I've been loving this camera and looking forward to a more long term review in the future. Would love to hear anyone esle's experience when it comes to heat, as that remains my only real concern.

My copy stays warm during light usage, just walking around and taking the occasional photo. It has only overheated to shutting down during video recording. Still, it's a little concerning. The camera warms up and drains battery even while browsing menus. I'm hoping Fujifilm addresses the issue.
Kudos for being the first person to mention the thermals in any sponsored coverage of this camera.
I have had no issues with my X100V feeling even warm.
In UK here...took it out tonight..12°C / 53°F .... Only took stills, but it got noticeably warm....not hot...but it makes a nice hand-warmer :) that was with no EVF only OVF...few menu changes...bit of chimping....took 30/40 shots over 2 hours.... Bought it 3 days ago..latest firmware was pre_installed. My overall concern, is that this will shorten the lifespan of the electronics. All the heat seems to centre around the grip, although the battery itself (when ejected) doesn't feel hot. Weird eh ? All the best...and thanks for the video 👍
Great review- thanks for the effort. I find the durability of the np-126 batteries very acceptable especially compared to the former smaller batteries for the X100 series. Advantageously, the battery is now interchangeable between the X camera series, e.g. XPro and XT.
Love your review style man. Not punched up and silly like so many other reviewers. Really informative, analytical, and concise, but totally easygoing and engaging at the same time. Awesome work.
I preordered the X100V as my first model of this series. I was really waiting for an X80 (because it’s predecessor is sooo tiny) but now this one has my attention. Great video as always! Keeps up the good work!!!
I pre-ordered mine a month ago and I still don't see anything coming ... Thank you for this brilliant review which only increases my impatience. Greetings from Paris!
I only take photos as a hobby and I still love, love, love my x100t. Yes, the new one looks amazing, but I really can't justify the price tag atm. I got the T used, and might do the same in a few years with the V.
Best review I have seen so far. Thank you very much for your comment on manual focus, which is what I have been wondering but overlooked by all other reviewers.
Cheers for the review! Looking forward to that next video!
The Really Right Stuff base plate for my x100s provided me additional grip security without the thumb rest. It made the camera just less than a cm taller and gave my pinky an extra hold. I bought it for the Arca mount, but appreciated it more for the grip extension. I know, RRS products are pricier, but wonderfully machined.
Agree with this review 100%. Would also add that the video quality is fantastic on the camera. Pretty much the same video you get from the XT3/4, you just can't change lenses (and no IBIS like the XT4). The color profiles in the camera are just ridiculously great, too. We shot a short film using this camera and the Eterna profile (we didn't want to do a lot of coloring in post) and it was amazing how great it looked. The 4K video tests with the B&W profiles were also great. Fuji knocked this one out of the park IMO.
Never was into fujifilm cameras until I used the x100v. It's a fun camera you always want to use.
Nice video comments by you. I have the V and definitely the images already look more “organic” and a couple have reminded me of my old xpro1
The speed of focus has improved and it’s now possible to shoot at F2 all the time -well done Fuji!
Awesome vid. I also ate my own words 😅. Mine is arriving on Saturday. Super excited!
I totally get that feeling you spoke about, though I had it back with the X100S as well. This is a cracking update to an already solid camera. Great images by the way, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Damian!
I can't wait to try one of those. I really love my x100f, but these improvements seem awesome.
Totally with you regarding the shutter sound. Keep up the great videos.
