Pro Photography on the Most Popular Camera in 2023: Fujifilm X100V

[@Jeff-ev5yg]

I love it when you show us Fujifilm content!

[@deroux]

I have one and love it for wedding and event candids. People are so relaxed in front of it because it doesn't look like a giant pro camera. love it. Great video.

[@juliatrotti]

That's actually such a clever idea!!

[@himangshumahanta5398]

Definitely want a video with the lens converters. 😁

[@juliatrotti]

I'll see if I can get my hands on it, I'd love to try it out too!

[@undieeesss]

to be honest this is probably the first time that the video looks better than the pictures

[@aninatelje]

Your edited and raw photos are always so perfect, they make my heart skip a beat😍

[@juliatrotti]

Ahh thank you so much Ana!

[@TAU_]

You are absolutely amazing! No one shows the potantial of a camera for portraits as good as you do, perfect mix between showing the shooting, the final results, raw versions, showing details of the metadata. Thank you so much for your great work! :)

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much!

[@michaelneumann1865]

Agreed. Highlighting the good and the bad in a kind manner

[@ogonzilla]

Those Astia shots! Also LR has fujifilm color profiles that are pretty close.

[@jjstarrprod]

Astia is the unsung hero of Fujifilm's films simulations. I'm always surprised nobody is talking about it.

[@SkyGW]

@@jjstarrprod justiceforAstia! Then again I cant blame people getting enarmored by classic chrome and acros. Those two are amazing

[@jjstarrprod]

@@SkyGW I can understand that. Though, for me, CC always looked like black & white... but in colors. I mean ... why would you do that ?

[@SkyGW]

@@jjstarrprod I think because it tries to simulate the legendary kodachrome. CC really shines in overcast days so at least the upcoming fall/winter season it's amazing. For summer astia and velvia are awesome

[@jjstarrprod]

@@SkyGW true dat. I can understand the appeal of CC during fall or winter. Btw, loving your avatar.

[@hayjayready3765]

Apologies if this has been addressed, but just curious if there is a reason for using ISO 640 instead of base ISO (100ish) and a little bit slower shutter. Or maybe you were using one of the higher dynamic range settings? Beautiful shoot! Thank you for sharing

[@rick-deckard]

I love classic negative, especially on scenes with red in them! Anyways great job as always.

[@juliatrotti]

Yeah same here, that what my favourite emulation! And thank you :)

[@ErnestoRausa]

I'd love to see a shoot with the telecoverter lens!

[@juliatrotti]

I'll see if I can borrow it soon to make a video!

[@RukiKenishiro]

@@juliatrotti yes please, with both wide and tele..

[@suicide6264]

Same here

[@fellowcitizen]

@@juliatrotti 9:15 "...stand out from..." the little flash with the TCL is great for this due to the leaf shutter high-speeds darkening the background in tandem with lift from the front. There's a great fashion promo from the X100F launch which did so to great effect. + Loved this video, and how you drew something out from the model.

[@devanteross2838]

Also, yes! Would love to see a video using the TCL with the X100V!

[@medusasaurus1447]

My favorite carry around camera! I was so excited to see this video pop up. Thanks!

[@devanteross2838]

Really excited for this one! Thank you! I just got my own a few weeks ago and love it!

[@joshua4578]

This shows the serious capabilities of this camera...what a great camera for EDC or vacation snaps! I want to try out Fujifilm one of these days, if I was packing light for a trip, this would be the perfect camera/lens setup!

[@juliatrotti]

Glad you liked it and I agree, I'm so tempted to get one!

[@patcormick]

ive been crushing on this camera since it came out.

[@juliatrotti]

I know same, it's not only pretty but I really loved the images and using it too. I have the first x100 camera, I kinda want to replace it with this!

[@panopsata3038]

Nice video and camera, But just wondering why shoot at iso 640,when you can use a way lower shutter speed and get still get sharp photos with base iso?

[@BrackDynamite]

I’d imagine that she was trying to get higher dynamic range for the SOOC JPEGs. The highest setting is only available at iso 640 and above.

[@NacerAbid-l7i]

@@BrackDynamite please could you explain

[@miichaellangelo]

WOW, this tiny boi is poppin RF lens quality prints

[@Fre_patrick97]

Ehhh idk about all that lol

[@jaytcapinpin]

LOL.....No

[@juliatrotti]

Ahahaha your comment made my day

[@charleskoonu]

Wow, Than little camera is just amazing, with the TLC is just amazing for portraits, as always Julia you´re shinning everywhere.

