You all prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would love any tips you can give me
I agree with you! It doesn't matter if it's a X100 S T or F there's nothing like it and it's the best I ever had to carry around with me at all times. Thanks for the video and have fun!
Picked mine up in brown a few weeks ago. Perfect for family events, travel and car show photos. I'm super fond of the Acros film simulation and R/G/Y filters. I almost got a Lumix 100 Mark ii, but the allure of the fixed 23mm took me back to my film days.
Andrew, thoroughly appreciated your views and enjoyed your insights on the X100F. I personally love the camera as well. But your baby is the real enchantment here. All the machines in our lives are nothing but a fraction of the splendor of life itself. Thanks for your video.
I couldn't agree more. I own a lot of cameras of different brands and hands down my all time favorite shooting experience is with the X100S. I'm waiting to see what's up with the upcoming one having resisted the X100F. If had to choose one camera for the sheer joy of shooting there is no other choice for me. I'm looking forward to seeing where they take this (hopefully in the same size and form as the long line of X100s)
curious as to the next one as well. battery hatch and weatherproofing are my main issues. but other than that, i expect the usual speed/battery life. improvements
I have a X70, the little brother to the X100, and love it, too, for many of the same reasons. But, if I could only own one camera, it would be the X100. It is a fantastic all around, every day camera.
I really like the F but am intrigued by the X70. Nobody seems to know if it will come back or not. Seems like would be a good idea to compete with the Ricoh gr3. Great video!
Andrew H. Kim if you plan to visit Paris, I’ll be happy to let you borrow mine ;) Except for the new sensor/processor, the front setting wheel, ISO crown and the joystick, the T is as cool as the F and produces the same kind of nice looking picture in-camera !
I have to completely agree with Andrew. For the number of extras this camera has in such a small size, it is amazing. If you are on a budget you are probably not carrying an actual camera with an actual sensor around anywhere. I have several Fuji at this point and absolutely love my 16mm f1.4, but it is not an "all the time lense". Hiding the 23 mm lens inside this camera is brilliant. Sony RX series, GRiii, and Canon have alternatives, but smaller sensor or no viewfinder options. A lot of the price here is the hybrid viewfinder. I wish Fuji would make one of these with monochrome sensor and trade out the hybrid viewfinder for cost reduction.
Talking about size, it is not that small. No doubt the image quality is quite good, I would prefer a much smaller camera like the Lumix GX9, the Canon M100 or perhaps the Lumix LX100 Mk2. For my everyday use, I still prefer my Oly TG4 which has performed incredibly well in all weather condition.
Yea, not the smallest, but when you're used to lugging around a DSLR or larger mirrorless, it's definitely in the small category. And yes, the the Fuji could use weather sealing for sure!
Really nice video and good points there! Thank you, Andrew! It could be interesting to see more videos with this camera on the field. Just more about the process of taking pictures.
I've been planning on buying a ranger finder style camera for sometime now... like 5 years... but this camera is the one I did the least amount of research on... I saw maybe like 2 reviews on it from youtube, and I was sold. I was it was on sale at Amazon with a bundle of other accessories I wouldnt like.. or need... so even though id be paying more money.... i walked into my nearest Samy and bought it! I was very happy with my decision. I've found I take more photos throughout my day with this strapped to my wrist than with another PS or SLR rig.. I usually shoot with a center weighted focus... but i'll have to try the wide focus you mentioned. great video!!!
A fresh, honest approach. Well done, Andrew. Subscribed. I own an X-T20 paired with a 35mm f2. Love it, but I keep thinking if I should buy more lenses. I'm considering changing to a x100 to limit my gear but enjoy it more.
Love the video and information you provided. I just recently ordered the X100F. Excited to get it. Your videos sold me on it. Thank you for all of the insight. Keep up the great work. You just got a new subscriber. 😄
Impressed with the leaf shutter lens. For $1300, it's pretty darn nice. Picture quality looks great. I love my Panasonic GX8 which looks similar to that but is an ILC. Which I prefer. To each his own. Well done video.
I think option 2 applies to most people who buy these cameras, I'm sure there are genuine photographers who use them to their full potential but I've seen many sat on tables in trendy coffee shops. (Have to say though it's more of an issue with Leica users than Fuji:).
