X100V user here. The trick with the app is this: 1) Turn on "wireless communication" in the menus. (This item is the last item in the "shooting menu" - the one with the little camera as an icon - on screen 3/3 of that menu. This is the key confusing point. Fuji should put this item in the "connection settings" instead.) Turning on "wireless communication" causes the camera to create a wi-fi network. 2) Go into the settings on your phone/iPad and connect to the new Fuji wi-fi network. 3) Now launch the Fuji "Camera Remote" app on your phone/iPad. 4) In the app, click on "Import images selected on app". You should now be able to see thumbnails of the images on the camera's SD card, and can choose which ones you want to import. The key part is step 1. The Fuji manual does a poor job of explaining this, I agree, but once you realize this point it is quick and reliable. This is a tip I picked up on a Fuji discussion board. Before learning this I had much the same frustration as you with the app.
Gonna try this. The app functioning is an integral part of the workflow I imagined I'd have with my X-Pro3 and the app not working is a bummer. Hope this works for me! Thanks for sharing.
@@TGCid01 Good luck! I assume it is much the same on the XPro3 though I haven’t tried it myself. Once you get that working, here’s another tip: You can put “Wireless Communication” in the “My Menu” for much quicker access to it.
@JazzFan74 Geez. Thanks for this tip. Connecting the camera to the app has been hit or miss for me, but I followed your method and was able to connect on the first try. Thanks again!
The best part of the x100 is the internal ND filter and leaf shutter. Gives the internal flash insane effectiveness, which you never get on a regular dlsr camera. Now you can shoot a portrait in full sunlight, F2.0, fill in flash, and gorgeous results. And it all fits in one hand. It's a marvel, this camera.
Great video! My X100V is my favorite camera of all time! It has rekindled my love for photography! It is not the perfect camera for all situations. It often makes me think out of the box to make it work for the specific situation. I have since sold all my “professional” canon gear including my array of canon L glass. It is the only camera I now own and could not be happier.
i am not ino photography but watching you explain in such detail made me watch the whole video without skipping . the quality on this camera is amazing.
I've owned the X100 3 times and every time loving it. It's not just some "hype", but a really amazing lens, and usable features for the price and size that makes photography enjoyable, especially the newest V. There's also that amazing (ok I'm superficial) good looks and its colour rendering and simulations. There are limitations, but again, you can't really pack more into the same size.
Oh, I did get the original lens hood and a protective filter to make it weather resistant. I was worried about the size and weight initially, but the hood is actually pretty much the same weight as the cap, and the filter weight is negligible, but it makes the photography much swifter and enjoyable. So I do recommend the original hood (some prefer the JJC but I just like original stuff, but I'm superficial remember?) Do remember to take off the hood when using the in body flash as it blocks the light, and the hood seems easy to be dropped or lost, but so far it's stayed on the camera.
My first Fuji film camera was the silver X-T4. I still get excited going to shoot with it. I like the retro look and the amount of customization offered with the different dials/buttons.
I managed to rent the original X100 and despite its age, it was very enjoyable. For those who believe 26 megapixels aren't enough, the 12-megapixel sensor on the original X100 have proven to be enough for social media sharing.
I switched to this camera after having Sony a6400 half a year ago, and so far I think it’s the best purchase I’ve done. The pictures quality and the feedback I get from my friends definitely worth it. I enjoy every second of using it due to incredible handiness and charm of film simulation. The APP sucks, yeah, I barely use it, but you can prioritize a transfer order from the camera and they will be transferred to your phone while the camera is not in use.
@@AndrewEthanZeng by the way, disable this if you didn't: settings -> general settings -> resize image for smartphone. It will increase the file size to 26MP, making photos way sharper
@@remixedyoutube7669 There is a downside to that. Depending on shooting styles, it may be better to set it to the 3mp settings. I shot an average of 500~1000 photos a day on a holiday. Full res images take longer to transfer and if you only want to upload to IG stories or something, 3mp is more than enough since IG posts are only around 1mp.
I was watching a ton of reviews for both this and the Sony ZV1 and it's nice to find a review that is not too technical for someone like me. I point and shoot and just learn the ropes after.
One thing you forgot to mention is the leaf shutter. It has a max shutter speed of 1/1600 (practically) because anything faster cuts the bokeh into a leaf shape. But yeah, Fuji film simulations are a game changer. I was on a 2 week trip, rented the A7R4 + 35mm GM for 7 days. Guess what, I returned the A7R4 in 4 days because I just enjoyed my Fujifilm far far more.
