3 Years with the Fuji x100v | Long Term Review

The video at the end was enough to convince me to buy this camera as a beginner. Not sure what it is, but the photos this camera produces are so nostalgic looking it's almost like it captures the energy of the time and place.

Nice photo section in the end. Really shows that the majority of money should go towards trips, not gear. Don't get why this video has 128 dislikes, it's one of the best photo galleries of the X100V

Your thoughts are exactly where I’ve been heading. The photos are so much better than the phone but that doesn’t mean I want to be a professional photographer. I just want to shoot life and enjoy the hobby of photography. Thanks for this

Got me feeling some type of way with the photos at the end. ❤

Subbed!

good luck trying to find something small with good ibis and video 😢😢😢im having the same problem

Absolutely wonderful. Could watch this over & over

I love my x100v

Watched this whole video and kept thinking to myself he should just buy a Leica.

I’m coming from ff Nikon with fast lenses, have a q2 which I absolutely adore since 2019. I’m looking into x100vi as a secondary (smaller than q2 cuz of pancake lenses) to take with me everyday. Q2 is heavy, brick like and not pocketable. You mentioned Ricoh, how does that compare to x100v in terms of ability and quality? I’m not interested in video but photos only.

Great video btw. Thanks.

Not buying a piece of tech because it's made in China is one the worst arguments I have ever heard. I mean... come on.

X100VI is right around the corner hehe

Merci, l’appareil d’une vie.

New X100VI seems to solve a lot of the issues you had, which are my issues too as a hybrid shooter. I want one camera for personal photos/video when I’m not working with my pro gear. I pre-ordered… we’ll see if the IBIS is good enough for decent video.

Awesome video. Reala ace looks fantastic, pre ordered mine,looking forward to it arriving.

Well good you sold it. 😂

If you love this camera then you will really love the Leica Q system. I captured way better shots when I got Full frame. Its like the x100v++

Had another question - you have a great handle on that focal length. Are most of those photos 35mm equivalent or the 28mm?

Hey great video. I actually own and shoot (for fun) with the x100v (and Sony a7IV) and I was watching this to convince myself not to go to the dark side and buy a Leica Q3. Partly because of the price of the Q3, but also because I really love this camera and feel like I have more time with it. I still find new great things everyday that help me enjoy it. The M is just too...much for me. And too expensive, with lenses etc. Did you ever consider the Q2 or 3? Last sequence of photos - awesome.

Thank you for such a long photo part. I paused many times and just sit there.

Saw on twitter you sold the C70. I'm curious if you still recommend that over the FX6? Have enjoyed your content on it. Wanted to see if any complaints arose after having it for a while.

First nice video, overall with this outro of 10 minutes of images...great! Second don't buy the M11...you are going to pay more for the name than the whole experience. M10 cost half and it works fine.

I've had lots of digital cameras, Sony, Leica m9, Fujifilm, including the X100V before all the hype. I sold them all. Now I only work with a Leica m6.
At some point, I find it pointless to try to replicate the look of film, if it's so good. It's really worth investing in film, you're more creative, you enjoy your work more, and it puts more people to work in the industry.

Real photo lovers know.

Great video, love your photos. Have you also considered the Sony ZV-E1? Small size and you can shoot videos and photos. BTW your link in description into shop isn't working.

Gotta ask for a video covering your thoughts on the upcoming x100vi in 10 days, vs the already out xt5 with the 27mm f2.8. Really hoping the new x100 has better resolution EVF/OVF and keeps the internal ND filter, the addition of IBIS and that 40mp sensor should be sweet though.

It's wonderful that you have such a long "photo" section in your video -- the best part!

Shame that Fujifilm had discontinued the X100 series camera range, along with the discontinuation of the X-E and X-Pro cameras too. The digital camera division was loss making for years, and is now focussed on the premium end of the market with the X-T, X-H and GFX cameras only.

This is beautiful. Thank you

Komodo x video ?👀

🔥

i bought this camera half a year ago and to this day i absolutely love it!!

Sony a74. Not pro. Great photos. Great video. Just one system.

I want this camera so bad, thanks for making this Thomas!

I hope the next x100 version will tackle some of your points. I agree on the size, really wish it was a tad smaller. Image stabilization for at least occasional videos are an absolute must in my opinion as well

Anyone familiar with the two…..is the xt30ii with pancake lens smaller than this camera?

Same vibe as me, i don't want to be a professional photographer, just want to register, nice video.

Now I want one again lol

Absolutely agree that it is nowhere near as small and compact as people make out, this was my main gripe with my X100F back in the day. I was actually looking at the ZVE1 and a small lens like the 40mm 2.5 or the 35mm GM and just doing loads of videos for my vacations and trips instead of taking photos, so I'm glad to hear you look back and feel a similar way. I was hoping to pick up a mju ii or T3 for a truly pocketable option for photo.

no need to sell . the build and ability of this camera will be used for atleast a decade. i could see it being worth thousands later down the road

oh man... stoked for this!
