I went to BiC camera today. No XT100VI to be seen. All the XT-5’s are sold out. I’ve never seen the Xt100V in person in Japan. What can this camera do that the XT-5 cannot?
I’ve played around with the Fuji X RAW Studio app a bit, saving custom recipes I already had keyed into the camera, but i did NOT realize that 1) you can input/modify recipes right there in the app, AND THEN 2) upload those recipes to the camera. This makes setting up, testing, and selecting recipes SO much easier! Thanks for that technical insight Jason - brilliant!
I also posted an X100VI video today because we are best camera friends forever. Unfortunately, I did not include an awesome song - always one-upping me!!
I do own both but because the X100VI has all the video features that I got it for, it's the one I will be reaching for the most. GR III is still the lightest and great for purely stills!
I am debating between a sony A6400 and a fuji. Though not sure which fuji. For reference I plan to shoot product photography, travel, landscapes, and just and everyday use camera that i can grab and take pictures. Would this fuji be better for my needs or the sony a6400 or another fuji or camera?
@Omtommyom would you consider it light weight and portable? I want something that I don't mind grabbing on the go and actually wanting to shoot with because I don't mind carrying. While also being good quality and that's worth the price.
@@JasonVong stock ones only. But hey 3 in one shot and you’re done. 1. Press Drive Delete button 2. Scroll down to ‘BKT’ 3. Use joystick to choose “Film Simulation BKT”
@@JasonVong Stock ones only. 1. Press "DRIVE DELETE" 2. Use joystick to scroll down to BKT 3. Use joystick to choose FILM SIMULATION BKT. Everyone I show Classic Neg, Accros, Eterna are blown away at the unique look. Plus no long times spent editing RAWS. In order to choose the 3 Film Simulations to shoot from BKT you have to go to the camera icon (3rd from the top below AFMF) and go to page 2 and choose "FILM SIMULATION BKT" From there you choose which Film Simulation for FILM 1 FILM 2 FILM 3. That's it.
Performance-wise a7C II is a lot better in every regards. But X100VI is incredibly fun! Especially if you don’t want to edit! The JPEGs already look so good
Your review is until now the most unique on this X100VI - awesome job both of you! I totally agree, the video features on the X100VI seems something not a lot of users are using, because they see it mainly as photo camera (specially for streets). But it is simply awesome to have these feature in such a small camera. But the MUCH more important question for me is: how the hell did you managed to get the Peak Design ankers on to the X100VI without the rings? I tried several times and can't do it. It was possible on my Leica cameras, but not on the X100 😅
Taobao! I hardly film 4K120p since it’s too slow for what we do. 6k offers a lil more flexibility for cropping purposes which we do quite often. Overall reliability though, a6700 wins
@@JasonVong Appreciate it! Do you happen to know what the native ISO is in FLOG? I know it's 1000 for FLOG2, but for the life of me, I cannot find any info on if it's different in FLOG.
What would be fun is if they actually fulfilled preorders that were made five minutes after the announcement and still have "No idea" when they will be fulfilled, and it's now the end of April.
i agree on AFC focus. so much different from Sony camera. a few photo using AFC ended up back focused photo. i was pretty sure it nailed focus when snap the picture. Fuji just release a firmware update for X100vi. can u update review the AFC on this camera? initial testing from me was okay. but maybe your testing can be more thorough.
Great video Jason! What a little powerhouse of a camera. I’ve used the X100V for pro video work and it slaps! I used it in place of my main camera because it was mostly b-roll and the X100V was smaller/discrete so places didn’t seem to care that I was filming. I’m sure the new camera completely blows it away. Also when is the single dropping 🎧🎶
The lens on this camera is not very good tho. F2 is too soft and it has weird artifacts in the background. Wish they updated the lens. I actually prefer the image quality on the Ricoh GRIII more than my X100VI
I ordered mine on Feb.20 B&H, and they shipped it already 2 days ago. Tentative date was Nov (last week) in their email to me, but so happy it’s earlier than expected.
I have a xt30 and yah single shot is awesome. If I miss the shot I never think “if only I had my a7iv” because the fujifilm is really just that fun. Picking up my x100vi from my work in a few weeks as Im pretty lucky and work at a tech store and see everything come through first
My 2 months experience: ebay search for near retail prices, follow-up email on my pre-order, reddit search on x100vi photos, more follow-up email about my pre-order, youtube binge on x100vi videos, google search on whether I should just buy a GR iiix, another follow-up email about my pre-order Thank you Fujifilm. Best camera ever.
Sounds to me as though you bought the original adapter lens. The Mk II versions don’t suffer from the same image degradation. You should be able to pick the Mk II versions for under $300, too.
Jiminy Glick voices are inspiring and hilarious 😂 😂! This was my first time watching your videos because I just purchased this camera. Thanks and please try to further imitate Jiminy lol, it's spot on 😅
I bought it because I’ve found with my film photography that I was taking my 35mm 2.8 lens pocket cameras more than my SLRs and wanted something digital that would do the same. Add in weather sealing, ibis, 40mp… it was a no brainer to replace my Olympus em-10ii.
Wide AF is actually terrible on this camera, but the rest works well enough for me. Also I highly recommend the official Fuji leather case. It give you just that little bit of extra grip, also around the thumb area. Loving the X100VI, its my EDC. I've hardly used my X-S10 with lenses after I got it.
Thanks for the suggestion! I will pop by a camera store to see if I can test drive the leather case!