Amazing videography (and now photography) as always Andrew 👍 Gotta love those fuji recipes, this makes me wanna go out more and shoot some jpegs as well and give that xprofilm recipe a go
I still haven't been able to get my hands on a silver since its release in 2020. I think the next version might be announced during the X-summit this May. Hopefully stock levels will be back. It's still sold out everywhere.
Yeah I'm still waiting as well. I got a chance to use some of the previous versions (S and F) and it's a great little camera for everyday capture moments/traveling. The next announcement of products is in September.@@TylrMorgnProductions
As someone who isnt a photographer but just loves taking photos. Ive been wanting to buy a camera for a while now, the thing that appeals to me about the X100 line up is. It is what it is. When ever i look at buying something like an XT2 used or something similar i have to buy a few lens’ I can see how that get expensive really quick especially for a hobbyist who isnt fully sure on what they want and going out on a trip with 4 different lens wondering which one to use. The X100F was the top of my want list but I think the weather sealing has really made my want the V. Great camera
Nice review work, Andrew! And welcome to the Fujifilm family! I’ve been using Fujifilm since 2017 and while I’ve tried several other cameras from Sony, Canon, Nikon and Panasonic (both apsc and full frame), Fujifilm is the one that make me enjoy photography and the images just have that special feel to it. Happy shooting and look forward to seeing more of your work! I’ve liked your IG as well and your images look stunning! 👍
I got my way into the fuji ecosystem with a x-t4. Ended up getting the x100v because I really liked the retro aesthetic and I can't keep my hands off of it. As much of a beast the x-t4 is, I always find myself taking the x100v everywhere! It really makes you want to take pictures with it. Also, you absolutely nailed it with the Fuji app. It is absolute trash in its current state. And I've used the early versions of canon's app in the past. Honestly, your best option is to just get a usb-c/lightning to SD card dongle. Much faster to transfer files straight of camera that way than to rely on the app.
The X100V does make it look fun and easy. Hoping for a better app in the future to keep up with the sleek feel of the camera. We wanna to minimize cables while travelling, but I agree that it is a better option for now.
@@AndrewEthanZeng It came out in 2020, so a bit long in the tooth..Should I wait for the next iteration of the x100v? I have a. pen f but looking for a better video/stills combo that's lightweight
The NiSi brand UHD UV filter screws right on, barely changes the size of the camera, fully weather seals it, and you can use that beautiful lens cap that the V came with. It's only 40 bucks!
[Aesthetic] My love for Fuji started with the X10. And, yes, Classic Chrome is also a favorite of mine as well as Pro Negative. I shoot with the X-T1 (still) and an X-E4 (I gave my X-E2 to my daughter). Nice shots on your IG, BTW. Cheers!
When it comes to specs or performance, fuji cameras are not the best cameras on earth, but they give nice experience which makes their users shoot more photos… by the way, i want to know your ‘custom’ sims… what a fantastic film look!
Probably the best review of the XT-100V I have seen. I own the original XT 100 and I'm looking to update, so I have looked at many reviews. I think you have convinced me to update to the XT-100V.
Not bad. Paid more or less the same for one in 2020, it had a lesser shutter count though. Only reason I sold it was because I was able to get a X100F for $600. But you’ll enjoy your X100T.
“Aesthetic” I loved your x100v video!!! I’ve been thinking to get either x100v or xt30ii. But I haven’t decided yet though! ..keep your good works. Thank you
I own a fuji xt3 and an x100v shooting for my channel here on youtube- I will say initially i had issues with the fuji app for photo preview but once you work out how to do it it actually works every time.sometimes it's the order of turning on your Bluetooth on your phone and camera setting and another is when to power on your camera after already turning on the app to get it to work.
Great video Andrew! I also bought a Fuji quite recently, so I just loved watching you play with these film Simulations. It would be awesome if you could share your own recipes with us. Alright learned quite a lot of you, looking forward for more 😀
There's actually 5 stops of neutral density setting. Fuji cameras all come with one stop of digital neutral density filtering by setting the ISO to LOW since this does not in any way improve the IQ but just simply doubles your exposure. Funny I've never heard any Fuji reviews mention this. The ISO dial may say, "80," but the IQ is exactly the same as 160, so unless you need a stop of density filtering, don't bother. Might be useful info if you're out during the day with another Fuji body and want to open your lens up one stop, but that's all it does.
