First of all I would pick your intro! :-D
I would pick the one that I have: x100f silver. Love this little camera. It allows for more candid shots than the big Canon set-up that I have.
I had the XE-1 for years and didn’t feel the need for a X100. I passed the XE-1 on recently and got the X-100V and love it. I never liked the D pad so “the V is for me”.
I started with an X100 and X70, then ended up wth the X100 and X100V. Couldn't bring myself to sell the original which is still fun despite its foibles.
The T adds the option of Wifi which I find hugely practical on the go if you want to edit and share quickly on the go from your phone. As well as using the phone as remote.
I've owned S, T, and F models. To me the X100T is the best version. Image quality is already great. No need for focus joystick added in the F version. No need for ISO selection dial. I had one button to switch between 200 and auto ISO and it covered 99.9% of my needs.
Ive got the T as well, and still love it to this day. Tried my buddy’s V and still prefer the T images.
How did you program a button to switch between 200 and auto?
It’s so expensive now despite not being made anymore
@@touchmestudiosI think he meant just moving the dial back and forth.
It loves you too.
I bought the original at the beginning of 2019. It's the perfect walkaround camera.
I own the S and I love it, never felt the need to change it for another quickdraw camera, its travelled with me a lot and I am sure it will continue to do so until the day it stops working.
I’ve been using the S since 2014 and it’s the one and only camera that I’ve missed when I forgot to bring it with me when I travel. I also think that with the old lens, 16MP is the sweet spot, which is also why I didn’t go for the F when it came out.
I bought the V a few days ago and I absolutely love the tilting screen and the sensor/lens combination. Also, weather sealing means I won’t have to worry about it in the rain. It is the ultimate refinement for the classic X100 series in 2020.
I will be keeping both since I really like the characteristics of the S’s sensor/lens combination, and I do agree with you that if I have a limited budget and can only get one of them, it would be the S.
These are all awesome cameras. I actually still shoot with my Fujifilm X10, bought new in 2012. The sensor is smaller than the x100, but it has a nice zoom, manual controls, and looks great. Oh, it takes tack-sharp images.
I’m buying the X100 as a candid walk arounds when we do weddings! $249. Thanks for the review. Perfect 👌🏻
Brilliant review, and so rare to get a no-nonsense look across a complete range particularly when you are looking at a possible purchase. Thank you so much.
This was such a great comparison! I've been shooting with the X100 since it came out and only had the itch for an upgrade recently. No matter what gen you have, the X100 is such a great camera to shoot with. I can't wait to see what the fifth gen will be like.
I actually just picked up an X70, wanted something slightly smaller than the X100 for my carry everywhere camera. Loving it so far.
Really needed this comparison. Many Thanks
Great summary and comparison Matt. One of the features which had me sell my used OG X100 for a used X100T was WiFi. I love printing photos to the Instax SP-2 directly from the camera.
This video was a major pointer to me purchasing an X100S and I have not been disappointed. I love it's retro look and the great picture quality. It's my "in pocket favourite" and definitely re-activated my love of street photography.
Hi, 👋 so, I’ve got this x100s ( U$ 750) who seems to be really conserved, and then there’s this x10 wich seems to be new too, and it costs U$ 512. So, I wanted to save some money if I could, since my daddy isn’t at the best conditions right now, do you think the x100s is worthy the price in comparison to the x10s? Sorry I’m new at photography 🤧
I have an F but upgraded to the V when it was released mainly for the weather sealing I found a lot of situations when I couldn't use the F when travelling because of heavy downpours. For me thst makes the V a worthy upgrade.
I have the S. I've thought of upgrading many times, but I think you've just saved me some cash. So thank you. It's always great to get unbiased opinions.
got the original back in 2011, still love it and never felt a need to upgrade
I’ve never had an x100 before,so I purchased the x100v and loving it. I do a lot of close up shooting, and the new lens is sharp. I compared it with a new x100f at the a camera store and its really sharper at f2 and close up.
I've got the S and love it. The 16M sensor doesn't expose the flaw of the lens. Also it doesn't require higher shutter speed to combat camera shake. This is one of my cameras that I don't feel any need to upgrade.
Wow thank you!! This really is a helpful video! I bought my first Fuji camera in 2018. A used x100s. Best choice I’ve made. It has turned me into a Fuji fanboy. Thinking really hard of upgrading to the V now🤔
I bought a black “S” approx four months ago. I live in the NYC metro area and before COVID-19 hit I was shooting street photography with it almost daily.
It’s a hell of a camera and I’m extremely pleased with it. It holds up very well compared to more modern cameras and would highly recommend it to anyone for Street and travel Photography.
