I’m fortunate to own a Leica M and I genuinely think this is a very nice alternative! I especially like that lens. Cool bag too. And Bobby, what a thorough, well-structured, well-explained and considerate review, including local tips! One of your best reviews in my opinion! Thanks for putting time and effort into this video!
Thanks Csaba! Much appreciated
You deserve way more subscribers. What I love most about your reviews is that you are objective, point out the negatives, but also respect the products and don't bash them.
Thanks Antonis. Much appreciated. Any share or mention helps us to grow. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays 😊
@@TECH360TV thanks for the reply! May I add that the fact that you take the time and effort to answer to each and every comment is AMAZING. You have definitely gained a big fan here and I will be sharing your content as much as I can. Keep up the great work. Merry Christmas and all the best!
Thanks! Merry Christmas and have a great New Year!
Out of all my camera's, the X100V is the most fun to shoot with. I love it.
Yes it really is a fun camera
What about the Sony rx1r ii
I bought this camera 3 months ago and it became one of my most loved cameras ever since then! Great review!
Thanks Peter!
This is one of my favorite reviews of the X100V. Nice job.
Thanks Shaka
I have seen many others reviews about this Camera before thinking to get One for myself. But your review and photos have something different from others. I enjoy watching it!
Thanks Bruce much appreciated
Much love Bobby , by far one of the best reviews of all time for the X100V. So glad to have this one here.
Hello and high five from Singapore
Thanks a lot. Much appreciated
It’s interesting you mention wanting a larger, softer eyecup for the viewfinder, as I did the opposite with my XT2 - the standard one is big and soft and comfortable, but I found it kept getting caught on my bag when I pulled it out or put it in, so I replaced it with a smaller, harder one that slides in and out much easier. For a camera as small and potentially pocketable as the X100 series, I think the low-profile eyecup makes more sense - I certainly appreciate(d - I don’t shoot with it much any more) it on my first-gen X100.
Regarding Raw file size, the only reason to shoot uncompressed is if your software doesn’t support compressed; it’s lossless compression so there’s no image quality difference between the two.
Great review! I love that you pointed out how much extra info there is in the RAW files. A lot of people are just shooting jpegs with this camera and I get why, but they're missing out on a ton of RAW data. Love the lens hood as well... gotta get that! PS. Zhuyun Crane M2 gimbal works brilliantly with the X100v.... using the gimbal with 4x slo mo 1080p is just amazing.
Thanks for watching! I never shoot JPEG and Fujifilm RAW files are great. I have the M2 should have tried it! Maybe in the future if I get the camera back
Loved the video, the photos, the whole presentation is so on point! And of course love my Fuji x100v))
Thank you!
Best review of X100V on internet, talking and action went equally well, Product details explained in very simple manner. and the sample images are fantastic. Nobody shows before and after thumbs up for that mate, Keep going. well done.
I’m just here to recognize the “toneh” @14:47 ;-). Lol great video as always.
Must have the right amount to make an impact 😂
Recently stumbled into your camera/lens reviews and been really enjoying your content. Keep it up!
Thanks for watching and the support
Informative review that not only mentions the specs, but also how the camera _feels_ and operates. One thing that isn't (explicitely) mentioned is the very silent leaf shutter. If I had money to burn I would buy it immediately, but for the moment I will stay at my X-T2 and 23mm f/2 and 35 mm f/2 for street photography.
Good point. Sorry for the late reply, sometimes I don’t see all that come in
What a superb review. Excellent, clear, forthright and enthusiastic.
Thanks Mark
Really enjoyed this review! I bought mine last year but haven’t really picked it up as much. This video inspired me to go out and explore. Thank you for this! ✨
My pleasure. Thanks for watching
I am really loving my X100V I picked up a month ago. I have also picked up the WCL-X70 to get a slightly wider 26mm full frame equivalent than the WCL-X100, thanks to Jayshooter for the magnet mod. This camera is pretty much the pinnacle of the series and a great camera to alway have with me.
Congrats on the camera and the lens converters. Nice kit!
Hi ! Excellent review. Thanks. Would you say that image quality of the 100V is much better than the 100F ?
My first Fuji is the x100s. I bought it used to try the system, it’s a decision I never regret. Enjoying it ever since!
OVF really handy as a 'self-teaching' tool for framing/composition. Makes me think more about what's in and what's just out. And so easy to flip back to evf.
Fair enough. If it helps you that’s great and that’s what these tools are for. To better our photography
Totally...
Came for the camera review which was exelent and bought the bag , thank you !
