While many camera channels focus on talking specifics, you always show how to get the best out of every camera and let the images speak for themselves man. The sheer creativity that goes into each of these videos is unrivaled and a real source of inspiration. Thank you for going the extra mile in every amazing video you produce.
As for the X100V it made me rediscover my love of photography and I couldn’t be more excited for its successor and its potential for video.
Absolutely agree with this statement
Chris Broad camera reviews coming soon????
Damn Chris. Nice to see you here. Have you already taken a photo of Mt Fuji with your Fuji camera?
Nice I didn't know you were shooting with one. I remember that nice vid with Joe Allam. Glad to hear it!
Where can we see your pictures
GXAce sticking to the theme of being transmissions from The Future by uploading a full video about a camera mere minutes after the camera was first announced
The deep, mysterious intricacies of brand partnerships
@@zest.b6127😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😂😂😂
That's how press review embargos work.
Yeah, how did he make this video in mere minutes 🤡
That's not that impressive, he should have uploaded this before it was announced.
No intention of ever getting this camera. Just came here for the GxAce cinema experience.
Exactly the same :)
I mean, nothing against Fuji etc, maybe if i wasn't already invested in Nikon i would consider going for a Fuji... but i come to this channel to enjoy 15 minutes of mesmerizing video, audio and images, while vaguely learning things about some new/old camera or lens.
It's my favourite time of the week and a form of meditation.
Exactly. I’m addicted to the experience. It’s similar to what I experience reading the work of my favorite author, William Gibson. ❤❤❤
Agree
haha same!
The experience is always amazing, but the camera is worth a look I’ve got the 100V and it is a special little camera. It is limited, but that’s kind of the point, you work with its limitations and it takes you to knew places.
There is NOBODY, NOBODY on RUclips producing vides like GxAce. The level of creativity in these videos... the time and love he puts into them is on another level.
James lee does?
This amazing man opening up about having a disability while the title states "limitation is the catalyst for creativity" really is about him and has excelled spectacularly in his artistic endeavors.... Eternal respect to this man..... Another hero has entered the world
Bro! I thought the same ! he is inspiring!
@@cavemancreative8159 Why his videos are masterpieces
Yep.
What’s crazy is like I know there’s a person behind the channel obviously, but man sometimes it genuinely feels like you’re living in a different world than us, and SOMEHOW you still manage to fit genuine reviews for our world within yours. Like what. the. fuck. . . Speechless dude
This metaphor is deeper than you realize when you consider who Gx is.

I woke up to ten X100VI reviews on my feed, this is the one I clicked. I love your style, a real joy to watch. Thank you 🙏
youtubers are like robots 😂 all running to get their reviews out to say the same exact thing as the other 50
As someone who is also affected by a birth defect to my hands (Poland Syndrome) don't think that the courage it took to do that long shot of your hands and to talk about your situation was lost on anyone. Great video as always ❤❤
Oh man ! I loved that video, I'm convinced.
But where can I find the STL for the 3D Print Tube for the 50mm ?! :D
So glad your channel is getting traction. You are one of the best, most unique creators in the platform
THIS IS THE ONLY REVIEW I TRUST
GXAce thank you for blessing us all the way from wherever you are on the time spectrum. Remember us all back here in the 20's as you continue. Remain vigilant 🙏🏼
The moment when you get goosebumps because of a camera review. Your art is amazing dude.
You so perfectly encapsulate the idea of why this camera and a variety of other photo/video trends have their moment. At some point, even picking up an R5, a9iii, FX3, Z8, any of the best cameras *ever made* becomes work. You might love your work, I do, but many didn’t start this path to have a job. They started because they fell in love with making images and the world said the only way you get to do this all the time is if you make money with it. Using old manual lenses, cameras with different shooting styles, 35mm film, older “worse” sensors, or little Fuji cameras with an optical viewfinder and a fixed lens tricks your brain out of the camera being work, and lets you fall in love all over again. It keeps the spark alive!
If you have fun without an expensive new camera, more power to ya. If you’re looking for it but can’t afford a $1600 cam, try some of the other things I said. If you don’t think it should be any fun, leave me alone.
1700€ for an APS-C rangefinder is overpriced BS. However romantic you feel about it
Some of the most fun I have had was picking up a Canon A1 for $120 a few years back and learning photography and film development all in one.
@@no.7893 exactly! Started rocking around with my grandpa’s old Nikon FM a couple years ago, opened up a new passion for me and I’m way better at judging exposure by eye.
Unreal content. You reliably bring me awe.
