What is your favorite camera ever? Serious, share it down in the comments!

[@BrianFung1234]

I have an xt4 and an xe3~ Love the image quality that xt4 gives, but more fun shooting with xe3~ Can’t decide, i love them both😂

[@Reggiebphoto]

Haha nice!

[@uzu6]

Great review once again! Gotta go with you... X100V for sure! After I got mine about 4 months ago, I almost haven't touched my X-T3 + 16mm 1.4. The X100V is just so much fun to shoot with and the files are absolutely gorgeous! Now waiting for the xf 70-300mm so I can go out to shoot some "wildlife" with my X-T3... If it's still cooperating with me. :D Greetings from Finland!

[@Reggiebphoto]

The 70-300 looks awesome!

Nice! Stop watching videos and get our snd shoot!

[@devanteross2838]

Great review! Much appreciated. I’ve had this camera for 6 months and can’t help but still watch all these x100v videos LOL. I agree with you about the app! I think you just gotta know how to use it well.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Yes agreed! What’s your favorite thing about the x100v?

[@devanteross2838]

@@Reggiebphoto to be perfectly honest, what I love most and what drew me to it originally, is the way the silver one looks 😅 but aesthetics aside, I love the versatility. If you want to shoot some quick jpegs to share w friends SOOC with some grain and amazing film sims, switch a few things internally and share via the app! Quick and easy. Flip back to raw if you want and do some personal work for you to edit back at home!

[@Reggiebphoto]

Yes love it. The aesthetic is a big selling point for sure

[@jetking2]

I am a canon 5D Mark IV shooter and I tried this camera last year. I have to say I totally agree with you! This is a go anywhere camera that is one of the best things that I have purchased.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@denniss.6765]

Sold my X-E3 and all lenses and bought the X100V last week. Loved my X100S in the past. Just documenting my daughter and take pictures of pur life and for traveling it‘s the perfect camera! The V is awesome!

[@Reggiebphoto]

Yes it is!

[@NicholasBurgher]

I would also say the X100V is for someone interested in the Fujifilm system but who uses a different one. I have shot Nikon for a long time, but bought the X100V so that I could enter into the Fujifilm world without having to make a big investment in lenses at this time. I carry it everywhere now.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Yup I mention this in my review

[@MindYaBizz_Whiz]

Exactly why I want it. I’m a canon shooter, but don’t want to take the full dive, yet…

[@rives305]

The X100 series are my all time favorite camera's ever and the V is the topping on the cake. Whenever I leave the house the V is with me and I'm always asked if it's a film camera or wow someone still shoots film. It's a wonderful camera and does what I need to do everytime... Nice video Thanks

[@Reggiebphoto]

Yes!

Damn I just bought the X100V because of YOU! Thanks hehe. It’s a wonderful camera, and I can’t wait to document family life and trips.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Amazing!

[@neilford5262]

Bought one, sold one, buying one again! 😀 Letting my beloved X-Pro3 go as I'm just not using it. The "grab and go" nature of the V is just so enticing. Thanks for a great roundup.

[@jamessenade3181]

thx for sharing your personal note and your feeling ...priceless .

[@Ed-lz4jv]

ive had the T, F and finally Sold my V yesterday after 9 months own....Just tired of the one lens camera thing, bought a MINT used T3 , love it! now I can use my lenses. Still anyone who wants a X100 - the X100V was by far the BEST one. All I will miss is the built in ND filter, man I wish the T3 had that

[@Reggiebphoto]

It’s not for everyone. I personally use both the xt3 and x100v

[@boris.dupont]

Excellent Reggie, thank you for this! Oh and your content is SO VERY much Better without the annoying background music. Much better, thank you,

[@Reggiebphoto]

I haven’t put background music in a long time.

[@wtr4397]

Completely agree. I have used 3 iterations of the X100 Series. I have carried it with me during months of extended travel with no regrets. Ok, I missed the periodic photo a longer focal length would have been nice. I am so committed to lighter and smaller, I bought a used xf10 that has been amazing. People complain about the focus hunting but not been my experience. It is still no X100V. Wayne

[@Reggiebphoto]

Thanks for sharing!

