Save yourself 9 minutes of your life. It's the X100F
Thank you big boss o7
I saw this too late, but thanks lmao
Thank you. Glad I purchased my x100f when it first came out.
Thank you sir.
Thanks
I bought one of the first X100S models back in 2013. It was early in the production run as the serial number is 00272. Despite having a room full of Canon pro bodies & lenses, the X100S is still my most used camera. It has travelled all over Europe with me and been on two USA road trips. It won me the title of photographer of the year in a UK regional newspaper. Great for street photography and anywhere you need to be discreet but still get top quality images.
yup, I ran Nikon for years. I got out of the business and now the X100s is still here. Though I do miss the blazing speed of my pro gear. But shutter speed and depth of field overcome that!
My X100S serial number was 184!
I just started really using a recently acquired X100F beyond the initial crush with it’s design and looks. I started trying it even in studio portraits and I am really excited about the image quality. It’s a beautiful people photography camera. Absolutely agree with you.
I saw you hunting in that picture. It is illegal to be a Fuji fanboy and not a vegan. I will report you.
Stop. Don’t do this. What do you gain from this?
@@DeeRosa Just a laugh bro :) I though it was obviously over the top to be taken seriously
I know lol I was joking back 😂
@@DeeRosa :) it's all good. love your videos
😂😂😂
I think another alternative might be the x-e4 with the 27mm f2.8 lens. It’s a tighter, focal length, but It will definitely be a very small set up, producing nice quality images.
x-e4 + XF35mm f/1.4 + XF 18-55mm f/2.8. No other lens required. Peace.
X-E4 + 18mm F2 maybe too
@@georgechen1124 that's far from an alternative though. A non pancake prime and a zoom lens isn't really comparable to the inbuilt lens on the x100v
@@radovansurlak7445 I'm using my XE4/18mm f2 , after firmware update, for street photography exclusively.
RAW only, processed in Photoshop 23.
ACR > Enhance. 22 seconds conversion for uncompressed RAW. 100 MB output - no problem with 4TB of external disk storage..
Zero all 'Detail' sliders in ACR.
PS > Smart Sharpen. (Find the best combination by trial and error.)
Eliminates all X-Trans 'issues' and produces a result at least as good if not superior to my 'other combo', a Sony a99V/Zeiss 24mm f2.
End of story.
I am amused/bemused/confused why so may TH-cam experts talk about X Trans and Lightroom when Photoshop, with all its additional options, is largely ignored.
@@graemeallan7883 alright…
I actually prefer the X100F. Feels better to hold, has more controls, and is easier to 'work hard' in my experience. The X100V is more prone to overheating or simply getting hot from heavy sunlight on the aluminum top. It's frustrating how both the X100V and the GR3 have heat issues since they're two of my favorite cameras.
I also low-key prefer my x100f...
I know you can’t get the x100v but for me I love the f mainly now for the D pad
Had a GrII for years, loved it so much I had to have the GRIII when it came out. Picked one up and the touch screen focus allows for setting the focus in manual and makes the camera blazingly fast. Sold the GrII and everything was great until it was stolen while in my sling bag.
Local store didn't have one in stock, so I picked up an X100V and loved so much about it that I bought it on-site. Absolutely the closest digital version of my favorite mechanical rangefinder film cameras.
Fast forward few months and even though I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the X100V, I realized I just wasn't shooting as much because, as you said - size matters.
I picked up another GrIII and compared them both for another few months - the GR won pretty much every time. It's just so much more convenient and the form-factor just works.
I sold the X100V a few months later (it's such a little jewel that didn't want to let it go).
No regrets, the GR is in a class of its own.
Btw, that's 3 GR cameras over the span of 8yrs - no dust and no button or wheel issues at all...
Cheers, and great video btw!
Wish I had the same luck.
I would not trade my GR3 for anything. I get better results from it than I do my K3iii
I already own the best alternative, the X100F.
I bought a X100t with less then 10k exposures for a very good price and I'm so happy with it. Works great for street photography as well as some rougher portraits. I take it everywhere I go. The only thing why I would go for the V is the weather sealing.
where did you bought ?
@@Paula-kr2gj ebay
Wild that now 10 months later a used X100F is going for above retail price of the X100V
Thought about getting a X100V but it is impossible to find. I have a X100S and it is surprising fun to use. Also have a GR III. Honestly the form factor really does make a difference. I can carry it anywhere and the images are awesome. No camera is perfect 😢 but there are some pretty good ones out there.