Where can we get that 3D printed TCL tube though!!!
The train platform shot at 8:21 is so good with movement.
The music was perfect too
This guy is the best salesman for Fuji. These videos are on another level.
I am SO excited. After 4 years with my Fuji X100V - I can't wait to get it's upgraded model.
Man, I sure wish I could buy a big beautiful book of your photography. Can you make this happen? I'd imagine a LOT of people would enjoy that! Your work is stunning. 🧡
Amazing visuals as expected 🔥
Beautiful monologue, photos, and editing. Great work as always!
Also note:
The x100VI can output 16bit tiffs as RAW conversion files. That’s big for me as I use the fuji x RAW software to output their film sims faithfully, usually with any exposure and WB adjustments or corrections. Then I use LR to mask and create grads. Now I can do that on converted Tiffs instead of jpgs!
absolutely incredible video and setpieces! completely agree with your thoughts on in-camera luts/film simulations
I've been fighting the urge to get this camera for so long, and yet this video is the closest to changing my mind 😢
To think a B&W Leica will set you back 10k... this is the steal of a century. No way around it. Its incredibly spec'd for its size and the viewfinder is industry changing.
well one's a true rangefinder camera, full frame, actual weather sealing, a German product made in Germany, while the other is an affordable rangefinder-styled camera with great film recipes. both are different beasts altogether, basically comparing apples to oranges and i like both of them (still dont have the money to own any lmao).
Secondhand Leica Q2 for similar price (in Europe). Just sayin'.
Then it's all about physical size vs sensor size and 28mm vs 35mm.
so I'm looking at Sony for its RX1R2 successor.
Fixed lens is a nightmare when, not if, the time comes to clean the sensor. No thanks!
One is a mechanical rangefinder with interchangeable lenses, and full frame, and a sensor designed and optimised for B&W, and the other is not, and never will be. Leicas are way overpriced, but so niche that making them cheaper would sell significantly more. Since they won't be able to sell 300k units, the development and tooling costs per unit are high. Additionally, if you're buying a digital Leica, you probably already have lenses and bodies, or just enjoy the form factor and lack of gimmicks.
Amazing video. Seriously awesome. Would you share the 3d printing file for the TCL mod? Looks great!
I very rarely post comments online, but feel compelled to congratulate you on your artistic voice. This cinematic experience is so well executed and considered, whilst still giving the info people need. The synergy bettwen your aesthetic and the Tokyo cityscape is beautiful. Great work!
this is possibly the best caption ive read for a vid
You genuinely understand cameras and their purpose so much better than 99.99 percent of other people who review cameras. It's not about specs. It's about experience. Thank you for another glorious video.
Bought an X-T2 to try the Fuji experience and the awful menu system completely wrecks it for me. It has absolutely zero logic behind it and incredibly frustrating. The image quality is also far beyond my fullframe cameras.
@@_rhapsodist ok
@@_rhapsodistdon’t try Sony their menu system is the worst
Can we get a file for the 3D printed lens shroud?
Thanks for making these. Just a pure joy and experience to watch. Cheers.
Watching this at the same time as X Summit, because wow there is a lot more talk than photos or videos
Just ordered! So excited to jump on the Fuji train 🤘
it's gonna be a wild ride brother, have fun!
This is going to be my first Fuji too. Can’t wait.
👊 Nice one, bros! So lit. 🔥🤘
@@Amcacs5654first fuji? Welcome to the club brotha 🎉
Thanks guys. Wow. Such support. Should we start a group chat?
Great review! About photo cameras being more like cinema cameras and using LUTs, the Panasonic S2X is, I think, the first one to allow exactly that and let you upload LUTs to the camera and use them even in still photos. A feature I hope more brands will follow
GxAce would be great if you start selling the x100Vi lens adapter 3D Hood that looks sick!
I love your videos man! Its like visiting the Bladerunner universe every time.
I bought a cheap film camera a year or so ago and fell in love with it because all the limitations that came with it made me feel so much more creative. All the sudden you’re challenging my idea that a digital camera can’t capture that feeling too. I wish i could afford this camera and try digital for the first time. AMAZING video!!
Lack of weather sealing without an adapter and filter still is a huge bummer. I was really hoping they'd address that.
Kai had its sample under London weather, without much of a care.
@@PawFromTheBroons because it's a sample, maybe? Why would he care? If you drop $1,600 of your own dollars on it and use it in shit weather knowing it's not weather sealed otherwise, you have a lot more disposable income than most.
why would you shoot without the adapter and filter. Protects your lens internals against dust and thus rain lengthening the life of your camera.
