I have the X100V and it is a very capable portrait camera. I got the telephoto adapter and in conjunction with a trigger and a couple of Godox AD200's you have a small and very powerful portrait kit. I use it more than my XH1 for portraits because of the leaf shutter I don't need high speed sync. I also use a blackmist pro filter for effects too. Damien Lovegrove who is a very highly regarded portrait photographer on youtube used an X100V in one of his portrait shoots. Its worth a watch.
It really is!! Wait for this week's episode - it's all about taking portraits with the x100v! 😃 And yes!! I used a Black pro-mist 1/8 and adds just the right touch. 👌🏻 I'll be sure to check out Damien Lovegrove's vid. Thanks, Mark!
Kristin, I appreciate your enthusiasm for your Fuji X-100V. I have had mine for almost a year now. If I could only have just one Fuji, this is the one. This camera is my everyday camera, my street camera, and my minimalist travel camera. Also, you mentioned Valérie Jardin, who is a well known and respected street photographer! I have been taking workshops with Valérie now since 2015. And I have the good fortune to live in her home city, Minneapolis, and thus can see her work frequently at out local Street Photographers club. Enjoy your new Fuji
Thanks, Jeff! It really is such a versatile little camera. And that's awesome that you've had the opportunity to work with Valérie! Again, I'm relatively new to street photography so I'm still coming to know all the "cool kids" of the genre. 😂 I've come to really appreciate her work. Please say "hello!" to her for me the next time you see her 😉👋
I just wish it didn’t cost so much. It would be amazing to see how much of the market it could penetrate if it only costed $599 or so. Its cost alone makes me reconsider if I want to take it with me somewhere or not. It’s too valuable.
Hope you’re still enjoying your X100V. Your enthusiasm for Fuji gear reminds me of my personal transition to Fuji from big, heavy Canon gear, huge tripods and mammoth ball heads. So liberating! I have the X100F, and I immersed myself in it for a solo photography week in San Francisco, and it was *gasp* the only camera I took. I found it incredibly versatile for street, landscapes, architecture, food, and nature, all day long and after dark too. (Maybe especially after dark, B&W or color - the high ISO quality is amazing!) I hope you will love your X100V, and I look forward to seeing the images you create with it in a future video. I know the thought of having only one focal length is scary sometimes, but like you said, this lens is a sweet spot. (As some wise teacher once said “When you only have one lens, you always have the right lens on the camera. When you have more than one lens, you always have the wrong lens on the camera.”) One fixed focal length lens taught me to move around and explore composition and perspective and light and so much more. And because I wasn’t hauling 20 lbs of gear around, I could stay out all day and well into the night, feeling energetic and inspired and far less fatigued than with heavy DSLR bodies and L zoom lenses. Thanks for your informative videos - they are so easy to watch. They feel light and bright to me, not heavy with technical jargon and photos of brick walls and useless data. That stuff just doesn’t matter to me. The experience of using the camera matters so much more. In short, your videos feel like an easy conversation with a fun friend about photography. I think you’ll have great success with that recipe. Good luck!
So I understand why a fully articulating screen is useful for vlogging and such, but I find the type of screen on the X100V or even better X-T2 and X-T3 are much better for photography and I really hope Fujifilm will go back to it on the X-T5. It's never in the way of a camera strap, it's quicker to get into the desired position, and it's more or less on the lens axis. For hybrid cameras and video focused cameras sure, go ahead. I just hope they will leave them off the photography focused cameras including the entire GFX line.
That's probably the first time I've seen this attachment on the x100 camera, really cool! It seems like now that you have an adapter for canon to X mount, it's time to think about coming over to the Fuji family 😉🙃
I wouldn’t mind having it tilt like an XT3 but, would hate it having a completely flip screen. This is supposed to be a photo first camera, that just happens to have some solid video features. I walk around with an EOS R for street, and sometimes hate the fully articulated screen. So just a simple tilt would be AWESOME for street, which kind of what the x100v is geared to. Def looking forward to getting one.
You're channel will go far.I like the creative ideas.I wanted the original X100 but held off and it wasn't until the V that i purchased one.People moan about the 50mm TCL but it is fine for portraits If you use the 100mm option in the teleconverter it's a small file but now in RAW .Put the file in lightroom and use enhance details which will make the file about 4x bigger fior printing etc.It works a treat.Good luck.
Nice video, but I sure hope that you are wrong about the next version of this camera having an articulating screen. After all, who wants a screen going out to the side of the camera, making the whole camera approx 3 inches wider than it already is.
Thanks for the video, Kristin! Very cool. It's great to come across a fellow Fujifilm enthusiast. So far, I'm loving the X100V. It's quickly becoming my go-to camera outside of my Canon for landscapes. Well done on the sweater. I love the colors. Just subbed and looking forward to more of your videos. Happy belated birthday!
I think you're the first person I've seen review this camera and have it in the all black option. Now I really don't know which style to pick 🙃😆 great review, thank you!
Great video, trying to find recent reviews to decide whether or not to get one. One thing to mention, there's a somewhat difficult to notice high pitched whine in your audio, not an audio expert so I don't know what would be causing it, but it's something I figured you'd want to know.
Kristin, Appreciate your impressions. I've been hung up on this camera since its first iteration, but still haven't taken the plunge. Am also using Canon (6D and 77D) for my 'main stuff.' The color simulations of Fuji just really catch my interest. Will look forward to your updates of you you find those as you use it more. (And that lens adapter thingie you showed is wacky interesting! Share some examples of what your photos look like when you use it.)
@@jorgeroberto5396 Why are you replying to my comment with this dude? I have nothing to do with you wanting to hack your girlfriends Instagram account and quite frankly I would never do that myself. Is this a bot?
You can forget about the screen. It is not meant for vlogging, for that they have the X-S10 with IBIS and that fat & flippy floppy screen. Love the weird lens rig!
Very good video. Explain to me the weather sealing situation please. Do I have to buy an UV filter? How much does it cost? How much does the adapter cost? do you think in the next model they will be smart enough to simply make it weather sealed out of the box?
Oh my on filtering. Still, awesome camera and sweet for street. Nice vid My first and only SLR was the Pentax ME. I Bought and Xt-4 last week to really re-learn photography and I have a canon G5X already. But really like what Fuji is doing. Thx.
How are you finding the x100v with focus accuracy? I picked one up last week and i've been very disappointed with the amount of blurry shots I've been getting.
You articulated almost exactly how I feel about my X100F. I just enjoy photography and walking around looking at the world when I use it. The feeling is hard to fully explain. Oh, and Valerie Jardin was a huge influence on me getting that camera. I look forward to more of your videos.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. New ideas are always welcome to break the creative rut. Nice edits btw. Also I fee fuji raws are better handled on capture one. Maybe you could try it for yourself. Have a good one. Cheers
Cool Vid. Iam also tempted to get a X100 for travel and daily pictures cause iam not really in love with my a7III - btw. you've got the perfect surname for Tutorials ;-D (Lehrer = Teacher in German ;> )
Valerie Jardin is pretty amazing, been following her for years, and she really helped spark my interest in Street photography. Have you checked out Fujilove? If not, you should.. :)
....that’s why you bought the X-T4.... you bought the LENS BABY for the ‘X’ mount... I can hear the conversation with the spouse...”I’ll have to INVEST in a camera body that will accept this lens baby ANDDDDD it has a flippy screen...” haha (Yes, I’m watching your videos out of order....)
I suppose an articulating screen would make it less of a photographer's camera, wouldn't it. That's why, as a hybrid shooter I love this camera. It's "limitations" are really pushing me to be more creative and think like a photographer. I also love that it doesn't give you the ability to "chimp" (automatically show you a preview of the photo you just took.) All that to say, I can't not agree with you! 😄
@@kristin5116 I have both a canon R anf fuji xt3. The flip screen is faster for street photography compared to the flip out screen. On the fuji xt3, it goes a step farther by flipping out in portrait mode.