Haha thanks for watching
Great review. I've had this camera for a few months and I absolutely love it, my favourite parts being how low profile it is with the tiny lens and leaf shutter. Just ordered the squarehood before I came to this video, it looks amazing with this camera even though the price tag made me shudder a little. And now I know what the cutout is for thanks to this vid!
Thanks egg appreciate the kind words. The Squarehood is nice. Enjoy!
You prolly dont care but does anybody know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can give me
@Bobby Pablo instablaster =)
@Terrance Avery i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Terrance Avery it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out!
Cracking video. Add on’s for my V100x are the SmallRig mini tripod which is such good quality. Lowpro do a bum bag which I can fit everything in including spare batteries, charger and leads. I have fitted the adapter and protection filter to weather proof the system. To front the filter I have fitted a Gobe lens cap. These come as filter protection caps which I have just used the front element. It is a screw on cap but the look and feel is fantastic.
Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Be lucky stay safe
Nearly forgot. I fitted a wrist strap. Never used a neck strap as they always seem to get in my way.
Be lucky stay safe
Thanks for sharing! Sounds like you have a fantastic setup!
@@TECH360TV I run it along side a X-T4 and a 40-150 f2.8.
Used run with the Nikon D4s plus pro lens, as age moves along I decided to trade in and get a lighter system .
I have not been disappointed by the move.
Congrats. XT-4 is a great camera
Great video, really enjoy the details around this camera, well done 🔝
Thanks Tom much appreciated
Really well done video. Very helpful. Any idea when the next Fuji will come out in this series ?
Man, that square hood looks great!!!
Yeah it does. Really completes the look of the camera
Hi Bobby! I just bought this camera 🙏🏼 Loved your review! I have no problem with the joystick either 🕹! Love those black and white, do you have presets? Or would I ask you to make an editing video! Loved the colors in your photos! 🙏🏼 thanks
Wow. I’m not a Fuji shooter, but this camera might change that.
It’s a fun camera to use
Just subscribed - love your style! On my way to a store, will probably pick it up. Ditched my EOS R recently.
Thanks Karam for watching. All the best with your new camera
why did you ditch your eos?
Great review! With the squarehood attached, was it noticeable through the ovf? Thanks!
Thanks !! Can You share the link of the hood square , ?? please!
A Fuji x100 without a screen would be so awesome or even a screen like the xpro3
Yeah would be
Just wondering... where is the link you mentioned in your video for the Fujifilm bag?
Great review. I have had mine for 8 months and totally agree with your views good work
Thanks Mark much appreciated
as long as this video clarifies a LOT of my doubts..I still have only one..is it good also for video? i am amateur and not professional w still lots to learn on photography but I'd like a camera with I can do "almost" everything...because rn I know what they say: canon for photos, sony for videos and that got me all confused 🤣
This can do video but being it’s a fixed lens minus the adapters and it’s very small without IBIS you might find it challenging at times for video.
Really nice review. Engaging presenter who is obviously intelligent and well-spoken.
Thanks for the kind words
Excellent video. I think I’ll get one. Where did you get the lens hood?
Thanks for watching. It’s from Squarehood
Great review of the camera! Who's the photographer specializing in b&w photography that you mentioned in the video? I've been shooting more b&w photos coz of fujifilm's excellent b&w colours.
Thanks!! His name is Allan Schaller. He takes beautiful B&W photographs
Amazing video, really loved watching it! Do you use any uv filter with this lens hood?
Thank you! I don’t use one as the hood protects the front element
@@TECH360TV can I use a filter with the hood to make it WR?
Very nice review! I do have a question since you just did a review on the A7C. If you are heading out to walk around the city and do some street photography capturing split second photos of people moving or while you are walking which camera would you take that would perform excellent in the AF department.....The X100V or the A7C?
I have the X100V but coming from an A7III and A6600 I feel the X100V is not up to par with the AF and I have had multiple shots with failed focus.
Hi Jorge thanks for watching. Good question! It’s hard for me to compare both cameras due to one being an interchangeable lens and the other with a fix lens. To me the Sony has better AF for sure so if that’s your main priority then the Sony wins. However the size of both cameras is different. The X100V is small and compact. The A7c while being small and compact for full frame is still larger.
FWIW owning the A7iii and X100V, the beauty of the X100V is it fits into your daily life effortlessly, for me to take my A7iii with a 35mm prime it's somewhat a chore to take everywhere with you, whereas the X100V does not have that problem.
With that lens hood it really does look like a very small and beautiful camera - it just needs a leather strap now. Image quality has always been there, but with the new lens upgrade even close subjects are sharp (a weakness of previous models)...For me a future Fuji to add to the collection for everyday and travel use. Cool video.
