GR II. Super sharp lens and truly pocketable.

[@markgenhem9600]

Agree! I have a gr3 and x100v and use the gr3 much more than the fuji. The fuji is actually juat my bulkier weather sealed carry now haha.

[@frankhu8692]

awful reliability+ weird cluncky 2 step bottom control manul focus mechanism，I rather enjoy my ovf and focus ring

[@frankhu8692]

​@@markgenhem9600it's for different shooters, I hate the cluncky manual focus mechanism of GR, and sometimes I have battery contact issues, resulting in lens stuck/system stuck. I rather enjoy my ovf+ manual aputue and focus ring on x100v

[@frankhu8692]

​@@markgenhem9600x100v's shooting experience is really close to a real film camera，gr is a tiny cramped digital mirrorless

[@alfredovitenteiii3612]

@@frankhu8692 I primarily shoot my GRII using snap focus. I only use autofocus or manual focus for stationery subjects. Shooting with my GRII feels a lot like shooting with any film compact point and shoot. Perfect for “snapshot” style photography, which is why many street photographers have liked the GR line of cameras since the film days. I still like the physical dials and switches of my X100V, but the GR is still my favorite overall camera, since it fits the style of photography that I enjoy doing the most. It’s also small enough to fit easily in my jacket pocket.

[@A1000Truths]

This camera and the Ricoh Gr iii are my two go to casual cameras.

[@mercerna]

I find this little camera quite appealing. I don't do photography for a living, but I do shoot almost every weekend on my X-T5. It's nice, but during weekdays I still want to carry it but usually end up leaving it home - it's a bit too big. If I had some spare cash sitting around I would go for an X100V or an XPro4 when that one comes out (and use it with a smaller lens like the 27mm). I edited my photos for a while, but then I just got over it and realized I don't need to edit every photo I take, and that a lot of them are good "as is" right out of camera. Imperfections also often give the photos some character or flavor. I also don't like shooting on my phone, I prefer it stay in my pocket most of the time.

[@IshwaraYogaNET]

I carry the XT1 and Fuji 23mm F2. I love this combination. For street and portrait. I do wish there was a pancake lens that could make it feel slim like my old x100 finepix. I am tempted t opt back into the x100 line up . Looking into things. I enjoyed this video.

[@lolkebergsma7105]

I own a x100f and I love it! No need to upgrade to the x100v. I really hope that Fujifilm recreate a tx1/xpan for digital. A half GX sensor in a x-pro body, with a fixed lens, a 30mm-ish lens... I keep on dreaming...

[@kanaheiusagi]

In terms of JPEG workflow, comparing photos side by side shot on my a7IV (SH colour profile) and XT5 (classic chrome), I like the colours coming out of the Sony a lot more, and Sony's JPEG also seem to be easier to edit with iPhone's default app.

[@damianwojcikiewicz3951]

Why is easier?

[@Old_Man_Jay]

if that's your take then you're definitely not using Fuji the to fullest extent. experiment with Fuji's film recipes and you will most definitely get better jpgs SOC every single time. I mean, that's exactly why there's so much hype around the x100v.

[@followtheboat]

I suspect Sony JPGs will be easier to edit because they'll have greater dynamic range, what with the A7IV being a full-frame camera.

[@alexr1198]

I am glad I bought the X-T30 ii. It is a similar setup but it can be used with different lenses. It is over half of the price too

[@adewalearegbesola7917]

Been considering this camera and jumping ship from my Lumix Gx9. Thoughts on this compared to the gx9?

[@ChacoOutdoorsman]

I have the X100T and love it, i also have the XT10 and i can slap a prime lens on it with whatever focal length i want to play that day and also love it but for compactness and limitations to force you to think differently about composition i love the X100 series. The only thing im missing in the older models is not so much autofocus but the tilt screen and the closeup sharpness, but for those occasions i can just grab the. XT10 with whatever lens combination and im set. But I would not pay more than the official price for the X100V instead I would invest that extra money in some good glass for an interchangeable lens camera.

[@collodionpositive554]

I picked up one of these the same week the X-T4 came out and then returned the X100V to Amazon as I couldn't justify keeping both. Wish I had just kept hold of it

[@WahidFayumzadah]

Had the x100f for some time. It just felt so much slower than my other full frame camera's... kinda really prefered the speed. So I sold the x100f, the magic didn't get me.

