Why the Fujifilm x100v is the most popular camera of 2023

[@mattih]

Who's on the Fujifilm x100v hype train??? Im a believer.

[@nathank957]

I've had it for over 2 years now and I still carry it with me every day.

[@jeffkaczmarek]

Thought about one pre-pandemic and now the fomo is real. Hoping to grab one one day!

[@bjoernpunkt]

Own the F (previous model) and its my goto cam since 5 years. Always in my bag.

[@Shogun996]

Just as a heads up for anyone who may not know, the x100v is definitely the hot camera right now due to TikTok and videos like this, but the film simulation is possible with every (I think) Fujifilm camera on the market today. I wanted an x100v but the fixed lens turned me off, started looking at the X-E4 but it was also getting crazy, ended up getting an X-T30 II and love it

[@WayneBretsky86]

My unpopular opinion is I didn’t enjoy the film simulations. Much prefer to shoot RAW and edit. But you’re spot on.

[@Shogun996]

@@WayneBretsky86 Totally fair, I shoot JPEG and RAW, if I don't like the film simulation I can take the same shot in RAW and edit it to where I like it

[@WayneBretsky86]

Oh man the X-T30 is so small and practical with Lens options. One of Fuji best choices ;)

[@gibmartinez3962]

I had the X100T. It was a great walk around, combined the Fujifilm Instax printer. You can wirelessly print a photo on the spot. Loved it! 👍🏼

[@johnnydee7480]

I bought mine used for $1100 on Facebook when it came out. Perfect condition too. I'm not selling, it's so much fun to shoot with, and the gems I get with family and friends are priceless. The major pros are a quiet leaf shutter, a built-in ND filter, and recipes. Great for beginners and Pros. This camera doesn’t intimidate anybody, and you get a better photo than a larger camera.

[@Antonio-tj9gc]

I bought mine in late 2020 in black. First camera ever and I’m still in love when I pick it up. The shots still surprise me too. Love the x100v

[@CodyStoner20]

If you shoot RAW+JPEG you can edit your photos in camera with the "Raw Conversation" setting in the playback menu. Had my X100V since March and still haven't opened a single shot in Lightroom.👍🏻

[@paulfournierphoto]

Man the new app changes the game. The old app used to be so hard to use and transfer the photos to your phone but now it's seamless! I shoot the X-T4 too. Way underrated

[@gdurso]

I second that about the app, it is sooo much better and it definitely changed the game.

[@RememberTheTrees]

I had no idea there was a new app, thank you for the info! Can't go wrong with that setup. My everyday camera is an X-T3 with the XF 27mm pancake.

[@MichielHeijmans]

New app’s awesome

[@cameronhanksphotography1801]

I got the X100F and V before all the hype. At the time it was an experiment as i was really into film photography but struggling to justify the costs of film and development, I read about the simulations "i know every fuji has them" but the fixed lens is what made me pull the trigger. I wanted something with the least amount of distractions ie: Gas for more lenses and then spending more time choosing what to bring on a shoot. the 35mm fixed lens challenged me and made me work for my photos and i really enjoy and feel rewarded from that that. In short, this camera makes me want to go out an take photos and i enjoy doing it. i use this camera more then my Z7 now.

[@babyboy1971]

I’ve been shooting Fuji professionally since 2018. Started with the XT2 and X100F, now I shoot with the XT5 and the X100V. I got lucky and got the V right before it went viral. I love it. The lens alone was worth the upgrade from the F. Massive sharpness improvement. I would love the X100VI but for now I’m super happy with my X100V. I just did a whole family shoot with it and it was flawless. Lovely little camera with insanely good results.

[@LarGist]

An extra sweetener on this camera is the leaf shutter (possible with the fixed lens) which gives an interesting new workflow to utilize the internal flash in harsh daylight since that supports up to 1/2000s shutter speed with full aperture

[@PaulsMedia2024]

And the 4 stop ND filter inside!

