"If you don't care how a camera looks, get a sony" hahaha I'm still laughing! :D
me too. so true!
i have spent the WHOLE day searching and meandering in the internet looking for more about that beautiful series! i just found it out and i fell in love with it!
and when i opened your video about it, i knew i will enjoy it A LOT! and i was right! Thank you for making these videos
when u said pff "i'm pretty shallow" it cracked me up! Love it!
I appreciate the honest and very fair review.
Great video. I was considering getting the X-100f, but now I think I'd be happier with the X-t20.
Thanks for the great review Omar! Your personality pops! It made watching the review wonderful. I love my X100, and exactly as you said, I love it because of my tastes and preferences. I normally shoot with a Leica M9 (which is even more niche than the X100), so for me the X100 is a super compromise between some auto features, with the look and functions of a classic rangefinder. When I want to shoot video for my VLOG or want all auto features, I use my Canon G7x. Thanks for a great review!
Can't wait for the XF56 video
I had a x100s and sold it because I wanted to be have the interchangeable lenses. I now have a x-t10 and I agree the 56mm 1.2 is by far my favorite lens by far that I have. That being said I'm looking at getting a x100 series camera again. Great video!
Very interesting commentary, sir. My own reason for passing on the X100 Series, is that Fuji hasn't yet updated the fixed lens. I feel that when the X100F came along with the updated sensor/processing engine, that would have been a good time for Fuji to update/refresh the optics as well, to take full advantage of the higher resolution sensor. As good as Fujinon optics are, I still believe that this particular lens could be made a bit better in terms of edge-to-edge sharpness, especially at wider apertures. Thanks!
Love your videos, keep em coming! I enjoy my X-T20 so much :D
Seha Sok thanks!
Love your sense of humor
Omar, you're hilarious ))) Thanks for the video! Fun to watch... as always!
Another great vid. Thanks Omar.
hey its hayim, from lag! this is amazing! can't believe you have a youtube channel too! Keep it going
Love the dig at Sony styling, that made me laugh and got you a like :)
I’m considering this 4 years later than this vid even over the X100v I really like how the images look straight out of camera the colours and tge softness I really kinda like
Just discovered your channel and loving it....great info and very entertaining ! ( I laughed lots...lol )
You crack me up. Entertainment value = 10
joel cleare thanks Joel
You're so funny Omar....love it! I have several Sony's and ditto on the below the threshold of sensation...
When is the review of the 56mm f1.2, can't wait to see it!!!!!
Cool video. Lots of info and very entertaining! Hi from the UK 😀
I'm interested to know more about this XT2 and XT3. I'm still saving for a XT20 so maybe I would collect some more for one.
Very nice commentary. I love it!!!
Liked the video....yes, the SONY slam was cute! ....but a good all round video
love the photo of the gulls on the wall.....👍👍
I love the video and subscribed .This message is from your uncle . I love this camera..
I have a F and it's a great little thing to travel with and carry around. I have used my Z6 with it's flippy screen and sure it's great for shooting from the hip but too big for the street.
OMG that Sony comment - boom! Nailed it! 10/10 for your video and thumbs up ;) I just ordered my x100f a few days ago - lookin' forward to getting it and going to the streets!!
Also there is one thing you omitted here which is the HVF. Being able to see in the optical viewfinder to compose your shot and see the image in a "rangefinder style" but at the same time being able to switch in EVF or OVF mode @ any time makes a HUGE difference for me as a street photographer. This can only be found on the X-PRO 2 and the X100 series. I own the X-T10 and X-T2 as well so if I need to interchange lenses I will use those - for a wedding for example. Otherwise and like you said, I recorded 1 (yes ONE) video on my X-T2 and none on my X-T10 because... its a PHOTO camera not a RECORDING device! In fact I have other cameras in full HD - I even have the Osmo+ with Z axe from DJI or the Panono if I wanna record in 16K (no computer on the market supports that format yet though haha) for 360 degrees filming. Anyhow, thanks for the video and for sharing - you are fun to watch! (and I luv your titles - LMAO!!)
Cheers, Cris
The problem with the X100F not sharp wide open is because it focuses a little closer than it should on shorter distances. Try it! Try taking a closeup of your own face and focus on your eye, after you have locked focus with the button half way pressed, mover your face a little little bit closer to the lens, take the shot and your eye will be in focus. Theres i noting inheritly wrong with the lens, only the closeup -focusing.