[@sergiipuchkov]

Can someone tell me, please, how to record video on the x100v? I set the video mode and I can't change the aperture value, shutter speed and ISO(( I have tried everything and do not understand what is wrong(( Please help🙏

[@sjmedia_official]

want one, Fuji simulations are great and not having to spend hours editing is great + built in ND makes it a winner

[@robinbhairam7508]

Have the x100v and the GR3 love them both and they come everywhere with me!! 😊

[@andysmith8031]

It's funny watching everyone make videos about this camera in the last year. I have a sliver x100v. I barely use it to be honest, but it is a great little camera. I've had it nearly two years and bought it before the hype. Kind of makes me want to sell it now everyone has one or wants one.

[@bill3117]

I wonder what the price of the next version's price will do to lower the inflated price of the current model? Hopefully the new version will drop the price of the now older version to more normal levels.

[@timrosenthal46]

I love mine and I am so glad I got it before all the hype .. Got mine on sale for $1600 AUD as well.

[@alonsomenji]

Less people know about the Fuji x70 w x-transensor ii. It’s an amazing compact camera that produces beautiful color and nice contrast. I’ll might get the next x100 in the series coming in the future. I have no need for the “v” right now.

[@followtheboat]

People do know about the X70. Have you seen them prices of them lately?!

[@gohumberto]

X100V and Classic Neg simulation produces magical images. The mundane becomes interesting. You find yourself taking photos of traffic lights, road signs ... everything.

[@salmonsmoothie]

Ricoh GR II is an APS-C camera that fits in your pocket with your phone and keys. If you can live without a viewfinder (actually quite liberating in my opinion), it's equal to the X100V at less than half the price. The X100V isn't small enough to fit in a pocket and bring everywhere, so that kind of defeats the purpose of having a slim form factor.

[@ASiqueira1973]

agree. i have a gr ii and a x100f and most of the time i am using the gr ii because it really fits in the pocket.

[@Nevpaurion7]

@@ASiqueira1973 Apples and Oranges. They're not the same. X100v opens up to F2 and has a better lens at 35mm full frame equivalent. GRii is 28mm FF equivalent, lesser lens, and F2.8 with no view finder. They're not in the same class.

[@Eatmeraw]

​@@Nevpaurion7 They are definitely in the same class but with different target audiences in mind, both were made to be enthusiast compact cameras. I've both the x100v and a GRIII and if u want to talk about the 35mm lens opening up to F2, in low light the IBIS on the GR easily compensates the 1 extra stop of light the 35 mm F2 offers. Lens on that 28mm is also really sharp. That said, I'll always use my mirrorless FF setups in demanding situations.

[@Stan_the_Belgian]

Is an xt3 with a 23mm prime not very similar in size and performance?

[@lueniopue2488]

I have the x100f and don’t feel the need to upgrade. Instead I buy the ricoh gr iii and i am really satisfied. I enjoy a lot the positive film simulation. I also have the xf10 even slimmer than x100 series. And I love it. This camera and this system is for casual photography, and no post processing. You just enjoy the thing and publish strait away.

[@Sven_15.09]

The hype is real!!! Like trying to buy tickets for a U2 concert in the Sphere in Las Vegas from Ticketmaster.

[@KSR6S]

I had my Sony A7Riii for 3 years and only took 3.000 photos. I own a x100v since august 2022 and already managed to capture 10.000 photos. I think it speaks for the camera :D

[@abe-love]

I still regret buying one in June 2020 and returning cause I thought it was getting too warm (I was over reacting), and thought I’ll just buy it again later. It’s been 3 years and still waiting for the opportunity haha. Had the x100f, love these cameras for street photography.

[@justin_704]

never tried the x series, but i can say that i am currently using a pentax q right now. I feel that it is the photographer and not the camera. My photos are rarely ever edited or retouched unless I am using them for design work. I feel that having a good understanding of lighting and composition are the 2 most important things. Everything else is secondary.

[@flathead950]

Could someone explain to me what he meant at 1:37 "I got buit in ND filter which is great for quick exposure... auto iso...". I know what ND filter is, just don't understand what he meant. Many thanks.

