I bought a X100T when they first came out in 2014 or so. Still my favorite camera, and I have about ten cameras in my collection. I am not into upgrading, I want fewer features, not more of them. Old film shooter here. I give huge props to Leica for keeping things simple.
I appreciate your approach to showing the things you use the camera for. It’s refreshing to see someone featuring things that matter to them. Keep up with the work you are doing and I’ll keep watching.
I really love how the shot of your brother going for mushrooms shows the dynamic range capacity of the sensor, it's well exposed and shadows are still pleasant to look at.
Hello Benj, new subscriber here! I also have fallen in love with my 100V and I am blown away by your stills. You may have made this already, but I would truly enjoy getting your insight on your editing process! Great work sir!
ahhhhh- Memories..... Benj- thank you- I have had my 100V for a year too... and your trip there brought back memories- summer of 1975 (yea, I am that old) 3 high school mates and me headed up from San Francisco- camping along the Pacific Northwest... using my Chevy Blazer- northern most spot- Pacific Rim National Park- took the ferry from Port Angeles to Nanaimo...... and west we drove- 4- 18 year olds...... what I remember most was the nights at the camp site- just next to the beach- and the vast darkness and the stars- stars all over the place- so bright and beautiful..... and walking the beach as it was raining (what a surprise!)..... and all the large trees (logs) strewn about- "so prehistoric looking......"..... your one shot of the downed trees in the ravine brought back those memories- and Mushrooms- we had mushrooms too..... although not the ones you forage for..... hmmmmmm.... and the ferry ride- so much fun (the calmness of the water)....- oh- your shots were outstanding- maybe you can expand on your settings next time- I love the simplicity of the X100v- sometimes I go all -Auto,- and sometimes - iso auto.... and adjust- love to get some idea of how you shot it up there.... anyway- thank you so much for providing me a Very Happy Flashback!.... cheers from San Francisco
I love the photos you’ve taken with the X100V but even more special is the story of getting together with family after a long enforced separation. Recent times have been so strange for us all. My family recently got together and my son was able to meet his new niece which was particularly strange as he hadn’t even seen his sister pregnant.
Mad props for correct pronunciation of Ucluelet, some of the indigenous names can be harder for people to say. Yes, I have a trip to Australia coming up in a year or so with the family for a friends wedding, and I am torn between bringing a bag of Leica M and a mirrorless camera to use those lenses on, or just bringing an X100V and Rollei 35, just going super lightweight.
Ah nice! Haha, I mean my brother lives there so I’ve only heard it pronounced one way even though everyone just says Ukee. And yeah, sometimes bringing too much gear is just the paradox of choice and diminishes my creativity.
I visited Venice (Italy) this fall and spent literally days, wether to bring my GFX50R, X-H1, both or just my X100V. With some concerns I decided for the X100V and had no complaints at all, concidering the light weight! GRiiix sounds tempting, but no articulating screen, no viewfinder and that terrible shutter sound 🤭
Not quite X100V related but before getting my X100F, I traveled to Montreal with a Lumix G7 with 17mm and 25mm (35 and 50 equivalent) lenses. The one I used the most was the 17mm, which is close to the focal length of the X100 series. So it makes sense to only take my X100F on future trips.
Benj, Very touching, sweeet images. And great walk down memory lane - ten years back 3 buddies and i did a week-long kayak camping journey that departed from Tofino...great to be able to see that corner of our planet again. I've been mulling hard over buying this camera. Appreciate your take on it.
I have this camera and love it just as much. I simply watched your video because I knew it would be beautiful and inspiring and indeed it was! Thank you for making this kind of content that inspires us to make more photos and not just buy gear.
Thanks for another great video about the X100V, Benj! Because of your review video about it, I decided to pick it up and have been using it every single day since! As a guy that have own many different cameras (both digital and film) I must say that the X100V is my absolute favorite one! It is also the first time that I have owned a "personal camera" that I can even use as a professionel. Thanks for all your great content. Just love your approach.
I did a landscape photography trip to Scotland with just the X100F. The benefits of a lightweight, compact camera far outweigh the drawbacks while traveling.
@@jaredladia I just wish it had an integrated viewfinder. I have both the Griii and V, and unless I really need the camera to be pocketable, I'll take the V for the extra features when traveling. Around town I can go with either.
I have a number of cameras, but if reduced to having only one for some reason, it would be my black Fujifilm X-100V.. Perfectly designed. Well suited to a variety of uses.