Thanks for changing my mind! I was itching to get the x100f.. yes at this year 2021 the x100f cause it’s in my budget at the moment. I might try and go for the XT-30 and get a pancake lens 27XF!
This was hilarious. Keep it up!
You are like Jim Carrey of reviews. Love your videos man
I like your style man this channel very fun
That Sony comment was fantastic!😂 thank you for that
Well, now I'm sold on this camera! I'm no millionaire, but I think I'll buy this as a "second" main camera with a specific purpose in mind. The X-E3 is nice too, but I don't care to invest in a second lens family (or switch). Great video!
My wife and me had both a Nikon d3500 . Then we get a small xt20 and we figth for it !! After a wijle we change te Nikons and all the lenses for a xt2 ! So happy that i buy 2 years later a x100f ! One happy familie ! 😊
I have always love the silver x100f just for the looks and now it was cheap to buy and i like de F more then the V because the D pad and the silver part is more Nice !
Omar, I just discovered your channel and immediately subscribed, love your videos!
Does the Xt2 have a similar "auto-flip switch" like the xt20?
Nice review but you missed a key feature that sets this camera apart : leaf shutter. You can use the cheapest flash from any brand and still do hypersync. I use a small 2AA battery powered flash to crush the noon sun! I put the Aperture at f2, use a fast SS up to 1/4000. I believe at that speed the camera defaults to a smaller apperture to sync with flash....but it is still effective to control ambient light.
Love the humor!!
The X100 series are the perfect second camera. I love my X100s and use it more than my DSLR but at the end of the day, the DSLR is just a better all around camera and can do stuff the X100 can’t.
But the X100 fits in my pocket or a little shoulder bag. So it’s the camera I have with me. The DSLR is usually at home in it’s big Lowepro rucksack with lenses and flashes and filters etc. The DSLR is the camera you take when you go out to shoot photos. The X100 is the camera you take when you go to buy groceries.
“Get a Sony!” Loved it!
Hi Omar..............another great video. Xt20 with the fuji Pankcake would almost give you a X100F size wise. But with the ability to change lenses in the future.
Glad you have not become embroiled in the latest Jpeg V Raw wars going on at the moment. :)
X-E3 with that pancake lens (XF 27mm f2.8) would be an even closer size match to the X100F.
Omar, Can you do a review of the 16-55 lens and how it operates on the Fujifilm X-T20?
Doooood The XT30 rocks -It's like a stick of dynamite in a small package - plus the wayit works with pawn shop legacy lens-- whoaa.
Looking to invest in first camera body and lenses what system should I go with, torn between Fuji xt20 or canon mirror less?
Lol at the Sony burn! Hahaha I own both Sony and Fuji. 🤗 so impressed with Fuji files it’s amazing.
The Sony joke made me subscribe. :)
Hi Omar, huge fan of you, your videos are funny and informative. One question: what RAW converter do you use for your X-T20? A lot of Fuji users use Iridient converter rather than Adobe product for its superior demosaic algorithm for X-trans sensor. Maybe you could do some comparison video about it?
Omar, I’ll love to see you making a video about the original x100, I’ll be great
iam not a pro and i think is one of the best solutions for everyday use, travel etc etc..
How many IKEA pens do you have?! I'm calling the COPS!
AwesomeKicks NO!!! That was AT IKEA I swear!!!
Ok I believe you lol :)
Man, you’re awesome 👏 😎
Have you ever considered doing Theatre or Comedy. You are incredibly funny, witty and amusing in a great way! Happy Holidays! :-)
C'mon...they'd throw tomatoes....haha...thanks a ton! Cheers...
ISO can assigned to the front dial so no problem!
Omar can you make a review or recommend a camera case for the X-T20?
Thank you for the review, it helped a lot!
You've got a new sub and you are one step closer to being millionaire lol
I like your videos, and i am in the process of getting my first fuji soon (because i have big ass nikon d4 and i need something smaller for everyday use)
Where's my check??? lol..
@@ogonzilla ✔ here it is
Hi Omar, can I suggest something on macro photography. I know the Fuji auto extension 11mm tube is quite expensive but here in the UK there is a company named JJC that make similar auto tubes for about a third of the cost of the Fuji one and it works just as well. Regards Gordon
Really nice!
