HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2019
- I have spent 6 months loving this camera, and since my previous videos showcasing it do so well I figured I should do an update.
If you have any questions at all, leave them below! I will be making more and more videos using this camera so give any ideas, questions or concerns you have.

Cameron Becht thank you brother!
Jim Madden most Camera phones are better choice than the f100 I have one And it’s very tedious
philip kou I’m going to have to disagree! Camera phones are incredible now yes, but they just simply don’t have the same capabilities of a camera with full controls. You should be able to set up your X100F to be pretty automatic and produce much better, more usable photos than any cell phone.
Great channel, loving the X100f info. Have Nikon D750's but always carry the X100f.
I'm your 900th subscriber - street photographer from Toronto. Great video. I have the Ricoh GR III as my everyday camera -- I love it. Takes great images, small and unassuming, plus it's truly pocketable when I do not want or need to haul around gear. But, BUT, but I constantly keep eyeing the Fuji x100f. One of these days I think I'll just have to bite the bullet and get one.
Alex Zafer thanks so much man! 900 is huge so I appreciate it, didn’t expect any of this to do well at all. I also love the Ricoh, if you’re ever in Calgary we can trade for a day haha
@@JimMadden you got it! :-) ha!
Great follow up. Since walking away from DLSRs and to Fuji for my own portrait work, I've found myself so much more connected to the images. It's not always easy to articulate why, but you do a great job over covering what "feels" right about the experience
Adrian Carmody wow thanks so much for the kind words! It really is tough to explain, but when people experience similar things then it definitely resonates with them. I’m glad you’re loving it!
Thanks again, I keep coming back again and again to your videos, I am a diehard fuji girl, love their cameras!!
Christie Petersen thanks so much for the continued support! I plan on making more videos, I’ve been slacking. Anything you’d like to see?
Please do one every month until i buy this camera lol. Good relaxing video ✨
haha! I will do my best
Good followup. I have been shooting Nikon forever, currently have a D810 and a D600. Also have Fuji X-T2 and X-T20. I am amazed that since I bought the X100F I have not touched any of the other cameras. Just finished consecutive runs to Chicago and Boston for street shooting and the other cameras were nothing but extra baggage. Love, love, love this camera and my images have been improving, I think because it is a fixed lens camera it forces me to work harder on my composition. I have dubbed it "The Magic" and have no plans to look back. Thanks for sharing.
Mark Kiger that’s a great way to show how powerful it is! I find it similar to high end film cameras, you think more, compose more, and simply shoot less.
Great video and awesome photos! Traded my xt2 and lenses ranging from 21mm to 300mm (equiv) and a fist full of cash and not regretting a thing. No more time wasted worrying about what lens I need to be using!
cheese sandwich that’s awesome! Limiting yourself can actually be very liberating haha
The shots are amazing, and thanks for sharing your settings. The zoom on 5:45 would be such a cool crop for that photo actually!
Thanks so much! Maybe I’ll crop it that way ;)
absolutely true, fair as well as shared opinion on a daily basis, many thanks for the top job jim
Thats very nice of you! Thank you!
Great video! Glad I found your channel. Lived in YYC for 10 years good to see some Albertans represent!
Brian Comeault hell yeah man!
The Fuji X-100 is what got me into Fuji To begin . I went to a cameras store to see the Fuji 100 and they had a representative from Fuji in Saint Louis Missouri at the time at the store. Later on I purchase the X-Pro2 because I like the style of the rangefinder and I have been very happy birthday with it.Later on I purchase the X-H1 and I’ve been using the fuji equipment more than my Canon Lately but I have no plans of getting rid of my Canon gears
superb... seriously need to get me one
Nice Vid! I’m a Fujifilm (Fujifilm Xe2s) user as well and I love what I have. I use it for everything.
Keep up the good work and I’m praying and hoping for great things for you in the near future
Great video man. Just subscribed!
Kevin M Marcus thanks man! Appreciate it
Great video as always 💯Did you ever try the TCL / WCL.. i have the WCL always on and enjoy the 28mm FL 👍🏻Keep on the nice reviews. cheers
Starfucker7777 thank you! No actually, I have yet to try either. I am leaning towards the TCL though. If I get one I’ll definitely be doing a video about it!
Enjoyed this. Thanks
No problem at all! Thank you :)
Great video. Just subscribed. Was going to get the x100f for walk about everyday use but couldn't justify the cost as I have 2 xpro2 bodies for wedding work. So I got the little 27mm f2.8 pancake lens. And have a similar setup now using the xpro2 with this lens.
DK photography yeah that’s a great setup already!