The camera was on my wishlist as soon as it was announced. Definitely will be my first x100 camera, but I am waiting till next spring to get it. Love seeing all the reviews.
capturedbyannamarie same boat!! I loved this review and moments! Eager to work these extra hours to afford this lovely thing of a camera
I am not a Fuji shooter but have fallen for this little gem of a camera. I’ve not had the opportunity, as yet, to get my hands on a V but have had a little play with the F, so have already made the decision that I’m going to buy one. I’ve long admired what Fuji have been doing with crop sensor cameras and really want to be part of that, and for me this will be a perfect take everywhere camera that I want with me all the time, whether that be for street /travel photography or just those intimate family opportunities. Agree it is a shame that Fuji went to the effort of making this camera weather sealed but didn’t go to the full length of providing the adapter kit, so at least it’s being discounted for launch, here in the uk, so will definitely add it. Really enjoyable video, now subscribed, thank you 🙏
Oh and the conversion lens testing you mentioned at the end!! I was looking for reviews like that through the internet in the last days since the V came out. And it seems no one did it. So again, thank you for serving us, you’re awesome 🤛🏻
Sure thing! I'll be going into that in greater detail next week.
@@AndrewGoodCamera I'll be watching with interest, as I felt the T/WCLs degraded IQ on my X100T a tad, especially sharpness/microcontrast.
The shutter sound!!!!! I thought my camera was broken and almost returned it because of that! Also yes pls give us an x100 wide
You can make it weather resistant by simply mounting a regular UV Glass on the front element. No need for conversion lenses and mounts.
I've sold all my Gear to go minimal with It. So far so freaking good. I love how this One camera one Lens makes me feel. The Lens Is sharper than 23mmf2 and thanks to this the dof looks thinner.
I've done the same, sold my XT3 and lenses to go minimal with this X100V and for me it makes photography really exciting again in a different way. It's a damn fine camera, except I agree on the shutter sounds - they really suck bad
good timing, after corona so many pros will go bankrupt and will have to sell their gear to survive... well, if i'm lucky (i'm not a pro), i'll get this baby 2nd hand for 40% less quite soon
I’m doing the same thing! It’s very cool to cross paths with like minded people. I am tired of multiple cameras and lenses and charges and batteries and filter and a backpack and blah blah blah. I just want a single camera, a tool for photography, one friend. Y’all take care!
@@johnbullock8885 Same, taking photos feels like an event with a lot of gear. This isn't a burden to take with you everywhere.
I am actually browsing around these videos about the x100v to try and convince myself to exchange all my gear to this one. Came across this comment and I am glad there are same shooters out there.
Great quick thoughts. I share your excitement!
I expected good reviews from you Andrew, but this was beyond my expectations, these user experience makes it the most valuable review of the X100V, plus you really went to town with the dislikes.
Interesting point about the 35mm-e focal length being 'boring', as that's kinda what I like about it. I'd more charitably describe it as 'invisible' - it's the anti-gimmick lens, showing a very natural view that doesn't lean on tricks like compressing perspective or wideangle drama. Another thing I like about it is It's easy to make acceptable pictures with, but difficult to make really outstanding ones with, so it's a good way to push my photography skills.
I agree totally agree with you, it's an incredibly versatile focal length. Not as good as you would ideally use, but can work very well. For example, portraits. I prefer a 50 for portraits but I've done very well with a 35. A very flexible lens.
Incredible shots Andrew!!!
I agree with the grip and shutter sound, Other than that no complaints. Xpro series shutter sound was perfect.
Thanks for this video. I sold my x100F for the V. The image quality this updated 23mm lens is superb, and the 4 stop ND filter is simply amazing. I also have the XT3. but to do street, this is the one I take for sure. I have never noticed the shutter sound because I have never turned it on!
Weather sealing for me isn't so much a deal breaker on any camera. I tend not to shoot in conditions that are that inclement unless I have an umbrella anyhow, but as someone who spent the first half of my photography career shooting film (there were no other options back then) the articulating LCD screen is something that I derided as totally frivolous until I actually started shooting Architecture and spent so much time on my aging knees to get the correct angle. My Nikons at the time did start to offer an articulated screen but with huge battery draining electronic 'mirror lock up.' The X-A1 and then very quickly the X-T1 saved my knees!
