I just took my X100F on a trip to Ireland and Scotland for the *express* purpose of shooting landscapes. I am disappointed when people who review this camera fail to properly emphasize its ability to literally match a X-T2 in image quality. Please stop pigeonholing this camera as a street photography one-trick-pony. It is ridiculously more versatile. It deserves more than to be treated as "niche". It is limited only in its lens's reach, not in its ability to perform in all genres.
how did you find using the 100f for landscapes? I really like the look of it, and I principally shoot documentary photography, as well as street-style stuff etc. But I occasionally shoot other types of subjects, and so am a little apprehensive about using a fixed lens of this format. So I wonder what your experience of the 100f has been?
So tempted to dive into the Fuji system (I’m a GH5 owner). I love the colours profiles the cameras offer and the awesome form factor. This review was a lot of fun and you guys are improving with each show. Very glad I remained subscribed.
Thanks for sticking around, Scott. You have to give one a try to get a feel for it (if you haven't already) It's a different shooting experience. Where are you located? In Calgary, we offer a free, 3 day try before you buy test drive with Fuji cameras. But, I believe other dealers across North America do it too. Check with your local shop to see if they offer it.
10:18 Cool shot with great light! By the way, this video..oh my, this is the format you guys have to keep up. It's a great video, really like it! You have found your own formula. Keep the good work!
Would be really great to see this same comparison, but with the 27mm pancake on the xe3. That equalizes the form factor more or less, so it would make sense.b
I have an xpro2 and xt2 (And the 23 f2) but picked up a used x100s for a recent trip to Canada. I'm not going to lie: the built in flash, ND filter, and high sync speed are invaluable and major advantages for the x100 line.
Best video yet you two! You both were clearly more natural and at ease....great job and don't change anything - just be yourselves like you did in this video!
Great episode, I liked the inclusion of Ron. Great to see that Dave still has his Hexar, he probably mastered all the button combos on that thing. Just a word about Ron's short Q&A session - you can really notice how naturally you switched from the Ev asks a question - Ron answers format and instead started a regular conversation without worrying about interrupting someone. Keep it up!
As a Fuji XPro1 and an XE1 owner I wouldn't want the XE-3..the reason..like the XE-1 you can't replace the eyecup with an off brand and in high light it is awful...On my Ppro1 have a Nikon F2 eyecup...(really good) .I also think the joystick would be nice but I want a touch pad too..so to me ...an upgrades will be the XPro 2..as for the 23mm F2...I was torn between that and the 1.4 and I just decided to buy the F2..and I absolutely love that lens...I think I made the right choice...
I have been watching TCSTV for several years now, and I must say that you two totally ROCK! I enjoy your fresh and lively approach to presenting your topic. I was totally engaged (without getting confused) in the way you compared/contrasted these two popular cameras. Your chemistry with one another is really nice also. I will most certainly continue my subscription after seeing you two. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Anthony! Glad to hear that you found it clear when we went back and forth. That was definately a concern with the 2 cameras that look very similar. We'll keep your comment about photo examples in mind for the next comparison.
Very nice & natural style you guys show in your videos. Sometimes a change is good. Oh, and Ev has a very strong and yet natural presence in front of the camera. A pleasant watch!
I don't know how much hate you get for not being Chris and Jordan, but I really liked your video! Thanks for doing it and I hope to see more in the future.
Looking at the hair cut it would have been cool to see Ev as an Edna Mode (from the movie "The Incredibles") cosplayer for this episode. Dave would make a nice Mr. Incredible. :D
Both are great! But for me personally I can never get used to the dials on Fuji bodies. The fact that I need to reposition my entire hand when I want to change the exposure dial is a pain as I shoot manual. The dial is just not in thumb's reach and the fact that you still need the smaller dial (which is actually in thumb's reach) to make smaller adjustments seems counter intuitive to me. And it's a shame, I love the look of these cameras and they produce wonderful images as well.
