I totally agree. I owner x100v first then… purchased more “professional” XT4 … I reach for the 100v more often. It does everything pretty well. Thanks for the honest review.
Same. I also reached for the Leica Q and the M8. I sold the M8, Kept the Q....BUT.....as much as I love the Q, the X100V truly is the best camera for most people out there, the fact that it can fit in your pocket and is still fun to use , oh with a flash! really hard to beat.
Someone who sells their photos giving an honest perspective on things like in-camera cropping, conversion lenses, shooting JPG, and generally buying less gear. Refreshing.
I found God in the X100 series and 35mm Summicron ASPH v1. Such a thorough overview over the greatest value in photography, man. I really had no idea about the digital zoom looking THAT good. I'm so impressed.
This has been my favorite camera to pick up every day and go shooting with out of any camera system. I have only felt this way about my Olympus Pen F (also an amazing little micro four thirds). I always want to hold the x100v and it is by my side 80% of the day. I'm in love and I just got it less than a month ago. That is how a camera should make you feel. That's what makes photography fun and in essence will make you a better photographer because you will take more pictures. Everything you said is 100% accurate.
Nice video D. Haven’t messed with this line just yet, but your results speak for themselves. Speaking freely your result with all cameras you featured are great. Skill over gear.
As a Sony shooter currently (but zero loyalty, it's a tool not a religion).... I've been lusting for an x100V something fierce lately as an EDC camera and when I went to actually go buy one....sold out everywhere. The x100 range in general is on fire right now, going for almost double on ebay. I'll get one sooner or later. Cheers, and subbed!
Amazing! I remember how reluctant I was before buying my xt3 just because of the critics about Fuji autofocus, watching tons of youtube videos. When I started shooting I just realized how stupid that was. My xt3 is just like the part of my hand and my brain while shooting and I would keep it probably for ages.
Completely agree with this review! The other thing I would add is that it’s genuinely the most enjoyable camera I’ve used. And when something is enjoyable the more likely it is that one will take it out and use it
Thanks for a great real world view. And on your last point of expensive gear doesn’t mean professional -like the saying goes; it’s not what you have got but how you use it.
I own this camera and many more full-frame and Mf; I agree it is the best camera I have ever used . What would make this the perfect camera if it had ibis, then it's game over for the competition?
Top tip from Tudor Mateescu that not enough people know about - enable Sports Finder mode and you have a 40mm focal length as well! You can map that to a button also.
Great video 👌 I have an xe3 with a xf27mm wr lens but I miss the 23mm focal length!! And I’ve always been torn between the x100v 😳🤔 now you have me thinking again 😃 ??
The video on the x100v is also surprisingly good, even handheld in low light the auto focus is decent enough and the wide lens isn’t too shaky. Glad to hear your thoughts on the WCL/TCL lenses, may end up buying them if I can find them used
I almost completely agree, it is a phenomenal camera . One caveat, if you've already invested in an X-E4 and you put lens interchangeability over OVF you can understand someone have a slightly different point of view.
Jup totally agree with you. Best camera ever. Also love how well it is laid out. Everything can be controlled with one hand. Only have three minor complaints. One is the door for the usb port etc. I don't get, why they made the little corner you grab to open it stick outwards. Always pokes into my hand a bit. Would have been way better if the used a door like the SD card door on the x-t bodies. Q button colud use some more profile to it so you can push it better. And (and that one is a personal one) I'd much prefer it if the would inverse the direction of the iso dial. I get, they synced iso and shutter to go up (in number) in the same direction. For me it would have been a+ perfect if they had gone for effect in the same direction. Like turn this way to increase light. Turn that way to decrease. The way they have it it is contradicting for the shutter and iso dial and I often turn the iso the wrong way because I'm used to the shutter dial going one way. But those are actually minor gripes. I freaking love this thing so much.
Awesome video. I sold mine but will probably get one in the near future. Fuji is addicting. That why I kept one of my xt4's and all the good lenses 23,35,56,90,40-150,200mm I can't seem to sell it. Even though I have it up for sale I keep second guessing myself.
That's a super accurate description of the X100V! I wasn't to fond of the 35mm equivalent either! But now I'm almost opposed with it. Also got the WCL because I do love the 28mm. I used the digital teleconversion on that, which also gives you two extra "lenses". One is a 41mm and the other I can't remember..to tired after a night shift. Though I'm tired as f**king the V hangs around my neck, and will hopefully help me catch a nice scene in my way home from work via trams and buses. I agree with you whole heartedly. After 8 months of use, exclusively for 4 months, I can say that that camera made me grow fast and I still have a lot of features to still put into use. One minor issue I found with the ND-filter as that it really can throw of the AWB when you get the sun directly into the lens. Haven't seen that with the ND off. Same results with the native lens and with the WCL. Small adjustment to the angle and the very blue tint and flare vanishes. Just thought that it's the AWB that's get confused and haven't had the time to test out if it could be fixed if you set it to daylight or a set Kelvin yet. Would love to hear if you've experienced the same issue and what work arounds you have. Thanks again for all great videos /Robert
I am big fan of X100 series. I am looking for new X100 series with full frame sensora and leaf shutter. Or Fuji will make medium format with fixed lense in new form factor. It's time that Fuji should fight back with something beyond expectation. Something is totally new not just a minor upgrade.
I used Sony Aps-c for a long time and I got G.A.S... I came across this camera the X100V and by far it is my favorite camera. I never have to worry about what lens to take. I don't miss the Sony one bit. I thought the auto focus would be an issue but I may miss focus 1 out of 100 pictures (most likely user error LOL).
really great review, the best so far on this camera and I really appreciate the details and honesty. I've been trying to do the same on my channel (for watches) and people do appreciate the honesty for sure. QQ, how close to the subject (a watch) can I get with the x100V? i shoot with a Nikon D750 now but I cant drag that thing around all the time so need something when I am at a show or on the go. Thanks!
that subjective rant on the SD cards and at the end was quite aggressive, then I saw what hat you are wearing and it all made total sense, lol. just playin' with ya', haha, but something about those blue LA caps that changes peoples attitudes when they put them on... ANYways; I really want to upgrade to the "V" but my X100T is still going strong after seven years of use> the damn thing won't die and now it's not worth selling as a trade in option... one day I'll pick one up. Fantastic round up on this great camera.
I wish they were readily available to order lol. I want one as my side bitch to take with me to work and shit like that, but I may just rebuy the x100f at this point. I still have the adapter and half case for it anyways.