[@robinbhairam7508]

It has a built in ND feature like the GRiii.

[@RookieRay]

I like how you can see the filter through the view finder

I have the Fujifilm xf10, and it's a pleasure to take pictures with it. It's not the X100V built quality, but the images are great, and it's so small I take it everywhere. By the way, I bought it second hand 220 $

[@racingmaniacgt1]

I bought a A7IV recently and I very much enjoy using it, but I am constantly trying to get a tiny prime with it so I can carry it easily, but it's still a bulky setup. Coming from DSLR form factor I was expecting mirrorless to be smaller but honestly not that different. Images look great though. But I also love shooting with my RX100IV, its so small, so pocketable, and still produces great shots even if its just a 1" sensor.

[@tinchin714]

[@racingmaniacgt1]

@@tinchin714 I have it, its one of my favorite, but its still "not small" I did consider A7C but I wanted the newer AF setup so I end up with the A7IV. Rokinon/Samyang 35 F2.8 is even smaller, though not weather sealed...

[@albertxion513]

This is why I still stick to M4/3 or premium compacts. The lenses for full frame are just big no matter what.

[@phamman12]

Honestly i find the x100v on the used market every few weeks for around $900 and was happy i waited for a Ricoh gr iii and go that for $500 and it's more pocketable. Gotta love the 2nd hand savings.

[@tristansteele5054]

In Canada the regular sells for $1000 and I found one used for $550 should I do it?

[@jimnicol2656]

What filter do you have on the lens???

[@yellowwducky]

I just received one from Adorama after 5.5 months on a waitlist. My first impressions are its a very solid little brick of a camera and I like the control knobs. The UI is a bit clunky and anything trying to be wireless on the software side feels like Windows 95 called. I got it for the controls and a bigger sensor than on my Sony RX100 v1 which has a similar aperture (1/3rd faster) but also has zoom. I will say, as far as pocketable goes and bang for the sensor buck, to be honest, the Sony RX100 v1 blows the x100v out of the water. No, it doesn't have retro control knobs or filters in camera but its miniscule in comparison and shoots raw and has every control possible just not with cool looking knobs. I am sure I will get some great photos out of the x100v but I do think it is well overhyped (what I liked was the relative fast aperture, weather sealed (ish) with a filter, the built in nd filter could be nice, the controls and maybe the bigger sensor is better in low light). The video on it is, without IS, terrible frankly.

[@justinnunez176]

What's the red ring around the lens?

[@cyrilgarcia2485]

This is why I enjoy the Ricoh GR iii.... It's literally the most pocketable camera other than your phone.

[@eddyj3027]

Amazing video. I have been thinking about buying this cam but then I thought why wouldn’t I buy a Sony a7C with a 24mm f2.5 G lens… light compact and I always have an option to get a new lens if needed. If 35 mm lens was morethan enough I don’t think Fuji wouldn’t have introduced a 50mm tele Converter for this cam.

[@inkermoy]

I just did a hike through Zion National Park a few weeks ago and was disappointed that my Panasonic compact didn't have as wide an angle as my LG phone! The pics from the phone just look compressed I don't even know if they'd survive being enlarged for framing. I just started looking for a new compact to have better and wider angle photos. I'd like to stick to compacts and the X100 V seems like a nice compromise. After watching your video I can understand why it's so sought after and out of stock.

[@BeZRules]

It’s beautiful camera its sold for 1400 usd new in my local fuji store and its in stock now

[@krolldavid]

I used to have a x100v and sold it for basically the same price before the hype went crazy. I liked the size, focal length and sharpness but I still felt like the images looked quite clinical/digital. I know that goes against popular opinion. The images just didn’t quite do it for me. So far I haven’t regretted selling it. I have other fun small cameras I use instead which I prefer: Fuji x-e2, Ricoh grii and a Leica cl.

[@25thpyroo]

I'm interest on the Leica cl, what's ur opinion on this camera ?