Hm think I stick to my X100V don’t see some great differences except for IBIS. The Autofocus is still crappy so nothing new here. But those cameras make me love Fuji more than Sony. Thinking about getting one of there medium format cams.
Hmm, I'm surprised by your review as especially for video it doesn't seem like a great choice, I was interested in this camera but from my research: Outdated lens with loud/slow focusing (audible if recording video), cannot resolve 40MP wide open, 35mm f/3 FF equivalent so no selfies or landscape or wildlife, a bit tight indoors, limited background separation in full body or even portrait, lower dynamic range than an iPhone 15Pro (tested by CINED), poor-ish low light performance, noisy sensor, no flip screen, poor battery life so you have to buy/bring spares (and potentially remove the tripod plate to swap each time), not great for videography (massive crop in 4k60 or 6.2k, awful rolling shutter, no 3.5mm mic input, ports block grip, drop in dynamic range in higher resolutions), subpar autofocus (improved but far from Sony/Canon), slow performance with film simulations, low resolution hybrid evf, no lens hood / ability to add filters / weather sealing / grip without additional costs, etc, etc. It’s not for me but it is a very pretty camera :) - I had an X-T3 and X-S20 which I loved, but since trying Sony full frame, there's no going back, the jump in quality, usability, convenience is immense and cameras like the ZV-E1 / A7CII can be damn near as small with a compact f/2.8 prime. I totally agree about screwing on filters but then again unless it's a VND it's usually pointless for video anyway?
still happy with my X100S that is still pocketable (and clunkier in a lot of aspects but that characteristic is what makes the little thing fun to use) and it makes me want to pick it up more in a shoot compared to the near-perfect modern cameras with all the DR, and focus modes we have. I have an R6 and it just collects dust most of the time because even if it's a good camera, it just feels boring and soulless.
Who stuck around for the post-credits? 😂