Do you have a website or IG where we can see some of your shots with the x100s?
John S yes John my Instagram is @Jay_Shoots_Streets.
I bought a Black T about 2 months ago for $375 dollars.
I love it. The F is better but the T is a smarter deal I think. The V is too much money for me.
Love your videos!
Where did you find it at that price???
That's an amazing price for a T! Happy for you. I would like to put this camera in the hands of everyone who wants to get into photography
Like a modern standard after shooting with something like a CANON AE-1, with a 50mm and black and white film (HP5)
I picked up my x100T also a few months ago. I got mine for about 450.00. But it's minty with no issues. and had less than 1k shots.. I found mine on Ebay
I got the T about 2 months ago. My other camera is an xt20. The viewfinder of the T is in auto brightness and always looks underexposed. The lcd looks good but I don’t like to use it. Also the buffering is too slow but I don’t know if is because I am used to faster cameras or is my sd card.
Interesting choice. I own a X100S for several years now and I love it. Never really wanted to upgrade, until the X100V came out. The decision isn't made yet, because it is a lot of money and I do not really need it. But I'd appreciate the higher resolution and the tilting screen might be a really useful option too. Well, I think I will rent one and try it.
A really great comparison by the way!
You might be disappointed. I loved the images that I got with the "s". The change in the sensor just isn't the same. I wish they'd come out with one that had that sensor in it and everything else new. I've owned them all but the V and I still miss the "S".
Way late to the party I am but this is one of the best product review/comparison videos on RUclips. Thank you.
My compliments Mr Granger. Marvelous review !
Bought a silver copy of the S about half year ago, 330 CND with a "Fujifilm" leather case, a charger and a metal hood. Loving this little thing and shooting on it frequently.
I sort of have a love-hate relationship with the x100 series. I bought an S, then sold it. Felt bad so bought another one. Used it on and off then upgraded to an F and eventually sold it. The advantage of the F was the batteries are the same as my X-T2 and X-H1 as well as major upgrade in focusing.. Fortunately I bought them used as they tend to plummet in value. It's almost worth it for the leaf shutter flash advantages alone which are awesome. I finally decided that I don't "see the world" in the 35mm construct like most people claim and that the 50mm equiv seems to be the ticket, at least in my view. I wasn't enamored with the teleconverter, may as well just have an interchangeable lens camera. So I decided to use the proceeds to buy the 35mm f1.4 for my X-H1 and pocket the remaining cash for now. It's been happily bolted to the camera for awhile now and that's working out well. Who knows, maybe I'll get bit by the 100 bug again down the road..
I had the F and jumped on the V without hesitation. Even in landscapes and well stopped down the old lens didn't have a chance againts the new one which is visibly better even on moderately sized prints. Lens- and sensor-perfomance really have a love-affair again in the V and you can just shoot along knowing that the optical quality will hardly ever let you down under any circumstances.
I'm picking up an X100S tomorrow!
I got myself a x100 limited edition last year and its since day 1 my on the go camera :)
I have been thinking about purchasing one of these. So this was the perfect video for me. Thanks.
I'm a former Canon user. I bought my first Fuji last year. It was a Finepix S1 that I got for a great price. As much as I love the camera, I've already found myself pushing some of it's limits. I appreciate your breakdown of the X100 series, as it's helping me learn more about the unique models that Fuji has made for the photography community. I've used cameras with flip out LCDs before. Once you use one, the flexibility it offers you makes it difficult to go back to fixed LCDs. I also like weather resistant cameras, as I do a lot of outdoor photography (I also sometimes grab the camera to take macro shots with my grubby hands, while I'm in the workshop).
Interesting reading the comments. I have had the S for a long time now and it does everything I want. I've used it also to video my band on many occasions (obviously handing it over to someone else for the gig) and it has done a great job of that too. I'll keep it till it falls apart on me. Super everyday camera.
I currently have the S. It's pretty amazing that these go for only around $300. It's a great sophisticated bag/travel cam and while I do like the 'specs' of the F/V, for my use it's certainly not worth the extra $1000. Great vid as always.
The s is no longer going for that. Easily getting 700$ on eBay
i bought the F used after having sold my T. Thank you for taking the time to review all 5 models. Great job!