Man, love this video! Thanks for sharing such an incredible trip. My parents now live in WA and it's just so nice to visit them and to see the beautiful scenery.
Luscious pics, good times with the family, excellent hands-on review in the truest sense of the word. Thanks from a fellow Washingtonian, via Berlin. 👌🏼😊
Great video and lovely photos. Thanks for reminding me how special Ucluelet is. I'm hoping to return next year and was thinking about only bringing the X100V (from the UK)
I regret selling my X100v so much. Since I switched back to DSLR for the job, I have no joy in taking pictures. I'll sell my stuff next week and go back to Fuji
I basically have the same fuji combo as you, xe4 and an x100v. I bought my x100v first then bought an xe4. After using the xe4 for a while going back to the x100v then i realize how much nicer it is to use. it is what it is though
Really wonderful photos. I really enjoyed your displaying some “real world” use instead of just showing another Tech-specs review. By the way, where did you get the camera strap? I really like it :)
Nice video Benj! Really like your photos and your focus on the experience w the kit. Question, did you shoot video on X100V on Log or w preset baked in? Thanks 🙏🏽
Heya Benj, curious why not use the M10 for this purpose? I totally understand the appeal of the X100 series, I've owned the F in the past but curious what makes you pick this up over the M10 if you were shooting digital for personal/travel stuff?
For me... Autofocus. I owned the M10 (took it all over Europe with the 35 f/2) and a few lenses and eventually sold it all for Fuji gear. I miss the full frame but when you have kids, AF is a godsend. The on-board ND filter is fantastic to have too, as well as the almost macro-like close focusing and the flip down screen.
Nice. My unicorn, the X100V, finally arrived yesterday after months of pre-order. The only one my local shop received. How do you like that hood? I’m trying the round one first, but that looks lovely.
I already have far too many cameras , and I’m trying to think of a good reasons not to buy one of these having borrowed a friends ……..I’m failing miserably . Some beautiful memories within these photos, which is surely one of the best possible reasons ever to take them . Nice work
Great stuff. I love the story here with your fam and how relaxed you are with displaying your every day captures. Just curious, was the initial video shot on this cam too?
I have a Sony A7iii that I got when it first came out. My most used camera though is the X100V and second is my Ricoh GRiii. The A7iii only gets used if I’m doing a portrait shoot where I need more focal length options.
@@mahdiali6732 i like them both for different reasons but if I could only have one it would be the Fuji X100 V. The Ricoh is a lot smaller but I find the controls on the Fuji easier to operate and I like the flip up screen. It makes it easier to take photos with the camera at low angles. The Fuji is also capable of doing amazing 4k video. There is no image stabilization so it would be best to use it on a tripod or a gimbal when doing video.
Camera aside, I really want to spend a week in the PNW! That area of the country fits an area I'd love to be in for an extended period of time with my Fuji xt3
I really enjoyed this Benj. It renewed my interest in shooting with my X100V after a long spell shooting only my M6. This may be a bit niche, but how about a regular (once a week) short X100V diary kind of thing? It seems like this camera would lend itself well to a journal format.
It's probably heresy for me to admit it, but as a Fujifilm shooter, I don't really understand the X100 series *unless* you don't already shoot Fujifilm (I totally get it if you're not a Fuji shooter). The X100V is only a marginally smaller than my XT3. If I bring the X100V with me, I either have to sling it around my shoulder or carry it in a small bag; the same is true if I bring my XT3 and a compact prime lens. The X100 series thus doesn't save me anything substantial in size and weight. For me, the Fujifilm X70 or Ricoh GR series are actual game-changers in the size & weight they save you. This is the end of my heretical rant.
Nice work my friend but I saw this place and I said.. if he things this place is beautiful how about come in a Greek Island at summer 😍 😀😃 you will go crazy if u see Greek Islands... keep the good work
i’ve been watching all of your X100V related videos and all of your reviews + comparisons have been so thorough i think i’m going to pick one up!! could you do a video about how/where to buy film cameras on ebay or other film stores?
Amazing video and stills! Love that preset! I’m looking for a lightweight alternative to my R6 kit even though that Canon camera body is relatively compact. X100v and Ricoh GRIIIx have are top contenders! If you shot those same photos with the Ricoh do would you get comparable images?
