I'm not a camera person; thus two Lumix LX3s (the second has just broken) and a s/h X100F (purchased a couple of years ago, avoiding the chip shortage and tik-to hype). Still learning and just taking the unusual when it catches my eye. This camera, like you and many others have said, is a conversation starter, even having random people shouting out in the street; nice camera! The jpeg option sometimes doesn't work, ie I chose the wrong pre-loaded recipe, no problem I've got a RAW file, which I can later waste many hours of my life in post-production, often ruining the shot when I go back to view it days later, more is more, but often more is Victoriana/Post Modernism compared with the uncluttered purity of Modernism, bare concrete and exposed galvanised conduits, lovely function over form (I grew up in the 1960-70s, all modernist futurism, no looking back). Great video. Made me laugh, and I confess I often take images of the machines in Launderettes, again function. ha ha .....
I'm 62 and have been a Nikon bells n' whistles man all my life (flirtations aside!). I've had the X100F for a year now using only two sims (natural colour & Acros with green filter) and of course the fixed lens. I photograph all kinds of sh*t and I can't see myself going back (apart from doing things like macro and maybe landscapes). This is the most fun and versatile camera I have ever used, hands down.
This camera is AWESOME. I love it... and I am tired of people treating camera companies as waiters. I agree with you on this one. Fuji delivers so much in every new model but some people will never be satisfied.
Recently got an X100F and the practical tips at 23:06 are much appreciated (even as I remain a $0 supporter). The Star Wars alien voice at 9:27 slayed me. You are an oasis in a sea of AR hyperoptimization, bravo.
Biggest tip I can give you in addition to this video…. Don’t sell it! 🙈 it’s only a small group of people that “get” the hidden references in my videos 👏👏 glad to have you with us 👍
Gold status +500--I'll take it! Incredible deep dive into a very cool camera, good sir--much like a dream, even! Goodness knows I've struggled with colors, too--especially skin tones--so I look forward to trying some of your techniques with my X-T2!
I knew that if anyone was going to notice that bonus track it would be you :))) Very perceptive. Yeah go to town on that Gold status!! not sure how many businesses will validate it but its worth a try :D Yeah let me know how you go with the XT2.... Your last Fuji left :o You might not be a "Bougee boi" for much longer!!
Hear'n ya bro, I am a Jpeg shooter and what got me into the Fuji X system in the first place was the film simulations (me being an ex photo lab rat from the mid 90's might of had something to do with that) BUT also I don't have the time to sit in front of a PC on light room for hours on end. Put me in a darkroom, well that's a different story I could happily spend DAYS on end under a Red safe light snif'n Dev, Fixer n' stop bath. Oh those were the days, God I miss them
I agree with you regarding skin tones. Especially on skin with some colour. Makes my 8 yr old daughter look like drug addict. Your info is very helpful. I’m using x70 at the moment. Thinking of x100f
Your work is so beautiful. What a fantastic eye you have for good light! I have the XE-2s and love the ability to use interchangeable lenses as it’s my only foot in the FUJIFILM experience. But I envy the aesthetics of the x100 series and love that it has an ovf and iso dial! Was the X-Pro 1 compact enough to be an everyday carry for you? I’m considering switching from my XE-2s to the X-Pro 2 to get the best of both worlds, but only if the body doesn’t feel like I’m lugging around a brick haha I’ve never seen one in person to reference.
Nice video. One thing I absolutely loved about the x100f when I had one was film simulation bracketing. Always had standard, classic chrome and acros. Only shot jpeg on this too as even a jpeg file has decent latitude for editing. My heart skipped a beat when I seen the gx80. The only camera I’ve bought twice. Such an underrated gem (I love the 4:3 aspect and often crop to this anyway). And if you get the 15mm you have the aperture ring. However. You never mentioned Bougeeboiz or the Bougee Mafia. Thumbs down and unsubscribed. Ohhh - a little tease of the Olympus E500? Are you using this also? Thumbs up and subscribed!! Take it easy man, great stuff and so glad you’re enjoying this little beast. Looking forward to the next one
As always, you're on point :) Yeah this Fuji is awesome.. It would have to be something really special for me to trade it in... But i'd consider a swap from a M8 :D Just think about it JAJAjjajajaja Man that's awesome that you owned the GX80 twice.. It looks like a beast of a camera. I was and am still tempted. Is the GX85 pretty much the same camera? I notice the GX80 goes for a little more that 85.. Man you're right ... Totally forgot the Bougee boiz!! To be honest my computer froze up with the size of this video, hence the abrupt ending :D Yeah now its the E500 that's going to get some special treatment. And glad to have you on board again ;D
@@shutterslaps4938 yea I genuinely regretted letting the gx80 go. If you do look into one, get it with the little kit lens. It’s actually really good and if you don’t want it, can be traded in for a decent penny. The gx85 is indeed the same camera but just called that in the us. It’s also called the gx7 mk ii in Japan. Check out David Thorpes review on here if it. I also see quite a few more recent videos raving about it in the last year or so. MrLeica was impressed with it too. I’ll never let my m8 go but it’s always worth checking ebay as someone will want to part ways with one for a good deal and quick sale. It’s really a holy grail camera
buckle up, people! this is INDEED one heck of a review and a great one. I've enjoyed every minute and informative rant that was presented. haha. you've earned a new subscriber and I'm getting my hands on an x100f next week!