I'm loving my XE4. It's minimalism and for me wanting to learn manual shooting, I love that buttons and notches and thing aren't getting in my way. Yeah, I love the simulations and the exploration I'm having with the 16mm F1.4 in either day or night situations. It's just fun.
The optical viewfinder of the X100 is what really defines the line!!!
Ricoh GR IIIx. It's pocketable and APS-C. It has a leaf shutter. And it also has highlight priority exposure.
Just sold mine because of fear of dust. It was honestly incredible though.
@@7743dustin I have heard of this issue. I plan to take a vacuum to it while activating the sensor vibration function. I'll just have to see for myself how bad it gets.
I love the Ricoh cameras but I can’t recommend them - but you may want to go on Reddit to look at the vacuuming this; people have reported trying that and they fuck up the ibis mechanism.
@@DeeRosa Fucking up the IBIS sounds ominous. I suppose if the suction were hard enough then that could happen, like sucking it with a Shop-Vac.
What is your biggest gripe about the GR? I have used the IIIx for a month and the only thing I do not like about it is the autofocus occasionally hunts and doesn't quite stick like a Fuji. But it has highlight priority exposure which I wish Fuji had.
My biggest gripes are literally what I said in the video? Lmao. Did you not watch it? There’s a whole section about that and the GRiii & GRiiix.
Great video, I have a X100F. I bought it when it first came out and love it. I did not see any reason to try to upgraded to the X100V.
I do get that the Ricoh GR III is a bit fragile in some ways, however the fix for the back scroll wheel problem was solved long ago. It just takes a couple of drops of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), ideally at 99% concentration, in the gap between the wheel and the body (while switched off and battery out of course). This is often also packaged as "electrical contact cleaner" in an aerosol can, but is effectively the same thing. Just 2 or 3 small drops, spin the wheel back and forth a couple of times and it is solved. It is just a dirty contact. Of course the camera should be made to not allow the dirt to get on the contacts in the first place, but it is such an easy fix it should not be the ONLY reason to refuse the camera.
Do NOT use anything that would leave a residue, such as WD40 or any oil based or other solvent cleaners, they will do more damage than good. Isopropyl alcohol is a great de-greaser, evaporates extremely quickly (unlike water) and leaves no residue, which is why it is perfect for this kind of application.
To reduce the dirt in the body / on the sensor issue it is best to keep the camera in a small case rather than a messy lint filled jacket pocket or purse. If they built a more rugged, sealed version of this camera that would survive in a pocket along with your car keys and old candy wrappers, it would be a real winner!
The fix stoped working on mine.
When I have to start planning everything around a camera including where to store it and how to handle it it no longer becomes as convenient.
Sold my X100T and switched to Sony A7C with Zeiss 35mm 2.8. Couldn’t be happier. The goodness of full frame especially in low light is amazing.
Love the zeiss lens can’t lie.
Will say though that I’m surprised you’re enjoying the lowlight. F2.8 on FF still gathers less light than F2 on apsc regardless of sensor.
"They have a burger for that shit." I am DECEASED! Dude... this is such a good video.
1:31 is where you got a new subscriber. I'm tired of channels that are afraid to fight back. Also as I shop for a first-time Fuji camera, I've watched a few of your videos...and it was helpful.
I just subscribed as well for this being one of the reasons. Great video though.
Can always count on you to say what we’re thinking lol. Personally, I don’t get the hype. However, I understand why the X100V is a great camera. I just have a problem spending that kind of money on one considering what you can buy on the used market for the same money.
I'm loving the X100V hype, I had one for two years and recently just ditched it for $400 more than I paid for it. It was a nice little camera, but really it's biggest draw is how it looked aesthetically. It wasn't really any smaller than my Nikon Z6ii and 28mm lens and certainly didn't take as good of photos.
@@thisisbenji90 if you’re on the selling end of it, yeah I bet 😂
I had a X100s for 10 years. Now I have a GR IIIx. Love them both.
I just can’t trust the GR line 😞 but I do look at that GRiiiX and I get excited. I’m a 40mm truther and a few months back I wanted to pair the GRiii with a GRiiiX for event work.