[@BugalooB]

I have an XE 2, had it over 3 years. I prefer it because I find the older generation sensor's are a little less predictable, also the price tag. And I can put on old lenses with an adapter, with focus peaking.

[@jim_bocho]

I’ve sold my X-E2 when I got my X100V but missed the look of the X-Trans II with vintage lenses, so I grabbed an X-T1 that was collecting dust in a local used camera shop.

[@star.trails]

I agree! I've had the X-E1 for 10 years and only shot in jpegs, the sensor on this is amazing. The old fujis are special.

[@CalebTackett]

Finally got my hands on one a few months ago and I love it! It goes everywhere I go.

[@Baka2D]

As someone who overpaid for one, you're exactly right. It's all in the nuance. Yes there's other small cameras out there, but do they have fuji's film recipes. Yes there's other fuji cameras out there, but do they have an OVF. I know not everyone cares about OVFs (and in that case go for an X-T30), but having film recipes that make the JPGs turn out great and an optical viewfinder means that I don't need to fiddle with ANY menus or digital screens. I leave the screen off, take a snap and move on, just like you would with film. Pair that with the V's ability to automatically send the photos taken to your phone (and have them automatically show up in your Google Photos app with proper dates and geolocations) and there is no comparison on the market.

[@professionalpotato4764]

I found the OVF distracting. The frame lines jump around when autofocusing to compensate for parallax. I wish it just slides to the new position instead of jumping around. To date in terms of OVF experience, nothing comes close to a vintage SLR or Leica. Also, the weird default setting of having the teleconverter tied to the focus ring. OMG that gave me such a headache. And I own the X-T4 thinking the menus should be the same. Oddly enough, both are X-Trans4, but the X100V has less jpeg settings than the X-T4.

[@patricklebby]

Bought one when it was first released. Such an easy camera to use for social and family pics.

[@paulfournierphoto]

You got lucky to jump on it right away. My biggest mistake...

[@GarrettWare]

X100V is great BUT Fuji really hasn't missed with their offerings since like 2015🤷🏻‍♂️ I still rock an XPro2 as a daily and it's has the SAWCE. Great video Matti! Much love from East Tennessee🙏🏼

[@JasonYadlovski]

Awesome Matti - I’ve been thinking about one of these to carry on family trips instead of my 5div. Love the 5DIV but the size of the Fugi is awesome. Thanks for the vid! 👍😜

[@FjodorvS]

For everyone who has a Sony mirrorless and would like to experiment with this as well, I found the built in creative looks (which have customizability too) to work very similar. I end up shooting RAW + JPG so if I want to I can send the photos to my phone for instant uploading to social media, or just edit the RAW files later.

[@sarcasticfpv]

what about non picture profile sonys havent found anything for them I am out of luck, right?

[@FjodorvS]

@@sarcasticfpv what camera is it exactly? Be sure to check for creative look, it’s separate from picture profile! I’m not sure on the details but I believe the original a7 for example doesn’t have pp, yet it still does have creative look!

@@FjodorvS its the a7mk1 from 2013. I am asking because I run into the same issue as Matti says usually I lack the editing time and end up just collecting the raws for the future lol so a raw+jpeg solution would be really handy Edit: and yes creative styles exist (std, vivid, neutral, .. ) but the question would be if there are already recipes :) for the older ones because i can only tweak contrast saturation and sharpness with them

Had the 100T but it was still too big for me, got the Ricoh GRIII instead and fell in love with the compact size and the simulations you can do with it!

[@professionalpotato4764]

Rented both the x100v and GRiii, bought the GR right after. The GR wins hands down in terms of handling, performance to size ratio, and more importantly how it doesn't get in the way. Oddly, the x100v had some weird settings like the focus ring was tied to the teleconverter? It was so frustrating to work things out (as an X-T4 user too). The jumping frame lines when focusing from near/far felt weird. Also IBIS. I will never buy a camera without IBIS.