[@dennisvanmierlo]

Hi Reggie, My X100V is my favorite camera 📷 I’m going to try out your suggestion to film with it. Your family photos are really great. So lovely to watch. Thank you for sharing this with us. Lot’s of greetings, Dennis 🇳🇱

[@Reggiebphoto]

Thanks Dennis

[@robert3px]

I needed a video like this since I want to jump into Fujifilm. I'll seriously consider this one over the XT-3 when I'm able to buy a new camera.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Yes, if you have any questions just let me know!

[@orion7741]

The X-t3 is better than this in every way though.... plus the X-t3 has weathersealing. the x100v is great for casual "snapshot" pictures on vacation, but if you want to really make great images, this is not a great camera especially when compared to the X-t3.

[@Reggiebphoto]

I have the xt3 as well. And I don’t consider the x100v not a great camera. You’re entitled to your opinion. Perhaps create a video review and share your thoughts.

[@mick1967]

@@orion7741 Your statement doesn't make sense in its absoluteness. The X-T3 has got the same 26 MP image sensor. The difference is made by the lenses and the 23mm lens of the X100V is new and has got a better image quality then the 23mm f/2 for the interchangeable lens cameras. If you are a photographer who uses 35mm (fullframe) lenses exclusively like many street photographers the x100v is even better than the x-T3 with a 23mm f/2. If you take Macro pics then the X-T3 is better for obvious reasons.

[@Don-yf6yo]

I appreciate that you made this video. I always like reviews of Fujifilm equipment from the perspective of Fujifilm users. When I first heard about the X100 series cameras I did not understand the business case behind it - it was quite expensive for a camera where you can't change the lens. Then I came to understand the versatility of the 23mm focal length. I am currently using an XT2 and my favorite lens is the 23mm F2, which is usually the lens I have mounted for most of my shooting. Because of its focal length, I have long considered getting a X100 series camera. From this video, I can see that the XT2 paired with the 23mm F2 lens is a very close setup to the X100V (I know that the X100V has newer hardware and is better in many situations than the XT2 with 23mm F2). But in the end it comes down to the budget. It's hard to justify spending about $1k on a camera that heavily overlaps with gear that I already have. With a set budget, any spending on new gear should expand upon the capabilities of my current tool set. With that said, the X100V is a very handy camera and I'm sure is as much fun to use as my XT2 with the 23mm.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Thanks for your comment. A cameras worth is always going to be determine by the individual. No matter how many reviews a person watches, if it’s not worth it it’s not worth it. My point is not to convince someone it’s worth the money to buy it but just to genuinely share my experience and how it fits into my life and why I think it’s my favorite camera.

[@Don-yf6yo]

​@@Reggiebphoto I know that your video was not trying to convince someone whether or not to get this camera. But after re-reading my comment I can see why you thought I was saying that. My comment was merely my internal musings about this camera. Every time a new X100 series camera is released I consider buying it and then go through the same thought process I just laid out in my comment as to why I shouldn't...haha....

[@Reggiebphoto]

No I understood your comment; I’m just saying my reviews are just testimonies.‘I’m never trying to promise that it’ll work for someone else. Just emphasizing my personal experience and putting it out for the internet to see/hear if interested

[@donnlowel2387]

I subscribe to your channel coz i think your channel has the warmest, simplest, and realistic camera reviews. With your talent and an eye, i think Fujifilm should make you an X photographer. Keep pushing and believe in your dream.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Thanks Gajan! It’s definitely one of those I feel encompass me as a creator. Felt on it with this one. 🙌🏽

[@yummywheyprotein]

I'm glad you mention toddlers. Shooting them indoors is my biggest concern. It's very challenging even for my full frame Sony A7iii. I currently have the Sony RX100 mk7 but it's only a 1" sensor and the colors out of camera are very yellow on Sony's. I want to shoot JPEG and forget it. I don't mind a little bit of soft blur, I used to want everything tack sharp but I'm over it.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Toddlers is the ultimate af test

[@JoeLopez]

A solid video. Updating my X100T to the V right now

[@Reggiebphoto]

Woohoo!