The reasons I heard the x100v was great for the ND filter, fast x-sync, built-in flash for fill, and yeah because it looks nice. I wish they made the x100v with an interchangeable lens.
they do, it's called XE4
Perfectly happy with the X100 I bought last year. 12 megapixels are enough, handling feels great, the hybrid viewfinder is nice to use, and I can add Classic Neg in post.
I've been using my X100F for 7 years now and am very happy with the results. Been a pro for over 50 years.
I fucking love your videos. It's very refreshing to hear someone not hold back about all this. People complaining about a lens being soft when shot at f2 have 0 credibility with me. I'm so sick of YT and seeing the same videos over and over about the same one or two cameras over and over. Mostly everyone is just saying what their sponsors are paying them to say, and it's obvious.
Dee Rosa comin' in hot with the opinions! J/K, I actually really appreciate your perspective.
I have to disagree with you on this. The XE-3 with the 27mm is the alternative. The size is nearly identical, in fact it's a little smaller than the X100V. In my opinion the 40MM equivalent is a better general purpose lens than the 35mm equiv of the 100. But the big advantage is i CAN use other lenses. I can throw on the 18mm pancake for a superwide, and it fits in my front pocket. I can use it as a second body for shoots. The XE3 with the 27 is the alternative for me. The only features I miss are the weather sealing and the flip up screen. (the x100f doesn't have a flip up screen.) And let's be honest, who ever uses an on body flash?
The real x100v alternatives are lumix gx9 + 20mm f1.7 or 15mm f1.7
"I don't want to say it's filmic, but it's filmic." Dude... too funny.
Keep givin' em hell Bro...
I subscribed for the FU at the beginning! 😂Thanks for the laugh and for your insight! Looking forward to watching your other videos!
Another thing my x100F has the D Pad which is now missing on the later models.....Great and informative vid!
I admit I was getting sucked into this X100v thing. Could not find one so went for a XT30ii with a 35mm f2 lens and love it. Still small enough, looks great and the usual simulations are so nice. Not once regretted it 👍
Good combo. I’m a fan of the 50mm field of view.
you will like it more than the 100v. The 'V' is a very limited camera. Sold my first x100 quick as spit.
You probably made the best decision. Now you have an incredible camera and you'll be able tp grow your photography skills with other lenses of the fuji x ecosystem once you are tired of this 35mm. haha
Thanks for posting; also diggin' the torture device ear ring!!!!!!!! SO BRUTAL!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm still in love with my x100s
I think you're absolutely right about all of this , EXCEPT that the supply problems with the X100V have made used prices for the X100F 12 or 13 hundred dollars. About the same as the retail price for a new X100V. I think when Fuji catches up on X100V production, the price of used X100Fs will suddenly drop to 5 or 6 hundred, where it should be.
I have an X100T that I've owned for maybe 5 years, and it's just fine. I've preordered an X100V atone of the big New York stores, so when it comes in I'll get it for 1400, which still seems a little high for what it is, but whatever. I can wait.
Absolutely agree with your comments about the older lens. It's perfectly fine for the kinds of things that I actually want to do with the camera, and I'm not clear on why anyone would be doing macro photography, close up and wide open, with a rangefinder style camera. (Unless it's the only camerayou have, I guess.). In fact, I'd guess that Fuji saved a couple of bucks on the original lens design because it didn't occur to them that people would use it close up and wide open.
Anyway, great video. Subscribed.
Eso essss Coñooooooo!!!! Finally a honest and straight forward opinion!!! I’m with you 1K%
New Dee Video is always much needed. Thank you, big bro 🙏🏼
Love your comments about these cameras. By coincidence I found a brand new X100F about 3 weeks ago. It replaces my aged original X100. Absolutely happy with the F.
Just found your channel and so far I’m liking the perspective and information you’re bringing to the table. I’ve been shooting the X100V and also have the XT3 and XH1. I’m surprised know one is bringing up the built in flash in the X100’s. IMO it’s under utilized and it just brings a level of pop and subject separation that no one’s talking about. Maybe a subject you can talk about in a future video! Keep up the good work.
Any thoughts on the lumix gx85?

Gave a thumbs up for 1:03-1:32 alone. Photographers are way too serious sometimes. Love it! Great vid. Thank you for the informed opinion.
I have the XF10. It’s an amazing camera. I take it hiking with me, and also use it when I explore abandoned places. Love it!!
X Pro 3 is too big and heavy. I hope that X Pro 4 will be size and weight of X Pro 1.