[@Kabukicabbage]

That camera is so amazing! The photos are so dang cute! I love the picnic style!

[@maneeshpanwar5722]

Hey Julia, It would be nice if you can share which picture mode you are using along with preset details that will help x100v user to decide what could be the best possibility with this camera rather than knowing it post production...

[@visualtherapist4290]

Fuji has seriously raised their game with cameras.

[@doctornebula]

Beautiful model. Beautiful camera. Love the colors.

[@Poverello2001]

The leaf shutter on the x100 is pure magic and separates this camera from the run of the mill mirrorless camera.

[@mollyeclectachrome3795]

I've had these with the wide and tele converters - the tele is pretty "big" but really cool. Both of them are amazing, I always regret selling this camera to update to an interchangeable lens and keep switching back.

[@jeremyfielding2333]

Pretty girl, iconic camera.

[@Mnilionic]

The color grade of the video is much better and more pleasant than on the photographs.

[@rick-deckard]

That bark at 11:09 felt right with the beat.

[@juliatrotti]

Hahaha I didn't even notice while I was editing I love that 😂

[@Vardagsvegan1]

Do you have any videos with these cameras where you use the simulations? Would love that! So easy for instgram ect.

[@areepahmad]

OMG...just the kinda video i was looking for the whole day!!! Thanks julia 😊

[@juliatrotti]

Yay glad you liked it!

[@michaelrc6282]

Wow what a cool camera. It's so compact and delivers many features. As always, great work! Looking forward to the next video. 😀

[@juliatrotti]

Thanks so much :D

[@guipe43]

Gorgeous model, beautiful pictures!

[@jeromeh3605]

Thanks for the video. Why did you shooted all the photos at 640 ISO and not 200?

[@DeeRosa]

It’s not an F3.1 - you don’t apply crop to aperture. It’s gets light at f2 speeds and regardless of what the crop is you still get the bokeh of a 23mm full frame lens at f2. Stop applying crops to aperture that’s a myth started by photographer who use bokeh as a crutch.

[@TheVFXbyArt]

The reason for that is because if the crop, you stand FARTHER AWAY at “23mm” than you would with a full frame 23mm, hence why an f2 bokeh looks more like an f3.1

[@davidellis5141]

Nice work by you and Sarah. Outstanding location. Love the 📷.

[@juliatrotti]

Thanks so much!

[@jenijerom]

Hi Julia I have the Sony a7 iii with some lenses and love this system. But sometimes i wished i had a smaller and more compact camera that i can take it with me like every day. And was thinking about sony zv-e10 or the Fujifilm x100v Which one would you recommend? I'm not a professional,but love to take photos.

[@rahuldev642]

Every shot is golden ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@dalet1001]

Great video, I own this camera and love it! I replaced my X-T3 and a set of lenses with just this and have not regretted the decision. It would be great to see you do a video with the teleconverter and with the wide as well. Subscribed!!

[@tmonkeypunch]

Do you have any plans of doing a review of the Fujifilm 50mm F1.0 lens? Very curious what you could do with that monster.

[@lichtbube3041]

I love to shoot weddings with the X100V. The guest doesn't notice me, when i'm standing next to them.

[@juliatrotti]

Yeah someone else mentioned that they like to shoot the unposed/mingling guest photos on this camera too which is such a good idea! Do you shoot the entire day on the 100V or just parts of it?

[@TahirHasnain]

Now that I think about, that is a fantastic idea! I can imagine you get some really candid shots!? I must confess I am super curious, how is it to work with indoors and in darker surroundings?

[@lichtbube3041]

My Main-Camera is a GFX50R with 63 and 110. I use it for the planned slower Parts of the Wedding like posed Portraits of groups. With x100v i use iso 12800. But of course, a Full Frame or Medium Format has more Ressources. You can use flash also with the x100v (leaf shutter)

[@beankurt]

Oh X100 series my favorite~!!! Welcome to Fuji

[@leticiadias3857]

dreaming so much about this camera

[@praaajal]

I love your style. The photos turned out so good. Loads of love Julia ✨

[@rafdegreve]

amazing. Wonder about the quality of the X100V in combination with the WCL II? any experiences?

[@thienluong3263]

Compact camera for nice photos.Pretty one

[@TheZachMendez]

Yes! Love everything about this - thanks for the video! I so appreciate that you update your presets - got the NY pack update and they look awesome. Also, since you're getting into Fuji, I would love to see what you do with the new 50mm F1! Cheers! :)

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it and also enjoyed the NY update!! Omg I just did a shoot with the 50mm f1.0 yesterday and I loooved it, will get working on the video really soon 😄

[@MichaelPlaysGuitar]

Awesome video Nice to see a portrait shoot instead of street photography with this camera

[@abchappell01]

Both Astia and Classic Negative were nice!