Exactly this. I shoot film exclusively but the presence of physical iso/shutter dial and aperture control on the lens is what attracted me to this camera. Would seriously consider one of this if i ever decide to get a digital camera in the future.
I'm selling off my xt1 n bunch of other great Fuji lens, just to get the x100f. My baby is coming soon, so I have the same thought of having a perfect daily camera that goes with me everywhere and capture the life we been through. I know I won't be bringing a big camera , once I need to bring all the baby stuffs , milk, diapers, stroller on any outing. I hope I made a right choice when looking back my photos in years to come.
We all did the same 🤣 my boy is 9 mo today and I bought the X100 mainly to be able to have it with me and shoot him and his Mom at all times. And it works (I also use the X-pro1, an old but amazing camera too).
My wife is about to give birth to our baby daughter (our first) in a few days and I found a lightly used X100F for sale. Due to the COVID pandemic I am stranded in Korea (my wife's home town of Busan) while my camera gear is back home in London. Came across you when searching for reviews of the camera. I think you have sold me on this. I wish I can capture happy memories of my wife and daughter together in the coming months and years :)
@@andrewhkim Thanks! A consistent theme I am gathering from well meaning friends and family is1) it will be like a tornado through your house, nothing will be the same as before 2) it will fly past in a blur 3) you will miss it when its gone. I hope to have some photos of this very special time purely for me my wife and our baby when she is older. I feel like you might have some advice to share, so if you are looking for a video idea, this might be one!
My god, I really to buy this camera again. Like you, years ago I was a big fan of bokeh. Now it’s not important anymore to me. Thanks for the video. Can you make one about your anamorphic lens? What model it is?
I have the Sony a5100 and when you pair it with a pancake lens or even the 16-50 PZ kit lens it is smaller. It does not have a view finder but it is also a lot cheaper and can still be paired with other lenses.
Honestly, who can believe that there's a daily camera that could suit anybody ?? Personally I prefer a 50mm focal lens. And if I had to buy a Fuji with a 23mm, I'll choose the XE3 + 23 F/2 rather than the X100F.
Nolan-esque 😆. Sorry about that. Just trying to cut away a lot of umms and ahhhs. Hopefully as time goes on, the better I get, the less I have to cut. Thanks for the sub!
@@andrewhkim lol, nothing to be sorry about. At the end, those "umms" and "ahhs" are part of you and I'd rather have those and feel a more natural vibe than this method that is becoming popular among RUclipsrs as a way to keep people "entertained". Your videos I can watch them entirely without any headaches, and content is always good, so... (Y)
Well, to be short ... X100 WILL BE the best daily cam ones Fuji FINALLY makes it *WEATHER-SEALED* and redesigns a generation FIRST lens in order to fit weather sealed body. It has to be a better performed lens for sure! I'd even love it to be a compact 24-50mm zoom, but very well performed (in 35mm film dimensions). Till then it's just a very good one, not the best! _PS. I'd rate AF speed to be OK+ rather than VERY GOOD_ With 24-50 it will be the only camera I do need for daily use) PPS I can't get rid of an idea that X100 is over priced by Fuji.
I like the look of the Fujifilm X100 series. The price of X100F is way too expensive for me. I can get a full-frame mirrorless body around 2k. In terms of daily use, I think smartphones can get the job done. I bought an used X100s with a leather case for 330 Canadian dollars, and I love it.
The F is coming down in price, especially on the used market. No where near the $2k price mark. But while there is a lot of overlap, the X100 series can get different results that you can't get w/ smartphones.
Finally! Somebody tells me what the best daily camera is. I was so waiting for this because I simply could not work that out for myself. Thank You so much. All my Nikon, Pentax and Leica gear goes straight to eBay and I will happily purchase this wonderful X100 F. I am still looking fort he best daily hot shoe though. Any ideas?
Might I suggest not letting things bother you so much? Your sarcasm has less to do with this video, and more of a manifestation of deeper issues. Cheers mate.
I bought this camera mainly for capturing family moments, it is so good for this purpose. Interesting to see it on taking videos which I rarely do. Could you share the setup for taking video? And how do you transfer it to the phone for sharing?