[@OscarGuzman]

I honestly don't know why so many people complain about the wireless app. On my XT-3 I just select wireless transfer order then select my photos and hit ok. Then I just make sure bluetooth is on turn off the camera and open my fuji app on my phone and it transfers in the order I selected automatically. It's like magic! In another note, I'm trying to convince my wife to get this camera to document our two kids. I think I'll just share this video with her. Thanks! 😉

[@Reggiebphoto]

Yup,‘works fine for me too!

[@Reggiebphoto]

[@vnollora]

In the past I used a film camera (Pentax K1000) for documentation of my personal life and I used a DSLR (Canon 80d) when I was doing work for others not I didn't want to wait for my film to be developed. I preferred the work flow of film, but the convince of digital so the X100v was the perfect choice for me.

[@garymorrow9324]

Cool video, I'm in your shoes as well. Got it expecting a great wedding candids machine and was stymied by the lack of weddings! I love the camera though, and if you over-expose that Classic Negative a little magical film like stuff happens. I only pray gig and music culture survives the pandemic here in the UK, as that's what I really want it for. Anyway, it's no slouch documenting family stuff and it is my go-too camera for that as well. I think the most satisfying experience photographing family though was my sister's wedding where I shot just one roll of medium format 120 HP5 on a Yashica. I could do this as I was there to fully enjoy the day and wasn't the official photographer! I got four shots I was super happy with which made nice prints and for once I could really choose my moment and spend the rest of the time just enjoying myself. Anyway, some lovely photos there especially with the acros style!

This little camera is code named 'Ninja warrior'. The leaf shutter is so very quiet, quieter than a mosquito bite. I captured a great amount of beautiful moments unnoticed. Feel like myself a paparazzi with Ninja darts. NO DOUBT my all time favourite. I'd keep it for 10 years with happiness.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Yes agree!

[@dianeschuller]

What I like about this, is how honest and how personal your use of this camera has been. I was lusting after this camera and when we drove to the city to get one, they were sold out and said they had no idea when they might get any more in. They directed me to the X-T30. I absolutely love this camera. Like the V, I love how light and compact it is, and LOVE the dials on top instead of always having to go into a menu. And the quality of the photos is super. This is my first Fujifilm and by far my favourite camera of all time (I've had or still have: Canons, Nikons, Chinon (eek), Panasonic (didn't like), Pentax.)

[@Reggiebphoto]

Thanks for you kind words

[@adventure_all_day]

Great video, I love mine for all the reasons you stated on approachability, ease of use, quality, JPEG, and mobility. Love shooting my little ones and I can take it everywhere. Do you always shoot with the hood on?

[@AD-zo5vp]

Oh man, I just opted for xe4 +27/18 as I couldn't settle on vanilla 23 only ... but you're making a damn good case! Let's see how I'll fare, maybe the benefits (e.g. evf, wr, leaf shutter, nd) and single, fixed lens simplicity of x100v will win me over too :)

[@Reggiebphoto]

There’s a case for both. Just sayin

[@Reggiebphoto]

Again there’s a case for both.