[@olgakidisevic2437]

I have this camera and had NO IDEA I could shoot RAW and later process the file using the Fuji film simulations. Thanks for the tip!

[@juliatrotti]

Ooh yay I'm glad I could help! Yeah I'm literally so indecisive so that feature is perfect for me haha

[@MumtazBahri]

Nice video! Sorry for asking this, why all photos were taken at ISO640, did you have a purpose for that or it was a mistake. I noticed the shutter speed was too high and you could have better decisions than shooting at ISO640. sorry again, I don't mean anything just want to know if there is any secret that I don't know yet to learn. thanks, I really love your videos and your accent.

[@ikoy.21]

for dinamic range 400%

[@MumtazBahri]

@@ikoy.21 a bit slower shutter speed that what she was using is better for dynamic range and cleaner image, I guess she didn't notice that she was shooting at 640 ISO for sure, we are human and we all do mistakes 😉

[@ikoy.21]

@@MumtazBahri ohh slower shutter speed make better photo? thankyou, i just found out about it.

[@MumtazBahri]

@@ikoy.21 you are welcome! Just to make it clear, If you have to choose between shutter speed or ISO to brighten your exposure, slower shutter is always better choice because high ISO will cause noise in ur images. Note: you need to consider the subject moves and your hands shake when u decide the shutter speed because if the shutter speed was to low will cause blurry images.

[@palinode]

There is a dynamic range setting on Fujifilm cameras. If you set it at 400% it automatically pushes the ISO to capture shadows better. The increased ISO means that the shutter will always be faster. Higher ISOs on modern sensors do not automatically mean noisier images.

[@VNW_2022]

Yes,. we should not ignore the person behind the camera. ❣️

[@homechoicehk]

So classic look

[@amandiovdc7880]

Another one! Thanks for sharing Julia. Have a good one.

[@michaelneumann1865]

Julia ive been watching your videos for years now. Great work!!! Your discussion of the Bokeh is something I was seeking from watching many videos and looking at tons of samples of the x100v. I think you just saved me some time and money. I’ll stick with my Sony RX1rII and A7C with 1.4 lenses. BTW your traveling in colorado video is one of my all time favorite KZbin videos. I’m a pro shooter in chicago and spend much of my time in Telluride. Thank you for what you do!! Michael Neumann One World Productions.

These are great and your editing style really fits the Fuji look. Im surprised you dont shoot with Fuji cameras more often. I should have kept that 100V I had a few years back. They are going for crazy money now.

Yess! I've been waiting for this video! I know product photography isn't your thing, but how do you think the X100V will perform with product photography?

[@AllieOnPointe]

This is one of my favorite videos on this camera! (I’m upgrading from the F soon) I love how you show how simple easy backgrounds can be great for photoshoots and also how well even a small camera like this can perform for portraits. I love using my TCL lens with the x100f and would love t see a video on using it for portrait shoots like this.

[@johnny_bravo9990]

What do you think your X100F will sell for?

[@BollywoodFix]

Hey what are the settings you did around 8:05 in the video to be able to shoot while still having your model in focus even though she was moving? Let's say I wanted to put my X100V on a tripod and have it continuously shooting multiple pictures but still focusing on my model who would be moving her hands around. What can I change my settings to for this scenario?

[@doyshoots6259]

I was waiting for this video, I really like the x100v and hope to get one real soon

Lot of shots at a higher ISO, eg iso640 but with a shutter speed of 1/2000. I didn't catch in the video why this was better than dropping the iso and the shutter speed? I've had the x100, then x100s and currently x100f. Will the x100v be next on the list - probably.

[@brahmabeharrysingh5287]

I've got the x100F and the TCL converter. My favorite kit. The compact size and "tactile' controls make this camera really enjoyable to use but there are other cameras that offer the same. I wish you had covered the built in ND filter and leaf shutter. These features are what really makes this line of cameras stand out from the rest IMO. They offer a HUGE advantage when you shoot in bright daylight as I often do in the Tropics.

I have the Fuji X-T3. I had no idea the 100V was so good. The natural skin tones are wonderful. Would be good to see the bokeh with the teleconverter. A great carry-everywhere camera with resolution far greater than a mobile phone so one can have good size prints made of the photos. I think I’ll hire one and see for myself. Thanks for the excellent video.