How's the durability of your X-T20? The rubber seems to have weak adhesive, and some buttons have inconsistent response. Experienced that in every single shop I visited that had the X-T20 up for demo.
AwesomeKicks so far so good with me. I'll report any problems down the road for sure. PS dropped it HARD twice and it's alive so happy there.
is that a custom lens hood for the 56mm? I hate how big the standard one is im looking to get something a bit smaller :D
Hey! I've been debating between getting this camera and getting a ricoh gr ii, pocketability is a BIG must for me. Do you have any advice?
For curious the original X100 is a used bargain, at a push you might find a cheap S.
hows the weather sealing on the xt20? i know it doesn't have it so im concerned about water getting in when i shoot near something like a beach or windy sandy places like that and i cant afford xt2 haha
take a pancake lens and x-t20 will become pocketable. 27mm for example - it's same size as on x-100f. I use it as a default lens, it's great
Good Vid. I agree on the major points, but then, I'm a X-T20 fanboy :)
Mindrover damn...me too lol
where did you get the lense hood for the 56 1.2? i have that lense but the hood is different
And what about the electronic + optical view finder? What’s your opinion?
just saw this video today. Funny I am here because I am switching over from Sony a6000 (which I think the one you are trolling :-)) to this camera. Hey...that R2D2 popup flash is useful...hahaha
I loved my x-t2 and honestly I rarely brought it with me...cos of lenses. Loved my 35 1.4, loved my 56 1.2 and my wide 10-24, just perfect! BUT....having the camera with me at all times when I go out just weighs more.... Im considering x-t20 with 23 f2.... or 27 2.8... I would always consider...hmm should I bring my 35 alone??? or should I get the 18-55....or wide. Having the sony a7r2 and its great for product photo but it has no soul, no fun factor, and I HATE the shuttersound on a7r2. just terrible.
Looking to get into fuiji gear so very helpful film. But hv u done one on the x100v ? (Even more cash !! ). I’ll just hv to look at yr home screen... Thks.
What is that lens hood you have on the 56? Mine doesn't look like that!
Nice video, man...
I had a thought. Are you Omar from the Apple Panther announcement? You had JJ Abrams on in that piece....c2003?
Lol I subbed because of that Sony joke. Haha. I'm all about the looks😄
Hey Omar! Does the Xtrans 3 sensor far better than Xtrans 2?
Oh man. You're brave with that title :)
Haha...you know it!
me too ! LOL,
great video Omar !
I owned the S... loved it! Don't need that range now but I wouldn't say no :D too many options now... :D
so... I've been using the X-T20 (silver) + 23mm F2 (also silver) for my street photography setup... I love the way it looks, but I have the opportunity to pick up an X100F, brown edition and that camera is absolutely GORGEOUS! (ugh, I wish RUclips allowed picture comments otherwise, I'd totally post it). I was tempted to sell the X-T20/23mm F2/18-55mm and buy that brown edition X100F, but I think after watching your video, I'm going to hold off and perhaps find me a silver 27mm F2.8 because that would make it a smaller package (which is another reason why I was gravitating towards the X100F).
what did you do?
Leaf shutter. Everyone forgets about that. Sync flash at 1/1000 and use the built in ND filter. Reason enough right there to own a 100 series. Unless of course you're not into the whole strobist thingy,
Omar, which would you get, xpro2 or xt2? Why?
"I'M NOT A MILLIONAIRE."
You are so funny, and I learn so much watching your vids.
So, this new sub says thank you.
I LOVE my x100f--for all the reasons you said, but mostly because it has forced me, willingly, to become a better photographer. To think about the composition, to use my feet, to dream of the outcome, and all in a perfect little package. I take it everywhere. Yes, even to the dentist.
What do you think of micro 4 third camera?
You didn’t even mention the Leaf shutter lens and high-speed sync, It takes awesome portraits.
PLEASE review the 56mm 1.2 ..can’t wait!
Brenda Chung will do
I did and very happy with my choice.
Freddie Carpio it's a great camera!!
Omar Gonzalez Photography Yes indeed. Great walk about camera. My DSLR is just too big most of the time.