[@AD-zo5vp]

That's probably true Fred. I'll also keep my xt3 + 35/16 f1.4. Just want a smaller everyday carry. It was a tough one already and Reggie made a very good case! Maybe one day I'll be able to free myself of lens choice altogether... we'll see :)

[@albertsmith9315]

You certainly come thru as quite an advocate for this camera and are very sincere. I bought the initial X100, coming from decades of using Leica M film cameras. Unfortunately, the camera was not fully evolved (slow A.F. and too quick to die battery) and did not find a place in my daily photography. I did give Fujifilm another chance and after success with the X-T2 and 23mm Fujicron, I now have 5 cameras and 9 lenses. My go-to is a coin flip between the X-Pro2 with 35mm f/1.4 or X-T3 with 23mm f/1.4. I can see another X100 in my future, no doubt the V... thanks to your video which corroborates most other reviews.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Yup, I genuinely love it. And the fact that it’s helps me photograph my favorite subjects (my family) it makes it that much higher on my list

[@rigview]

Im currently looking for my first fuji camera and torn between x100v or xt5.. i have my sony a7c currently using for some photoshoot/client but it has 1 card slot so im very torn if im gonna get the xt5 for better performance and card slots.. or for the looks and fun shoot around,travel with the x100v..

[@lrb05131963]

Very good update Reg

[@Reggiebphoto]

Thanks!

[@RandyPollock]

I use a X-T2 with a 23mm 2.0 for my everyday/family camera (then I use a X-T3 for my photography work). I have thought about getting the 100v, but would it be that much better than the X-T2 for what I use it for...that's the question.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Better probably not. But the x100v is a complete all in one package. So it’s just smaller and works well.

[@vpr5562]

Reggie, i am a wedding guy too. Using Sony a7r3, batis lenses. Got x100v, but also got xf10 - somehow i started to feel the 28 even more, very strange. I wish the xf10 was focusing faster, but i believe the xf20 will be awe-some! You may try xf10 and share opinion.

[@Reggiebphoto]

I’ve tried the x70 and loved it. Wish they updated it tho

[@yaxcedo]

is it still worth buying the fujifilm X100F for family photos wiith children?

That’s really up to you and what you feel is worth it. What would you hope to be improved

[@maxm4852]

For family Fotos only, you can also buy the original X100. Start to watch videos on all the different versions! Every version does come with other features and a different price. I first bought the X100 and the v and I’m very happy with both of them. I honestly suggest to get you hands on a original X100! This thing is gorgeous and is the most fun to use!

I have an XT-3 and the X100V and I never had problems with my mobile connectivity to transfer Jpegs. I just select which camera to choose and wait for the connection. I press 'transfer images' on my phone and my camera starts connecting right away :). Anyhow... I had bought the X100S years ago but found it too expensive so I returned and ended up with the Ricoh GR II (which was amazing!). I bought the X100V 6 months ago... and it has been such a pleasure using!

[@Luke97979]

​@@Reggiebphoto Ive used a 18-135mm lens but seeing the data in lightroom I shot the most(& my favs) pictures between 24-50mm (also cropped sensor).

I've got a used X100T last month after owning an X-T30 with 35 f1.4 (I also have the 23 f2), and until now I'm torn. I love the compactness and feel of the X100T, but it can't compete with the IQ of the 35 f1.4 with XT30. I many use my camera to document family memories and until now I'm stressed whether which one to pick every time. 😅

[@Reggiebphoto]

Both are small. Bring both.

[@Ttjam1]

What are you shooting now may I ask? I am in the same situation. I use an XT1 with 35mm f/1.4 99% of the time. Selling my other lenses due to lack of use. I have an X100V on the way as I wanted something more compact, but I’m scared of giving up the lovely 35mm photos. On the other hand I don’t want decision paralysis

[@albertopaz84]

Great review, Reggie! Considering the image quality, could the x100v replace the 23mm f1.4 on a professional assignment? Thank you in advance

[@Reggiebphoto]

Image quality alone it would suffice. But I reach for the 23 1:4 before I shoot low light for pro jobs

Love your video. Personally, I highly recommend to use Silkypix Developer Studio Pro for Fujifilm and Panasonic cameras. Because, Silkypix Developer Natively Support Fuji and Panasonic. And Vice versa. 😊 Please make a video on Silkypix

[@Reggiebphoto]

I use Lightroom and make content on that typically

[@WhoIsSerafin]