With the slim and recessed profile of the LCDs now, there is absolutely no excuse for Fuji not to make an X-E4 with the same LCD that the X-100V has. I still enjoy my X-100F, my X-E2 and even my 'ancient' (in digital terms) X-20, but for WORK, I also 'am spoiled' and I need that waist level finder that I used to have on my Hasselblads! :)
Good review (as usual.) I may end up with a V in the future after they've been out for a while and there is a used market. I don't mind the 'artistic' softness of the F for what I use it for and the advanced video features of the V aren't something I'm looking for. I don't have an attention span required to shoot decent video. LOL
Ordered mine a month ago and it should ship in a few days. Will probably be the most joy I've experienced with a camera since that already ancient Leica IIIG I used in the 70's while at the S.F.A.I. and blessed to have Imogen for a semester (still have the IIIG - but no darkroom anymore). I think the X100V will give me some of those feelings again and rekindle more of my love for photography. I've been waiting for a long time to make a reasonable investment in digital, after a string of lower cost point and shoots that never really engaged me. I think the technology is finally advanced enough that I won't feel as though if I waited another six months I could have had something half the price and twice as good. This one maybe a "keeper".
I’m with you on the old models, I’ve had 2 and sold them. I ordered one a few weeks ago and it sounds like I’ll be happy with this one, great vid and I’m sure the humble pie was nice 👍
Humble pie is super easy when you're as humble as I am. ;)
Interesting Video Andrew. What I love about my X100V is the lack of attachments, I have other systems with lots of lenses and I was always wanting to try new glass, but there's a great joy to be had with a camera with no additional lenses. attachments or accessories (though I did buy the NiSi almost invisible lens hood/filter combo for weatherproofing). The beauty of the camera IMHO is in its old world simplicity. Don't need a bag, don't need to stop and fiddle around. What a sweet change. Ends up making it an inexpensive quality purchase.
the more I see the silver version I want the black stealth version
As a 50ish-year-old photographer, I got the all back X-T2 and the silver X-T3 and I can see the black version way better without wearing my reading glasses. I'll be going for the black as well.
I’ve always been a black camera kind of guy and was going to preorder the black until 1. I heard everyone raving about the beautiful silver color and 2. The black comes out two weeks later. The more I see that beautiful silver aluminum finish, the more I think silver is the way to go, for this version at least.
I own a chrome x100 and a black x100t. My black t is very stealthy I get much less attention because it looks like a point and shoot camera. The chrome x100 is a conversation starter, I have people walk to me and ask me about my cool looking film camera. 🙂
My silver X100T allows me to be none treating (street photography wise). People just think it's an old non-serious camera that I'm messing with. Oh, I'm 73, so that helps with the myth.
@@michaelschmitt5413 you need a golden bling bling version, so they will think of you even lower :-)
Happy that you mention the electronic shutter sound here. I accidentally set my x-e3 to auto and thought my camera broke down because of this annoying shutter sound. It was like a screw had fallen out somewhere and the shutter was scratching it. Should really be changed. 😄
Beautiful photos of your family!
What I love about Fuji cameras is they are GORGEOUS! I can't afford Fuji X100V, but I'm saving up for the X-T100 or the X-E3.
I would love to have the same focusing as a Leica on a Fuji x100 series camera. I’m not a fan of the wire focusing thing they use & I also love to use manual focus lenses.
Was looking at this cam for a compact cam. Went with the Ricoh GRIII instead. Fits in pocket and easy to carry around.
Very nice, balanced review. Thanks a lot. I can tell that the X100s and X100f don't heat up. But I don't live in such a warm area. For a better grip I would recommend a wrist strap like the Peak Design Cuff Camera Wrist Strap. The 'ash' version looks nicer than the black one on this camera. With that wrist strap you can kind of 'wedge' your hand against the camera which provides stability. Also, I like the b+w photos in this video very much! Great subjects (barns, abandoned cabins).