Amazing for family shots. Video is basically the same as stills in terms of the look. Just switch to video and shoot! Next video will show my settings. But a bit busy atm. For transferring files to the phone, check out some other RUclips videos. They’ll show you how!
You have a beautiful family..you are blessed. After much research I purchased a Fujifilm X100F camera yesterday..fell in love with it when I examined it at the store. I have two questions though: can I set the lens aperture myself with the camera set for auto operation? I prefer to have some control over depth of field. Also: is there a way I can put a protective filter on the lens (equivalent to a 'UV' or 'haze' filter like I use on my 35 mm film SLR lenses?) Great camera look forward to learning how to get the most out of it.
Thanks, Thomas. Glad you're enjoying the X100F! Yes, you can get the JJC Lens Hood (amzn.to/37quEcZ), which you can screw on a 49mm UV filter (amzn.to/2ZCwHrR). You can then choose the keep the lens hood part on or off. I started w/ the hood on, but then eventually took it off b/c the UV filter was enough for me. Regarding the aperture, yes, you can set the aperture on the lens, then put ISO and SS to auto. This gives you "aperture priority".
hi! im interested in this camera and my only concern was that the fixed lens was not wide enough but I really liked your sharing of stitching the several photos together. I never knew you could do that! thanks!
@@andrewhkim is this stitching process strictly done with this camera or is this something you can do with any? Also how is the stabilization when making videos? Thanks a lot!
Abi can you tell us which options you choose for image quality? Like Color +2, sharpness +1 and so on? Your pics seem so good to me. I have the same camera but nowhere near your quality.
Sub for ya mate great vid I love this cam bought a used x100 that had the sab issue but despite that I loved the cam went to the T now on the F I shoot a full canon dslr kit for the paper so this is soooo liberating on my own time and projects. I used it for street portraits travel and landscapes the majority of the images on my chan feature images made with this camera. I really can’t fault it. 📷✊️
Andrew H. Kim thanks mate appreciate it. In all honesty I’ve used all manor of cameras dating back to my first zenit and this lil Fuji never ceases to amaze me. Add a flip screen to the next model to save my knees and I’m in 📷✊️
Really interested in this camera. I've been shooting big bulky digital cameras for years and black and white 35mm off and on. The small size of this camera and the film filters may be a good way to combine both of those
well done video. nice pacing and interesting points. I love my x100s but my ricoh gr gets that much more use simply because it fits into my pants pockets.
The Ricoh Gr3 also has built in ND. I have both the X100F and the Gr3 and still keep the X100f mostly for the 3d look I get at F2 indeed. But if I really had to keep one ....
@@andrewhkim You might fall in love with the snap focus feature, I did and I miss it on the X100F. Really, the gr3 does not have the looks (I get much less attention for street photography) but it rocks (including its flaws)
I tested out the GRIII but it's too far away from a (traditional) photographer's experience in my opinion and there were too many things I missed so I didn't enjoy it that much. Now I liked that it's discreet (but so is the X100F) and the image quality (not superior to the X100F though).
I've been using my classic X100 for a few years and I like the points you make. The key point you made for me is the AF, compared to my classic, which searches around a lot for the focusing points, I think I'll just upgrade to the F. The only gripe I really have with this camera, is that it isn't weather sealed as I like to go traveling around and this camera makes it so easy to bring it around compared to lugging something like a 5d. What are your hopes for the next iteration for The X100? I've heard rumblings that it may come in around 2020
It has touch screen display? Does it produce good bokeh effect? can we chance lenses?this is just like a regular camera basically even there a couple phones out there that takes pictures even better than X100F like Google Pixel for example, Fujifilm X100F makes people feel attracted for design causes definitely it looks gorgeous kinda old camera that’s all
Been doing mostly video lately using Sony A7R3, which is also great for stills. Rent bigger if I need. But I’ve also delivered X100F files as well. So I guess it all depends on the situation. 🤷🏻♂️
I give it up for the lens, but it is still a good camera overall. I'm not the type of person who values image quality the most but the lens from this and the xf23 f2 are a bit disappointing to me, The latter is at least fast for focusing though. It is quite interesting to see fuji using modern tech from x100f to push such an outdated lens. I will wait to see if fuji will update the lens in the future.