Couple of things. I’ve done street photography for a long time and either using a G9 or EM5 Mark iii with a sigma 16mm I’ve never had a problem with anyone because my camera was intimidating. It’s more about your approach with people. Second I love the look of the camera but being so used to fantastic ibis and being able to keep the iso and shutter speeds very low in dark situations the lack of ibis and slow lens keeps me away. The 100 has a lot going for it and I would have snatched it up if it either had ibis or a faster lens.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Street photography and photographing toddlers are two different things my friend

Currently I own only the x100v, but as for my favorite camera I think I’d have to go with the xpro2. There was something about the camera with my 35f2 on it that just was...idk magical to me. I loved that set up and eventually want to get the xpro3(I actually love their screen lol) with the 35f2 again and maybe another lens or two.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Nice great choices! What makes you like that combo more than the v?

[@Holl.Mvrk.]

@@Reggiebphoto I typically just find myself enjoying the 50mm focal length more lately. But I do have the TCL To throw on the V, Which with the recent update to the digital converter it allows me to shoot at 50, 72 and 100 when it’s attached and still grab a raw file. Which is pretty fun actually so I think it may make me enjoy the V even more now that it isn’t stuck to only getting a JPEG. Also idk but I just love the look of the xpro series a little bit more than the x100V. Buttttt that’s only by a hair because the silver V is just gorgeous to look at hahaha

[@Reggiebphoto]

Got it haha. No right or wrong answer. Do you my friend! Just was curious and loved your response

[@andrewbaddeley5347]

Great video! I love my X100V, just traded in my X-T3 and 18-55 plus 10-24mm as I only really shoot family and holiday pics these days. What wrist strap are you using?

[@Reggiebphoto]

Using a tap & dye wrist strap

[@palmhousebookrestoration3284]

Hi Reggie, would I notice a big improvement in image quality over my X100T?

[@Reggiebphoto]

The improvements come in the updated lens (which affects image quality) and the overall camera operation and af speed. “Big” would be really a determination only you can make, not me.

[@palmhousebookrestoration3284]

@@Reggiebphoto Thank you Reggie 🤘

[@danielmunoz128]

I’m interested in buying this camera but wondering if maybe there was a newer version x100 being released anytime soon. Hold off? Or get this now

[@Reggiebphoto]

Nope it’s gonna be at least a couple years. Snd this had been the most major update yet.

[@mariogpx2990]

Maybe in a couple of years , do what I do , buy the camera and sell it when rumors of a new models are out there, they usually keep good value

[@jasona4881]

Great images! When documenting your daily life do you keep things simple and shoot jpeg w/ film sims as to not complicate with having to edit later?

[@Reggiebphoto]

I shoot jpeg plus raw. Usually I never edit them but I have the peace of Mind knowing I have them available

[@R8135003]

Favorite Camera Ever? Nikon 4Ds. Brilliant for shooting sports, but things move on. Now shot with X100v and a XT4 with a 40-150. Keep the videos coming, enjoy your work. Be lucky tay safe.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@SchizOone]

Hey reggie. Great Video. Love your Content. As a Camera Dad i have really struggling with those action shots. Have 2 Girls and they are full of energy 😅 have you any tips for me when shooting fast situations with my x100v? Focusmodes and stuff?

[@Reggiebphoto]

Af-c, zone focus, stop down a bit , pan with your subjects , and practice

[@rory-mcnamara-photography]

Hey Reggie, great video thanks, just wonder are you still using the same settings as you used in your settings video or have you changed it up a bit? Thanks.

What lens do You pair with the m9

[@costascosta273]

Sweet!

[@patrick-resendiz]

I currently own the X-S10, 23 f2, 50f2 and 56f1.2. Debating getting an X100V or used X-T3 as a second body. Would be nice to have a camera with the 23 field of view and a second with 50/56 to just grab for the occasional portrait or tight shot.