@@shutterslaps4938 just got it a few days ago and I'm loving every moment! It's my first time owning a fuji and I now totally understand how some users are satisfied with just shooting jpeg. There's so much to explore with the film simulations as well as the different kinds of shooting one could do with it
I also have an F. Love love love it, but I couldn’t agree more. I wish it had the colors my S had, hands down the X-Trans II sensor in my S stole my heart away.
really well put together video! Just got this camera for christmas and it’s been a treat learning all of the capabilities it has. A little overwhelming upgrading from a canon rebel but i think i’ll manage.
Hold on to it for as long as you can. The price of these keeps going up. I think it’s the best of the x100 line as it’s the best balance between colours and ability. I’ve heard the x100v can be a bit clinical . Enjoy man 👏
I’m watching this video long after it was made. I would like to make some comments though about some of the things he said. First of all he referred to the STD setting has no film simulation. That’s not true. The STD setting is the Provia simulation. in regards to his comments about skin tones, I would recommend using the ASTIA simulation. I was shooting film when Fuji announced the new film ASTIA. According to Fujis literature at the time, the “AST” in ASTIA stood for “Accurate Skin Tones”. At the time, Provia was my “go to” color film after trying ASTIA, I switched to ASTIA. ASTIA was essentially Provia with a more nuanced skin tone rendering. He said that he sometimes gets good skin tones with STD. But as I said, STD is Provia. He never mentions trying the ASTIA simulation.
I had the X100 T and loved it. Something got lost past the T though. Maybe the perfection in the lens and the flippy screen? Maybe it's the plastic looking textures even when you turn off the settings? I just checked the price of the X100T BTW.... jeeeez. Close to a decade old and $1300 - $1800 NZ? BTW if you don't want the camera thinking for you shoot RAW 🤪
Thanks heaps man 🙏 yeah they are absolute beasts. The price is all over the shop at the moment. Hopefully things will calm down soon 😅 I ended up letting mine go…. But that’s a story for another video 👌
Great video! I had an x100f... Now have an Xpro 2 with the 34mm 1.4r - love it. Like you said you need a daily driver... I was at the Fuji store in London today and picked up the ex4 and x100v and I'm torn about a lighter set up to compliment.... Subscribed
Hello! Could you tell me, whats better for travel and street photo, x100f or x-pro2 , is too complicated choice for me. Now i have got 5d mk2 and id like a little camera for lite walking)) thx
Its Shania Twain not Sheryl Crow !😁 and the xtrans sucks for skin. I found under exposing a third helps. Thats why i sold my S and kept the original. Night and day with skin
@@alanpayne7656 i tried to like the xtrans ii. I was told to turn noise settings off and skin got better but... something about the 1st xtrans to me just has something special
Great video. I like your remark on embracing limitations. I feel this was the first camera that truly challenged me in the way that I shot. Definitely one of my favourite cameras to use. In the mean time, I think I will charge my DP0 Quattro.
I’ve been eyeing off the XE1 from afar… initially I knew it was a solid performer for a bargain price. However in the last 6 months the price has gone crazy for them and their commanding the same price as a xpro1 out my way… so that makes it a hard pass. I would pick a xpro1 over an xe1 if they are the same price.. I was even looking for a XT1 as they have decent colours too…. But again, there’s a real shortage on the second hand market and these cameras are starting to go for big money. The x100f was a little more but gave so many extra features with it. Very happy with the F
A great excellent review with great pics and samples! I’ve always wanted the X100F but I never did get it.
Thanks man 🙏 it’s a very well balanced and spec’d camera 👌