Nice video Andrew. I’m interested in this camera. Look forward to getting my hands on one to try for myself soon.
Good to hear from you James! It's a great camera.
Perfect camera! I own at the moment the X100F with an UV-Filter from B&W and for landscape I’m using the Zeiss circular Polarizationfilter (bought for my older Sony RX1R) 49mm. This gives excellent color or impressive Black and White pictures. Maybe in the future I will upgrade to the „V“ but that has time. Many of my best photos are taken with this system.
My other gear: Olympus E-M1X with several pro-Lenses. But that is another story 😁
Nice video! I am not planning to get one myself but somehow still watched the whole video so it tells me something about your videos
😆 Thanks Richard! I feel the same way about your L mount videos.
I have an H1, T3 and recently added a Pro3. In the past I’ve also had a Pro2. After I got a X100T and then the F my Pro2 collected dust, so I WILL NOT get an X100V because I know it will happen all over again: the Pro3 will sit there. I do prefer the drop down LCD on the Pro3. On the XT series I like to shoot EVF only so when I did want to drop down the LCD to be more discrete I had to change the view mode, then then pull the LCD down which is a pain - as you mention - and when I was done put it all back. With the Pro3 I can be in EVF only and if I need the LCD I just drop it and it comes on and the EVF goes off. When I’m done I just close it. That’s great!
The Pro series would be as good looking as the X100 series if they had gotten rid of the dumb angle on the dial deck that creates the optical illusion of making the camera look like Gumby. Since there’s no function for it I wish they had just cleaned up the lines. That is my only objection with the Pro3.
Great review, still undecided whether to get one or not. Re over heating my XH1 does get very hot, but like you I live in a hot climate Perth West Australia. I have to switch it off sometimes.
The camera tends to get warm (not hot, and certainly not overheat), I think is because it's aluminum body. Aluminum is a better heat conductor so it disperses heat more efficiently out of the internals.
I'm amazed at how much I think the look of a camera makes me want to choose one over another. I've been playing around with a few film cameras and the classic chrome topped ones get the most use. I agree that I think this is the nicest looking digital camera out there today.
I'm glad a professional reviewer has finally commented on the warming issue - it seems like most have either not had it or ignored it. I've contacted Fuji about my warm x100v and have been told that they are currently collecting information from users who are experiencing similar issues.
Worked for AppleCare 7 years... this is what they call "Early field failure analysis" which translates to "early adopters are the last round of beta testers." Fuji's engineers will quietly have their factory add a piece of kapton tape, or a plastic shim or some other $0.08 improvement and it'll forever be known that the earliest V serial numbers occasionally had heat issues. Sucks for early adopters, but they're never going to admit the issue, they'll just quietly address it on later production runs.
mykel8 when would you recommend buying a V then?
I heard it's the Bluetooth. Turn it off
Great video and what a stunning looking camera
Yes! I also hate those shutter sounds. You’re not alone. (And I love everything else about it too. Even the 23mm focal length) :)
I enjoy watching your video, listening to what you say, I love the way how you describe your ideas. So it's hard not to press the subscribe button. I like it, thank you!
This is my first digital camera. Went with the black one. It’s dope.
I finally received my silver x100v from Best Buy a few days ago. Looking forward to years of shooting with this beast!
Yep, I had an X100 and an X100T and they were soooo close to the digital Leica M that I was hoping for. But not quite.
Now I'm using an XE-3 with the 35mm f2, and I'm pretty happy with that. It's not a digital Leica M, but it's close. And interchangeable lenses!
Much as I really want to like the X100, I think I'm going to hold on to my $1300 for now.
Nice review! I just ordered one… I’m looking to carrying it with me all the time, to complement the GFX for casual photography…
I will definitely buy this camera used in 2024! My X-T1 needs a sister and I want a reduced-size camera to bring me on every time I'm out.
yep, i'm still totally ok with x70 :-P if corona brings 2n hand prices down, i'll think about upgrading earlier (although i still hesitate b/w fuji and grIII)
I completely agree with everything you've said. In fact my upcoming review of the X100V is going to make a lot of similar points!