Hey love your channel, you're one of reasons why I'm switching to the x100. Wondering if you had that Portra style preset for download or sale?
Luan Docarmo I plan on getting my presets sorted out soon actually! Stay tuned! Thanks so much :)
ive also fallen in love with the x100f after a prompt purchase following a decision to go light from my usual 5div set up. wanted to go more into st photography and so far and carrying it around me to shoot moments in my life.
-built in flash (MUST for me for dimly lit restaurants/cars/etc)
-range finder (absolutely adore this)
-classic filmic colors (biggest seller for me honestly)
-the beautiful ACROS film simu mode
-35mm focal length (perfect for street/casual and even city architecture)
-manual controls on top (adds to the whole experience)
-the body itself (how light it is/general aesthetics of it)
even stuff like decent iso performance, super sharp f/2 lens
at this point im deciding on selling my 4 month old 5div with my L lens collection just to keep this since like u i also do not shoot sports/wildlife etc.
would love to hear anyones thoughts on this... great vid, thanks for sharing Jim.
ace
Teelhan8659 all great points! I mean, I’d give it a few months to see if you still use the canon, maybe it can fund another hobby if not ;)
Cool video man, nice looking shots and I bought this camera a few days ago, your video just confirmed my excitement for it. Can I ask, what thumb grip you use? Thanks
Oli Lyons thanks so much man! Here is the link to the grip, it’s still on and doing really well. Nice and snug, enjoy! Haoge THB-XB Metal Hot Shoe Thumb Up Rest Hand Grip for Fujifilm Fuji FinePix X100F X-Pro2 XPro2 Camera Black www.amazon.ca/dp/B07KXP2D5M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_jwxFJ1cDwolzu
Thank you!
My go to is Classic Chrome H-1,S+1,C-1.
I like the hard shadows, and I don't shoot in direct sunlight. Like 3400-4500 kelvin.
You should try Astia H+1,S+3,C+4 just for a challenge in high contrast. I usually leave it at DR400, and Auto white balance R+2, B-1. To me it looks close to some of the Kodak slides.
Interesting! Nice video. ✌️
Nice i Love my Fuji x100f😍
I bought the X100F about a month ago and I'm so glad that I did. Wonderful colors and amazing quality straight out of the camera. I've never bothered with JPG on my DSLR but on this one I use the JPGs as is 90% of the time. Great update and keep the awesome content coming!
MaBr that’s amazing! Yeah I’m glad I get to save room on raw files now without any issues! Glad you’re loving the Fuji, thanks for the comment!
Thanks for sharing - I've been eyeing the X100F - find the rear scroll dial too sensitive when changing a setting in the Q menu - is this just me - do you find the rear dial too sensitive when making changes in the Q menu? Thanks
Always been a Nikon shooter for decades, started with the Nikkormat FTN and still have it, graduated to my D750 even D850, because I’m a die hard, even went over to Sony a6000 to keep up with technology , but, when I saw the reviews and images taken with the Fuji x100f, whoa..... I had to slim down and go back to a fix lens camera... and guess what, the images and sharpness of pictures are amazing....I’m s travel and street photographer, and can’t wait to get back on the travel bug and shoot with this camera instead of carrying my brick...but, I will never give up my reliable Nikon system...but for sure the Fiji x100f is an amazing camera...
That’s awesome! I’m travelling right now using solely the Fuji and it’s been amazing, it literally comes with me everywhere and doesn’t pose an issue. I’m putting it through some tests I normally don’t do and making more videos while I’m out here too, check back!
Great video
Nikos Chatzikonstantinos thanks! Appreciate it.
Nice job!
Craig Koch thank you!
Great , and subscribed
Cemal Sagnak thanks so much!
Great videos like your laid back informative style keep up the good work, DONT like background music, prefer focusing on your info
Nice video 👌🏼
love the edits, any chance you wanted to drop the preset???
That’s a great idea! Maybe I can bundle it up and let you know. Thanks!
Would you consider the x-pro3 and the 23mmf2? The ‘fujicrons’ are all so nice.
For me, I’m like you but with my X-pro2 and the 35mm f0.95 mitakon.
Crazyalex360 I actually lean towards a 50mm equivalent naturally, so I might just adapt my x100F with the TCL. They’re all great choices for sure, but I even think the 35 equivalent is a bit wide for me
Any chance you could talk about the preset you made? I like the look a lot
Michael Bahu definitely! I’d love to. I’ve been asked a few times so I’ll be doing one soon for sure. Thanks!