Thanks for watching Stephen. Yes the hood completes the look for sure and the new lens really takes this camera to the next level
Similar to the Pansasic Lumix GX9, but without IBIS or interchangeable lenses. Somewhat higher resolution, if 35mm focal length doesn't need to be cropped.
Great review. I purchased a XPro3 from Amazon, they delivered the X100V (go figure). Now I'm not sure I'm going to send it back.
How does the new squarehood compare to the mkii? And would it block the flash for up close photos? Had the previous one but to install a filter, the adapter makes it look bulkier.
Where is the link to fuji camera bag
A very enjoyable video. I thought that Chinese checkers was played on a star shaped board, and I think the other game may have been go or othello.
Like the hood where you get it from Sir...ty
Funny...I think the opposite...you say "with OVF you're guessing".... I say with EVF you're guessing....sure you have a more representative image in the viewfinder regarding exposure...but composition wise, the OVF wins every time...that's why the majority of pro sports photographers use DSLR....
Been using the x100v for a week now, haven't touched the EVF... sometimes use the focus peaking option...but rarely.
Side note... interesting to see that Pentax has it's feet firmly planted in the DSLR camp.... Can't help thinking that electronic viewfinders will become sidelined....and replaced by more complex optical viewfinders with more expansive overlays...
all the best....
With the EVF your seeing 100% the composition of the final image, while with the OVF the frame lines have the possibility to be slightly off (and often are, especially when close).
One benefit with OVF is that there is no 'blackout' at shutter-release. Useful for street photography or even with panning shots.
Great review. Can you link that specific lens hood please?
squarehood.se/products/model-v?variant=36733681008789
Hi.. love the production quality. Could you let me know what you film on ?
Sony A7III with Sennheiser AVX paired with the Deity V Lav Pro
Do you have a uv filter on the camera by any chance with that squarehood? I love the silver lining on the inside and was wondering if buying a filter would make it black
I don’t have a UV filter on it
Hi Bobby. Thanks for this very well done review. What is your thoughts about this x100V as an alternative to the Leica Q2 or even Q1?
I think he will not answer, but I will...I have had my V since April, been happy with it since day one. Then I started to be poised by the Q2 and eventually swapped with my friend...after a week asked him to switch back. I was lucky he was willing to switch back.
1. Q2 is a slow camera. The buffer is ridiculously small - given that the files are so big.
2. Files are so big. So big, you will need to upgrade your PC setup. So big you can forget your old SD cards and have to buy new UHS-II only (those are like 250USD for a 64gb)
3. Batteries are like 300 USD
4. 47mpix sensor means the high ISO will look like swiss cheese. And it does. Low light performance is very weak compared to V.
5. Autofocus is contrast based...which is worse than fuji phase AF - especially in low light.
6. Manual focus, of course, is way better than with fuji.
7. Jpeg SOOC in V is best there ever was. Leica is nowhere near.
@@kubowich Thanks a lot for taking the time to share your experience .
this match a reply I Had last week from a friend saying the same point 1) 4) and 5).
Size is not an issue as I’m used to it with the S1R. Finally I will keep my Leica TL2 with its tiny 18mm. Ok it’s not as powerful as the Fuji I guess but as I have it I will continue to use it and try to get the best out of it. Colors are stunning and I can switch from the 18 (28mm equivalent) to the 35 1.5 (50mm equivalent). Without cropping but just by changing the lens... I’m not yet ready for the one fix lens camera.
@@DidierMOULINPhotography never used the TL2, but I guess it is a nice camera.
Also I use the wide conversion lens with my V, that I bought used for 100 eur, and makes it 28 (on FF), same as your TL...performs very well also. I may even buy a tele conversion lens that will make it a 50
@@kubowich great possibility indeed. That sounds interesting. The V is appealing as the Pro3 with its hidden rear screen... but you know the story I don’t want to come into another brand otherwise I will again spend too much money because one calls another one...
Yes the TL2 is a superb camera you can check my video about it.on my channel. I will make another one as since I bought new lenses...
Hi Didier thank you.
I would compare the X100v to the CL or TL2 vs the Q. First off full frame vs APS-C. Second the lens on the Q is superior to the fujifilm in every way.
As much as I like the X100v the Q is a really well balanced camera that takes fantastic images.
Also understand the price points are very different as well :)
How is this camera with portaits/portraiture?
Great review. Got mine a week ago an love it :-)
Congrats!!
What is the lens hood model name?
Do you use a filter with your square hood? If yes what’s the name?
Which square lens hood is this. Its looks sexy. From where can I buy this extra wide hood?
I love my X100V too! 👍
Fantastic camera
Love the square hood and Nice Panerai btw
Thanks! And thanks for watching
Its all about the Toneh'.
Is this lens sharper than the Ricoh griii?