Yes! it's still a relevant camera in 2019/2020, and I'm sure prices have come down on the used market. check out my IG for more recent pics w/ the F. for autofocus, it's set to Zone mode/ Face ON/Eye OFF. I have another video in the pipeline explaining my settings coming soon.
Haven't had a chance to play w/ one, but would love to someday. Aside from the different focal lengths, the pricing is obviously a big factor. it's like driving a nice car in NYC vs a beater...sure one is nice but stresses you out. whereas the beater car is a worry free experience while doing what it needs to do. not that i abuse my x100f by any means. it's just a worry free, but still nice tool. End of the day, everyone has different budgets...go w/ what you can afford, and if it turns out not to be what you want...sell and try something else.
Yes! I have a JJC hood from Amazon for cheap, along w a B+W UV filter. The hood has 2 parts (filter ring & twist on hood). I’ve stopped using the hood, but kept the filter on. Check the link in the description.
Suppose it wouldn’t hurt to wait just to see what they announce in the next month or so, as long as you have another camera to shoot with for the time being. Either way, you can get the V or hope for a further price drop on the F.
Baseline settings for me are Aperture Priority: •f/4 •Auto S/S •Auto ISO (200-12800, min 1/125s) •WB 5500K •Raw, but set to Classic Chrome for previews
damn i didnt know that there's aND filter on that small camera , do you know how many stops that ND filter is valued at ? like is the ND cutting 2 stops or 5 ? i was thinking if the H2 video camera should have a built in ND filter for video but thought that it would make the camera too big but seen it on this camera makes it seem more plausible very cool review, i personally would want to pick it up 2nd hand or see what the next gen of this camera would be.
ND Filter is 3 stops. Is there rumors for an ND filter for the X-H2? I think it's a lot easier to put one in the X100 due to the smaller, integrated lens w/ leaf shutter.
@@andrewhkim nope no rumors for the H2 just me having fun speculating and coming up with design ideas in my head haha. i see, makes sense that a smaller lens will be able to fit a ND easier than a body that has interchangeable lens.. though i wanna share/curious if camera companies could do what canon did where the body would use the shutter to close and protect the sensor while the user is taking off the lens/changing the lens. seems like a good idea to have the precision ??
i think the argument against the closed shutter would be that it would make it unusable if it does get damaged. where as the glass over the sensor is arguably "tougher" than the thin shutter curtain (which needs to be thin and light in order to move that fast). so then it would mean you would need a secondary, thicker protective plastic shutter...and by that point, why not just make it an ND filter? 😄
@@andrewhkim exactlyyyy if the H2 as a video camera would benefit to have an internal ND. which also be used as a layer of protection when changing lens.
The thing about the X100 series is that it’s often difficult to fully appreciate it until you’ve tried the camera body + multiple lens options route. It’s also typically not an ONLY camera. I certainly need more than just the X100F. But as a daily it is my most used camera. So with that said, if you need multiple lens options then go w the XT20. You can always sell/pickup/add an X100 down the road when the time is right. Either way there’s no wrong answer.
Such a satisfying video to watch. Straight to the point and no annoying music!

Had all the models of X100 and the F is suberb to use so simple to get awesome shots -love it!
Indeed! Haven't tried the first 3, but my guess is that the battery life and joystick are significant enough differences for me to want the F.
Oh my god, no B-roll no itchy music and has time stamp? you are just killing it
Subscribed because of the smooth and precise delivery of your point of view! Might get one for myself in the future
Thanks! It's a good camera to save up for!
Cool video. Thanks for the info. I got an X100F to take to Europe and have used it as my main camera ever since. I love it.
It’s the best!
I can't get out without my X100T, everything you said is true for this one as well (except the joystick) !
I'm actually curious to try the previous versions.

Well, to be short ... X100 WILL BE the best daily cam ones Fuji FINALLY makes it *WEATHER-SEALED* and redesigns a generation FIRST lens in order to fit weather sealed body. It has to be a better performed lens for sure! I'd even love it to be a compact 24-50mm zoom, but very well performed (in 35mm film dimensions). Till then it's just a very good one, not the best! _PS. I'd rate AF speed to be OK+ rather than VERY GOOD_ With 24-50 it will be the only camera I do need for daily use) PPS I can't get rid of an idea that X100 is over priced by Fuji.
