The unbearable hype surrounding the Fujifilm X100V… and lots of pictures to justify it

- Who would have thought this little camera would get so hyped almost two years after its presentation? Copies of the Fujifilm X100V are being sold in the second hand market for far more its price tag in the shops. What exactly has happened? Why is it so hyped? And better yet, is it really that good? Is it worth it?

Beautiful images and the video was nicely done!
So glad the gentleman who found your camera was a good soul. Cheers to that guy for doing the right thing!
Keep up the solid work, fellow Fuji buddy! 🙌🏽
Thank you for helping me selling the camera after 2 years of use for the same price 😂
Not long until the next model comes out... 👀
@@martinhendry x100z is being tooled up now.
@@martinhendry is it confirmed? when?
Are there any leaks?
Mee too! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They even paid me more, after 2 years then I paid for the camera new! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really enjoyed your video - and how inspiring to have your camera returned to you! The X100V is a fantastic camera!
Love the lent camera story! You are right about how a camera can change your life. For me it was the Pentax K1000 so many years ago. Photography can be such a joy!
Greetings from the USA! I really enjoyed your photos and edits, and the stories as well. I'm glad I found your channel and I just subscribed.
As the owner of an X100T, which is my favorite camera of all time even though I also own a GRII, X-Pro2, X-T3 and X-H1, I understand your passion for your X100V. There's something liberating about a fixed-lens camera, which takes a lot of the variables out of the process and allows you to focus on the moment.
Two delightful stories … thanks for including them in this excellent video. I ordered my black X100V from a local camera shop back in February … it finally arrived in September! At least I only had to pay the Fuji list price! Definitely worth the wait! Cheers from Montreal!
From which store did you buy it? I'm also in Montreal. I bought a Ricoh GRiiiX
@@7evive May’s Studio in Hudson, QC.
Some really heartwarming stories in this video. Really put a smile on my face. The images, wow. Incredible. Subscribed!
I’ve just bought an x100F. Hoping to learn somethings from your channel. Do you have some recipes posted on X Weekly?
Thank you for the great content 🙏🏻
Hi Carlos, i really enjoyed your chill narration on the video. Austria is one of my very favorite countries I have visited, happy to have subbed to support your channel. Cheers from Oregon!
Sincere effort for this lovely video. Thanks for sharing such precise information. I am extremely impressed with your Clear Heart and transparent thoughts. I wish you all the best for your future project / videos. With Kind Regards🙂
The x100 line is truly special. I had the x100f and I loved it, but needed interchangeable for the shooting I do, so I sold it..listed it and sold it in two days, the resale value on this line is outstanding. I really feel like I need to get a x100f again.... and.... the film simulation on these cameras is beyond beautiful, truly remarkable
Hey best way to sell a camera / lenses on line ?
Great video Carlos! I really enjoyed your demeanor and personal anecdotes as well as the excellent examples of photography. Great stuff!
I preordered this camera as my first camera a few years back. I also grew into an a7iv as well and have used a lot of other cameras since then. Easily, the x100v is my favorite camera and the one I ended up just carrying with me everyday. It feels so so so good
Nice job on the video, great shots.
Wonderful story of how your camera found its way back to you 😎
Great video and your kindness with that young lady is in itself why there is so much hope in this world. Ive fallen in love with urban photography and I am on the facebook buy n sell and they actually have one where i live in Canada at $2400 Cad. Its a little too pricy at the moment for me, yet I am manifesting this Camera as we speak into my life. I just subbed and wish you an abundant Newness Year. Blessing from Vancouver BC.
Great story! Nice to hear there are still some decent people out there! I've got an X100V on order and my store said I'll get one of four they have coming in. Fingers crossed it will be here before Christmas. I picked the worst time to finally upgrade my X100.
Great video. I have been using the Sony A7IV and instead of getting another lense today I decided to get the X100V brand new from the store. It feels so nice and special, a homage to what cameras used to be like. This one is a keeper for sure.
Nice video, beautiful photos and good tips (I didn't know about the pro-mist filters). I want this camera.
I think it's such a cool idea that you include your camera settings with every photo. Helps me alot
thank you Steffen, it's another extra bit of work but someone asked in another video if I could add the settings and hey why not if it helps.
@@carlosdomi It's especially great for someone like me I think who just got started with photography, so thank you :D
Got mine a year ago for €950, as new, right here in your lovely town. It's special indeed. And as you mentioned, it can get you into some interesting conversations, of various kinds... gotta love this camera. Liebe Grüße aus Wien 😊
These photos look insanely good. I didn't know anything about this camera until I got a recommendation video for the x100f. I'm in a wheelchair, and lugging my beefy Sony A7riv and lenses around isn't easy. I do understand these are in high demand right now because of the shortage of new one's available. Dammit I want one!
