What X100VI Is Made For

[@alexandergiesser]

As someone who enjoys peace and quiet I fully endorse and appreciate not tagging EVERY single location. Thank you so much!

[@patrickcasella]

Massive respect for not giving that location away in the video. Goes a long way for the locals.

[@DylanSpitz]

The part about slipping on the steps had me cracking up 😂, so unexpected. Love the honesty 👏

[@freyahEVE]

Yoo, didn't expect to see you here Dylan.

[@neilparry9511]

Same. Died. lol

[@carlslack7706]

The thing I love about the x100v as a travel camera is that it will take images how I remember them. Not great in terms of the suitability for all times, but it terms of capturing the moment it is 10/10, and it’s easy for everyone to use if you pass it to friends.

[@mcfalcia]

I agree. Those of us who watch channels like Roman, who is completely awesome, sometimes end up feeling like we need to be a professional photographer and get the perfect shot, with the perfect lens, and perfect exposure. I need to just enjoy a location, and a P&S does that.

[@petarvloga]

18:17 That is an amazing capture of our beloved Luigi (aka Zastava 750) on our journey through Balkans. 😄

[@MikeCampo]

Great shots and advice. Also really appreciate your integrity when it comes to not broadcasting the exact location of quiet environments.

[@john_in_Berlin]

Very relatable, credible and watchable. Agree with you on the focal length / travel issue. Dubrovnik is an amazing city, and those marble stones are indeed slippery, you almost want to stroll around and slide with socks. Beautiful, informative video. Thanks! ❤

Can't believe I just subscribed now, I've been watching you for almost two years now! I alway loved your videos, your style of photography, your advice and your perspective over things in every day life I was shook to see that I never subscribed to your channel, I'm really sorry about that! You thought me so much and what's more important you gave me so much inspiration to go out and shoot. Thank you for your good advice and overall very nice videos. Keep going and please don't stop! You are such an inspiration to so many people over the world and one of my favorite photographers for sure Much love to you from Germany

[@jaygreer7430]

I went to Dubrovnik last summer with my family. It was an amazing trip! I brought along my Fuji x100F plus a GoPro. I have many photos similar to yours from some of the same locations. One of my highlights was going on a kayak tour of the waterfront area around the Palace. After circling around the Palace, we then paddled out to that little island nearby for lunch and a swim. Overall, we had a great trip. Looks like you did, too!

[@kolouker]

That was super interesting to watch because I visited the same places last month. I took very different photos though. It is really curious that we all see different things in the same place.

[@abchappell01]

Your mother always adds a beautiful elegance as well as some mystery to your videos. 😊

[@dan.allen.digital]

Your comment about the limitations of the 23mm FL, Fuji do have adapter lenses for 18mm (28mmFF) and 33mm(50mmFF). They add a bit of weight but do work fairly well if you had a sling bag to carry them around.

[@LUITESLIFE]

Have been traveling for about 5 months with the X100VI and a Fuji X-S10 with a Sigma 10-18 + 56mm combo. I haven't used the X-S10 once. I love the X100VI. The ND filter in combination with IBIS is a game changer.

[@declandebarra]

Really dig the 35mm framing on these, great work as usual. Hope you had a great time with your Ma.

[@headphoneboy]

Do you have another video or a blog post about what film recipes you’re using on your X100VI setup for the photos in this video?

[@visualsbypreet]

Lovely Frames and beautiful location mate

[@Brightsparks1960]

Great video and one of my favourite locations. Interesting point you raised about a fixed lens camera and travel photography as this is my delimna every time I go on a trip. I love the minimalism of a single lens / single camera but know I have to take a small mirrorless camera + zoom + prime combo in order to maximise photo opportunities. Limiting my camera bag to a 6 litre is also one way to reduce gear.

[@makmak69L7]

Thank you very much Roman for this amazing video and the very nice picture you took in Croatia. I agree with you that 35mm focal length is limiting. I’ve visited Dubrovnik before and I confirm that this city requires a standard zoom lens (equivalent of 24-70mm f2.8). For those who only shoots with primes, then 28mm and 50mm will cover most of the scenarios.

[@RikMaxSpeed]

Nice video. I can’t imagine the crowds in Dubrovnik in July, I was there late April and the old town was very enjoyable at 30% capacity.

[@rick-deckard]

I've been doing the digital tele here and there and I think im fine with it! The OG raw is saved so no stress, and The lowest MP shot is still more than the 6 MP files from my EOS 300D I used to print large with very good results.

[@vivlund]

Beautiful shots, Roman! You already sold me on a couple of Bellroy slings and now you’ve sold me on Croatia.

[@iaincphotography6051]

Cheers for the tour round Roman, much enjoyed.

[@clientbuilding8737]

I like watching your videos for technique suggestions. You have great color balance in your full sun shots. Can I suggest you display on the screen your film simulation, W/B & color shift, along with any other adjustments to get a pleasing JPEG. Thx, Ric

[@TopshelfJunior]

I tapped out around the 6min mark but man...the photo of that cat at 4:51 I think ?! Money ! Nice video man.

[@jamesmcn0000]

Regarding focal length, I find 40MP + the effective 32mm and 46mm crops are good enough if you are willing to be flexible with your photography. I was previously shooting a Canon M6 with some ultrafast normal lenses and a collection of wide to ultra-wides primes. Managing lenses takes space and time, not ideal for in the moment photography while traveling when photography isn't the primary purpose of the travel. I spent six weeks in Japan shortly after receiving my X100vi. While there were plenty of times when I would have liked a wider or longer lens I was usually able to find a creative way to compose a very interesting image within the limits of the camera. A possible solution is to buy one of the ILC Fuji bodies and a single Fuji zoom lens. I'm enjoying the X100vi enough that I may wait for the next generation of Fujis before taking that step.

