If you REALLY want to be a photographer, THIS should be your first camera: The Fuji X100v.

My x100V will be a Fuji xe4. It cost less and interchangeable lenses is more versatile.

I would agree, but, good luck finding one in 2023, new. If you find one used, consider it and get the Preset Packs. I just purchased a X-T1 and will be shooting strictly JPG with the color film sims already in the camera with my 16mm lens. My X-T2 will be my more serious landscape body. Should I come across the X100V I will not hesitate to jump on it to carry it when I out traveling around town.

It's a tremendous little camera and I'd love to own one. But... It's just hard to be swayed by it when there's an x-pro3 that can be coupled with a pancake lens...or any other imaginable lens. I love that it exists, but I just think the hype is a bit over the top.

Dude! Get your head out of your gaming console! Theres a brave new world waiting for you!

I already have a D5300.

people. Dont get scamm by this. If you want to be a photographer just buy a camera by the budget and ghe comfort and shoot. Fuji x100v is overprice xd u can do THE SAME with a sony rx100. Its what it is.

i blame this video solely for causing x100v hype

10k bucks for this specific camera seems like a ton.

Ah yes for a beginner, definitely get a camera that's really hyped up and out of stock making you pay $2000+ in scalper prices.

Did I watch a review or a documentary…

Fuji can fire it's entire marketing team now. Just hire this guy

please stop

My first camera should be a 1400$ camera? Noted.

Damn dude ... it's only a camera, not a religious experience.

Please review Nikon Z6 - mark ii

An old film nikkormat with 50/1.4 would be a good way to start.,😂

Question: I thinks this camera ticks the box for me in many ways: Compact, fantastic output without editing, fun to use. However I really like to take videos as well and it is not stabilised. I don't mind taking a small gimbal with me. Do you think that's a dealbreaker and I should look for something else? (recommendations?:)) Is it fine and I will enjoy taking videos with it as well? Thanks a lot!

From what I understand, the issue with the leaf shutter at max aperture and shutter speed is the reason why they included a built in ND filter.

Have you jumped on to the Ricoh GR III bandwagon too? Or do you still rate the Fuji X100V? thx

Sold my X100V for the Pentax KP. Never been happier.

Just sold my 2 month old X100V for the Leica Q3. I'll get the next X100 variant.

Out of interest, what FujiXWeekly Recipes would you recommend or do you use? Your videos are amazing BTW.

Biggest bullshit ever😂

Thanks

Nah. Get a Sony a6000 and enjoy better lens selection.

Lol'ed a7 iv smokes this all day

Sadly more like "if you have tons of money to spare, this should be your first camera" - the prices atm are insane

I just dug out my old X100s and it produces astonishingly beautiful images. The light falloff is truly magical - especially in B&W. I have many of the latest Fuji cameras and most of their prime lenses but nothing matches the unique quality of the X100s. I know it's cliched to say this but it genuinely is like having an endless roll of film. No idea why I ever packed it away but now I'm hunting down the X100v. Fuji sure have created a masterpiece with the X100 series. I'd like to see a compact 50mp MF version with a 45mm lens - the X-MF100.

Buy yourself mint 5dm3 or 6d and be happy. Camera doesn't matter.

it was actually the x100s in my case, but not bad

Poor man Leica. But seriously it’s a great camera before jumping on expensive M cameras.
Always a pleasure to watch such a fine quality and hard work video as yours! The atmosphere is simply out of this world

Once again, good video but get rid of that stupid headset or whatever it is…it looks idiotic

I don't have a camera, but I always think that photography is fun.

Bruhhh, this camera is way too expensive!

You convinced me to get one. I have owned one since January. This has been my first actual camera. It has, quite literally, opened my eyes to a new way to see the world. It's been an incredible experience.

this video is just absolutely stunning

however I have to mention that the fuji x100v is an 1800 dollar camera (at least where I live) so i don't think it would be a good choice for a beginner

i understand sentiment but better i think to have full frame camera you can put native 85mm fast lens on for great portraiture with little compromise

What a fun channel! And what commitment to make them all have this cyberpunk theme!

I clicked because of the cover that's some art!

The real question is... which camera do you use for your videos? :)

....egaaaads! ....not available at a reasoable price...

too expensive to be my first one

is there a good budget versian of this camera?

Beware: So Thorsten Overgaard says always wear a camera and you said it was so easy to carry the x100v around. I believe everything I hear and read so I wore my x100s to the Atlanta Farmers' Market. Figured I would document some vegetables. Upon entering the building, I was immediately descended upon by several men who shouted that I could not take pictures in the market, and they herded me out into the parking lot. One hung around to make sure I did not reenter. Made me feel like I was a stranger in my own hometown.

DON'T BUY X SERIES! Pretty much every review forgets to mention that focus is criminally bad. Inconsistent, unreliable. Also complementary software is unusable. There is so much to love about the x series but focus problems ruin everything. I have an xt 30 and I will get rid of it asap for a nikon Z fc. Fuji is only popular cause of the film simulations but I got my hands on the presets, so fuck fuji and their unreliable cameras.

Thanks for inspiring me!