First off. Good video. Thank you for sharing. If you know how to use it right. The X100F still capable of producing amazing images blah blah blah about the soft Lens to me it adds to the charm of the camera . It’s not a deal breaker. Photography is to capture life as it unfold not a porcelain doll. . About weather sealing in camera I call that BS. There’s no such a thing. Is all a marketing strategy to get you to pay more money. I had my X100F wet a take the battery and card out that’s is is all good. I do have a hood with a filter. On it Get an F you won’t regret it. Let photography be what’s suppose to be. Not perfect to the eye of the beholder. Just Life.
I have an X100V and love it. However it is NOT a wildlife camera. In fact it's not really suited to quite a few things really. What it is is a modern equivalent to the film camera your parents had, back in the 60s and 70s. Those beautiful 35mm German cameras. A fixed lens and a brown leather case. They are "Documentary" cameras, be that Street photography, family life, and general "snaps". The X100V is just about the perfect evolution of such cameras and I waited for 5 versions before I thought they'd nailed it. If I could wish for just 1 thing more it would be image stabilisation but it's a very easy camera to hold still. I wouldn't class it as a portrait or wedding camera, because most people expect a different aesthetic than a 35mm perspective. It would make a good 2nd camera for a wedding though. Have an assistant use it to capture the event, rather than the main couple. Basically it's good at what most people buy it for. Documenting life and including some environment as context.
As in it’s easy to carry when backpacking or doing nature walks? Landscapes and trails? Do you only know about telephoto wildlife or watch the video in entirety? Lol.
The Q2 is just a better stills camera and anyone who has used both would agree… better/bigger sensor, better lens, better colours, weather sealing etc etc. Whether it’s better value for money is a different matter. You could probably get 3 100v for one Q2 and while the Leica is better it’s certainly not 3x better. It all just comes down to money and what you can afford, both great cameras but if you’ve got the cash go with the Q2.
Better colors? Nah. Colors are subjective and Leica colors are ugly. Weather sealing? It still gets dust in it? Bigger sensor? Yeah but unless you’re a talentless hack that doesn’t hold you back. Better lens? 100%! But the Leica Q2 still have a Bayer sensor and Bayer sensors suck in low light and artifacting which the Q2 suffers from. Grain pattern is crap and “scan” lining is pathetic for a camera that cost so much. As someone who has used one and owned a Q let me just tell you that your opinion is just an opinion, not a fact and that’s okay. But as someone who can afford both it sucks having a camera that is hindered in low light and shadows.
@@DeeRosa 100v is a great camera no doubt about it, I ended up keeping the 100f instead of upgrading. I also own a Q2 and the files out of it are just better by quite a bit, not sure what else I can tell you? We are talking about the Q2 here not the original version. You could perhaps check out the numerous comparison videos on here which all conclude the image quality from the Q2 is better. Your video contains no such evidence.
I can reference my own Q2 files if necessary and that is what I reference. If by better you mean more resolution - I suppose for you it is better! But since I don’t really crop in on images much and the largest print I made this year was a 24x36 from my X-Pro 3 I know that 26MP works for me and looks amazing. I also know that if I’m going to spend money on a high resolution camera I’d prefer fujifilms GFX lineup which can be had for less which I’ve loved using so far. If you’re talking about lens sharpness and quality yeah the Q2 has a better lens. But on Instagram or when I give it to a client to they care or notice? No they don’t. If you’re talking colors - no, I actually don’t like Leicas over-saturated color scheme. It looks like a Samsung phones images. But I can match any Fuji image to my Leica images. It isn’t hard anymore. Again, everything you may like is very subjective and the assumption that I DONT know what I’m talking about just because I don’t have the same conclusion isn’t true. I have files from a lot of Leica cameras: SL, Q, Q2, M10, 262 and I’ve even had a friend share his M8 v X-Pro 1 images to me once as a reference guide. I just think the X100V is better than the Leica Q2 and that doesn’t mean your purchase wasn’t a sound one. It just means that my opinion of the Q2 and it’s subpar sensor quality is different than yours.
@@DeeRosa respect your opinion of course but we’ll have to agree to disagree here. The fuji is certainly better value for money but it ain’t a better camera period. It’s also definitely not all singing and dancing as you make it out to be. Very good everyday 35mm carry/compact point and shoot but you’re not going to see photographers using these on the sidelines of the Olympics, in bird hides for wildlife or on tripods for serious landscape etc etc. The Q2 isn’t even my favourite top 3 cameras I own to be honest so it’s not even a pride thing. You’re right about the GFX I own the 50R and that’s also a better camera than the 100v
I think the 50R is a better camera than the Q2 and the M lineup. Digital medium format just gives you so much more for certain uses than a small sensor like FF or APSC. True. I won’t be using the X100V for that all the time but the fact that I DID is still a big point. However the same can be said for your Q2. I made this point at the beginning of my video also - a lot of people wouldn’t use any Leica cameras, or Fujifilm, or Panasonic, etc due to the slower frame burst. So again, it’s all opinion.
It's an over hyped toy. I had one, but kept reaching for my xt3 with the 35 1.4 instead, or my zooms. It would have to be my only camera, for me to want to use it everyday. It also needs better autofocus, and a faster lens. F2 on 23mm is far too pedestrian.
Man they could Atleast through the adaptor ring in, even if they still make you buy a filter smh. I think we need to get out of the habit of calling cameras professional, more so is the person who is using the camera a professional!
Why are you so pissed you have to buy an adapter so it can be weather sealed? So its cool to pay 9500 dollars for a black and white Manual Leica, but God forbid Fujifilm asks for a 30 dollars adapter to WEATHER SEAL your camera, which is awesome. Ridiculous complaint. You can choose Not to buy it and not weather seal it you know. Would you rather it not have the ability to be weathersealed? Absurd.
Far from it but… whatever tickles your pickle. My Z6 is a better camera and my Ricoh GR III is lighter and even more portable. I still LOVE my X 100 V but overkill statements do not help.
Sorry the video hurt your feelings. Maybe I’m just better with the X100V than you. I look forward to your video though - I’ll keep an eye on your channel and can’t wait to see your images.
@@DeeRosa not at all, your snapshots aren’t anything extraordinary so it’s obvious that the X1’00V is not doing much for you… that’s why you should stop those click bait videos and find a real job instead.
No it sounds like the video hurt your feeling considering you won’t show me your work (it’s probably ass). Just because I’m a better photographer than you and can get better images in places that you can’t sniff because you’re ass doesn’t mean you have to get hurt. Poor baby.
I did watch it. No need to be rude. Amazing camera. It sure is versatile, as are many cameras with a 35mm equiv prime on it. It’s just a terrible recommendation for wildlife.
Where was I rude? When did I say it’s great for wildlife? Lmao who’s stupid enough to use this for wildlife only after watching this video. You’re the only person who’s cried.
I totally agree. I owner x100v first then… purchased more “professional” XT4 … I reach for the 100v more often. It does everything pretty well. Thanks for the honest review.