Happy that Dave and Ev are slowly getting their style and groove now! Wonderful review! Tempted to get an x100f but fully invested in the Sony system so I know it is just G. A. S. 🤐
Hi Dave ane Ev, thanks for another video. Again, I would encourage you two do some background research for your reviews. While the X100Fs 23mm f/2 is softer at f/2 at close focusing distances (
I couldn’t make up my mind of which camera to buy so I bought them both. As much as I love the X100F it hunts in lowlight whereas the X-E3 locks focus in lowlight in a blink of an eye.
I was there a few years ago, the first and only time I went to an anime convention, it was nice. I liked all the costumes and things. I didn’t join in, but as an anime fan it was cool to see people enjoy that culture. I never shoot wide open, I’m scared that no lens is prepared for that. But still it’s the only thing holding me back from the X100 series.
Nice comparison between the two, and I like how balanced it was! I always did wonder... The X100F, does the EVF have any issues if you're wearing polarized sunglasses? Same question for the X-E3. Yes, I know, most will commonly say "don't wear polarized sunglasses, don't wear sunglasses" but being photosensitive (aka light sensitivity) I pretty much lives with prescription sunglasses on when out and about during the day, hence why I ask. Not all cameras have gone with an EVF that isn't polarized itself (Olympus EM-5 mk II and EM-1 mk II both get a really annoying templar cross through the center of the EVF, for example, while the Panasonic G85 and G9 do not have any problems with their EVFs and polarized sunglasses)
I wouldn’t say that there are issues with polarized glasses and the evf necessarily, but I would treat it as if I was using a polarizer on the lens and therefore compensate about two stops.
Your best episode yet! The only awkward person was your guest, looking at the camera instead of answering your questions directly at you like a normal human being!
The problem isn't with the camera, it was with the person who handling it! None of the person involved in this experiment knows how to adjust a camera. Apple Bee & Orange Dee comparing cat & dog!
I know a lot of people love the classic style of the Fujifilm cameras, especially the X100 series. However, I am leaning towards getting a Lumix LX100 which is similar in many ways but has a more versatile 24-75mm (f1.7-2.8) lens. All be it the sensor is M43 vs APSC, I feel the lens makes up for it since you can go from 24, 35, 50, and 75 in a small package. I have an older LX7, which I really enjoy having the versatility of focal lengths and still use my feet. I do, however, like that the X100 series has that hybrid finder especially in low-light situations. And the inclusion of the film simulation modes. I feel like both are wonderful tools but I probably sit more in the Lumix camp for the fast zoom over a fast prime. What are your thoughts, would love to hear some opinions.
you're getting better. would have liked to see more of the exact photos comparing the 2 against each other. Including higher iso's to see if one is better, sharper in more that one situation.
TheCameraStoreTV I mostly shoot landscapes, wildlife and sports and I'm transitioning from photography to hybrid shooting. I currently own a Nikon d750 that I really love for photography, but it doesn't quite cut it on the video side, so I'm looking for a camera ecosystem that would allow me to do good photography/video and that would have some long lenses as well... all of that without breaking the bank 🤪 This having been said, I'm generally interested in most thing related to photo and video and I truly enjoyed this episode.
So I have a Nikon D3300 with a Nikok 35mm f1.8 and a tamron 17-50mm 2.8. I really wanted the X100F until I saw the E3, should I just rent both cameras and decide for myself if I want an x100f as a travel/ street camera or abandon the Nikon all together and switch to the E3?
This was a great review. I have no interest in either of these cameras, but I still enjoyed the review. I would’ve liked to see more actual shots that they took though.
Exactly my two choices when I wanted to buy a camera last February. But being so indecisive, I ended up getting a Canon G7x mk2 (cheaper mistake) hehe.
Still havn't found a good reason to upgrade from my X-E1 when I want a smaller camera. I know the AF is rubbish but manual focusing is half the fun with the retro style cameras. Also I just found the X-E3 to be a little too small for my hands
Great video and it helped me a lot. I plan to travel to Japan, and I am choosing camera. I don't like hung it on my neck, so when I didn't take photo I'll put my camera in my bag. So I need a smaller camera. I have two alternative one. a6300 with kit lens, fuji xt-2 with 23mm f2. And another question, RX100iv or G7X, does mirrorless can kill them. My friend gave agreement to get a pocket camera.