I bought an X100F in December 2019 to replace an aging Sony digital camera. I'm used to 35 mm film SLR's but wanted a handy small high quality 'carry around' camera when I didn't want to carry around a bulky SLR with a bagful of lenses. At first I was daunted and confused by the plethora of features and controls on the exterior of the camera but now that I've become more accustomed to it I really like it..especially the built-in film simulations and built-in neutral density filter. And the non-interchangeable lens is not really an impediment for me..I find myself concentrating on composition and the built-in digital 'short zoom' capability is fine for my purposes. The only complaint I have is the placement of the 'Q' button; I've pressed it accidentally with my thumb on numerous occasions at a critical moment but that is a function of simply keeping in mind where I place my right thumb when grasping the camera. Other than that a wonderful photographic instrument I have no regrets at laying out the cash for it. And it simply looks 'retro cool'..reminds me of the classic film rangefinder cameras. The X100V came out the month after I bought my X100F..I don't feel slighted at the least that I didn't wait for the new model.
Thanks for this video, now i know what order these came out. Just starting out I am noting the X100s
Thank you for this great video. I choosed the X100 because I found one for 200 euros in a very good shape. Also, it's a way to get used to the X100 series and see how I feel with that, on time. I know that the image quality still is very good. I am a slower user. I think that the cmos sensors have something special...
Still love my original x100 for vacation and walking around it’s great!
I think you forgot to mention that the x100v is the first one which got weather sealing. This might be a big deal for some.
The weather sealing, the bigger battery, resolution, lens and tilting screen made me upgrade from x100t to x100v. But I don't like the OLED viewfinder.
Good point re the weather sealing mate this and the flip screen to save the old knees a bit would be my main justifications for upgrading from the incredible F.
I have the S since 2013, bought used. I love it still and don’t feel the need to upgrade it. Size is perfect and fits in your pocket. Miss WiFi but happy with it!
U can get a WiFi SD card to fill that gap
I own the x100t and love it. Started with the X100. Am considering the V.
I agree with your choice! After using multiple fujis over the years, each sensor has a distinctive look, and the 16mp really has a beautiful natural quality to it that my current X H1 doesn't quite match
This. I don’t know what it is but the X-Trans II is my favorite sensor. I’ve owned many Fuji bodies but the X-E2 (which my son just inherited) and my new (to me) X100T (replacing my ‘lost’ X-E2) make gorgeous JPEGs. I like the others but that II is my favorite. I also own the X-H1 .. oh that shutter mechanism.. but still prefer colors from the X-Trans II.
I have the T and its been my go to for digital 80% of the time
Great comparison of all the models. They all look like very nice cameras. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for such an informative comparative guide. It confirmed that I’m right in concentrating my search on the X100S or possibly the X100F.
Still waiting for the x100v prices to come down like you said they would 😉
Haha. Give it 3 more months 🤞
I started with the x100. Upgraded to the T and stopped. I am satisfied with the T.
Hi Matt.Nice review, as usual !
With the X100T, Fuji introduced wi-fi communication that allows the camera to be controlled remotely by a phone, or for rapid file transfert and geotagging . This was a deal breaker for me when I was looking for a used version of this camera.
If the Wi-fi communication only had been "rapid" I would agree.. Still does not work as exted on any of my 3 fujifilm cameras..
I've played with the WiFi control on my camera. A big feature it's lacking is the ability to do a focus lock. The app is pretty much useless without the ability to focus.
Hi Matt...long time follower. Love your content!
I’ve had my S since it was first released and it’s by far my most used camera. The 4 way controller wheel became unresponsive/glitchy so I sent it into Fuji for repair. I spoke with them earlier today...since it’s and older model and they no longer have parts, they offered me a brand new X100T as a replacement for $390. I jumped at the offer! Thought this might be useful for someone out there with an older model looking to upgrade.
Happy New Year!
I don't mind the tilt screen of the V. What bugged me about the V was the removal of the D-Pad. Sure touch screens are nice for touch to focus, but I use my camera up to my face, and tapping isn't very useful. I know you can program the touch screen for swipes, but I rather press a button instead of swiping for my presets. That's why I'll keep my x100F a little longer instead of upgrading.
Absolutely, I find the D-Pad gives you a lot of useful costumisation options for auto-ISO settings, white balance, continous shooting and so on. With the removal of the D-Pad Fuji limited the options of the X100V.
Best x100 video comparison by far! THANK YOU MATT!!!
Matt, thank you for your comprehensive historical review of the X100 Fuji series. I recently went from the 100F to the 100V for the new lens, the weather proofing, and the beautifully integrated tilting screen among other features. And yes, I just couldn't resist the handsome industrial design in silver. I use my 100V as my everyday camera, and my minimalist street and travel camera. Lovin' every minute!
I agree with you, S or F if you want to spend some extra money.
I just have bought the S last month, amazing small camera, lovely
So well done. Thank you for putting this together.
Great comparison! I've own a 100S from 2020, and the quality and practicality for every day shooting is fantastic for me. My 12yo daughter also loves it!