This is such a nice video! I used to shoot with a second hand X100F, before I "upgraded" to Sony A7M3. However, I immediately missed the overall charm of the Fujifilm and exchanged my entire setup for an X-pro3 and haven't looked back since. Again, good job on the video and amazing pictures. Keep it up!
The way ypu got back your camera ❤ This video is a set of stories and photos, lovely, thank you.
wow man you're REALLY lucky. talk about fuji love man...honestly some great shots too. honestly i feel most content creators are a bit overhyped but i really liked seeing this
So sympathisch! Danke für das tolle Video und deine Meinung zur X100 ✌🏻😊
Great video Carlos and congrats on it blowing up!
Incredible video and story mate. Great work!
Thank you so much Deniz!
Loved the photos and the stories. Great video!
Great pics & lovely story Carlos
It was kind of surreal seeing my video as the number 2 result on your RUclips search. Loved the video - especially the stories. Nice change of pace
and I only now realised my Google account is translating every YT title into Spanish for some reason :D
@@carlosdomi 😂😂😂
As others said, your stories stole the show! You're the real deal selflessly lending her the camera. And yeah, it's amazing how such a simple thing can lead to someone's life changing. Lessons to be learned there!
Weather sealed with the filter in place, but you have to be aware of the microphones (two small holes on the top plate) that can allow water in if there is enough rain.
Your use of lighting is amazing! Great photos
Great shots, great storiues, great video. You made my day.
Bought this camera back in March of 2020 right before things shut down due to the pandemic in California. I will say it is an outstanding camera. The quality of photos I get are mind blowing. I love the small form factor and the quality build. It's also small and easy to carry. Good luck to those out looking to get one. You will not be disappointed.
If you don't mind me asking, how much was it back then?
@@synthwave123 1600 euro new
@@synthwave123 $1300
Nice video and really nice photos as well! You did really well buying it before the hype made this camera impossible to get! 📸 Cheers
I very liked your video review and especially your pictures. What is your best custom settings in camera? i loved custom settings with train in motion
Great video! I can’t wait to get my X100V! Cheers from Hawaii🤙🏽
I had the x100v for a short while and it's a great camera but I traded it in for a xpro3 and prefer this one. Tossing on voigtlander glass is superb.
My favorite feature of the x100v was the ND filter. Also the ISO ring mechanism is fantastic though I use the auto ISO and have the presets for 3 ranges of ISO mapped to a button so it's not that big of a deal on the xpro3
I picked up an X-PRO3 3 weeks ago and I absolutely love it!
Great stories! I hope to get one soon (used) as they’re finally available locally
in January 2017 I bought an x100f. I was transitioning to professional work and although I liked it very much, the lens was a bit too soft and it lacked a good high ISO performance. I moved on and bought a Leica Q by the end of 2018. Apart from a much sharper lens, it was stabilized and that was a great advantage. The color was also more neutral and required less or no tweaking. I do keep both as personal cameras and sometimes I carry the Leica as a backup camera for work.
As said, I like the Fuji. I like how small and unobstrusive it is. It works well during daylight and is ideal for street photography. It’s a nice niche camera, but it is hard for me to understand the hype unless the 100v is radically better than the f in many different ways. Sometimes new cameras represent a leap over their predecessors. A good example is the Nikon Z9 or previously the D850. But however much I like the little Fuji, I don’t think all the hype is that justified.
I have had all variations of the X100 apart from the X100T
I owned the original, the S, the F, and now the V. I've also owned the Leica Q (what a great camera)
The 100V is SUBSTANTIALLY better than the 100F (and by that I mean way sharper images up close and wayyyy faster / more accurate autoffocus)
The composition of your images is really striking and took me by surprise!
The original X100 was my first proper camera purchase many years ago. Took it on all my travels. Sure, the spec is often beaten by competitors, but there’s something so fun and intuitive about using these cameras.
Great camera if it wasn't for the terribly slow autofocus...
@@quovadis1951 I agree there. Depends on what you’ll be photographing, but yeah action shots are not happening
Digital cameras have been so good for years now, the specs often don’t really matter that much anymore (and that’s coming from me who after long deliberation upgraded to full frame). I haven’t used a Fujifilm camera but from afar they really seem to have something going for them! I can definitely see how even the "old" X100 would be really enjoyable.