I have the X100f and almost bought the XE3 but went XT2 instead. I love Fuji so much
Why would you get a second camera?
5:34 Dave, you got your shot!
5:43 gleefully reflects on ‘getting the shot’ 😂
5:34. This one was hectic
I love my X-T20, but I do believe the X100 and X-Pro line are beautiful.
José A. Ochoa - Same!

You all been doing a great job with your videos. You both bring your own style to the channel and keeping the excellent quality of content!
10:18 Cool shot with great light!
By the way, this video..oh my, this is the format you guys have to keep up. It's a great video, really like it! You have found your own formula. Keep the good work!
Thanks. :)
Great light? Sry. Thats a snapshot. Right side to dark. Two Lights extreme White.
In Face hard contrast. No composition.
Best ist the Rembrand light.
Awesome video guys - keep them coming!

Jesse Roos is it worth buying X100F?
Love that Andy Milonakis appears at around 9:10 His Japan streams were pretty epic.
I was just about to post this because that guy looked just like him. So that was definitely Andy?
Mike Gooch Yhea. That was totally him. He was streaming on twitch. Good guy.
Yep, it was Andy. He was streaming while we were at one of the temples in Kyoto.
Big shoes to fill on this channel, and you two are doing a great job!
I was a bit worried about the new direction with this channel but gosh its refreshing.
Thanks. :)
Best video yet you two! You both were clearly more natural and at ease....great job and don't change anything - just be yourselves like you did in this video!
Otafest is AMAZING. I had such a great time last time I went. Really cool video, too!
Great episode y'all! Definitely enjoying watching the two of you grow into your own style here on TCSTV 👍
Congrats to the new presenters. Excellent work. You really have improved since the first video you made. Keep it up!
I am my own worst critic and am glad that you have seen some improvement. We do have a long way to go still.
That smile at 5:41 from Dave after that photo!
you can also compare x100f with xe3+27mm f2.8
Good job!I
You maintained the great quality of this channel and gave it a personal touch 👍📸
Really, really like the format of your presentation !!! You people ROCK keep up the Great Work. Wonderful Show.
PS: Ron can really Sing. Thank you.
He really can. I was not being facetious about that at all. He was killing it that night!
nice job Dave and Ev...your finding your way into a comfortable and approachable presentation format...good one
Great episode, I liked the inclusion of Ron. Great to see that Dave still has his Hexar, he probably mastered all the button combos on that thing. Just a word about Ron's short Q&A session - you can really notice how naturally you switched from the Ev asks a question - Ron answers format and instead started a regular conversation without worrying about interrupting someone. Keep it up!
The Hexar is so cool and and the secret menu always amused me. Glad you remember that camera. Thanks for the feedback.
Watching this with my XE3+23mm f2 in hand. Egzzzooiiiitted!
That's amazing! It's great to see much Fuji Love!
Great job guys. Very interesting comparison. Two thumbs up!
As a Fuji XPro1 and an XE1 owner I wouldn't want the XE-3..the reason..like the XE-1 you can't replace the eyecup with an off brand and in high light it is awful...On my Ppro1 have a Nikon F2 eyecup...(really good) .I also think the joystick would be nice but I want a touch pad too..so to me ...an upgrades will be the XPro 2..as for the 23mm F2...I was torn between that and the 1.4 and I just decided to buy the F2..and I absolutely love that lens...I think I made the right choice...

Thanks Anthony! Glad to hear that you found it clear when we went back and forth. That was definately a concern with the 2 cameras that look very similar. We'll keep your comment about photo examples in mind for the next comparison.
This was great. Informative and fun ( and nicely shot!) Well done guys.
Very well presented! You got a new fan!
Excellent interview with Rob Bubnich.
Ron is a gem! We are glad that we were able to work with him on this.
The video quality of the show is excellent, your presentation as well. A real treat!
Great vid! And Dave and Ev are well getting into the swing of being in front of the camera!