[@Reggiebphoto]

X100v is a great second body for any fuji shooter

[@patrick-resendiz]

@@Reggiebphoto thanks for the review. Gonna seriously consider this as my second body. I use Fuji to capture my family, I’m not a pro and I think the 100v along with an interchangeable lens body would give me everything I need.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Yes I absolutely agree. The cool thing is it has the same image quality so it’s really seamless. Many people have a personal camera that isn’t the same IQ as the interchangeable. This one you don’t have to worry. Xs10 and x100v is a great combo for an enthusiast wanting to have a well rounded kit

[@Reggiebphoto]

It’s a totally different type of experience. Also a full stop of light.

[@michalforysiak9219]

Hi Reggie, do you plan to make the presets for capture one, or is any way to covert the LR presets to C1?

[@Reggiebphoto]

At this point it’s not in my immediate plans. If there was an easy way to convert I’d probably already have done it, but I’m not aware of one. I also haven’t done that much research tho :)

[@judasblewit]

Ok fine I'll get one. But I think I'm going black I'm scared I'll get tired of the silver after awhile.

[@brodobroggins]

Honest question - why not just use my 3 lens iPhone?

[@Reggiebphoto]

Nothing. If you’re satisfied with that then no need to be watching camera videos on KZbin

[@jmagephotography689]

Im intrigue and now torn between xt4 and x100v as to what my first camera be. I thought i was 99.99% sure with xt4 but after watching this video, it goes down to 50-50. 😆 Considering that I still have zero knowledge and xt4 might be too impractical due to its price tag. I have 3 young kids. Any suggestion what's the best lens to pair with it?

[@Reggiebphoto]

Xt4 and the 18-55 is a solid place to start

[@ray-raym6551]

do you have a tutorial /tips or RECIPIE on how to get white framing /frame around an image in post/capture one when the key subject is smaller than the required digital dimensions for social media. Example your subject is cropped to 3 x 2, but your post is required to be 4 x 5?

Just use some type of design software such as photoshop

Is it possible to weather seal this camera with a circular polarizer filter instead of a UV filter?

Hi Reggie and thanks to good video. Really like the pictures of your family. Have you edit them anything. Was thinking of bying the x h1 or xs 10 with 23 1.4 but i must say im impressed with this pictures Best regards Joakim

[@Reggiebphoto]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHmuYYefi9KVi5Y these are how I set up my xs10 for photos that don’t require editing

[@jockes8653]

Thanks 👍, I will really enjoy look at them. Did you process any of the pictures with the x100v ? Really like the close focus distance at 10cm but im afraid i will miss to change lenses so maybe it lran to the xs 10 or more heavy x h1. But the x100v has also better display and viewfinder and you can use converter so its not a easy choice, especially when you dont have a store nearby to test them. Best regards Joakim

[@jockes8653]

And a very important question 2 youtubers have said that the camera went very warm when they use it? Something you have noticed? Best regards Joakim

@@Reggiebphoto sorry with all the questions really like to take pictures manually, how is this lens you think , the same as a fuji 35 1.4 you think?

It can get warm sometimes but it’s nothing that stops the camera operation. People will complain about anything aside from how great it is for shooting since they can’t nitpick that

Sorry I didn’t finish typing. I meant to ask the 100V flash sync speed is 1/500 sec, correct?

[@Reggiebphoto]

I don't remember exactly, but due to the leaf shutter mechanism it has a higher than usual sync speed

[@ge48421]

@@Reggiebphoto I've used it up to 1/2000s, in full sun light. I just checked the manual, and it specifies 1/2000s as well (page 102). The flash duration may be longer than the shutter speed depending on the flash you're using, so you could lose some light, but it still works. A small flash like the Godox TT350 you mentioned goes a long way when combined with this leaf shutter.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Yeah thanks for sharing that my friend!

I bet you a nickel before I watch this that there will be no info here on what the options on exposure control in video are, how much override one has with it, and whether the exposure can be set and locked. Nobody brings these subjects up in their camera reviews.

Not many people buy this camera for video to be honest. What do you want to know about it?