Thanks for a personal and interesting video about the camera. Vielen dank
Great story on how you got your camera back. That was very clever of how they tracked you down through the tattoo, and photo of your work. 📷 😀
I love both histories! the girl who felt in love of your camera, and the nice guy who returned your camera! awesome!
Some beautiful photos 🙌🏼 Camera design is beautiful too.
Had one and liked it, but ended up selling it so I could get an X-E4. Pretty much the same camera with interchangeable lenses. Anyone wanting an X100V should just consider an X-E4 with the 27mm pancake lens. Still super compact, fantastic images, and you can use other lenses if you get bored.
Thanks for this recommendo
Just like the x100v, the XE4 is sold out everywhere 😭
@@RiStKe I ordered mine from Adorama because it said it would be “in stock soon”. Basically it was on back order but it had been confirmed as en route to Adorama’s warehouse. Took about 10 days to receive my order for my all black XE-4.
Amazing photos! And loving the custom color profile you have :) . Not sure if it’s the same custom color profile across the photos. Wondering if you’d like to share the color profile for the trains photos? Thanks!
Fantastic video and lovely lovely shots!
Where might we be able to get hold of your custom color profile?
thank you my friend! I wasn't planning to share those color profiles - I honestly did them for private use so I can speed up my workflow. Maybe at some point it makes sense to sell/share them
That was some nice detective work by the person that returned your camera! Bravo, random person.
lovely stories and beautiful pictures...thank you
Really wild. I picked one up new the week of release and am shocked to see current pricing.
How is the durability of the viewfinder on these cameras? I have concerns about the front viewfinder how it is exposed and how well it would hold up over time
Great video! I love the photos. Do you have a link to the custom settings for the images?
thank you! Maybe at some point in the future makes sense to share those color profiles
Beautiful pictures and great video!
You come across as a really nice guy and a decent photographer to boot and I wish you very success with your channel.
Great video ! Thanks for sharing
I have a Fuji film camera, and I really couldn't decide which camera to get and I wanted this camera so badly, but I couldn't afford both and I went for the embody stabilisation of the X - S 10. But when I've saved up a little bit more coin, I will be getting this as a buddy camera.
Honest video. Subbed mate!
Just discovered you! - love the video,. You seem to have a simple camera strap which I like - where did you find it?
Took my best photo on an X100S six years ago. I bought the F and didn't think it moved the bar very much. I like the old sensor. The V may be different...
X100 series has a mystique. Good performance. Some special features that its contemporary XE and XT bodies don't. I had the X100F, XE3, XE4, and XT4. I ended up keeping the XE3 and the XT4. The X100V and its closest sibling, the XE4, are near impossible to find these days.
You deserve more subs man! But also making a video about this camera is also going to make the price go up again! 😭😭😭
pretty great sample photos man 😍
Very nice video! Got inspired!
Thank you guys for buying this camera. My m6 can finally have portra for lunch for once lol. But I’m really glad to see the exposure the x100 line is getting because when I started with the T, nobody knew what it was. I do think the ricoh grs are interesting.
some years ago, in a train between Vienna and Budapest, I saw someone taking photos with what I know now was an X100. For me, back then using Canon, was mind-blowing.
Beautiful video and what a beautiful lost and found story!! Faith in humanity restored
Just thank you for this lovely video. I have nothing else to say xD. Wonderful story telling
Yo Carlos! We should grab a coffee sometime, man. I'm in the 1200 hood :) Great Video and definitely what i wanted to see, as i've been following the hype for a bit!
Love this video! What camera did you use to take this video? Thanks
hey Mark! this was filmed on the XH2, and thank you!
Beautiful photos. What is the name of the filter you mentioned to weather proof? I live in Vietnam and the humidity is insane
any kinda of filter screwed on the lens would "seal it", but you do need a little adaptar so that the lens can move in and out freely when focusing :) and thank you Heinrich
I rarely comment, but this video is just so nicely done. Recently, I've been to Vienna with my old Nikon DSLR and it was such a pain in the ass carrying it around. Most of my photos are shot in RAW and I don't like editing them often, so... X100V just seems like the most perfect dream camera for me. Lightweight, JPEGs are sharp and the overall experience seems so fun. Also, coming from a Ukrainian - Wien ist neben Kyjiw meine Lieblingsstadt. Danke Schön für deine Arbeit. 🇺🇦✨🇦🇹
For the Nikon check to see if you can shoot both RAW and JPEG, simultaneously.
Funniest camera for me was the original Canon 5d with the infamous ef 50mm f1.2L. It was so enjoyable. My set up was center af only with back button focus. Jpegs were beautiful!
I‘m still using that exact camera but with a sigma 35 1.4.
Even being 17 years old, this camera is still a blast.