@@uhnotinterested I'm not saying I would, just mentioned it seems to survive a little drizzle.
Unless Kai is trying to revive his DigitalRev days, and is trying to destroy loaners.
😆
@@uhnotinterested... Literally the point is that it shouldn't need optional accessories to be weather sealed. It's a $1,600 camera - don't nickel and dime for something fundamental.
One of the best cameras we've gotten to play with. Such a great video! LETS GO!!!!
Fuji were smart to give you a review copy. Doubt anyone else will distill the essence of this camera like you did. Loved the subject of your hands and disability too.
YES! It's wild that Fuji hasn't seen and taken advantage of the opportunities when it comes to simulation building by users - they should focus on this, it should be part of the app, it should be something there are specific interfaces for, it should be all about building simulations, LUTs, and sharing them, remixing them, saving and transferring them between cameras, etc. It's the logical progression of what they did when they started this, but haven't followed through on despite the huge popularity of it and their user's choice to just hack it into existence!
Wow some Blade Runner vibes here. You are very talented GxAce👌🏾
Now that panasonic has introduced Real time lut and their colour lab app, i think you don't have to wait for fuji to implement this.
The IBIS isn’t great and the battery is the older version which runs out way too fast for this to be seen as a serious option for video, big nono for me.
Gorgeous camera but for Fuji, the XT5 is the far better purchase.
This feels like what the X100V should’ve been 5 years ago, but feels terribly outdated now.
Another EPIC video. Thanks for creating what you do.
Cool that you talked about disabilites. I was born with my right thumb split (so born with total of 3 thumbs), but since my brain couldn't control them independently doctors removed one of them when I was 2. The end result is that my thumb was significantly weaker and less flexible, so I've always been very sensitive to cameras have good purchase for my thumb and not requiring too much bending. I don't have an X100 series camera anymore, but for me as well it's light weight was great and made it more useful.
I'm excited for the Vs to come down in price where I will be lurking. Great work as always. I was describing your channel to someone and said "he lives in a Blade Runner suburb".
Master ace, please tell me the 3d print u did for the conversion lense! I need this😍
As usual ... A-M-A-Z-I-N-G ... One short comment: The internal ND is identical to the one in the X100V - 4 stops...
Man I wish I had money. Insanely fantastic video love it
Was thinking about buying this, and I'm leaving this page to do so. Trying to give you money with an affiliate link here! Add one, nobody will be mad.
You're an artist, like a really good one.
The handheld long exposure shots of people and vehicles just prove so greatly how IBIS can be used creatively. I can't believe people still parrot the idea that IBIS has no use for stills.
Utterly brilliant video, Casey! Knowing the logistics behind the scenes for this, you've captured a great amount in a short time!
Fujifilm should have used this when presenting the camera. This is truly a master piece!
loved every second of this
I want to nominate a new Most Interesting Man on the planet. This homie! How you going to stitch this level of videography, music, fx, and then have incredible photos too. Lives in Japan. Doing this with super limited dexterity in his fingers. I'm just grateful to witness this genius, for real.
Hey GxAce !
Thank’s for all your work ! It’s fantastic ! Did you shoot in raw or you use simulation ? :)
Love Fuji, but on the subject of LUTs to customize the image you're seeing in-camera (and will get baked into video and jpegs), Panasonic also has a good thing going with their Real Time LUT feature on their newest cameras, which can also be applied to stills rather than just video (as with Sony in-camera LUTs).
Came here to say this. He should definitely check out the S5II.
“LIMITATION” is a gift. ❤
Most don’t understand and will never understand that but you do…
BTW Beautiful work here…
Unless I’m missing something let me ask you if I understand.
So, this whole thing with you as a half human, half machine (cyborg) thing is partly because of your disability?
I’m all about story and back story and although the images and story world is amazing I didn’t get the why…
I couldn’t answer all the questions…
Your images are so beautiful but you can’t even bend your fingers!
Like all super hero’s who in their childhood have to adapt, you’ve adapted to be a master of your craft beyond the limitations of your body, and you did it without complaining or revealing, you did it out of necessity, you do it because you had to…❤
That is my interpretation and im sure im not spot on but we all have limitations but what you described would take photography off the menu for most but not you, instead you go become a hard working, creative, and proper master!
You are a true superhero.❤
Just leaving a comment here to let you know I'm gonna wait till it's dark outside to watch this
GxAce, my god man. Incredible short. 15min of hypnotherapy.