Looking forward to that review!
@@AndrewGoodCamera it'll be like yours but with a British accent!
@@cameralabs I mean you say British accent but Birmingham accent would be even better :D
@@DamianBrown I could try but I'm not from there.
Gordon your the man. Been reading and watching your reviews since the fuji F30 6.3 mp super ccd
I was happy yesterday when my TCL-X100 (1st version) worked smoothly with this camera. It does warm up quickly but I don’t mind. A Meike grip would be nice if they decide to make one.
nice review and excellent video quality, loved it
Glad you liked it
16:07
that is the cutest dog I have ever seen in my life
Great review. I also share your "not a fan of 35mm equivalent". I had an X100F for a while and I often shot with the digital 50mm or 70mm on regardless of the loss or resolution. :D The addition of a tilt screen and WR (even if I need to add the filter) has delighted me and made me look to get a X100V. I haven't picked up the X100V yet as I am a bit concerned about the overheating a lot have been discussing experiencing, and I am hoping that is something a firmware can resolve if it is truly an issue. For now, still walking around with my X-T3 and 35mm f2 and not hating it one bit. :D
It’s almost ridiculous how similar our thoughts are towards older x100 series cameras. This was like if you summed up MY feelings for me. Thank you for taking the time. 😁 It is really a love and hate thing. This camera though... I have to start selling stuff out.
Haha. Yup. Trying to decide how I'll be able to buy one. :)
I agree with you about the better manual focus adjustment that is the only thing I realy want added to the x100
Fantastic video. I agree 💯. This is the best camera currently made, and can be so much better with true manual focusing, a focus tab, and a 35mm lens as standard, rather than 23mm. Are you listening Fuji. If not, no big deal, because it's still amazing.
“Articulating” screen?? You will never be a proper camera reviewer if you don’t know the correct industry term is “flippy”.
😂
Scott Magoon “flippy dippy” to be completely exact
@@jonasjung7501 The flippy screen has to rotate 180 degrees on the horizontal axis, so technically, the industry term for that screen is the tilty screen.
@@jonasjung7501 dude. TILTY FLIPPY
a la Kai W
I have ordered mine and waiting for delivery!
great video! I used the E line camera's as soon as Fujifilm introduced them. I was hoping for an E4 that's basicly like this X100V with WR body and articulating screen. An EVF only in stead of the OVF/EVF and a X-mount in stead of the 23mm lens. Strong rumors are telling that the E line wont get a successor. My eyes are now on this X100V. Like you I hope that Fujifilm will make X100's with other lenses. Starting with the X118. The same X100V but with a compact 18mmF2, maybe followed by others. A man may dream, doesn't he
Refreshing Review and on point Comments!
1. listen for it…the shutter sound I want is…SNICK +1 thru +5
2. On the F, I turned Pre-AF OFF, Engaged OVF, then a quick lever flick for EVF if needed, then flick back to OVF. Went through 2 batteries a day for 3 long hot summer days on the street in Boost mode without experiencing internal heat, though a black camera in the sun will get noticeably hot.
3. Your points on the LCD are valid, perhaps Open/Close the LCD might trigger LCD ON/OFF? No button required.
4. Black on order: maybe 6 days, 14 hrs, 187 min…minutes move slowly when you’re waiting.
Nice review...good work ...thanks.
I am definitely looking forward to your full review, I have an x100t but barely use it for many reasons, preferring the X-T3. Maybe the v is the way forward.
M’y x100f was always getting warmer and warmer mark when I was shooting in summer at 36C plus weather
Pretty exciting how film photographers have reacted to the x100v. Maybe maybe digital has finally found a way to capture that special something....