Nice video. But I have to disagree about the AF. The Sony A6400 is far better than the Fuji. Although the AF on the Fuji is improved, the lense mechanism isn’t. Sony is still the class leader in AF, esp. in face and eye recognition. This said, the Fuji is, along with my Ricoh GRIII, my favourite camera. And you described very well what is so outstanding about the Fuji.
I have this camera for a while, and I can confirm it's one of the best camera ever made, and the best looking camera ever, in my opinion. But I stoped taking pictures (from any camera) because of the practicality of smartphones. Fuji (or any camera maker) should work harder to make easier to upload pictures directly to smartphones or social media. What is the point of have those beautiful film simulations if we will have to upload everything on computer anyway? At least, they should make the app usable.
I use a black pro mist 1/4 filter on my XT4 35mm 1.4. I can confirm that it does add to the film-like quality if you use the grain settings. I mostly shoot acros film sim and I can't see the difference when I compare it to a film shot I took years ago.
I use glimmer glass filter to get the highlight halation but keep the contrast and sharpness - but that’s the fun of picking and choosing a filter to complete the look
A great video thankyou! I have a Nikon Dslr which is just too heavy for me now and I have been looking at the Fujifilm 100v, you have explained so much in such detail, you deserve a medal for making this video, I will most definitely purchase one now, will still keep my Dslr though! :) many many thanks you have made my day :)
Great review, nice camera. I recently sold my X-T2 and just carry the RX100MC and my iPhone 14 pro. I do miss my Fuji profiles and strangely the weight of a "real" camera on my shoulder. I can carry the Sony in my sports coat's inner pocket or in my daily carry bag.
Hi Andrew - love the video! Would you mind sharing how you customised the settings so as to produce those beautiful colours in the camera? I adore the colours!
Thanks for this. Your reviews are always so good. My friend has one, I've used it and can see exactly why you love yours so much... Might buy one as a travel camera but does anyone know when the next gen will come out?
Probably not within this year. This year they are focusing heavily on the flagships (and new lenses) because right now it's a make or break situation for a lot of crop sensor companies. Fuji isn't in as much danger (relative to Panasonic/Olympus), but they are challenging the A7iv/R6 with their new dual X-H2 flagships. Not sure how the next X100 will be like because there will likely be 2 new sensors in 2022. This is what I've heard from local Fujifilm tech staff. [26mp stacked and 40mp non-stacked. 2 X-H2 models, new mechanical shutter capable of 30fps burst] And we know Fuji uses the same sensor across almost all models except for entry level bodies. The stacked version will never make it into casual models like the X100/X-T line (X-T5 replacing X-T30ii, entire X-T line becomes enthusiast line. X-H is to be the only pro series) , and we don't know if the current X100V lens can resolve 40mp sensors. It is crazy sharp, but idk if it's on the same level as the new 18,23,33 f/1.4 primes. We also don't know if Fuji will just throw a 40mp sensor into all the non-flagship line yet.
Older video but I am SO happy you mentioned the basically useless Fuji app!!! Why bother putting in bluetooth and wifi connectivity when the app doesn't work? Kind of left a sour taste in my mouth with the price tag...
I just picked one up used for 950.00 in the Silver and Black at a local camera store with less than 800 shots with a hand strap, the filter protector and hood with the booklet. This camera is still extremely hard to find and I got lucky. The app is horrible and I have it set up as OVF and I'm using the viewfinder only to save battery life. I echo all of your comments regarding this camera and it's film simulations.
ahhh currently my setup is a sony a6300 with a sigma 18-35, but i am seriously contemplating selling my current setup and getting the X100V, thoughts anyone?
Thanks for the video, very nice vibe. I use Sony, I think in Autofocus nothing can beat it. This is the only worry that I have with other camera brands. I tested Fuji XPRO3 and XT-4 and their Autofocus is not as good as the Sony. However, Fuji cameras are very cool :).
Rookie here: is this a good camera for someone looking to not edit their images. Simply set the camera shoot, not worry about editing, settings and what not
At 5:20 mins around, you do mention how you can shoot jpeg with custom profile and also shoot raw. But if superimposed, are both raw and jpeg images of same size or fujfifilm does auto distortion and other corrections to jpeg and so superimposed images becomes different?
i was a bit let down by the performance of the lens and the fact it hasn't got any image stabilization, crucial for low light situations imho. i'm going to sell mine and get the x-t4 instead. it's compact and pretty enough and there are small lenses but better ones. my primes all take much sharper images wide open. yes, it's a bigger package but it really is the smartphone that we have on us at all times anyway, and not the x100 as many of us including myself have wished for...