I use still a X 70. On the road I have two cameras X Pro 2 with a tele and X 70. It’s a good combo.
New to your channel mate from the UK. Got sucked in by the GFX chat. I bought a X100f last year, 700 quid, mint with 1200 clicks on the engine. What a beauty. Wanted smaller and more discrete than X-pro, and price that wasn't dumb high for a camera used for 'quality' snaps. Been blown away by it. Final point: I've taken thousands of photos on my mobile. Amazing family memories and extremely useful work tool. But the images were never good enough for anything other than reference... x100f is small enough (just) to change that. Still doesnt fit in a f#%£ing pocket though!.... keep it up brother 👊🏽🦩💣
Your videos are great man, instant subcribe lol.
every camera is valuable, ad you said.
just go there and shot, find your style and love what you get from what you have
Outstanding!!!! Well said, you served it cold with sandpaper napkins 👏👏👏👏👏
X-Pro2 baby, never look back. Had the original x100, sold it very quickly, it was sloooooooow and limited. Now the x-pro2 and X-H1 are different cookies.
Great discussion . Thanks for posting. I’m always confused about one camera or another can suddenly become a “cult camera”. I’m tempted to think that it comes down to the ability of a camera system to use small/ compact lenses . Our old 35mm film cameras offered such nice manual focus sharp compact and reasonably fast lenses .
TH-cam. TH-cam turns cameras into cult cameras at an amazing speed. Pre-Internet, for decades, there were really only two cult cameras, Leica rangefinders and Hasselblad's.
What I would love is pick my favourite analogue film camera and let someone install a digital sensor. Maybe is I could use it as both an analogue and digital camera, that would be great.
X100f ... got one, ages ago .. Nice camera .. never felt the need to upgrade.
Not mad at you or your videos, but I'm not shelling $1200+ on any fixed lens camera, ever. Too much can go wrong and the whole camera becomes useless. The X100F should be worth $600 today, unfortunately it is selling for $1100+ and climbing. The X100T cannot be found is decent shape and low shutter count at a decent price. The X70 is also great but too small and button are too cramped. There are no alternatives to the X100V, hence the sky rocketing price. There are however other alternatives, look at Panasonic, Sony, Pentax, and Olympus. The X100V is a hyped up camera that produces great image quality, but then so do many other cameras. The hype was a concerted effort by all those YT Fuji ambassadors. Let's see how prices drop after the release of a new X100 camera.
The x20, a little gem
The RX1 is a smaller camera than the X100 series.
Totally agree with people whining about shooting macro on a non-macro lens/setup.
Chill with the anger bro. You act like you’re Ansel Adams status when you ain’t.
This was a horrible attempt lol
I have a X-A7 with a XF 27mm f/2.8 Gen I on it. It’s so sharp my eyes bleed. It uses the same 126 battery as most of the Fuji cameras, APSC 24.2 MP sensor. Sharp 2.5” touch screen 2.8 million dot, does 4K video. Very under the radar camera.
I think its just the limitations that makes it attractive. Basic, no lens to worry about and its good looking. I owned a xt30 that everyone says is superior. But I sold it as i found fujis lens selection is just a lot smaller than the competition. It also sucked as a hybrid camera. For me sony just made more sense. Better lens selection better video great pictures. However instead i used the money to get a DJI video camera and now just want a super easy basic small camera. No lens's to worry about just a old school documentary style camera. Which the fuji seems to do well? Now unfortunately there is some crazy hype around this camera and its ridiculously priced for what it is. I thought it would have dropped by now being a few years old but its seems the opposite has occurred. With video now covered and stills being the only focus. What is left?
You need to stop getting defensive for no reason my guy. I agree with all the points in the video. The X100F is almost as good for most people, just need to stop down a bit, and it is like almost half the price now. However, even the X100F is in high demand judging from r/photomarket.
Huh?