[@ChristianTandbergMedia]

You can basically get the same look if bought actual vintage lenses, also for a fraction of the price. It would not look emulated because it would actually be old. Canon 17mm FD is a great choice + a variable ND + adapter. This will work with any camera, but in particular all modern mirrorless systems.

[@antant06]

I managed to find a x100f and snagged it almost 2 years ago. I’m amazed at how good the camera is!

[@TedBorel]

I had one when it came out in 2020 and really liked it. But then I sold it last summer (for a small profit) and later bought a Q2 - which I looooooove 😁

[@SeanSeesMedia]

If the hype ever dies (or fuji drops that vi) I will try to get a hold of any one of the xtrans 2 sensor bodies as I've heard a lot of people say that sensor has the magic sauce that produces amazing images with really aesthetic grain

[@professionalpotato4764]

Q2 is solid. I liked the IQ. Just wished the manual focus was better. It's a whole dimension apart from other brands, but still not as nice to manual focus compared to regular rangefinder or SLR lenses.

It completely replaced my aging X-Pro2 which was promplty put on the block. I have the WCL and the TCL but find them cumbersome and fuzzy to install. OTOH, the digital tele conversion to 50 and 70 mm is a superb feature that the X100T didn't have.

I bought my x100v the first week it was released and I never ever regret buying it. For sure it was weird to understand it after few years with Sony a cams. Then I got my xt4 as a advanced version of x100v and bunch of 1.4 lenses for it because 2.0 apsc sometimes made me crazy, but this little one was with me almost 3 years now and I captured the best moments. Sometimes I was wondering why all these people still using their x100t or x100s and I totally get it because I won't sell my x100v because it such a beast

Matti is a chef now with his recipes 😂

[@just_eirik]

I might be wrong, but color chrome makes shadows darker and a little more saturated. Color chrome blue makes blues darker and more saturated. Has an effect similar to a polarizer when you have a blue sky in your shot.

[@venom2k2]

I need to check if you are right with Color Chrome Effect, but if I am not totally wrong, it was about red colors? Now I am super unsure 😂 Edit: "Color Chrome aims to produce deeper colours and a wider range of tones in subjects such as flowers and bright landscapes. Traditionally, when shooting scenes like this in high-contrast conditions, colours can easily become oversaturated and look artificial. Color Chrome aims to fix this by reproducing high-contrast without over-cooking the colours." Straight from Fuji.

[@10jeach]

[@fauland_photography]

So cool, seeing Matti so hyped about a small little camera. Well, there's much more to it. I shoot Architecture and Cityscapes for a living for more than 10 years. What was Post-Production, processing RAW-files in the past is now "pre-production". Once I know what the client wants, I use FUJI film simulations (plus some of the extra parameters) and then the .RAF file I shoot in parallel is only the backup. The final works come sooc . Selection, sometimes minor corrections like removing of some unwanted object and done ! All X- and GFX-cameras work like this. For me it was a game changer ... :-)

[@ddwag1]

when showing sample photos, having a semi-transparent animation on top of the photos seems to defeat the purpose of showing the photos at all..? Wouldnt it make more sent to just show the photos without any animations on top of them so people can actually see the results of the camera?

Yeah, everyone is rushing the x100v when others like the xt-3,4,5 or other cheaper are pretty much the same with the possibility to change lenses. If you really want the fuji recipes and tweaking, just buy an 2-3 years old camera. Every fuji has them now

Fujifilm's film simulations have always been epic. Being an X shooter for many years now, I like many went down the rabbit hole of custom simulations and the array of film simulations out of the box. Nowadays I can't look past Provia with some minor adjustments in Lightroom. Different kind of gravy.