[@krolldavid]

@@25thpyroo I love it. I have it with me every day now, usually with the 23mm lens. But it’s quite a bit more expensive together with a lens. The 18mm lens on it is also excellent by the way, I just usually prefer the 23mm field of view. Of course, there is no successor for any L mount apsc cameras at the moment. Having said that, I think the lenses could be still used on full frame bodies in the future like the sigma fp line. The CL is not perfect but I prefer it to the x100v. I prefer the feel of the photos and also colours, even just the way they come through with the adobe colour raw profile. I can’t see myself ever selling it. Oh, one downside with the CL is that you cannot connect it to your computer to use as a webcam for example.

[@arturgajewskiphotog]

I had X100V but sold it and later purchased X-T30 II because I wanted to have the freedom to change lenses as I need. Other than that, I liked X100V.

Love the V - it's the camera that's in my bag all the time. Same reasons - easy to carry, love the ND filter and the pics that come out. Very similar to the XE2 I have, which I could argue has even better colours (older sensor). A XE4 with the 18 or 27 pancake will be a great alternative if you can't afford/find the V.

I had it as all x100 Models..but sold it as every x100 variants..why? its only 35 mm with slow autofocus..for casual shooting my iphone is enough

[@golfkhakis]

Manny using the 10% cinebloom?

I've had an X100T for several months, but sadly, I'm not in love. Picture quality is great of course, but you can say that for pretty much every digital camera these days. My main complaint is that it's not a truly "pocketable" camera, and I just find my X-T2 much more comfortable to hold and shoot with. With a small lens, the X-T2 isn't that much larger than the X100T. I also used to have an X-E2, to which I ended adding a bottom plate with a larger grip for more comfort - again, this combo ended up being nearly as big as the X-T2. (I had a very short fling with an X-S10 as well, got lured in by the built-in IBIS, but it felt like a plastic toy compared to all the other Fujis). For my needs, I can't imagine a better camera than the X-T2 (I'm sure I'd be happy with an X-T5, but of course I'll wait a few years to upgrade...)

Got a canon 5D classic and a 50 1.8 and it’s fantastic. Would love a Fuji, but i don’t have 2,600 to spend on a camera.

I was getting this used for the same price as a new XE4 with 27mm and xe4with 27 is way more compact than this and after using it i understand the hype around fuji. The community is amazing and their Free service camps are cherry on top.

That was a great video😊

I would love to get hold of a X100V, as a daily carry camera, no way I am going to pay double for one, so I just brought a Olympus C740UZ digicam from the early 2000s, very cheap and just fun camera to use, without the back pain from carrying a heavy Canon 5DIV with 35mm lens attached, my work camera!

[@matt_phistopheles]

The prices are really crazy. I could sell my X100F now for more than I've paid for it new when it came out. The main reason I'd upgrade to the X100V would be the weather sealing and maybe the titling screen. The inferior old lens on the X100F is more a X100V-hype-train argument than a problem in the real world. The lenses are identical apart from really close distance shots where you have to close the aperture a bit on the X100F to get the same result as on the X100V. This is not a bokeh monster anyway so I can live with that. So I'd highly recommend the X100F if you can get one for a reasonable price.

Please make a photography show with Manny

[@Jai3405]

do a video on the Ricoh gr iiix

[@Gofawu]

Remind me of all the thing that make me still shoot with my Sony NEX5

[@satyasohhampradhan8231]

With that money i will look out for some XT or XPro stuff in my country... Canon R6 is my primary camera anyway

[@Zainphotography]

Its cheaper in Australia. The hyoe train is there but hasn't caused much harm and the reason is we don't use eBay as much therefore, every now and then unaware people post cheaper bodies.

[@JokerVoorhees13]

Omg I also watch Manny Ortiz’ videos on his channel. So to see a crossover is lit

[@PaulTakesPhotos]

I owned the x100 and upgraded to the x100v whilst image quality is great after a few weeks i started disliking shooting with the camera: integrated shutter and iso button really hate it. Battery life is so-so and loads of focus issues. Instead i bought a Fuji XT30ii and now use the Ricoh GRIiix for everyday photography. Both these cameras really deliver for me. Most people often overlook the shooting experience. Which is the most important part of photography

[@ezrahilario7051]

Solid x100v ❤️

[@jeus_saaa]

I don't get why this is more hyped than let's say an XE-4 is. The XE-4 is literally this camera minus the rangefinder but has the benefit to change lenses.