The Sony a7C measures in at only 124 x 71 x 60 mm and has a FULL FRAME (35.6 x 23.8 mm) sensor. The Fujifilm X100V comes in at 128 x 75 x 53 mm and has an APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm) sensor. The Sony 7C "has one of the best autofocus systems currently on the market" (DPReview) and has a huge suite of lenses to choose from. The 2021 Sony FE 24mm F2.8 G is fairly compact, and 24mm is optimal for true candid street photography (35mm barely cuts it). It lengthens the camera to about 90cm, front to back, but that seems to be the only drawback to all the pluses. It can come packaged with the fairly compact FE 28-60mm F4-5.6, which will cover most any other street photography needs. It's incredible that almost nobody is talking about the Sony a7C as an optimal candid street camera. Ever since I bought it, I have monitored every review I can find (especially the Fuji X100V) and do not regret my decision. If Ricoh ever comes out with an improvement on their GR III, I would jump at the chance to compliment my Sony, since it is so tiny. I really don't understand the neglect of the a7C.
Go buy one then? Lmao. Are you arguing what’s better or what’s an alternative? I feel like you Som y fanbois didn’t watch ANYTHING in the video just heard me leave out your cute FF camera and got upset.
I don’t care about a FF sensor because you can’t tell what a FF image looks like. You’re all lying if you say so. You can’t pick it out of a lineup.
@@DeeRosa Not the response I was expecting from a guy who invited “very, very, mean, angry comments,” but I’ll play:
1) After much deliberation, I did buy one. But am still wondering if I made the right decision and I wonder about what the best alternative is. Your commentary on the Ricoh III was something I have never heard before. Very helpful since, so far, my next camera was surely going to be the next generation Ricoh. Now, I’ll check to see if they solved the dust and wheel problem before buying.
2) The Sony a7C is not “cute.” It’s a photography tool.
3) Your feelings deceive you. Leave them out of your analysis.
4) Your argument is that the X100F is the “ONLY” (emphasis yours) alternative. My argument is that the Sony a7C is a better alternative for some people.
5) There are advantages of FF sensors that you are disregarding. Comparing standard images on a computer monitor is not one of them. FF sensors have larger pixels that render color better and are more efficient at capturing incoming light. When ISO has to be pushed upwards, the difference between a full frame sensor and an APS-C sensor becomes obvious-even on a computer monitor. This one is big for me with my street photography. I need to shoot with 320-400fps so I often have to push ISO upwards to 800-1,250. When the sun starts going down, my full frame sensor allows me to keep going whereas an APS-C sensor would make me stop due to the difference in image quality.
6) I hate cropping; rarely did it with film. but I have to admit, I might end up doing so. The higher resolution of a full frame sensor renders better resolution than a smaller sensor when cropping.
But your main emphasis was size. Sony has a huge plethora on high quality lenses to chose from but no real alternative to the size of the noninterchangeable Fuji lenses. My preferred lens for street photography is the latest 24mm from Sony. But this juts out the camera to about 90mm, significantly more than the Fuji cameras. Significant drawback. But for me, the 35mm equivalent angle of the Fuji cameras is also a major drawback. I don't think there is an "ONLY" (emphasis yours) alternative for any camera. It's really about the needs and priorities of the photographer.
You wrote a novel and I still don’t care. You can’t tell the difference.
@@DeeRosa No problem. The comment section primarily serves the greater public audience anyway--not you. Not only are you only one person, you are a petty. Others may still benefit. Lengthy comments may not be lengthy enough when an expensive purchase is forthcoming.
@@TheReasonTroll say man don’t take it personal but I truly don’t care.
I had X-Pro2 which I loved a lot but i sold it because i had a new job and i barely been using it. I have regretted it a week after. I thought about getting X100V which wasnt that hyped at the time and was readily available. But then I heard about Panasonic lumix gx80/gx85. IBIS, tiltable screen, flash, small and light but feel super premium. I bought one used for $200 and added leica 15mm f1.7 for $330 used. Its now glued on my gx80. I honestly don’t miss Fujifilm, maybe the hybrid view finder which I enjoyed and the recipes. But for the price - gx85/80 just beats any of the fuji cameras. Its overlooked and super underrated.
Exactly this 👆🏻 or Olympus Pen-F, EM5, EM10 with the 17mm 1.8. All these MFT cameras have faster AF, better LCD screen response for touch focus/shoot, IBIS, better ergonomics in my opinion and the clutch ring of the 17mm makes manual focus super quick. Superb street machines.
Too much hype on these cameras thanks to TikTok. I love the RX1007. Sure it’s not retro looking (because we all know that’s what makes a great photographer), but it’s an absolute beast of a camera for its size.
I have the X100F and feel no compelling need to upgrade, the only two things that would tempt me is the sharper lens and flip out screen - handy for waist level shots.