you are spot on man. Made you for youtube not like these "influencers". X100v is a cult classic. Fuji did great work.
I found God in the X100 series and 35mm Summicron ASPH v1. Such a thorough overview over the greatest value in photography, man. I really had no idea about the digital zoom looking THAT good. I'm so impressed.

That's what makes photography fun and in essence will make you a better photographer because you will take more pictures. Everything you said is 100% accurate.
x100v is gonna go down in history with some other great cameras as one of the best of it’s time. fantastic work 🔥
thank you for talking about the digital zoom, no body talks about it! and is such an underrated feature
Nice video D. Haven’t messed with this line just yet, but your results speak for themselves. Speaking freely your result with all cameras you featured are great. Skill over gear.
Another great and REAL camera review. Thank you.
Fabulous, no bullshit review.
“Yes, I can fight.
No, you won’t whoop me.”
Classic Dee! 😂
Keep up the great content! 👍🏻
Great video! Very thorough and excellent presentation. I own and love the x100v and learned a few things here. Thanks!!
As a Sony shooter currently (but zero loyalty, it's a tool not a religion).... I've been lusting for an x100V something fierce lately as an EDC camera and when I went to actually go buy one....sold out everywhere. The x100 range in general is on fire right now, going for almost double on ebay. I'll get one sooner or later. Cheers, and subbed!
Amazing! I remember how reluctant I was before buying my xt3 just because of the critics about Fuji autofocus, watching tons of youtube videos.