Great review, great photos, and an utterly soothing voice 🤓👌🏿
Aw. Thanks. I don't think anyone's called my voice "soothing" before. Made my day. :)
Denae & Andrew looking forward to hearing you on NPR. It’s more conversational than pedagogical. I like that, it engenders trust :-)
I agree about the shutter as it sounds like a computer. I still want one though
Brother man, good review. I personally love the focal length and with my over thinking and anxiety I have decided to sell all my gear and purchase the x100v. I can’t wait to own it , but first I must deal with lowball offers until I find an actual buyer
Haha. Yup. I'm in that situation currently myself
Andrew & Denae I’ll have to try eBay next, but I hate to lose money on fees and shipping cost. Good luck with your situation. I’ll catch you on the next video
Good review, and great hat!
I had the original loved it but had to work hard with it had the T absolutely loved it but it drown in a flash flood 🥺 got the F no complaints at all love it to bits don’t shoot much close up or f2 stuff so no concern I’ve never noticed lens flare the weather sealing is something I’m aware of so manage it ok the lack of a flip screen wasn’t an issue but with a couple of dodgy knees now that would be a blessing. I’ve agonised about getting the V but as the F is more than capable I’ll save the money and flog the F to death 📷❤️ great vid mate appreciate the effort
congrats on 50k
My new dream camera I guess. X-T series is definitely more practical but it doesn't fit in the pocket. I have the X100s and it does great for the price, though the lens cons you adressed can be annoying sometimes (including the 35mm focal range, it's either too wide or too narrow), which they fixed in this, and added nice modern things like good AF and EVF. The X100V isn't the best camera on the market in any category, but is such a great all-around thing.
Little late to the table, however, great video packed with valuable information, well done.
I agree with you, the x100v shutter sound is bizzare.
But that's just another little problem with this camera.
Hi Guys, Thanks for the video. One small point you raised - the non-linear manual focus. Well in the Button/Dial Setting menu, page 2, the second item, Focus Ring Operation, you can select "linear operation" for a different feel to manual focusing. May I suggest you give it a try! Thanks again for all your excellent videos.
Right. I was speaking more literally, as in the focus is tied to the ring in a linear way with fixed top points. I understand Fuji does its best to allow for linear focus, but in practice it's not tied 1:1, as anyone who has tried to use a focus pull on a gimbal will tell you. Clutch focus lenses work slightly better, however.
I often shoot models with my x100F and totally agree that the shutter sounds are horrible. For models it’s important that they hear when a photo was taken, but the current sound makes the camera seem unprofessional haha. Would love an update on this as well.
YES PLEASE!
That eerie sound from x100v is to drive you towards xpro3
My heart was set on picking this one up, but in the end I had to let it go because of the fixed lens. I just couldn't sacrifice the utility of an interchangeable lens system.
I picked up the X-T30 instead, because of the price point. I'm pleased with it as my first Fuji camera.
Broseph Stalin I have an XT-30 as my first camera and I will save money for the X100V. Have fun shooting!
I'm a former pro (old school film guy) and I have an X100T. I'm surprised they've never added a lock on the exposure compensation dial (similar to an F3.) That was the one improvement I was sure they would eventually do and never have. BTW, no heating issues with the T, even shooting in hot environments.
A lot of x100 shooters like that hellation/glare, it’s sort of been the signature look or a key characteristic of the images of this line, so much so that these shooters are adding black mist filters to their x100v’s, which has the added benefit of weather sealing the camera.
Thanks for the video, Andrew! You're actually making me consider grabbing one of those Fuji cameras (definitely like the retro style, that's for sure). I'm fairly new to your channel, but out of curiosity, how long have you been shooting with Fuji? Also, I know that people praise X100F for street photography. What would you recommend between X100F and X100V for street shots and why? Thank you!
Been shooting Fuji for 4 or 5 years I guess? Whenever the X-T2 was first released. If this video didn't answer the question of whether the F or the V, I don't know what else would. :) I almost loved the F, but chose the X-T3 over it for street because of the reasons I mentioned.