Great video! Really enjoying seeing you both :D
Very nice & natural style you guys show in your videos. Sometimes a change is good. Oh, and Ev has a very strong and yet natural presence in front of the camera. A pleasant watch!
Good video, its nice to see you two are getting more relaxed in front of the camera now. Good presentation and good content, keep up the good work.
Nice pacing and balanced dialogue. Presentation and editing it smooth. Enjoying this duo. Congratulations.
Really enjoying your vibes. Thank you for another wonderful video.
The new guys are alright in my book. Great job and keep it up
Awe thanks!
I don't know how much hate you get for not being Chris and Jordan, but I really liked your video! Thanks for doing it and I hope to see more in the future.
Ev, you are totally cool and a very good presenter, oh and BTW, easier on the eyes than Chris. (Sorry Chris)
Looking at the hair cut it would have been cool to see Ev as an Edna Mode (from the movie "The Incredibles") cosplayer for this episode. Dave would make a nice Mr. Incredible. :D
I like these two. Good, unaffected presentation. Are the other two guys gone to DPReview now??
Thanks. Yep, they are over on DPReview. :)
Then long live TCSTV! I won't unsub and look forward to watching you two!! All the best!
Thank you. You get 2 channels with Canadians talking about cameras/photography for the price of one.
Yes, these two are a very nice, much more down-to-earth replacement for Jeremy Clarkson and James May, or whatever their names were...
Both are great!
But for me personally I can never get used to the dials on Fuji bodies. The fact that I need to reposition my entire hand when I want to change the exposure dial is a pain as I shoot manual. The dial is just not in thumb's reach and the fact that you still need the smaller dial (which is actually in thumb's reach) to make smaller adjustments seems counter intuitive to me.
And it's a shame, I love the look of these cameras and they produce wonderful images as well.
You definitely have to like how it feels.
TheCameraStoreTV Absolutely! To me handling is more important than image quality.
Great job guys.. love that you added Ron...
7:56 Why Ev is so cute? Cause she is an angel.
lul nice catch
Happy that Dave and Ev are slowly getting their style and groove now! Wonderful review! Tempted to get an x100f but fully invested in the Sony system so I know it is just G. A. S. 🤐
Your Sony investment wouldn’t be compromised. You don’t need to invest into Fuji it’s all in one package.
Nice video. Welcome to the team. Enjoyed the comparison. Be great to see Fuji's new XT100 added to the mix, once it's released.
Thank you. Yes, we will hopefully have the chance to do a full review later this summer when we get final versions.
Hi Dave ane Ev, thanks for another video. Again, I would encourage you two do some background research for your reviews. While the X100Fs 23mm f/2 is softer at f/2 at close focusing distances (
What is 10in?

Very nice episode and loads of useful information
Well done - your best show yet!
Thanks Chuck!

4:42 "has a leg up" , dude in the background puts leg up against wall.
great videos guys - thanks
Nice comparison between the two, and I like how balanced it was!

“With everything being said,” nice nod to Chris lol.
6:11 love this subtle humor 😁
I love my X100 F 🇨🇦
Your best episode yet! The only awkward person was your guest, looking at the camera instead of answering your questions directly at you like a normal human being!
HA! Well spotted Dave.
One word... Leaf Shutter on the F. If you do flash, this is invaluable!
I agree!
That's two words. And Dave did mention that...
I know, but it's the reason I bought the F.
Thanks for the vid. I bought the XE3 recently and really like it. Its just the camera I need to get back into photography.
So, I am still not sure -- which one??
The problem isn't with the camera, it was with the person who handling it!
None of the person involved in this experiment knows how to adjust a camera.
Apple Bee & Orange Dee comparing cat & dog!
Great video and entertaining keep them coming.
Great review and comparison. I have both the X system, and was wondering if the X100F would be a sensible addition or not to my arsenal.
ahhhh guys Japan is not PAL country :( but I LOVE this comparison, thanks! And I'm so glad to see someone else that LOVES to shoot in ProNeg HI!
Great info. Looks more and more like the X3 is going to replace my EOS M5.