X100V all the way. I owned the X100F and then I sold it because it never felt refined compared to my other Fuji cameras. The X100V is super refined and the tilting screen is very useful. I also own the XT3, and XT4.
Always good to see a comparison like this, helps me feel good about my X100s I purchased new back when it was new to the market. I actually like the "flaw" in the lens, but then I always have the luxury of having other cameras when I need ultimate in sharpness.
Fabulous articulate discerning commentary BRAVO
I’ve had the S, T and F and I’d say the T is the sweet spot. It’s way speedier than the S and for me the Wi-Fi capability is essential given that I shot with the film simulations and post to social media mostly. One advantage of the F is greater crop-ability due to those extra megapixels, but the Q button drives me crazy (so easy to accidentally click) and you can’t turn it off.
I just picked up an X100F (second time owning) for $630 with a Gariz half case, lensmate thumb grip, and a squarehood. Unless you really need the tilt screen for waist shooting, the weather sealing, or better lens for up close, I think the F is the one to buy right now if you can hunt for a deal. It still holds up perfectly well right now in 2022 and will for years to come I imagine.
Great deal because the F price is jacked up now.
@@inquisitvem6723 yeah who knew the market would go crazy like this? I thought about selling it for a profit now but I still enjoy using it from time to time so I don’t think I will. These prices are insane though
Great video Matt, great to see all of the lineup together.
I'm from the UK and I bought the 100F to use in a family New York trip at the end of March which obviously got cancelled, but this is a great little light weight camera for every day occasions :) Loving it so far :)
I bought the S a year ago second hand for €400. Love it to bits.
Love my T! I really like the in-body charging and I do a lot of timelapses with it.
Just picked up a used x100f on eBay for just under $750 with taxes and shipping included. Can’t wait for it to arrive!
I think we looked at the same deal, got my x100f today
I own the F and I think it’s great. The only thing it’s missing is weather sealing.
I have the X100T. It’s a good camera though I wish the autofocus was more accurate. I just picked up a used X30 and I love it.
I have the X100S, since it first came out and love it. I then bought an XE1 and a 27mm pancake. Out of the two I still tend to use the X100S - for me there is just something about the "image" that comes from this compared to the XE1 with the 27mm. Will I be upgrading? - no love what my X100S does.
I just picked mine up for $900 in Silver 10/10 condition with the manuals, box, and extra accessories. Such a beautiful camera. I was going to get the X100V but the price is not worth it and I really like the D-Pad on the F because they remove the D-Pad in the V.
Lovin' the X100F (brown) with the add on WCL lens (28mm equivalent). I was disappointed that the V doesn't have the D pad. I use the D pad to map frequently used settings. The tilt screen isn't a big deal to me as I shoot the X100F like a film camera, often from the hip, and later look at images in the coffee shop. Just my style I guess.
I've currently got the S. It's a fantastic walkaround camera that can take a little beating being put into my work bag or backpack. I'm very tempted by the V, though. Thanks for this comparison!
Fantastically comprehensive review. A wealth of information here and the video explains exactly what I wanted to know when I asked myself "I wonder what the real difference is between all these versions of the x100".
Wow! Good video. The Fujiverse thanks you for taking the time to do the historical overview. Plus, I agree with you about the added benefit of the tilting screen.
I have the T and I'm quite satisfied with it. I bought it as a travel / street cam and it fits the role perfectly, no regrets buying. Although I think Fuji is stuck now with the naming since the next one will be sixth and seventh and they've already used the "s" in second.
They used F in the 4th gen and that's why they went with V as in the roman numeral. I'm thinking next gen, they will us R for roku, i.e. 6 in japanese. Then for 7, N for nana, reserving H for hachi (8) ....
Bought the ver 1 in 2012 then the S in ‘black’ a year later. Since then have lost track of all the upgrades. Happy to see my 100S came through so well, and it’s black!
I've had the T since it came out and for me it's a perfect ringer for my preferred film setup, Leica M + Summicron 35/2. No intentions to replace it, I shoot at a fixed aperture and shutter speed and my only concessions to automation are autofocus and auto ISO.
Picking my first real camera the fuji x100s in a few days, damn excited!
Matt, thank you for the great review. I was a user of the X100 and the 100T. From what you said, I can see absolute value in the F, but you sold the V when you discussed the Series ll lens.
Matt: Your video is THE best comparison available today, IMHO. Following your arguments, really any of these from the S onwards, is worth buying today, and they are distinguished perfectly in the used market by each's price differential. Perhaps the S is the best value overall. In the past, I had both the original and the S and made many memorable images with both. The "soft wide open" problem is overblown; certainly it never spoiled any of my shots and I usually shot at ƒ2 or 2.8. The ND filter is excellent and the built-in flash is amazing for fill.