[@kurtlwrr]

favorite camera I've ever owned, take it with me everywhere

[@SL-jo4om]

As a Fuji shooter (and owner of the X100F) since 2018, the hype around the X100V is both understandable and weird at the same time. Weird as in 1) what took all of you so long? and 2) why the X100V specifically? I moved from Canon to Fuji in early 2018, initially thinking that the X100F would liberate me. It did do that, but mostly in terms of inspiration and workflow (i.e. shooting JPEG without the dread of needing Lightroom). While I still have and love my X100F, it is Fuji's smaller size, inspiring analog experience, and SOOC colors that I love more than any specific Fuji camera body (though the X-Pro3 is my favorite). I quickly ended up gravitating back to interchangeable lens cameras (though exclusively Fujis). I currently shoot mostly with the X-Pro3, which is more perfect than the X100V in all respects, except for the larger size and lack of leaf shutter (something I almost never need anyway).

[@saiyan_princestudios9790]

It’s such an amazing travel camera especially for photography. It’s just a few years old and I hope the next model has ibis and the xh2/xt5 autofocus improvements

[@MichaelFrederickPhoto]

I drank the Koolaid and got one Oct 2022. Was my 1st Fuji. I wanted to see what the buzz was all about. I shoot full frame for my portrait business. I wanted a camera that the recipes were so dialed in that I didn’t need to edit. Well, after 3 mths I became a HUGE believer in the Fuji system. I bought a X-H1 and 1 lens, which turned into 3 lenses. Wellllll. I loved the IQ, the size and weight so I did the unthinkable. I sold the X100v and X-H1 to fund a X-H2. I have to say the XH2 is my all time fav camera to use. I am using it 90% of the time for my shoots. There is a time and place for the Full Frame but for general person project/artistic shoots, Fuji is amazing !!!!! Is it perfect?? NOOO! Is this a DAMM GOOD system? Yes!!! I am now on a 2-3 yr plan to get a GFX100.

You can dial in a look on other cameras too but Fuji being a film manufacturer is the only one that has ready made film simulations.

[@2klember]

Nothing can beat my D3s and D4s.

[@Exploragrapher]

This is cool. If you set your recipe on one film simulation, does it affect the other film simulations? Second question : Does this recipe + film simulation also work the same way in the xt30ii and xt5? (I come from Canon and have no knowledge of Fuji, but very keen to get one to bring on holidays instead of my workhorse Canon)

[@sherice1730]

I love the hybrid viewfinder. My first interchangeable camera was mirrorless. I never realized what I was missing with the optical viewfinder and now I get it in a small package. As soon as I hear about an xpro 4 with fujis new auto focusing system, I’m getting one of those too

[@SL-jo4om]

To me, the optical viewfinder, used judiciously, is also a great "filter" for truly good subject matter and composition. In the EVF, a shallow depth of field or fancy color profile can mask a mediocre scene, while the OVF is unforgiving in that regard. Also a good way to train your imagination, forcing you to think how you want to see and show your subjects.

[@RickBebbington]

I've not used mine nearly enough, but watching this and looking back through my older images (I used to shoot everything on Fuji, now Sony), I'm getting pretty nostalgic for it. Might be tempted to go back to Fuji for all my photography shooting - I just don't get the same feel from a Sony.

OK, Matti, Lizzie Perce... who's next on discovering the Fuji 🙂 Oh well, I'd like to have this one and I had plans to buy it (while it was available), but every time I came back from a street shoot or whatever I was photographing, the images from my trusty Fuji X-70 are still amazing. This is a smaller camera with 18mm f2.8 and a bit older .everything, but all the sims are there, loads of customization - and - and, guys, no matter which Fuji you might get, go search for Kevin Mullins special settings (recipes..) because they are an amazing start to exploring the creative side of you. I've tweaked these a lot but ended up using like 80% of what Kevin set from the beginning. His work is impeccable, great website, fine newsletter.

I appreciate the good words you put for X100V, personally I own a Fuji X-30II which allows changing the lens. Using the pancake 27mm lens I (and many others) believe it is as good (and cheaper!). Still, many thanks for sharing your thoughts and great video (your channel is great!!). Regards from the Israel.