Great images and review. I like what everyone gets from this camera but I can't tell if it's duplicative versus a Canon mirrorless and lightweight lenses. I have a bag of R6's and thought the lightweight 35 and 85 Macros would get us close this easy of use and shooting. No? You have an R6 ... does the x100 interface put you more at ease settling into family moments? Starts up faster? Better EVF? optical finder? What's the zen? We have a few big family adventures coming up and I thought I'd do 35L II + adaptor and the 85 ƒ2 macro (stuff on hand). Could cut it down with a borrowed 35 Macro. Thoughts?
Yeah that’s a good point. I’d say that the R6 and 35/1.8 would be a great little travel combo as well, but still larger. The X100V just has a different feeling and feels less like a “work” camera if that makes sense
@@benjhaisch weirdly enough, I am getting mine next Tuesday in a Camera shop in Bangkok! (Travelling from the UK 😃 ) I am so freaking excited. I have only heard, read and watched EXCELLENT reviews about this camera
Great impressions! How would you rate your experience compared to the Leica Q with 35 mm crop mode? or in raw processing ... Would you prefer the X100V because of its compactness?
Hi, I love your channel! Does this camera do a decent job filming videos? I’m wanting to mostly take pictures, but also want the ability to take videos of my kids when we are out and about. I saw another review where it was said that the autofocus was noisy so I was concerned about that. Have you noticed this?
Fantastic video and narrating, love the colors too. You had me looking for your preset until I saw the price, and that is just way too much during a pandemic with people just trying to get back on their feet.
Benj, will you ever review Leica Q2? There are a lot of comparison videos between Fuji X100V and Leica Q2 and I would love to know your opinion on this. Cheers
Yeah! I have a loaner on the way! I've wanted to get my hands on one for a LONG time now as well, just needed to keep building the channel to get the right connections ;)
I am an enthusiast that does some second shooting on the side and love photography to the point that I’d want to do it full time. I have the R5 + 50 1.2 and about 8 SLR film cameras. This x100v looks like such a lovely pocketable camera. Sometimes I just want to carry something small but I’m trying to see if this is a necessary purchase. What would you say, does the fuji have a place?
I’d say that even picking one up on the secondary market would still be worthwhile. They honestly made all of the improvements I’d been waiting years for.
Have you ever shot with the Leica Q2? Maybe it's not apples to apples, but was curious for your opinion. I have the funds for the Leica, but do like the X100 series and want to pick up another "personal" camera again. I really enjoyed the X100F and probably should have never sold it.
For an everyday camera, the X100 is still too large. When Ricoh announced their Ricoh GR IIIx with a 40mm equivalent focal length I thought about either the GR or the X100 which on paper offers much more. But I cannot pocket the X100. So it'll stay home most of the time - like all the other cameras I have in that form factor. I bought the GR IIIx, with no regrets. Image quality is amazing and the camera - an APSC camera with a 26mm f2.8 lens, image stabilization - literally fits into the palm of your hand. You can hide that camera inside your hand. It slides into the pockets of my pants. There is no hurdle of ALWAYS having it on you.
Yeah, I get that, the Ricoh just doesn't so enough in the experience level for me, so I'm fine with jumping from the iPhone to the X100V in size and choosing one or the other.
I bought a X100T when they first came out in 2014 or so. Still my favorite camera, and I have about ten cameras in my collection. I am not into upgrading, I want fewer features, not more of them. Old film shooter here. I give huge props to Leica for keeping things simple.
I have been using x100v for last 6months and I love it for every single situation ( daily, street, landscape)
thanks for sharing!

Good times! Cant wait to see everyone at Christmas! FYI, contrary to what the video shows me and Fjord are buds.
Tofino is one of my all time favourite places! Beautiful images I really want this camera even though I already have the XT3
Great vid, awesome photos!!! Keep up with the awesome content! I haven't touched my X100V in a few months... inspired me to play with it again!
thanks, Desy! love seeing you pop up on the DPReview channel from time to time as well.
@@benjhaisch thanks!
Music on this is sooooo good!
I did a landscape photography trip to Scotland with just the X100F. The benefits of a lightweight, compact camera far outweigh the drawbacks while traveling.
Did you feel hindered by the 35mm equiv lens, that it wasn't wide enough?
These photos are beautiful Ben! Loving the cascade presets 🥰🥰
the Ricoh GRIII is my go to travel camera. tiny, sleek and packs a punch.
I second this! The Ricoh is truly the best compact pro travel camera available!