Oh, sorry it did not work out for you. I'm still exploring the X100V and have been enjoying it so far. I will observe the points you mentioned. Thanks!
Outstanding! I'm still prepared to wait for the X100VI - maybe a decent IBIS and bigger grip, and more pixels, and heat management, and longer videos, and better automatic focus, and thumb grip, and proper neck strap, and maybe a more versatile screen - simple tilt-up is very limiting.
Hey man loved the video. You gotta new subscriber! I was wondering if you could please tell us what your recipe was for the vintage look? I’m a amateur so not sure if this is bad photography etiquette to ask lol if it is bad etiquette to ask I’m sorry :) have a nice day

excellent, Andrew! I've had mine for about 6 months I love it now more than ever.

I’m finally joining this cult. I run L-Mount and M4/3 generally, but the aesthetic of the x100v is only paralleled by Leicas and the Olympus Pen f.

I suggest you owning a type C to sd card reader when travelling.
The Fujifilm Cam Remote app is such a pain in the ass. You should definitely grab a card reader to lightning dongle to transfer photos Andrew

What is the point of have those beautiful film simulations if we will have to upload everything on computer anyway? At least, they should make the app usable.
I agree, this camera looks so good and wouldn't look outdated easily. The app is a pain that hopefully gets addressed soon.
Ehm, have you ever seen a Leica M ?
I’m waiting for a version with image stabilizer. Only then will it be perfect.
I use a black pro mist 1/4 filter on my XT4 35mm 1.4. I can confirm that it does add to the film-like quality if you use the grain settings. I mostly shoot acros film sim and I can't see the difference when I compare it to a film shot I took years ago.
I use glimmer glass filter to get the highlight halation but keep the contrast and sharpness - but that’s the fun of picking and choosing a filter to complete the look
Has the app improved since then? If not, what are the alternatives to extracting photo other than transferring to a computer?
which film simulation did you use for the plane window shot etc? i really love that one
This is a wonderful presentation 😃
Thank you! Cheers!
A great video thankyou! I have a Nikon Dslr which is just too heavy for me now and I have been looking at the Fujifilm 100v, you have explained so much in such detail, you deserve a medal for making this video, I will most definitely purchase one now, will still keep my Dslr though! :) many many thanks you have made my day :)
Glad it was helpful!
Great review I bought one for my dad for Christmas 2 years ago because it’s very simple to use and takes amazing photos. Sub
Very cool! Hope he is having a blast with it!
so good. thanks !!!
Great review, nice camera. I recently sold my X-T2 and just carry the RX100MC and my iPhone 14 pro. I do miss my Fuji profiles and strangely the weight of a "real" camera on my shoulder. I can carry the Sony in my sports coat's inner pocket or in my daily carry bag.
Great review!
Hello. Do you mind sharing the custom recipes you used for those temple shots?
Nice vid, thanks! I just bought one from your recommend.
Hi Andrew - love the video! Would you mind sharing how you customised the settings so as to produce those beautiful colours in the camera? I adore the colours!
They have updated this since this video. So the app is much better
Thanks for this. Your reviews are always so good. My friend has one, I've used it and can see exactly why you love yours so much... Might buy one as a travel camera but does anyone know when the next gen will come out?
I'm assuming somewhat soon, possibly this year, if we take a look at the launch timeline of previous Fuji X models
Probably not within this year. This year they are focusing heavily on the flagships (and new lenses) because right now it's a make or break situation for a lot of crop sensor companies. Fuji isn't in as much danger (relative to Panasonic/Olympus), but they are challenging the A7iv/R6 with their new dual X-H2 flagships.
Not sure how the next X100 will be like because there will likely be 2 new sensors in 2022. This is what I've heard from local Fujifilm tech staff.
[26mp stacked and 40mp non-stacked. 2 X-H2 models, new mechanical shutter capable of 30fps burst]
And we know Fuji uses the same sensor across almost all models except for entry level bodies. The stacked version will never make it into casual models like the X100/X-T line (X-T5 replacing X-T30ii, entire X-T line becomes enthusiast line. X-H is to be the only pro series) , and we don't know if the current X100V lens can resolve 40mp sensors. It is crazy sharp, but idk if it's on the same level as the new 18,23,33 f/1.4 primes. We also don't know if Fuji will just throw a 40mp sensor into all the non-flagship line yet.
The only thing you’re missing now is the lens mate thumb grip!