Thank you for the video!!
😀
Thanks, a great video, subscribed🙂
🙏🏼
I like the look of the Fujifilm X100 series. The price of X100F is way too expensive for me. I can get a full-frame mirrorless body around 2k. In terms of daily use, I think smartphones can get the job done. I bought an used X100s with a leather case for 330 Canadian dollars, and I love it.
The F is coming down in price, especially on the used market. No where near the $2k price mark. But while there is a lot of overlap, the X100 series can get different results that you can't get w/ smartphones.
Finally! Somebody tells me what the best daily camera is. I was so waiting for this because I simply could not work that out for myself. Thank You so much. All my Nikon, Pentax and Leica gear goes straight to eBay and I will happily purchase this wonderful X100 F. I am still looking fort he best daily hot shoe though. Any ideas?
Might I suggest not letting things bother you so much? Your sarcasm has less to do with this video, and more of a manifestation of deeper issues. Cheers mate.
Takuan why so negative?
DUDE that wide stitched shot was SICKKKK!!! How do you do that???
just take a bunch of pictures in a row, then use stitching in Lightroom!
I bought this camera mainly for capturing family moments, it is so good for this purpose. Interesting to see it on taking videos which I rarely do. Could you share the setup for taking video? And how do you transfer it to the phone for sharing?
Amazing for family shots. Video is basically the same as stills in terms of the look. Just switch to video and shoot! Next video will show my settings. But a bit busy atm. For transferring files to the phone, check out some other RUclips videos. They’ll show you how!
You have a beautiful family..you are blessed. After much research I purchased a Fujifilm X100F camera yesterday..fell in love with it when I examined it at the store. I have two questions though: can I set the lens aperture myself with the camera set for auto operation? I prefer to have some control over depth of field. Also: is there a way I can put a protective filter on the lens (equivalent to a 'UV' or 'haze' filter like I use on my 35 mm film SLR lenses?) Great camera look forward to learning how to get the most out of it.
Thanks, Thomas. Glad you're enjoying the X100F! Yes, you can get the JJC Lens Hood (amzn.to/37quEcZ), which you can screw on a 49mm UV filter (amzn.to/2ZCwHrR). You can then choose the keep the lens hood part on or off. I started w/ the hood on, but then eventually took it off b/c the UV filter was enough for me.
Regarding the aperture, yes, you can set the aperture on the lens, then put ISO and SS to auto. This gives you "aperture priority".
I have one, I love it
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
hi! im interested in this camera and my only concern was that the fixed lens was not wide enough but I really liked your sharing of stitching the several photos together. I never knew you could do that! thanks!
Awesome! You don’t even have to do that many frames. You could do just 2-3 to get a little wider.
@@andrewhkim is this stitching process strictly done with this camera or is this something you can do with any? Also how is the stabilization when making videos? Thanks a lot!
You can stitch w images from any camera. No in-camera stabilization for video except whatever you do in post.
Abi can you tell us which options you choose for image quality? Like Color +2, sharpness +1 and so on? Your pics seem so good to me. I have the same camera but nowhere near your quality.
Nah... I'm happy with my x100t.
Great video 👍
Sub for ya mate great vid I love this cam bought a used x100 that had the sab issue but despite that I loved the cam went to the T now on the F I shoot a full canon dslr kit for the paper so this is soooo liberating on my own time and projects. I used it for street portraits travel and landscapes the majority of the images on my chan feature images made with this camera. I really can’t fault it. 📷✊️
Thanks for the sub! Yea, I can totally relate to that liberating feeling from the big kit. Will have to check out your videos as well. Cheers!
Andrew H. Kim thanks mate appreciate it. In all honesty I’ve used all manor of cameras dating back to my first zenit and this lil Fuji never ceases to amaze me. Add
a flip screen to the next model to save my knees and I’m in 📷✊️
Really interested in this camera. I've been shooting big bulky digital cameras for years and black and white 35mm off and on. The small size of this camera and the film filters may be a good way to combine both of those
well done video. nice pacing and interesting points.