I know a lot of people love the classic style of the Fujifilm cameras, especially the X100 series.

"Hey Ron, could you do a video about showing what the Fujifilm X100F is capable of?"
"Yeah, sure."
6:43 **takes a photo of a cat licking its balls**
That cat was AMAZING!
Juan Quispe AMAZING.
6:14 that moment... that expression... priceless...
Yeah, i think he has a tini tiny 1, lol
Excellent comparison and great food for thought particularly for travel and candid shots.
Is it just me or does Dave look like Chip Foose's twin...?
Thanks. Hahah, Chip Foose! I smell a photoshop challenge.
I can see it a bit......however I am betting if I was his brother I would be driving a much nicer vehicle.
you're getting better. would have liked to see more of the exact photos comparing the 2 against each other. Including higher iso's to see if one is better, sharper in more that one situation.
Not really my cup of tea as far as cameras go, but great video guys! Informative and interesting!! Looking forward to seeing your next episodes 👍👍
Thanks Paul. What do you shoot with?
TheCameraStoreTV I mostly shoot landscapes, wildlife and sports and I'm transitioning from photography to hybrid shooting.
I currently own a Nikon d750 that I really love for photography, but it doesn't quite cut it on the video side, so I'm looking for a camera ecosystem that would allow me to do good photography/video and that would have some long lenses as well... all of that without breaking the bank 🤪
This having been said, I'm generally interested in most thing related to photo and video and I truly enjoyed this episode.
Ev and Dave good video, covered a lot of material and a great invironment.
Hexar AF is my favorite X100! Was so glad to see it in this video!
I was wondering how many people have even heard of the Hexar. Thanks for the reply.
Great segment, as always. What brand is Ev’s strap??
a great episode, good job Dave and Ev
Thanks Kian!
Nice job guys!
Great video guys, love the comparison videos. love all the anime lol what are your favorite anime shows or movies?
Great video thanks, I think I might look at the X-E1
Good chemistry and look!Each one let the other actually talk!
I really like this review of the two cameras. Excellent!
Such a great presentation with some great points! Totally not missing asian clooney at this stage. Great video, keep it up.
6:13 lmao
The look on his face.
hahahahah!
So I have a Nikon D3300 with a Nikok 35mm f1.8 and a tamron 17-50mm 2.8. I really wanted the X100F until I saw the E3, should I just rent both cameras and decide for myself if I want an x100f as a travel/ street camera or abandon the Nikon all together and switch to the E3?
This was a great review. I have no interest in either of these cameras, but I still enjoyed the review.
I would’ve liked to see more actual shots that they took though.
Nice setup. Otafest eh...
I get wanted to know which one is cheaper at the Store? X-E3 or X-100F?
Exactly my two choices when I wanted to buy a camera last February. But being so indecisive, I ended up getting a Canon G7x mk2 (cheaper mistake) hehe.
Damn I had been gone so long. 帅气的Chris哪里去了？ Anyway love the new format. I'm really considering buying a Fujifilm camera now.
Chris现在在DP Review啊2333，多Fo一个号去吧hhh
What's the difference between price and price point? Can''t see one.I think I've only heard it said on camera reviews
What brand camera strap is on the xe3? Great video!
Congrats you guys stole the channel. Love the show and keep up the good work. Who were the other guys again? Never mind, don't care.
Great work guys more of this 👍😁
...but i want an OVF. :-)
Thanks for the great video!
Thank you!
Still havn't found a good reason to upgrade from my X-E1 when I want a smaller camera. I know the AF is rubbish but manual focusing is half the fun with the retro style cameras. Also I just found the X-E3 to be a little too small for my hands
5:40 still thinking of what just happened :D
Great video and it helped me a lot.
I plan to travel to Japan, and I am choosing camera. I don't like hung it on my neck, so when I didn't take photo I'll put my camera in my bag. So I need a smaller camera. I have two alternative one. a6300 with kit lens, fuji xt-2 with 23mm f2. And another question, RX100iv or G7X, does mirrorless can kill them. My friend gave agreement to get a pocket camera.