@@jaredladia I just wish it had an integrated viewfinder. I have both the Griii and V, and unless I really need the camera to be pocketable, I'll take the V for the extra features when traveling. Around town I can go with either.
I use the X100 for 99% of my stuff, ended up grabbing a GR3 for cycling so I don't have a camera on my back and it has been awesome.
I really love the X100 line. I still have the first one, had an S and now have a F and really love them all. I'm sure the V is just perfect.
Great idea to show actual work. Beautiful capture of moments. Thanks for sharing

If I could chose one style of editing/grading, it would be this. Absolutely love your style
Wow, thank you!
I really like my x100f. You can fill the frame and get close to your subject or stand back and capture a wider perspective.
Hey Benj. Thanks for sharing this video. Super stoked that your on Vancouver Island. The place I call home :)
Great video! I love how clear your landscapes are. For the X100V, do you often stop it down fairly far to get that much in focus?
Hey thanks! No, most of the time for landscapes I shoot at f/5.6 or f/8 and have the hyperfocal distance chart up on the EVF
@@benjhaisch Awesome, thanks for the reply! I've been shooting around f/5.6, but may need to stop down a bit more in some cases. Thanks again!

This video made me dust off my X100V to use around the house more now
Love it, what is your video setting
Benj, will you ever review Leica Q2? There are a lot of comparison videos between Fuji X100V and Leica Q2 and I would love to know your opinion on this. Cheers
Yeah! I have a loaner on the way! I've wanted to get my hands on one for a LONG time now as well, just needed to keep building the channel to get the right connections ;)
I am an enthusiast that does some second shooting on the side and love photography to the point that I’d want to do it full time. I have the R5 + 50 1.2 and about 8 SLR film cameras. This x100v looks like such a lovely pocketable camera. Sometimes I just want to carry something small but I’m trying to see if this is a necessary purchase. What would you say, does the fuji have a place?
Absolutely. It's a gold mine for just the personal edc camera.
great video.... too late to justify getting one but def gonna get the next version when ever that comes out!!!
I’d say that even picking one up on the secondary market would still be worthwhile. They honestly made all of the improvements I’d been waiting years for.
Have you ever shot with the Leica Q2? Maybe it's not apples to apples, but was curious for your opinion. I have the funds for the Leica, but do like the X100 series and want to pick up another "personal" camera again. I really enjoyed the X100F and probably should have never sold it.
Should have one on my hands tomorrow 🙌🏼
Just bought the preset. Do I change from abode color or camera matching.. then apply preset?
For an everyday camera, the X100 is still too large. When Ricoh announced their Ricoh GR IIIx with a 40mm equivalent focal length I thought about either the GR or the X100 which on paper offers much more. But I cannot pocket the X100. So it'll stay home most of the time - like all the other cameras I have in that form factor. I bought the GR IIIx, with no regrets. Image quality is amazing and the camera - an APSC camera with a 26mm f2.8 lens, image stabilization - literally fits into the palm of your hand. You can hide that camera inside your hand. It slides into the pockets of my pants. There is no hurdle of ALWAYS having it on you.
You think too much
Yeah, I get that, the Ricoh just doesn't so enough in the experience level for me, so I'm fine with jumping from the iPhone to the X100V in size and choosing one or the other.
Hi Benj, cascade 1 or 2 presets used here?
02 // North Flat + I believe
perfect :D make Leica m10 full review please :D like update with new photo ect :)
Do you prefer the X100V or an XE4 with your favorite prime lens if you can only bring one camera?
If I HAD to choose one, X100V. But I do love the X-E4 and 18/2 combo
What is the cascade preset?
benjhais.ch/cascade02 🙌🏼
Did you shoot these manually?
They were all actually on aperture priority with auto iso!
😍😍😍🔥
Ricoh is better, no?
No EVF, f/2.8 instead of f/2, internal NDs in the X100V. The Ricoh seems like a great camera, but I prefer the X100V
@@benjhaisch fair enough
if it was with a 50mm f2 instead of 23mm or at least 35mm it was perfect for me :)
Hmmm…75mm equivalent, very convenient. People would buy it in masses.
Not gonna lie, I clicked on this partially just to know how to pronounce Ucluelet.
Is it just me, or does the photo at 5:23 ( ruclips.net/video/uMXFFOnq88E/видео.html ) have a medium format look to it?
To much background music