I'm seriously considering this camera but wear eyeglasses. How big a deal breaker is it with viewfinder?
What happens if you don't use lo-fi hip hop music while doing a camera review? I've always wanted to know.
It becomes very quiet
omg someone help me. do i get the all black or the classic ...sooooooo torn - yikes
Classic
My gear x100v and a panerai! 👍
I just got the x100v, will I be happy coming from a Sony a7riii? I still have my Sony, but I wanted someone light and easy. 🥴 I love how light he is and he have a very nice display, I am yet to try him in low light however
Try it and see. It’s a good camera. The RIII also is really good
What about the overheating and grinding when changing aperture all the forums are talking about?
I haven't experienced overheating with it. The "grind" varies I guess. Mine feels slightly "textured" but still smooth. Kinda odd... lol
Haven’t experienced that.
I’ve had no overheating issues and the “grinding” is on the focus ring in on spot but I barely notice it since I rarely am shooting manual. Hones
Try I think the only overheating issues are when recording 4K for long periods of time which is understandable considering the size and lack of space for heat dispersion. This isn’t meant for long videos, or really many videos at that. I use it here and there for a quick video of my daughter or if I’m out and about and see something I want to snag. Usually less than 3-5 mins
You can lock the joystick in regards of af in the menu
Yes I know but it was never an issue with me
Does this lens hood also make the camera weather resistant with a filter?
Not sure about that. But I’m not planning on taking an X100V into water soon :)
where can i find the lens hood? it’s so beautiful. this video just sold me the camera. picking it up tomorrow lol
Thanks for watching. The company is called Squarehood
Hey, I don’t think so, unless it’s a prototype that’s not on their website. It looks like the Hague one, please let me know if i am wrong - great review, love the camera.
It’s from Squarehood but it’s a new hood coming out.
@@TECH360TV thank you
To any street togs out there, I would suggest getting a Cinebloom 20% Filter from Moment as well!
Yes very cool filters but only for certain types of lighting
great video! Thanks!
Thank you!
Hi, did you noticed any heat issues with the camera? Some users have reported this issue but others have said it does not get hot. Thanks
No heat issues for me and I live in a hot climate year round.
@@TECH360TV awesome! Thank you for the prompt reply
What setup did you use to shoot this video?
A6500 and we incorporated the 85 1.4 GM lens at time
I have a 100V and I hear that it is not a good landscape camera, but is best for portraiture.
Well it’s limited in some ways due to the fixed lens.
Hi, can you tell me which bag you are using in this video
It’s a sling bag by Moment. I give more info in the video
what square lens hood is that/ brand or link where to buy? thanks
It’s from a company called Square Hood
X-t30 is much better in many ways, smaller, more compact, perfect for traveling and street photography has much better grip, bigger viewfinder, more practical because u can change lenses, not fixed lens! Yes it's not weather sealed but got same sensor and processor as 100v. X-t30 is cheaper even if you add two f2 prime lens to the price
Wow not that late in the party eh..but better late than never
I wanted to get the camera months ago but fujifilm in Singapore didn’t have a review unit to pass to me
No link for camera bag?
Cool Moment camera bag. How can I get it?
Can check out their website for more info
could you tell me the brand and modle of camera hood?
Squarehood
Thank you for the review Keanu Reeves :p
Hahaha 😝
Wear that black suit next time And bring your dog
How good does the black color look?
Looks very good!
I would like not to have a branding on my camera bag, you know why... but thanks for the review of the x100v!
Understand 😊
the only thing i didn't like about this review is the recommendations for "lens converters"
Nice Moment/Fuji X/GFX bag
Yeah it’s a very nice bag
If I never see/hear anyone open a RUclips video with the words 'what's up?' again it'll be too soon.
Lol!
Is the bag 6L or 10L version?
10L
Thanks!
I just wanna know about rog phone 3 where can i buy in singapore
Don’t have that info
This is were I come if I want a good camera review
Thank you 🙏
You literally poıinted the camera to their nose and you say "its discrate" :D
It’s not an intimidating camera for people
Were can i buy this lens hood?
Search for Squarehood
Love the camera. Would rather have the Panerai :)
Haha understand
HELLO !!! WHAT IS LENS HOOD??? THX!!!
Square hood
@@TECH360TV thx! im bay it!
A 2.0 aperture is a true 2.0 aperture opening for low light gathering. Crop factor is not a factor.
While the aperture is the same the amount of depth of field is different.
Did you have any trouble editing your Fujifilm raw files Lightroom?
Not really. Once you understand how the files work it’s easy
Its maybe looks random but its me or this man looks really like zack snyder.
Old fashioned looking
Not first
Hahahahaha