you need a lens and camera count
U can’t even get this camera

You’re welcome! I wasn’t gonna bring it up since it’s not very X100VI specific but figured it would be incredibly helpful anyway. Glad I left it in!
Got mine for a couple of weeks now, and I gotta say it's a fun shooting experience. The fun factor is strong in this camera
I also posted an X100VI video today because we are best camera friends forever. Unfortunately, I did not include an awesome song - always one-upping me!!
I SAW!
Bro, the musical ad at the end with original music was so good, I finally subscribed. Great review!
🥹🥹 thank you!
I love the enthusiasm, just got into camera and this definitely made my day!
Thanks!!!
I’m so glad l stayed until the end of the video!! And thanks for reminding me of the built-ND filter : )
I'm not even a photographer, but I'm so engaged with photography channels that I've forgotten IBIS is also the name of hotels XD
😂😂 every time I see the hotel I’m like “in body image stabilization”
Here for the hot shoe hats. Thank you for the hot shoe hats.
Dedicated to Taylor Jackson
has the new firmware update helped the auto focus?
Can you do a comparison with the Ricoh? That would be very helpful!
Self proclaimed "Sony King" commissions "Frame it Up -Fuji Style" song? This friggin channel is hilarious in it's own unique way. Keep rocking on.👍
How did you tread your Peak Design anchors through the tiny rings without using the included bigger rings?
The ones I’m using are much thinner. Unfortunately these were recalled by PD years ago for being too thin. I have a bunch I saved up 😢
Where did u get the luffy hat for the camera???
man, though I'm a calm guy, I like your style and the clarity in your thinking scheme. Kudos to you! One of the best. Most reviewers are so messy.
Appreciate that!! Thank you!
I have to say, this is the best video you’ve made yet.
Amazing editing, style, photos. Thank you
Great video Jason! How do you compare X100VI with Ricoh Gr3? Which one will you pick if you can only pick one and what is the main reason for that?
I do own both but because the X100VI has all the video features that I got it for, it's the one I will be reaching for the most. GR III is still the lightest and great for purely stills!

why not consider a7c ii? its nearly the same price but u need to spend some bucks for the lens.

Film simulation bracket shooting is pretty awesome. I can get Reala Ace, Accros, and Classic Negative all at once.
What?! First time I'm hearing about this! Does it work with custom recipes? or the stock ones only??

You're one of my favorite youtubers. Love the videos!
do you have your Fuji also and love it or did you have changed to another cameragear?
I like the luffy hat on the camera! Where did you get it?
So it overheats after 2 minutes and it misses focus with a loud focusing motor that sounds like a diesel truck...
I'll take two.
How did u get the peak design anchors to fit direct in the side mounts w/o any ring???
Jason, how did you manage to get the Peak Design anchors through the camera's lugs?
The ones I’m using are much thinner. Unfortunately these were recalled by PD years ago for being too thin. I have a bunch I saved up 😢
Ah, yes, V3. I tried finding some unsuccessfully, so I'm just using a lanyard instead and hoping it's strong enough. Thanks!

@@JasonVong ok that explains things 😅 thanks man for your reply!
Which one would be better to take in 2024?
Photograph or videography Sony a7iii or sony a7c??? One choice??
I just want the hat! Were do I get one?
love the hotshoe hat! where can i get one!?
would love to hear your thoughts vs a6700 4k120p v 6k? what's more useful?

holy chit, the end song...how u do dis?

What’s the gold shutter button you’re using?
One Piece! Law's pirate symbol. I got it from taobao
How long a time frame we thinking for these to come back in stock? A few months?
Think years or never. x100v = ebay = poor people Leica
Ibis is a bird. Am I correct?
is the IBIS on by default? if not what setting do you do to turn it on
On by default but there are extra stabilizations you can turn on for video
Hey guy thank you for your video, how you set the peak design anchor without removing ring on camera ? Thanks
The ones I’m using are much thinner. Unfortunately these were recalled by PD years ago for being too thin.
What would be fun is if they actually fulfilled preorders that were made five minutes after the announcement and still have "No idea" when they will be fulfilled, and it's now the end of April.
i ordered mine back in february and barely got it a couple of days ago😂
@ I finally got the call that one of my five preorders came in back at the end of August
where did you get the hot shoe? I need that!
hey just wondering which version of peak design anchor is that? Mine doesnt seem to fit it
Is the focus better than the V? Mine is horrible
I don’t think it’s that much better
Where did you get Vivian white camera strap?
To be honest, isnt getting like a xT-4 great enough? If im gonna spend so much on a point and shoot 😮
a bit of an off topic question. How did you get the peak design anchors through the ring? I cant seem to get it to fit.
The anchors I used are the ones that actually got recalled by PD because they were too thin. 😅 so they don’t exist anymore sadly
You can try using a thread to pull it thru the hole.
what camera u used to record this vid? :-)