Hi Omar, Great Video. I ran into you at PhotoPlus Remember oh well it does not matter. I have owned at Fuji x100, x100s and x100T going back to 2011. It was a great into intro Fuji with the x100. I loved those cameras and if I had room with my xT20 and XPro2 and $ I would get the F as a spare. BUT the reason I would not buy an F is Fuji is because its using that same F2 23mm lens as the original. People may disagree but it just is not sharp at F2 at any distance. It does not sharpen up until F4. I have the XT20 with a 23mm F2 it is amazingly sharp at F2. Just don''t get to close you will get a dreamy look. Plus as you pointed out its if you wanted the x100 look just buy the pancake Fujifilm XF 27mm f/2.8 lens but it is also not so sharp, a stop slower and quick focusing is an issue. RUclips does not like links but if you search "Fuji x100 • Fuji x100s • Fuji x100T Photos Montage - Lou Walter Wilson" you can see a video of photos over 5 year period with thess camers
of course I remember you Lou. Great meeting you. All great points...I think for street shooters shooting 5.6 or f8 the point is moot...but, yup...for me...I like to live wide open. Cheers..
That week I might have been shooting shooting 5.6 or f8 but settings change as you learn as you know. See at the nest Photo Plus. PS I sent you a friends request on Facebook
I have the X100s and I love it for all the reasons you loved the X100f but I don't do video so that part of its less good features doesn't bother me.
Do you still feel the same about the X100 after the X100V came out?
Why not opt for the x pro-2? Or the xe-3?
*At that time..*
The Fujifilm X 100 series is the best second camera in your collection. Your first camera like the X T20 is the jackknife of the trade, put this lens on, take it off and put another lens on, etc. The X 100 series is your muck about, go downtown, travel, take to parties camera. Using a fixed lens camera frequently provides the experience to frame in your mind quickly and choose the "decisive moment" swiftly. Its a run and gun camera. When I am doing wine country tours in British Columbia, ship cruises, shots of my first grandchild, shots of my daughter in laws marathoning, this little camera is the one I grab. If you are newbie to photography, I wouldn't recommend this camera, instead choose the X t.. line or the X T... line. But if you already own a interchangeable DSLR, then unless you're a pro, you don't need to repeat what you already have, this is the perfect second camera.
I really really appreciated this video! I wanted this for street photography, but also wanted to be able to take video too. You explained this perfectly and helped me save $, so huge thanks!!!!
bridgeettee Glad to help. The 27mm pancake lens is a great way to go IMO for a street camera.
Will it ok if I use phone charger for x100f?
Great video ! would you recommend for a beginner or almost beginner...for mainly portraits (close up + environmental portraits) the XE3 rather than the the X100F ? with two or more prime lenses... Thx !
Chris Annecy for the way I shoot, it would be the xe3 with a few primes. Simply because I enjoy super wide sometimes. Also telephoto for headshots. But the x100 series can force you to become a better photographer.
I see your point Omar, it makes sense, many thanks !
Yes, the x100 should be a pre-req everyone should have to use it for a year or 2 before they upgrade....
Had it and got a XT-30 instead. The lens is still the same as the original x100 and when doing landscape fieldcurvature kicks in as hell. The whole concept is great but the lens is a real bummer for me.
Hi, what is the " Lurr " ?
Thanks Omar, nice video/review/vlog, LOL, the 56 is to slow, cant do street photography, for portraits yes, Heavennnnnnn on my XT1.
The 50mm f2 sounds like a great small and fast portrait lens too! :D
Agreed. 56mm isn't a street camera. Thinking the 23mm or 35 is better
Laughed so hard at 2:09
Hi Omar, thanks for the videos on the xt20. Question tho, I was debating between xt20 and x100f for the longest time and finally opted for the former. But I’m worried that xt20 (18-55 kit) won’t be able to take great low light street photography like the x100f can. Is this the case or are they equally good? Thanks for the advice.
I'm in the same camp, using the X100S also have the 50mm conversion lens, in order to properly upgrade Id need 1500-2000$ to get the same results in a better body plus a 1.4 lens. I'll have to save up for a really long time ! Fuji doesnt have a good range of 35 or 50mm 1.8 lenses; its either F2 or 1.4 it seems.
@@nightwatchpov3926 what did you get, guys?
I love the old school look of the X-T20 yet I HATE the old school look of the X-100f. Maybe I just dislike viewfinder windows and always-visible flash bulbs.