X100s - got it a couple of weeks ago and I love it.
I've still got the original X100 which I bought new when it first came out. It's a great little street camera but the only thing that really bugged me was that it was so easy to knock the Exposure Compensation Wheel just by taking the camera out of the case. I thought at the time that it would have been so easy to have a lift and turn type wheel so you don't change the setting accidentally and not notice until reviewing the shots. Did they ever change that design in later models?
I chose the X100V because of the improved lens. I do not like the idea of a lens that it is markedly soft wide open or close up. The weather/dust sealing was an important consideration, too.
I have the T model, but I’m going to get the V due to the new better lens and the flippy screen. Also love that it now has awesome video capabilties. It’s a no brainer for my use
I still own the original (can’t sell it) I have owned the T F and now V and the combination of the V’s `newer lens the images have much better micro contrast . Some of the images I have shot with it actually reminded me of the venerable Fuji Xpro1
The lens is amazing and really renders beautifully. I am lucky to have the V and it’s a real keeper
I owned the original and then the F. If I could own another x100, I would try to get the original again. That first sensor had some magic to it.
How about the AF? Is there any issues bout it?
@@freddjensen9556 It isn't great… Especially compared to the newer X100s. Totally useable, though. If I were shooting street style, I would use zone focusing. The best AF in a small camera I have ever used was the Leica Q.
I have the S - great little camera ! never felt the urge to upgrade, I might get the V - maybe in 2-3 years (when the VI will appear)
Cf p in j
I would definitely choose the V-it has the latest film simulations, which is one of the best reasons to shoot Fuji, plus I frequently wished my X-E3 had a tilting screen, so theres that too. Plus weather sealing. Also, USB-C. I hate micro USB...
If I were considering one of these as my only camera, I'd definitely get the V. I got an "F" last summer as just a carry around and use it a lot. It was actually the gateway camera that lured me into Fuji. Back when I was actually going into the office, I'd just pop it in my work bag with a neoprene protective sleeve. On vacation it's the camera I like to carry at night so I'm not drawing attention to myself with an ILC and camera bag. The lens definitely shows its age, as you say, but in the plus column is: D-pad + joystick and the 24mp sensor (which in my opinion is really special). I think the V looks killer, but I'm not happy about losing the D-pad as I like external controls, and I already have that sensor. I might pick up an "S" at some point, just to have that 16mp sensor. It's really nice.
i believe the the x100s is a good camera to start. I have it and I love it, i don't think i would be changing my camera in the next 5 years.
Another great video thank you very much Matt I'm in the market for the X100S and you helped me make my decision.
My photography business will be changing drastically after this global crisis and if the S model works out well after I get rid of everything except my medium format gear I plan to then get the V
great job, Matt! I have the F model and love it! I like the build quality, size, and the wide range of setting you have from a really "take with camera" keep safe and keep up the Great work! Thanks
My sister who is a professional photographer in California has the X100F as her "personal creative" camera and she loves it and calls it her baby :)
X100F for me. I use now an X-T2 and very happy with it. The X100F has the same processor and sensor and provide excellent results.
This was a very good video my G. Thank you 👌🏽
I had the original X100, sold it, missed it and bought it again. After that I had a X100S which I really loved to shoot with. Man I really like that sensor! In 2018 I bought the X100F which I still use. I don’t think I will buy the X100V. My favourites are the X100F and the X100S.
Fantastic overview Matt. I had the S, I'm thinking about getting the V now.
Cracking review Matt, I've loved this system since buying a used original in 2012, unfortunately that developed the SAB issue and Fuji wouldn't do the free repair as I didn't have the receipt. So bit the bullet and bought a new T, this thing blew my mind I loved it literally to death, drowning it in a freak flash flood. Replaced with the F which I still use and adore. I sorely want to upgrade to the V just because it's shiny and new, but TBH at this moment in this crazy world I cant see a rational reason to upgrade. The F still produces the goods consistently without an issue. As a press photographer I lug around a full heavy canon kit all day so on my down time this wee but mighty fujifilm system is an absolute joy to use. The vast majority of the stills in the videos on my channel are shot with the X100 system it really never lets me down. New subscriber for you mate.
I just bought an S, $400 AUS and I’m loving it, like you mentioned I don’t feel I’m missing anything, and my other camera is a Z9
Great longitudinal review and thoughtful recommendations.
Hi Matt, thank you for this great video!
Lot’s of greetings, Dennis 🇳🇱
Good comparison-thank you!