"Because it's fun", then the screen shows your logo and the music volumes up... such a nice ending, such an impact at the end, this is really something that is talking to me, good job GxAce! your videos are always a delight to my eyes. Oh and you made me discover Tony Anderson as well, such a nice composer, thank you!
oh my God, I came for a camera review and found...A GEM!!!! What is this channel!?! I LOVE IT!!! What an amazing way to review a camera!!!
The NYT photography correspondant for fashion shoots with the X100V. If it's good enough for the NYT, it's good enough for me.
Since I’ve got Fuji lenses I’m not super interested in this camera (if X-Pro 4 or X-E5 comes god help me.) So it’s nice to be able to just appreciate that it exists and is this excellent, without the FOMO.
This video is the perfect way to do this.
Stoked to hear Makeup and Vanity Set as part of the score. Stellar video as always. You're really cranking these out now, without diminished quality.
Love love love. Extraordinary creativity and always love your content. Is the 3D printed lens an item to purchase now or something in the future ? :)
Can you share/sell that STL file for the TCL print?
I bought the x100 when it first came out and it's perhaps the only digital camera I've ever had that I miss the *experience* of shooting with. In moving to interchangeable lens Fujis after a couple of years and selling the X100, I kept finding myself longing for the feel of shooting with the X100, even years later. Nothing else ever felt as compelling to shoot with, for me personally and my style. The x100VI might be enough to get me to sell my X-T4 and lenses to go back to the x100 line.
Could you provide a link to the file you used to print that collar for the TCL-X100? I would love to print myself one
another incredible video, but can we talk about the 3D print?! I wanna learn more about that
What’s the 3D printed lens hood you got? Would love to buy the file 🫶🏻🥹
Where were these photos taken? Amazing cyberpunk-industrial atmosphere
YES, every clicks on the Fujifilm camera with the film simulation is what keeps me going for the next shot, it drives the creativity and it's a lot of fun.
x100vi seems like a spec bump with complete film sims and that's when the video would end but you went ahead and made a 12 minutes long video! Packed with more "tech sets" and please, more of it!
This is your pinnacle of creation! Phenomenal.. [insert mic drop .gif here] wow GX you need to win something for this... I'm sure the fuji execs drooled 🤤 over their keyboards and phones after watching this! I am running out of adjectives for your videos... I'll just SHTFU and watch this again... yup, it's that good.
Any chance you’ll be selling the 3D printed mod for the TCL?
Hey, that 3D print around the 50mm was epic. Are you selling these?
Can you please link the 3D printer file for the TCL? It lookd amazing lile that
Amazing review as always. What is the shutter button you have on there? Love the little dimple it has.
I want to like it but fixed lens? No thanks. More headaches than their worth when it comes time to try and get the sensor cleaned.
those beautiful sooc jpeg is why im in love with fujifilm cameras.
@GxAce can you please leave a link with the 3D file for the TCL?
no joke.... the best video of this camera I've seen. Thank you!
AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! That is all. AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! I don't need any other videos on the x100vi. Many thanks! God bless!
This intro homage to the Blade Runner and Pale Fire, I love it!🔥
Great cinematography 🎥as always. I really like your videos for the pictures and the sound and everything...
I don’t care to see anyone else cover this camera, this was all I needed to see to have me floored!
bruh, i was trying to go to sleep and you released this at 1am uuuuuuuugh, fine. 15 more minutes THEN ill go to sleep lmao.
Best camera channel on RUclips!
I can already tell this camera will be legendary, and I hope this video gets the views it deserves. That form factor with the high quality video and IBIS are quite impressive.
I've been considering buying a x100 because of it's simplicity and limitations. I own and have used many "professional" cameras, but lately I've been wanting to keep it simple again. A good camera and a good lens. I think I'll be purchasing this camera soon.
Most unique photography channel on RUclips!
Came for the camera, stayed for the photos.
Briljant review!! Which lenshood do u use on the x100vı?
Just finished the Live Summit and first review to watch??? Hmmmm let's see that wasn't a hard choice.
Excellent cinematography, photography and oratory. Bravo.
awesome Video! Thank you! Which Lens Hood is that?
With modern noise reduction tools I really see this segment of cameras becoming even more versatile than ever. I sold my APS-C mirrorless to move to full frame which I'm now using since 2020. But when I look at the images my signifficant other got out of her MFT camera you realize what potential lies in modern, high resolution APS-C cameras.
Another masterwork. Always a joy and love hearing your thoughts!