@@AndrewGoodCamera I'll be honest, I was watching your video while washing the dishes and typed up a comment later without re-watching the vid more carefully 🙈 In general, I'm not that inattentive when watching content lol. Appreciate the response though!
*P.S.* I see you're closing in on your first 50K subs, are you guys excited? 😁
Haha. No worries! And thanks
Digital World Beauty - Photography Tips If i say, better go with the newest series of x100. The x100v, that is because the lens has been reworked and it perform beautifully. Before on fujifilm x100f, the lens is soft wide open (at f2) and sharp only at f4, which is a dissapointment. Thats one major upgrade from x100f. Also the sensor is the newest one too, it is the same with all of the 3rd gen sensor of XT and Xpro series (XT30, XT3, XT4). The eye af is improved as well that will make streets shots easier.
@@zinokoji3763 Thank you very much for your input! 🙌
the OEM leather case for it is really nice. much easier to hold
I think this is the first video about the X100V that isn't all hype! The little critiques are on point.
Haha. I mean, it was a little hype. Let's be honest. But thank you. :)
hi, for the grip issue some of you had have, the leather half case solve that matter, add protection and the feeling in the hands is "oh my dooog" 😍
think about it 😉 cheers
DanielRVmusic which leather half case?
@@Weird_Quests fujifilm-x.com/global/products/accessories/leather-case-lc-x100v/. 😉
We can always add grip, but not always take it away. I prefer the smaller grip with the thumb stock thing, for a smaller profile, and better leverage point. I'm not really full handle gripping my camera anyway.
Thanks for the excellent review. Absolutely agree with you about the focus by wire issue and the shutter sounds.
X100 are perfect cameras to take with you everyday
Welcome back

Aside from the close up sharpness and flare, did you find the image quality noticeably improved? I'm happy with the x100f in use, would only upgrade if the iq was that much better. Thanks, great review, you guys are always my first stop for Fujifilm stuff.
Very helpful, thank you. I'm sure I agree with most of what you say, though I love the 35mm equivalent focal length and prefer it to all others. I have a question, which you may think is too dull to pursue. Am I right in thinking that the out-of-camera colours using standard simulation is cooler than on at least the two previous sensors? I tend to prefer the results I get with the X100S, but it's so slight I fear I might be imagining things (I also use an XT30, so I have the latest sensor only in a different body). Thanks again (I envy you the landscape you live in, BTW. Dublin doesn't quite compare with S Utah!).
Very interesting. I had not heard or seen that there was a change in temperature with color output. But that's something I will pay greater attention to, in the future, certainly. Not too dull a question at all. And man, Dublin sounds amazing! The grass is always greener, my friend. :) In this case, quite literally.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Have you by any chance noticed a coarse, scraping when turning the manual focus ring? I’ve already returned mine this morning, with more and more people picking up on it.
This copy does not do that.
Love your reviews, Andrew. Nice job. This is the first X100 model that has really tempted me-but, unlike you, it features my favorite focal length. :-)
I think keeping the same battery as the past model is good for the environment as it allows a person to trade up from a prior model without having to buy more stuff. If the front grip is grown further then the camera will just get bulkier which I personally think would be a shame. Shooting 23mm, 35mm equivalent, I find perfect for most photo situations and I can usually photo stitch if needed to go wider. I think that for going wider best to stick with an interchangeable lense camera. The X100 series is that camera to always have with you. Maybe there’s a need to start offering the growing HEIF photo format as well as JPEG straight from the camera. But then I shoot mostly anyway.
All these new X100's are teaching me the one thing that always seems to happen, the First one was the best. No broken Joystick, no image quality issue because you're expecting poop from the get go.
In my experience it's the D-pad, not a joystick, that always breaks.
While the weather sealing keeping water out of camera, might also be trapping the generated heat inside the camera body.