The best only x100v, great video
This one camera cured all my gas. I can't justify getting anything else because this is so damn good. Great video!
Im glad I subscribed to this channel you keep it real bro!
Thanks for a great real world view.
And on your last point of expensive gear doesn’t mean professional -like the saying goes; it’s not what you have got but how you use it.
X100V Gang
Good stuff again Dee! Appreciate your work.
I own this camera and many more full-frame and Mf; I agree it is the best camera I have ever used . What would make this the perfect camera if it had ibis, then it's game over for the competition?
Very nice! Now, if only we could buy one. These (like many things) can't be found anywhere. I hope supply catches up with demand.
Yes i can fight, no you wont whoop me !! That was classic 😁
Top tip from Tudor Mateescu that not enough people know about - enable Sports Finder mode and you have a 40mm focal length as well! You can map that to a button also.
“- Find God” had me in tears! 🤣 So true tho about “weather sealed”
Great video 👌 I have an xe3 with a xf27mm wr lens but I miss the 23mm focal length!! And I’ve always been torn between the x100v 😳🤔 now you have me thinking again 😃 ??
The video on the x100v is also surprisingly good, even handheld in low light the auto focus is decent enough and the wide lens isn’t too shaky. Glad to hear your thoughts on the WCL/TCL lenses, may end up buying them if I can find them used
I almost completely agree, it is a phenomenal camera . One caveat, if you've already invested in an X-E4 and you put lens interchangeability over OVF you can understand someone have a slightly different point of view.
Jup totally agree with you. Best camera ever. Also love how well it is laid out. Everything can be controlled with one hand. Only have three minor complaints.
One is the door for the usb port etc. I don't get, why they made the little corner you grab to open it stick outwards. Always pokes into my hand a bit. Would have been way better if the used a door like the SD card door on the x-t bodies. Q button colud use some more profile to it so you can push it better. And (and that one is a personal one) I'd much prefer it if the would inverse the direction of the iso dial. I get, they synced iso and shutter to go up (in number) in the same direction. For me it would have been a+ perfect if they had gone for effect in the same direction. Like turn this way to increase light. Turn that way to decrease. The way they have it it is contradicting for the shutter and iso dial and I often turn the iso the wrong way because I'm used to the shutter dial going one way.
But those are actually minor gripes. I freaking love this thing so much.
Awesome video. I sold mine but will probably get one in the near future. Fuji is addicting. That why I kept one of my xt4's and all the good lenses 23,35,56,90,40-150,200mm I can't seem to sell it. Even though I have it up for sale I keep second guessing myself.
Also great tip about zone focusing, must be nice to literally never miss a shot, especially in lower light
That's a super accurate description of the X100V! I wasn't to fond of the 35mm equivalent either! But now I'm almost opposed with it. Also got the WCL because I do love the 28mm. I used the digital teleconversion on that, which also gives you two extra "lenses". One is a 41mm and the other I can't remember..to tired after a night shift. Though I'm tired as f**king the V hangs around my neck, and will hopefully help me catch a nice scene in my way home from work via trams and buses. I agree with you whole heartedly. After 8 months of use, exclusively for 4 months, I can say that that camera made me grow fast and I still have a lot of features to still put into use.
One minor issue I found with the ND-filter as that it really can throw of the AWB when you get the sun directly into the lens. Haven't seen that with the ND off. Same results with the native lens and with the WCL. Small adjustment to the angle and the very blue tint and flare vanishes. Just thought that it's the AWB that's get confused and haven't had the time to test out if it could be fixed if you set it to daylight or a set Kelvin yet. Would love to hear if you've experienced the same issue and what work arounds you have.
Thanks again for all great videos