Same here - exactly.
I was shooting with my GRiii a few days ago, and at one point, I realized I had shot the last ~30 shots at a full 2 stops overexposed. That damn scrollwheel is my main complaint about the camera. So I hear you.
I just got a new to me X100F for a decent price. It’s a a bit weathered but so am I. 😂
XS@) is a plus to replace the x100v apart from the slight size difference look at all the extras.
Agree or disagree respect OP.
I agree for the most part with you! I'm really considering selling my X100v for an XT5. I love the 40mp sensor and really want ibis. Im just worried about size
I bought an X100V when it came out and sold my X100F. I prefer the results that I got with the F I think mainly in the color results.
Fully agree with your conclusion . I have all the x100 model, all fun to use. Price are going up for each and every generation of x100. I also have xpro 3 and for those who can accept a slightly bigger size this model is also really fun to use with also an awesome vintage look. I understand Fuji is slowing production of xpro3 too. Prices of all the x100/xpro and x70 are going up in Europe. Even at higher price I m keen to continue to buy these model, they are not so expensive new and there is nothing equivalent in the market in terms of pleasure to use. Fuji are the best !🎉❤🎉
Great video. Very informative in a very practical way. I started with a 35mm viewfinder decades ago, then went SLR, DSLR and now mirrorless. Now I'm very interested in getting a high quality 35mm digital rangefinder camera and you've helped a lot. Thank you.
Totally, all other Fuji cameras can get the same image quality, but the package is unbeatable. Compare even the XE4 with the same lens with the ND filter and possibility of the tiny flash at 1/2000s shutter. The focal length is a personal choice but I definitely like the 35mm equivalent. Can't wait to see what the next 40mp sensor gets into the same body, so much further cropping opportunities making it feel like a 35mm - 70mm zoom lens.
But once you have the X100V, you don't wanna go back to the F. But at the moment if it's hard to find, the F is definitely is good choice. I had the T, F and the experience was really good.
However I don't agree on the Macro photography, because recently, all newer Fuji lenses have become semi-macro lenses. This is because Fuji acknowledges customers want a nice lens that can also do macro. However, I absolutely agree people shouldn't complain when they already knew what they were getting into.
Awesome video! *Thank you* 💥

@@DeeRosa oh for sure, I will check them out :D
Great video. I think you are correct that the best alternative is the X100F. However, I would disagree with your statement that the X100 will give the same images as the other cameras you mentioned. Some great videos from Rockwell and Booray explain the unique feature of the x100, the leaf shutter and built-in flash that can sync to 1/4000 sec allowing for f2 in bright sunlight. None of the other cameras can get those images. But ultimately, the only alternative is an x100f : )
I guess my question is how many times this year have you shot something at 35mm with a 1/4000 shutter speed with flash at a paid gig?
If the answer is you haven’t - then you’ll see why I am not “hating” on the x100v but that I’m being realistic in terms of what the average user will accomplish with it.
I myself shot paid work with it and never went above 1/500 because I didn’t need it.
@@DeeRosa Probably, the average user doesn't understand this capability since it is so different than other cameras. Thanks for making this video and for your insights.
I always enjoy your honesty man
Speaking the truth is always better than going with the flow
I have a request to ask
Is it possible for you to do a video about using old DSLR like the Nikon D200 or Canon 30D with cheap lenses to do street photography
So the DSLR enemies can enjoy listening to you talking about this topic
Thank you so much
Keep doing good videos
You will always have my likes and support
Have a nice Sunday man …
Nice rundown on the options. It's funny, but a short way into the video, I had an idea that your alternative was going to be. It's all moot to me, as I sit here with my X-E2, happy as can be!
Not macro shots, 23f2 is soft even for non-macro close shots... you have to stop down and then you lose light, so you need to use flash... so the shot is completely different or your setup is bigger.. you get to complain a lot though, for someone who tells people to stop complaining.
At last, someone calling it how it is without trying to please all the gear heads out there 😂
I like your Christmas tree soft focus in the back!
Much respect and appreciation, it was very refreshingly helpful!
God, so many cameras he does not recommand as replacement, that's not what I expected.
There is just something about the X-Trans III sensor and processor that has that special sauce isn’t there.