Yay! Congrats on starting your own channel, Brandon. I'll have to check it out when I get a moment. Best of luck to you! And thanks for that awesome compliment!
X-t30 is much better in many ways, smaller, more compact, perfect for traveling and street photography has much better grip, bigger viewfinder, more practical because u can change lenses, not fixed lens! Yes it's not weather sealed but got same sensor and processor as 100v. X-t30 is cheaper even if you add two f2 prime lens to the price.

Don’t feel bad! We’ve all been there! Get an X-T3 it’s my favourite camera to take street photography and I’ve never had more fun!
I just wish this camera would be back in stock soon!
Thanks for sharing your honesty, great review and loved that you kept all of that in!
Lovely pictures! Thanks for sharing your impressions on the x100v
Using my Fujifilm XT100 primarily for street and landscape photography. Love its wide angle kit lens. Your new fan from India 🇮🇳
The leaf shutter is the main attraction for me. Way cooler than a focal plane shutter, creativity possibilities go way up with it!
Protect your highlights AND shallow depth of field FTW! 😆🙌
@@kristin5116 Also super high sync speed allowing you to play with shallow DOF with flash at reasonable power during the day!

Hah, thanks! That "whine" is the boiler acting up. #BasementRUclipsrProbs 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ Hoping to remedy that, in the near future.
Not by Fuji, this camera and its bigger sister Xpro are for taking pictures, video is bonus so they won't get fully articulate screen!
Isn't the 100V awesome?! I love mine so much! And this is a great video, please make more. I am definitely subscribed!

Why, thank you very much, Steve. Welcome to my channel! :D
I shoot in manual mode on X100f and when you adjust the focus ring the digital zoom kicks in instantly gives you some distance.

Which lens hood are you using? It looks like one for a Leica 35mm f/2. ????
I want a X100V so badly.
I got one in black. Its freaken sweet.
Great Review! You will grow fast! I will surely get one to accompany my Nikon Z6 :P
Thanks, Thomas! It definitely made for a perfect companion camera. 😄