Great video❤, which Programm are you using for creating your video?😊
Thank you! I’m cutting in Premiere Pro
Great video! Do you use your mist filter only at night or also in daylight?
when I use the X100V, the mist filter is almost always on the camera, no matter the time of the day
What is the pro mist brand that you use, 1/4 or 1/8
Really like your style and thank you that you do great vdo ❤
Hey! Thank you for the kind words and apologies, I am probably mispronouncing the name: it is Tiffen amzn.to/3EZp6dc
The best video I have seen so far regarding this beautiful camera.
Thanks a lot for your video! As the camera is currently impossible to buy new and hard to know if I can trust someone on ebay-kleinanzeige, is there any similar camera you would recommend instead? Thanks a lot!!
Hi Ini! In terms of size, probably the closest is the XE4 with a pancake or one of the "fujicron" lenses. The XPRO3 also offers an optical + electronic viewfinder, but it's considerably more expensive. Both of them have the exact same sensor as the X100V
As a matter of interest, do you shoot every image at F2? I'm guessing you like the look of the Fujinon lens wide open no matter the light or where the subject is in the frame. Since you provided settings I couldn't help notice that.
it surprised me too to see that all the photos I had chosen were shot at f2 :D but it makes sense, I prefer images with some depth over the ones where everything is sharp. And because of the ND filter built-in, I can still use the f2 in very bright situations.
Exactly what i was looking for but I got a used one with two lenses I used most of the Fuji version and have made exhibitions I’m writing currently in India a photography trip with same camera
Gracias Carlos. Buen contenido y las historias muy buena.
Muchas gracias a ti Héctor por pasarte y comentar :)
I love my X100V. I couldn't afford to buy one outright but I got on a list to rent one and finally got it. Unfortunately I live out in the sticks and don't find the time to use it that often, so it mostly just sits and looks pretty. But I'm also loathe to stop renting and return it because it's likely I'll be moving to the city soon and I think that's where it really shines.
Selling mine now to preorder the replacement whenever it comes out.
I have an x100T and what a great camera it is, I've been trying / waiting for over a year for a x100V. I have given up. Supply chain issues may be a problem but it should not be this bad. Question: if you owned a business that was so successful and could not meet demand, would you just give up and not take orders, or would you find a way - any way to produce more product? The markup for this camera is just out of line. I also have an xpro2 and still waiting for the xpro3, same problem.
Where are you seeing these prices? I walked into my camera stores the other day to pick up some stuff and they had a couple in each for rrp
What is your custom color preset for the train shots in the upfront section of the film? I love the colours.
at 1min4s how do you have the line on your screen? as well as how do you shoot the continuous shutter?
I'm amazed your shots are mostly set at aperture f2. I can't do that with my X100S, the corners will be all blurred
great story telling... and the pictures just WOW!!!
I always wanted to own this camera but felt it was too expensive, and look at the prices now. One issue I see is that it is not actually pocketable. So I keep telling myself with an X-T2...4 and a small prime lens (27mm) you basically have the same camera but more versatility.
Danke für das Video. Sehr lehrreich!
Dankeschön Steven!
Nice Video! But i have another question...What jacket is it that youre wearing? Thank you :)
thank you! hahaha got this question a couple of times :) it's a parka by a German brand called "Nowadays"
Sold mine after more than a year use, got back the same amount I paid for, and bought the XE4 with a few lenses
Are these photos JPEGs or Raw then further edit? (May have terminology wrong)
What is your favorite focus mode?
Great shots and stories, thanks for sharing. I am thinking of buying the camera myself, in the UK. It looks great!
Yo, that's my hood in the video! :D Really nice Carlos! I pretty much second all what you said... I love this camera as well!
Beautiful shots amigo, My Fuji is my twin flame🥲
Have you tried the Tiffen Black Pro Mist 1/4 filter? Wondering why you chose the regular Pro Mist filter instead.
Hey! I indeed use the black pro mist, not the regular one. I got that one wrong in the video!
¡Este video es de la puta hostia! Seriously though Carlos, I LOVE everything about this video. It reminds me of why I love Photography, Spain, Austria, and humankind. I just paid $1800 for a NIB silver model with SD card, 2 extra batteries, case, and some other goodies from Facebook marketplace seller here in Chicago/Milwaukee area. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Keep up the good work brother and hit me up when you come to Chicago. Un abrazo muy fuerte, tio. ¡Muchismas gracias! 👊🏻
In one video you told two great real stories. I got more than I asked for in this video lol. Karma likes you man. I wish it was like that for many of us haha... You sold me, now I really wanna buy this beautiful camera
