Happy to help!

Thank you!

I believe that - it’s a really small body so I’d imagine video would result in quite a bit of heat. I use it for stills only, so I haven’t personally had any overheating issues regardless of how fast I burst.

Thank you!

Definitely one of my favorite spots

Happy to help! It’s still an expensive camera, but in terms of value that it offers, it’s very hard to beat. Super reliable too! Happy shooting 📷

You’re welcome!

My favorite settings are setting it to A mode and auto ISO, with center AF. That typically brings a solid user friendly result.

That's a good point too, great to have a macro camera in your pocket.

This cracked me up. Noted lol

I was tempted too, but I ended up going for the XPro3 instead. Works exceptionally well with M-mount lenses. Lacks a mechanical rangefinder, but the digital rangefinder is wonderful. Part of why I didn't want to go with a Pixii is that it's a crop sensor camera - if I was going to pay that much, I'd prefer full frame. Hoping to try it some day though as it's a really interesting camera!

Do it 👌

I’m pretty sure only RUclipsrs forget their memory cards 😂 Viewfinders aren’t cheap because they still require solid build quality and good glass to make. They will also outlast your camera by decades. I bought a GV1 ($150) to pair with an M3 rangefinder, which only had 50mm frame lines. Works like a charm for 21/28mm. Similarly works incredibly well when I got this GR3. Even better because you can turn off the screen and use it as an optical point and shoot device. Truly changes the experience of the GR3 in a fun way.

It’ll be a breathtaking experience, I’m sure 👍

Thank you for your feedback! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂

Happy to have helped! It’s a pretty unique camera that just so happens to fit perfectly into any kit and complements bigger gear very nicely. I also pre ordered the fujifilm but I don’t see myself ever selling this thing. The x100vi still can’t compete on size and pocketability. No one questions you when you’re out shooting with this, but they definitely will when you have a Fujifilm or Leica (is that a film camera???).

@@legendofthecamera the Leica Q2 is a digital camera.

Yeah, while it's an iterative improvement (nothing groundbreaking or unique, only bringing it in line with the XT5), it's still a pretty major as an upgrade and will no doubt add tremendously to the usability and fun of this camera. Enjoy!

Yep, much room for improvement indeed.

Yep, personally hoping for better build quality for future iterations too

Thank you sir!

Shiba thanks you for the compliment 😂

It's the opposite of compact and I don't think it's commonly compared. But the user experience of the GFX50s is honestly pretty poor in my opinion. It's a first generation MF product and feels really slow and clunky to use for anything other than static scenes in good light, whereas the X100V is pretty much the opposite in its usage, plus it's almost pocketable too. I'd imagine given $2000 to spend, one would absolutely lean one way or another rather than be on the fence for these two.

Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad I was able to help!

It’s not a tough camera, which is unfortunate given the demographic it’s catered to. Still, it’s the best in class, which is less of a praise to the camera itself and more of a criticism towards all the camera companies for not doing better on this front, given the current state of technology.

Glad you like it!

Did you keep it in the end?

I highly doubt they are more reliable than a Z9 or A1, but they have much more luxurious build quality to them, which is part of their draw.

It’s always nice to have options in the kit, switch it up if it gets boring so you can still get creative 🙂

If you had to keep only one option, would it be X100V or X-T30 + 27 f2.8 ? Still doubting between both. I already have a X-T4 + 23mm 2.0 but looking for a smaller case as "every day" camera.

@@NayveYT that’s a great question and very hard to answer, it would have to be the X100V. But to be fair, while the X100V is the best camera I’ve had, I do really enjoy using the 18 f2 and and 27 f2.8, but for simplicity and sophistication nothing comes close to the V, it’s no.1 Edit, I am a frequent Fuji forum member, since 2015, and there are a lot of really fine people and excellent photographers who have commented that my images are far better since I got the V, and I think they’re right, I carry it more so get more opportunities. I get a buzz from using it, bit like a hunter, except not hurting any animals 😁 Just so you know, my main photography is landscapes, hiking and social / family images. Image quality and portability are no.1 for me, but user interface make this camera special.

@@McConnachy Thanks for the answer. Rumors are saying the next X100 might be announced early next year. It doesn't help me :D

@@NayveYT you are welcome. I think the new one will have a 40mp sensor, maybe another film simulation, but any camera in the X100 range is going to hold its value quite well. My impression is Fuji are extremely smart at marketing and they are using the X100 range in a Leica direction, so they will never be cheap. The X100V produces brilliant images, the rendering is fantastic and they can be pin sharp. I don’t think you will go wrong with a purchase now. The next upgrade will probably be closer to a Leica price tag, but that’s me guessing.

They didn’t change much about the form, but the latest generation always comes with the fun features. I’d imagine they’ll come out with the newest gen soon, which will end the crazy inflated prices on the V.

@@legendofthecamera Exactly! Maybe then we have a better chance to get a hold of a v!

It was originally cheaper, but they raised the MSRP by over 10% in the past year, making it more expensive. I personally wasn’t willing to pay the current price, so I bought mine used in great condition, which made it an excellent value. I’d recommend that route if you like the camera but find it overpriced.

Agree it is overpriced, I’d happily pay that if they addressed a couple of things.

I wanted to buy it last week…January 2024 But like you said..it’s so expensive for a compact shot….ermm I don’t think I wanna pay for the Brand New price…😢😢😢

Like he says in his review, it’s all the professional features and such a tiny package that make it valuable. I brought mine on a road trip a couple years ago and the quality of the images are just fantastic and it’s so tiny. It fits right in my pocket.

You are gettin aps c sensor, body and lens for 1k. It's okey even is a good price

You're welcome!

I prefer 28 due to its versatility for capturing everyday life. That happens to be the prevailing context for when I reach for this camera. That’s just my personal preference though.

@@legendofthecamera Thanks!!

I’ve had the xt20 before - it’s a very different camera from the X100V and I personally wouldn’t recommend it as an alternative. Ergonomically, it lacked quite a bit in comparison. I’m only recommending cameras that offer a similar level of experience within the broader category of luxury point and shoots.

@@legendofthecamera ah ok that makes sense. The two cameras don't look quite the same. The X100v definitely is a bit more stylish and a few more features - hence all the hype. But in terms image quality there is no difference.