I love my x100s but my ricoh gr gets that much more use simply because it fits into my pants pockets.
For sure much smaller. Would love to try it one day.
The Ricoh Gr3 also has built in ND. I have both the X100F and the Gr3 and still keep the X100f mostly for the 3d look I get at F2 indeed. But if I really had to keep one ....
Cool! Didn’t know that about the GR3. Need to get my hands on one.
@@andrewhkim You might fall in love with the snap focus feature, I did and I miss it on the X100F. Really, the gr3 does not have the looks (I get much less attention for street photography) but it rocks (including its flaws)
I tested out the GRIII but it's too far away from a (traditional) photographer's experience in my opinion and there were too many things I missed so I didn't enjoy it that much. Now I liked that it's discreet (but so is the X100F) and the image quality (not superior to the X100F though).
Great video man. Question for you. What size nick strap did you get ? Thanks
Thanks, Nestor! I ordered 27" a while back when 30" was the shortest. Looks like they have 26" and 28" options now.
good point man
🙏🏼
Thumbs up for Gordy Straps!
Totally!
8:04 BEAUTIFUL colours! Do you set your own profile in camera or work it in post?
Thanks! Mix of both. I have a custom action in PS that I use and tweak. But for quick and dirty, it's a mix of Classic Chrome & Filmborn/VSCO/Snapseed
8:00 How you edit those 2 photos, looks really great and like some magazine artwork!
Thanks! It's a mix of my own presets in LR, and some adjustments in PS.
@@andrewhkim Can we buy your preset?
I subscribed!
thank you!
For two years I made my living solely with the x100f. Great camera
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Daumen hoch für dieses Video !

Super explanation, please give us link for strap on your X100F. Tnx.
Thanks! Link is in description

I've been using my classic X100 for a few years and I like the points you make. The key point you made for me is the AF, compared to my classic, which searches around a lot for the focusing points, I think I'll just upgrade to the F. The only gripe I really have with this camera, is that it isn't weather sealed as I like to go traveling around and this camera makes it so easy to bring it around compared to lugging something like a 5d. What are your hopes for the next iteration for The X100? I've heard rumblings that it may come in around 2020
yea, i imagine the AF is a big difference from the original. latest i hear is the X100V is coming early 2020, and hopefully will have weather sealing.
It has touch screen display? Does it produce good bokeh effect? can we chance lenses?this is just like a regular camera basically even there a couple phones out there that takes pictures even better than X100F like Google Pixel for example, Fujifilm X100F makes people feel attracted for design causes definitely it looks gorgeous kinda old camera that’s all
the new x100v ..... will help to drive sales of the f, both great cameras
For sure!
Do you think the Fuji is better than the Ricoh GR iii?
not sure. haven't had a chance to try the Ricoh
Great video..what camera do you use for your paid work? If it’s not a Fujifilm camera, why?
Been doing mostly video lately using Sony A7R3, which is also great for stills. Rent bigger if I need. But I’ve also delivered X100F files as well. So I guess it all depends on the situation. 🤷🏻♂️
I give it up for the lens, but it is still a good camera overall. I'm not the type of person who values image quality the most but the lens from this and the xf23 f2 are a bit disappointing to me, The latter is at least fast for focusing though. It is quite interesting to see fuji using modern tech from x100f to push such an outdated lens. I will wait to see if fuji will update the lens in the future.
Great presentation style, great colours. But you're wrong, the best camera is the X100V. ;) I've subscribed.
Ya got me! 😆
needs a stunningly sharp lens in the next one
If you got one, you know that it already got a stunningly sharp lens.
@@LokkieF yep!! it sure does.
You got your wish. Eliminated that close-focus softness. Looks amazing, though I still wouldn't plunk down all that cheese just for the 100V.
I have owned the camera for over a year. And I do not agree with you that it is a light-weighted camera by any means. It can comparatively lighter.
Hi I am planning to get the camera.. would you still recommend this now? Also could you please let me know how you did set up your autofocus?
Thanks
Yes! it's still a relevant camera in 2019/2020, and I'm sure prices have come down on the used market. check out my IG for more recent pics w/ the F. for autofocus, it's set to Zone mode/ Face ON/Eye OFF. I have another video in the pipeline explaining my settings coming soon.