[@alexbpunkt1875]

XT30 ii owner here. Having a camera where I can change the lenses is so convenient. My next one will be a pancake lens that I can put it just in my jacket. Not sure which one though.

[@LeePierre]

Involuntary farts are a gem 😃 God bless our biology 😂 and thanks for the exposure

[@stephenelliott7071]

Some lovely images and the X100VI is a very capable compact solution. But I agree with what you said about having something a bit wider and something longer for a tighter crop too. For travel my setup is an X-Pro3, 16 f2.8, 23 f2 and a 50 f2 (24, 35, 75 in ff terms). Where's the X-Pro4 Fujifilm? 🙂

[@pedestrian2530]

Your mom is a very elegant woman. Patient too!

[@technofreak100000]

Watching this is really reaffirming, as I’m travelling to Greenland packing my XT-5 with the Tamron 17-70. Hiking for weeks, I care a lot about size & weight, but still decided to bring the bigger zoom just to get everything in.

[@gripperharris]

always looks a nice camera but i decided go for the xt50 plus zoom, and small prime approach. I should have stressed i had most of these lenses anyway for my xt5, so i didn't go on a lense (another) binge.

[@exclusivelymatt]

I'm sure there will be plenty of other comments saying the same thing, but if it were actually available for sale, I'd have one. Looking forward to the day I can finally grab one. That said, I do wish they had a model with a 50mm equivalent lens instead.

[@RumoHasIt]

Like Ricoh has the GRiii and the GRiiiX! Ive though the same thing

[@exclusivelymatt]

@@RumoHasIt Yup! I know I am an odd one for saying this, but I haven't ever felt comfortable shooting at 35mm. People are able to generate amazing perspectives with that focal length, but it just feels super awkward for me.

[@MikeCampo]

I had to wait nearly 5 months for mine and I pre-ordered 20 mins after it was available to buy back in Feb! They took the money for it too. Pretty ridiculous and annoying, but I went zen mode and put it out of mind. Didn't want to get boned again like I did with my X-E4 and X100V orders being cancelled when production stopped. But yeah really fun camera and worth the wait!

[@stevenjohnson9714]

I ordered mine around noon on launch day. Finally got an email from B&H claiming my estimated ship date is December 10th! Insane…. Still keeping the order, but disappointed in Fuji for not having a good reserve on hand for preorders. At least it might be here in time to document Christmas with it.

[@martingreenberg870]

@@MikeCampo I was on wait list for XT100V when manufacturing ceased. Fuji never said sorry. They never offered to put me at the front of the VI wait list. I woke early and preordered at 0300 the VI. Waited 3.5 months. B&H couldn’t give me an ETA. I canceled the order. I’m not waiting a year again. I’m not paying a premium either. I bought an A7C with the 35/2.8 lens for $1200. I now have a full frame X100VI with interchangeable lens capabilities and better autofocus. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

[@wesleystreetshots]

I must have slipped 3 or 4 times in Amalfi trying to get a shot and not paying attention. I feel your pain!

[@dwbonbon3370]

I've got an earlier version of the lens and i do really like it. The problem is at £1,600 for the latest version, it is a seriously expensive point and shoot camera as you say. The thing is Fuji persuade us all we need it, but 95% of us would be better off with a lower spec version at about half the price, or in reality an x-t-- body. I'm sure I'm not alone in that I have used the nd filter a couple of times, the ovf basically never.

[@snapsbyfox]

yeah I wouldn’t recommend it to 99% of people tbh

imagine an X100 body with a 16-50 with f2.8 throughout the zoom range fixed to the camera. that would be the perfect travel camera!

Hi Roman what a nice video and beautiful place to spend time together! Skip the vlogging, take photos and enjoy 😂. Great captures as usual. I was wondering can you elaborate on the processing part? Do you use presets to create a certain look and feel or is it one of the film simulations? The colors look so vibrant, however it is not just Velvia I suppose. Cheers from Holland!

[@Jidccruz]

As for General zoom for travel, I can say the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 is one of the best, if not the best, travel lens given it's size, weight, and constant f2.8 aperture. I would like to see your perspective with that lens if you happen to try it. Love you vids, keep it up!

[@Tharrel]

Honestly, when it comes to it not being wide enough for some things, my iPhone usually does the trick. While smartphones are horrible zoomed in, for me they are perfectly good wide.

[@NDakota79]

You do own the X-T5 with the 27mm pancake lens which is a quite compact setup. Is it worth it in your opinion to get the X100VI too?

[@Mamo878]

Depends on your budget and GAS level. If you could just have one of those two cameras the X-T5 is far more versatile. It’s an amazing camera, still pretty small and can do pretty much anything. Plus, you can actually buy one!

[@snapsbyfox]

if I had to only keep one it would be the XT5 without a doubt

[@NDakota79]

@@snapsbyfox I already own the X-T5 with several f2 primes and the 27mm f2.8 as well. But the GAS is telling me I should maybe get the X100VI as well… It’s so sexy

For me the X100 line feels too flimsy. At a distance, they look beautiful. But, in the hand, they're not for me. The XT3 with the 35mm f2 is light enough and feels more substantial in use (for me at least). Great video as always and beautiful photos.