Great review, great advice.
I am big fan of X100 series. I am looking for new X100 series with full frame sensora and leaf shutter. Or Fuji will make medium format with fixed lense in new form factor. It's time that Fuji should fight back with something beyond expectation. Something is totally new not just a minor upgrade.
Yo Brendan Schaub, how'd you do the Digital teleconversion bruh? Is this offered in cam?? Or did you do it in post?
I had rough, disgusting intercourse with your mother.
I used Sony Aps-c for a long time and I got G.A.S... I came across this camera the X100V and by far it is my favorite camera. I never have to worry about what lens to take.

I have an F and I love it so much, I STILL want a V!
You don't need to do any settings for the ND filter. Just pull theOVF/LCD lever to the right for three seconds to either start it or finish it.
Hey there I disabled that because I used it for another function. Thanks!
really great review, the best so far on this camera and I really appreciate the details and honesty. I've been trying to do the same on my channel (for watches) and people do appreciate the honesty for sure.

For the WCL it's 28mm, 41mm and 58mm. I just checked it on my X100F.
Thank you!
I have the Lensmate and a Really Right Stuff plate and grip on my X100V - super-secure grip.
that subjective rant on the SD cards and at the end was quite aggressive, then I saw what hat you are wearing and it all made total sense, lol. just playin' with ya', haha, but something about those blue LA caps that changes peoples attitudes when they put them on... ANYways;

Fantastic round up on this great camera.
No idea what that means so I’ll take it as disrespect and it’s on sight now.
@@DeeRosa Easy there, it was just good ole fashion rivalry ribbing from a Giants fan to someone wearing a dodgers cap... its what both sides do.
I know man I was just joking lmao.
I wish they were readily available to order lol. I want one as my side bitch to take with me to work and shit like that, but I may just rebuy the x100f at this point. I still have the adapter and half case for it anyways.

I agree. leica is just too costly to be it's own niche. I shoot film and on my iPhone, if I switch to digital, i am getting the fuji.
the question is...how the hell can i get one? been trying for a year! lol
I have an X100V and love it. However it is NOT a wildlife camera. In fact it's not really suited to quite a few things really.