@@andrewhkim Just picked it up today..Just playing around with it and looking forward to your x100f settings video!!
what about the leica q original? What do you think of the x100v vs the leica Q for a day to day camera
Haven't had a chance to play w/ one, but would love to someday. Aside from the different focal lengths, the pricing is obviously a big factor. it's like driving a nice car in NYC vs a beater...sure one is nice but stresses you out. whereas the beater car is a worry free experience while doing what it needs to do. not that i abuse my x100f by any means. it's just a worry free, but still nice tool. End of the day, everyone has different budgets...go w/ what you can afford, and if it turns out not to be what you want...sell and try something else.
Loved the video! Really liked when you went off on bokeh. Ha, agree, very overrated!
haha pho sho!
May i ask what’s your film simulation settings for this camera?? I really want to create a retro look to my pictures
Andrew - curious what exact length strap is yours?
At the time I ordered custom length of 27". Looks like they now offer 26" and 28" w/o going custom.
How does this compare to the x100t and x100s for the experience ? And value ?
Haven’t tried those, but I’d say the battery life on the F is worth it alone.
Great insight. What length is your strap?
27"
can i get a clear filter and a hood for extra peotection for the lens from dust and shocks?
Yes! I have a JJC hood from Amazon for cheap, along w a B+W UV filter. The hood has 2 parts (filter ring & twist on hood). I’ve stopped using the hood, but kept the filter on. Check the link in the description.
Andrew H. Kim Thanks Alot now i have no worries to get it 😁
Should I get this now or wait for the X100V?
Suppose it wouldn’t hurt to wait just to see what they announce in the next month or so, as long as you have another camera to shoot with for the time being. Either way, you can get the V or hope for a further price drop on the F.
What would you say your preferred shooting mode would be for daily use?
Baseline settings for me are Aperture Priority:
•f/4
•Auto S/S
•Auto ISO (200-12800, min 1/125s)
•WB 5500K
•Raw, but set to Classic Chrome for previews
@@andrewhkim and what about focus do you use auto focus or manual focus?
Anthony Reyes check out my other video
ruclips.net/video/NSjVjPf6mWI/видео.html
No weather sealing :( Can live with prime lens and high price but not without dust and water protection
for sure there are better options if you need weather sealing
damn i didnt know that there's aND filter on that small camera , do you know how many stops that ND filter is valued at ? like is the ND cutting 2 stops or 5 ?
i was thinking if the H2 video camera should have a built in ND filter for video but thought that it would make the camera too big but seen it on this camera makes it seem more plausible very cool review,
i personally would want to pick it up 2nd hand or see what the next gen of this camera would be.
ND Filter is 3 stops. Is there rumors for an ND filter for the X-H2? I think it's a lot easier to put one in the X100 due to the smaller, integrated lens w/ leaf shutter.
@@andrewhkim nope no rumors for the H2 just me having fun speculating and coming up with design ideas in my head haha.
i see, makes sense that a smaller lens will be able to fit a ND easier than a body that has interchangeable lens..
though i wanna share/curious if camera companies could do what canon did where the body would use the shutter to close and protect the sensor while the user is taking off the lens/changing the lens. seems like a good idea to have the precision ??
i think the argument against the closed shutter would be that it would make it unusable if it does get damaged. where as the glass over the sensor is arguably "tougher" than the thin shutter curtain (which needs to be thin and light in order to move that fast). so then it would mean you would need a secondary, thicker protective plastic shutter...and by that point, why not just make it an ND filter? 😄
@@andrewhkim exactlyyyy if the H2 as a video camera would benefit to have an internal ND. which also be used as a layer of protection when changing lens.
Fujifilm X100f or Fujifilm XT-20, what's your opinion. Thanks a lot!
The thing about the X100 series is that it’s often difficult to fully appreciate it until you’ve tried the camera body + multiple lens options route. It’s also typically not an ONLY camera. I certainly need more than just the X100F. But as a daily it is my most used camera.
So with that said, if you need multiple lens options then go w the XT20. You can always sell/pickup/add an X100 down the road when the time is right. Either way there’s no wrong answer.
@@andrewhkim Ok, now i'm new sub ;)