Jim Madden awesome! I subscribed :)
I compared a bunch of photos from this camera to Canon G7x Mark II and honestly didn't see a dramatic difference in the images. I'm still intrigued by the X100 F because it has several features that the Canon lacks although it lacks a flip screen. Because of these features, I would definitely consider the purchase of the Fuji as an upgrade, but if I had to make a change after comparing the image quality between the two, I would hesitate.
Thanks for the follow-up review. It's a good one.
K. D. Yeah I understand, if a flip screen is important to you then it might not be worth the upgrade and price difference. Just have to use what works for you!
@@JimMadden Of the next iteration of this camera offers a flip screen I may be all over it.
Thanks again.
Hi Jim great video...any experience with the lens converter(s) available?
Ed Scannell hey thanks! Unfortunately not yet, but I do plan to get my hands on them to test them and make a video about them!
Jim Madden thanks mate keep up good work 📷📷
How do you find accessing the shutter/iso dial with the thumb grip on?
I actually don't mind it, I think the dial is slightly annoying either way but it definitely doesn't make it worse!
X100 series cameras have such a cult following. I’ve owned an X100F and it gets far more use and complements than my Nikon.
Richard Reed I’ve noticed the same! People are always relating to the Fuji while I have it around my neck. I can’t say the same happened with Canon or Sony
subbed
Great! Thank you!
Does the thumb grip gab you when walking with the camera around your neck?
Thomas Geist I don’t notice it at all! I usually have it on my side or back to hitting my ribs, never poses an issue.
I just bought a used one of these and know nothing about photography. Do you recommend certain settings to keep it at for a beginner? I'm just gonna do some street shots and shots of me on the road with my band. Probably a lot of shots in the dark
Giuseppe Spargo yeah man! I’d put both top dials, ISO and shutter on automatic or ‘A’. Then use the front dial around the lens to change aperture. 2 will give you the most light, so it’ll work well in dark situations. If you can manage your way into the menu and set up your Auto ISO settings, I’d make 3 tiers. Auto 1 from 200-1600, Auto 2 from 200-3200, and Auto 3 from 200-6400. Use auto 1 in daylight, Auto 2 indoors, and auto 3 at night or in the dark! Let me know if that all makes sense. Check out my other video about custom buttons too!
@@JimMadden I'll check that video out! Thanks for the advice, I'll let you know how it turns out!
Giuseppe Spargo have fun! Let me know!
What is film simulation?
Gaurav it’s where the camera simulates popular 35mm film! So it basically adds a slight filter right to the photo.
Got myself one + the both conversion lenses(the wide angle the x70 camera version). Love it a lot and use it both private and professionally. Would be nice if you could maybe do a review of shooting video with the X100F, although it not excels in specs. I did shoot some video docu style with people getting interviews with the Classic Chrome setting. Although not perfect as a video camera it keeps up pretty ok for certain video's styles.
Thats a great idea! I will definitely do that. I know its not driven towards that side of things whatsoever but it'd be nice to know it can handle certain situations if its all you had on you. Thanks!
Kurt Cobain does camera review.
Haha what?!
Hey, Jim, can you tell me what strap this is? I need an equal on my camera.
awesome primitiveworld I mention it right at the beginning! It’s a vintage Yashica strap off an old film camera.
After using this camera for 2 years, and having purchased the gfx50R as an upgrade, i realize that you can just use your phone for the “carry around camera” instead of the x100F. It’s a great camera but for stuff like you’re doing with your gf and her “influencer” photos, you’re better off just using your phone. If you know how to edit colors and tones, you’re going to achieve the same visible quality on Instagram whether you use a phone or the x100.
youtuber I would disagree completely on that. When I do creative direction on a contract basis for companies, the biggest step is to create content with a camera instead of a phone. It has time and time again shown the difference of professionalism and quality and helped grow an online presence, across the board. I agree phones take great photos, but I’ll never agree that it’s similar to a camera like the Fuji or anything else.
Jim Madden hey man, fair enough! I’m not in the influencer realm. Im a modern art photographer, so i guess the differences are more negligible in my realm. (And i also guess i am just too star struck with my medium format quality that everything smaller than that seems in the same league now)
youtuber that’s very understandable! That’s sick you have something so heavy duty to work for you!
When digital was first making the scene I remember talk that 20meg could reproduce 100ASA film. That was back in the 4 meg days. Crop Fuji sensor at 24meg is as far as I'm chasing the tech monster. I could care less what happens from here. It's peaked. I can produce images that capture the viewer with what I've got and don't plan to invest in 3-D or any other techno crap that comes out. IT'S THE IMAGE AND THE CONNECTION WITH THE VIEWER. Everything else is techno bullshit.