I get to use a lot of cameras but my FUN camera is a Pentax KP with 20-40mm shooting JPEG in Cross Processing mode. It's like having a film camera it's insane
I can fully agree - I have the x 100F and I am fully satisfied and would not consider any other camera as an alternative specifically not the GR III which I also own and had to be repaired twice already in two years 😧
Yup. Had two GRiii cameras. Both had issues with control wheel. One wasn’t fixable with the contact spray and so people told me to super glue it. To think that the CONSUMER is the problem when it comes to faulty equipment and the only solution to people who defend the camera is “super glue” a camera I spent $1K on.
Quote what you want, but it's treatment of your fellow man that counts. Good luck and carry on.
You say that after you judged someone else and are now dissing me for quoting Jesus Himself?
You’re exactly the person who warned people about.
Also both of your accounts pull up all your information lol. Shouldn’t use primary emails and backups for accounts you are trying to hide behind because they sell this info. Subscriptions. Locations for shipping confirmations and shared information of household members. So change your burner accounts.
Xpro2+ 27mm WR. Close enough. Fits in my pocket.
looking for x100f is as difficult lol. at least maybe in the UK. all I found was eBay resells
You had me click subscribe right after your intro :) lol … Man - that is exactly what I want to say sometimes before I start my videos! I’m getting SO many “hate” comments AND “I should say this OR I forgot to say that” People just need to chill… However you’ve inspired me to maybe stand up for myself a bit more :) Awesome video and Channel :) Great Content :)
I needed to see this video 😅 thank you!
Great video as always and I agree with you. Now the X100F is more expensive right now than my X100V when I bought it brand new a couple of years ago. Never ending story. I guess the new iteration in 2023 will solve the problem
The X100F is inflated too.
The x100v is nice but 100% not worth the cost some people are selling them for. I was offered $100 more than I paid for mine new to sell it 🤣 easiest decision ever. I have an XT2 which I was finding got more use as I prefer the interchangeable lens option. The sharpness of the lens is definitely better on the v over the 23mm f2 but only really wide open and it's not somewhere I found myself shooting. This trend of people shooting everything wide open is ridiculous, you can always tell those influenced by TH-cam when they shoot everything at f1.2 or f1.4 or whatever the widest aperture is but yeah stop the 23mm f2 down and there is very little difference. Insane how much the v has become this 'greatest of all cameras' thing when it is still 'worse' as a camera than many for similar or even cheaper prices. The power of the internet and hype.
Shooting wide open is no new trend. Already in the film era, I wished I could have. But lens quality and ability to focus were limitations. With today's improvements, I enjoy freely choosing the aperture.
It's not a new trend, it's a new possibility.
@@benoittissier58 Well, the idea that everybody should shoot everything wide open is pretty new, ,and pretty dumb.
I'm old, and I remember when most of the discussion about depth of field was about how to get more, without running into diffraction at small stops.
“They have a burger for that shit” 👏🏻
I got a great deal on my gf's x100v and I got to use it for a bit. Man, that camera is too small for my hands! I'm only 6' with maybe slightly larger than average hands, but the camera just felt too small. I also find the material used for grip on the x100v is much slicker than my xpro2, which doesn't help its case for me. I am more than happy to have weather sealing + ovf + better grip + the option to change lenses in the slightly larger xpro2. Now to just snag one of those 27mm and the portability will be too close for me to notice a difference.
X-E1 with Xf27mmf/2.8 and Xf18f/2
Love the attitude. Good video :)
X-E4 with the XF27/2.8. Problem solved. Small. Fast. The perfect '40' focal length. (There are very good reasons Leica offered the original CL (and later CLE with Minolta) with only the 40/2 and 90/4. The 40 is how we naturally 'see' the world we focus on. A 27 in APS-C format offers us the same perfect angle. Would I prefer an f/2? Yes of course, but relying on ONE STOP higher ISO to get the shot isn't really an issue any more.
And I do agree if someone WANTS to deal with the limitations of an X100 to take advantage of the leaf shutter, the built in ND and the optical eye level 'hybrid' finder, the 'F' is almost the same camera, but without a flip LCD. I didn't find I needed any of those features on either my X100F or X100V so I sold them and have three X-E4 bodies (and an X-T3) instead. :)
WR is purely a Marketing Gimmick. Don't be an idiot standing in pouring rain making photos and your cameras will survive any weather. (I have a few umbrellas and am smart enough to use them.) :)
Thank you for differentiating between depth of field and bokeh.