Basically it's good at what most people buy it for. Documenting life and including some environment as context.
Slip of the tongue - by wildlife I meant when you’re hiking and camping etc. so just chill tf out.
Too bad it can't go a bit wider than the 28mm, though I've read that the adaptive lens for the '70' may do just that.
X70 turns into a 21mm equivalent!
I love my xt 30 with 23 f2… pretty close I suppose. Still I want x100v.
Same sensor. Works just the same.
I haven’t seen it in the pics tbh … unlike the xh1 or even the xt30 which have stopped me in my tracks
I have no idea what this means… but I’m glad you have an opinion you share online.
Fujiflim have overimproved over the last few years. Get an X100s, used. When the company was just making magic.
my favourite camera of all time but wildlife....... LOL come on man
As in it’s easy to carry when backpacking or doing nature walks? Landscapes and trails? Do you only know about telephoto wildlife or watch the video in entirety? Lol.
The Q2 is just a better stills camera and anyone who has used both would agree… better/bigger sensor, better lens, better colours, weather sealing etc etc.

I have files from a lot of Leica cameras: SL, Q, Q2, M10, 262 and I’ve even had a friend share his M8 v X-Pro 1 images to me once as a reference guide. I just think the X100V is better than the Leica Q2 and that doesn’t mean your purchase wasn’t a sound one. It just means that my opinion of the Q2 and it’s subpar sensor quality is different than yours.
@@DeeRosa respect your opinion of course but we’ll have to agree to disagree here. The fuji is certainly better value for money but it ain’t a better camera period.
It’s also definitely not all singing and dancing as you make it out to be. Very good everyday 35mm carry/compact point and shoot but you’re not going to see photographers using these on the sidelines of the Olympics, in bird hides for wildlife or on tripods for serious landscape etc etc. The Q2 isn’t even my favourite top 3 cameras I own to be honest so it’s not even a pride thing. You’re right about the GFX I own the 50R and that’s also a better camera than the 100v
I think the 50R is a better camera than the Q2 and the M lineup. Digital medium format just gives you so much more for certain uses than a small sensor like FF or APSC. True. I won’t be using the X100V for that all the time but the fact that I DID is still a big point. However the same can be said for your Q2. I made this point at the beginning of my video also - a lot of people wouldn’t use any Leica cameras, or Fujifilm, or Panasonic, etc due to the slower frame burst. So again, it’s all opinion.
It's an over hyped toy. I had one, but kept reaching for my xt3 with the 35 1.4 instead, or my zooms.
It would have to be my only camera, for me to want to use it everyday. It also needs better autofocus, and a faster lens. F2 on 23mm is far too pedestrian.
Cool?

There you go.
@@DeeRosa x100v fanboys have to be the worst fujifilm users.
Cool?

There’s more.
@@DeeRosa how about a few more cookies, to match the number of your subscribers?
Sure.

Man they could Atleast through the adaptor ring in, even if they still make you buy a filter smh.
I think we need to get out of the habit of calling cameras professional, more so is the person who is using the camera a professional!
Why are you so pissed you have to buy an adapter so it can be weather sealed? So its cool to pay 9500 dollars for a black and white Manual Leica, but God forbid Fujifilm asks for a 30 dollars adapter to WEATHER SEAL your camera, which is awesome. Ridiculous complaint. You can choose Not to buy it and not weather seal it you know. Would you rather it not have the ability to be weathersealed? Absurd.
Why are you crying? That’s why your images suck.
Far from it but… whatever tickles your pickle. My Z6 is a better camera and my Ricoh GR III is lighter and even more portable. I still LOVE my X 100 V but overkill statements do not help.
Sorry the video hurt your feelings. Maybe I’m just better with the X100V than you. I look forward to your video though - I’ll keep an eye on your channel and can’t wait to see your images.
@@DeeRosa not at all, your snapshots aren’t anything extraordinary so it’s obvious that the X1’00V is not doing much for you… that’s why you should stop those click bait videos and find a real job instead.
No it sounds like the video hurt your feeling considering you won’t show me your work (it’s probably ass). Just because I’m a better photographer than you and can get better images in places that you can’t sniff because you’re ass doesn’t mean you have to get hurt. Poor baby.
meh...Ill stick with xpro3
especially with new 56 | 1.2
Wildlife on an x100v? Come on dude.
You didn’t watch the video before commenting did you. I literally address this. Lol.
I did watch it. No need to be rude.
Amazing camera. It sure is versatile, as are many cameras with a 35mm equiv prime on it. It’s just a terrible recommendation for wildlife.
Where was I rude? When did I say it’s great for wildlife? Lmao who’s stupid enough to use this for wildlife only after watching this video. You’re the only person who’s cried.