And a strap :) I'm too scared to use mine without a strap.
Great video, the SD card to lightning adaptor is my best friend!
Older video but I am SO happy you mentioned the basically useless Fuji app!!! Why bother putting in bluetooth and wifi connectivity when the app doesn't work? Kind of left a sour taste in my mouth with the price tag...
That XPro+ Custom “Ethereal” film simulation you created is gorgeous. Care to share your “recipe?”
Does your x100v tend to warm while taking pics?
I have this too and love it. I just wish the autofocus was in the same universe as my Sony cameras. It's the only downside.
Did not encounter too much issues with it the last time, but I am travelling soon so I'll be able to test it more. 📸
This is amazing. Just got mine! Can you reveal the film recipes you used to get the shots on your instagram?
X100V is an awesome camera. Welcome to the Fujifam
Aesthetic!
I just picked one up used for 950.00 in the Silver and Black at a local camera store with less than 800 shots with a hand strap, the filter protector and hood with the booklet. This camera is still extremely hard to find and I got lucky.
The app is horrible and I have it set up as OVF and I'm using the viewfinder only to save battery life. I echo all of your comments regarding this camera and it's film simulations.
Forgive the noobie question lol. but does it handle macro photo for the occasional macro shot? Or is it able to focus quite closely?
Is it still worth it in 2023? I’m thinking of getting one as a companion camera
"Ascetic" Great review. Can you use the Fuji film simulations as a starting point in your raw photos?
Superb video !!! Subscribed
Any similar cameras from Olympus and Sony (except a6 sth) ?
Is it pockatable & compact ? easy to use ? how is performance over Sony Rx 100 V 7 ?
ahhh currently my setup is a sony a6300 with a sigma 18-35, but i am seriously contemplating selling my current setup and getting the X100V, thoughts anyone?
Are you able to take just regular photos (without simulation or adjustments) on this camera?
or does it always apply a simulation preset?
What is your custom setting for the simulated film look!? Yours looks amazing!
With the prices of color film rising, it appears that a lot of people are now shooting with the Fuji X100 series.
I recently bought an XT20 with a 35 mm lens and I am absolutely satisfied.
And yes, the Fuji-App is really terrible.
Thanks for the video, very nice vibe. I use Sony, I think in Autofocus nothing can beat it. This is the only worry that I have with other camera brands. I tested Fuji XPRO3 and XT-4 and their Autofocus is not as good as the Sony. However, Fuji cameras are very cool :).
Canon has the best autofocus on the market
Would you happen to have the recipe for the photo at 4:49? It's beautiful.
Thanks for the video. which film simulation did you use?...i mean custom film simulation recipe
Great review mate. Amazing camera. Love it to death.
Rookie here: is this a good camera for someone looking to not edit their images. Simply set the camera shoot, not worry about editing, settings and what not
Based on the film presets I’d say so!
At 5:20 mins around, you do mention how you can shoot jpeg with custom profile and also shoot raw. But if superimposed, are both raw and jpeg images of same size or fujfifilm does auto distortion and other corrections to jpeg and so superimposed images becomes different?
Update the firmware on your V. 2.11 is the latest but even with 2.10 they fixed all the BT connectivity issues.
Which custom profile do you use? Would you mind sharing the settings?
i was a bit let down by the performance of the lens and the fact it hasn't got any image stabilization, crucial for low light situations imho. i'm going to sell mine and get the x-t4 instead. it's compact and pretty enough and there are small lenses but better ones. my primes all take much sharper images wide open. yes, it's a bigger package but it really is the smartphone that we have on us at all times anyway, and not the x100 as many of us including myself have wished for...
Oh, sorry it did not work out for you. I'm still exploring the X100V and have been enjoying it so far. I will observe the points you mentioned. Thanks!
Outstanding! I'm still prepared to wait for the X100VI - maybe a decent IBIS and bigger grip, and more pixels, and heat management, and longer videos, and better automatic focus, and thumb grip, and proper neck strap, and maybe a more versatile screen - simple tilt-up is very limiting.
Hey, can you please share your film simulation that you used in the video. It looks super good. I need to take picture with those settings :D
Hey man loved the video. You gotta new subscriber! I was wondering if you could please tell us what your recipe was for the vintage look? I’m a amateur so not sure if this is bad photography etiquette to ask lol if it is bad etiquette to ask I’m sorry :) have a nice day
Do you share your in camera settings to create your pictures anywhere?
Can you share your custom film sim? It looked great
