The problem with all these choices, no weather sealing. In the UK it rains all the time.
Not all. Only smaller double digit ones lack WR. I sailed on Baltic sea, few years with X-H1... but with manual vintage not sealed lenses. There are no issues with them.
Visited Wales for 2 Weeks. Rainer 1 day.
This is WILD! I literally posted this exact same video this morning. 😂 Well, at least I know I'm in good company. Couldn't agree more about these two alternatives.
LOL That's awesome! I hope some of my viewers make it over to your video as well 👏 I think this is the topic for all of us who didn't get a free X100VI to try out. 😅
I love the X-T30. I bought a used one and got a steel of a deal! I wanted that more than the X100V (which I used at a wedding) because of the lens options.
The XT30 is an excellent small and lightweight alternative to the VI. No IBIS but not everyone needs that. I do. Choose the 23 or 35 f2 or 27f2.8 pancake and you’ve got something. Need IBIS? Try the XS line. All cheaper than the V or VI. Similar experience.

I was eyeing the Fujifilm X-S20 last week and have been giving it some serious thought. I am heading off to Ireland in a month and I feel like this would be a great camera for creating context, especially with the flip around screen. The price defiantly reasonable. It would not be a replacement for my Nikon z7ii but I feel like it would be an awesome travel camera.
I ordered the x-s20 a couple of days ago and fuji 18-55. Very excited about this camera! I do have the x100vi pre-ordered as well. We’ll see what happens when I get it, if I ever do. 😜
I recently bought X-T30 as my sidekick. But being honest i would sell X-T30 being on Your place, You already got X-t5 and XS-20. But there is one camera that You should have, just for sake of having complete lineup. X-Pro... maybe new one that will come, sooner or later ;)
X-Pro 2 is slept on. You get the OVF that you'd have on the X100 line, ability to change lenses, weather sealing, a fantastic sensor and it's just a great looking camera.
ooooo. I haven't shot with any of the X-Pros. That sounds like the best of both worlds.
@@jbivphotographyyou HAVE to try the Xpro2. Its the best alternative. Its a "pro" version of the X100 series.
Totally agree. I literally did a video a few days ago about it.
@@jbivphotography Maybe KEH could loan you one for a video? ;)
Xpro is not slept on its just so damn expensive and hard to find
Back to X100T has built in ND, too.
Nice
I've been thinking about this ever since the x100v, since it wasn't available I got a smaller camera in the same brand I'm already in which I'm very happy about. I was always thinking why not the same 2 cameras you mentioned in the video, for the same reasons you said in this video. If it wasn't to match what already had I would've gone for the xs20 personally. I was also waiting for your video about it 😄😄😄 cause I know you speak the truth. Nothing wrong with the x100vi just thought it was too $$$
These are really good recommendations. It's not clear how long we'll wait for the X100 VI.
I traded a load of gear to KEH and was really disappointed with the difference between what they quoted and then paid. Without changing quality ratings, they cut 30% off their quote.
Oh wow. Thank you for sharing your experience. I personally haven't experienced that (I have sold about 3-5 pieces to them).
@@jbivphotography Yeah, sorry to sound negative but I had hoped to buy some replacement gear!
I like Fuji, but you can get a Sony a6000 with most of the same features & small size for less than half that price.
I love my X100VI ❤
They are amazing cameras. Glad to hear you have one. ❤️❤️
Still awaiting my preordered body. I have the XT30 with the 23mm f2 or pancake 27f2.8 is a great combo. Same for XS10 and those lenses. I also have the X100S. Any X100 works well. As a matter of fact, any camera works. I have some Panasonic GX bodies or the LX100. Excellent budget alternatives.
The X100V at a premium is nuts. It is three years old and thus used. I ordered the V a year ago and I’m still waiting. I ordered the VI as I skipped three iterations. I don’t care about the 40MP sensor. 26MP is more than enough for me. I want the IBIS. I have essential tremor so if I’m shooting at less than 1/125 I’m in blurry land. I’d also like to use the VI for short video clips. IBIS would help tremendously. $1600 MSRP is high but still cheaper than the used V.

Nice vid big J, I have a x100vi on preorder to accompany my h2s - looking forward to trying it out
Nice. You're going to love it. I loved the little bit of time I had with it.
I got my XT30ii in January as my first Fujifilm camera. Such a great camera. It was very underrated when I got it, but now, all of a sudden, almost all stores in my country the XT30ii is sold out! 🤣
Yeah they're honestly really hard to find. I think people are trying to find a cheaper alternative to the X100VI. Finally the X-T30 is getting the shine it deserves!
Thanks for the advice. Had the x-s10 for a while but hated the shutter sound (compared to a pro2/3, t3/4/5, x100f/v). Sounds just cheap in comparison to my ear and I love the sound of a good mechanical shutter. Is the x-s20 oder x-t30 better in this regard? 🙏🏻
@@romankampa6212 From my understanding, basically the difference between the XS20 and the XT30ii is that the XS20 has ibis, better video features, maybe better autofocus, and battery life.
@@jbivphotography I have the XT30. A mini XT3. Never bought the II as the difference is minor. The XT lacks the special EVF and built in ND filter. Some people value the option to interchange lenses. There aren’t any bad Fuji bodies.

@@romankampa6212 Well I don´t know about the X-S10 but the X-T30 II had an unpleasing shutter sound for my eyes. I sold it recently and replaced it with the X-S20. I like the shutter sound a lot more, not as "cheap" but certainly not as pleasing as the X-T4 or X-T5 which both have the best shutter sound I have ever heard on a digital camera (and I had a lot of them). So if shutter sound matters to you, the X-T30 (II) is certainly no real option, at least in my eyes.
The problem with all of these "alternatives" is they don't have the leaf shutter and built in ND filter which are the IMO the main reasons why the X100 series is so unique and why many of us love them.
It’s true. The alternatives I’m listing is literally just to save money and also get the same benefits of Fujifilm. The biggest thing is the X100 series have features that a lot of other Fuji cameras don’t have so it’s not exactly easy to save money and also get all of the same features. Aside from just buying something older.
the x-s20 felt like a souped up 100v, I love it, need to dive into video. what lenses do you tend to use for hanging out with family?
Generally that 28mm pancake. It gives me that same feel of having a film camera that I don't really have additional lenses for. Getting the shot based on what I have type of thing.
All Fuji film cameras say out of stock I want the X-T30 but I can’t seem to find it anywhere
Yeah that stock has been pretty low recently it seems like. There's a new Fujifilm X Summit happening soon so there might be new cameras and new stock soon.
Thanks for the video. I had a x100s years ago and was thinking about getting the x100vi but the price is concerning me. So I really like your idea of getting the xt30/ii. I have one question: do you think the grip and soft shutter button I still have from the x100s also works on the xt30?
I really liked the idea to change the look a bit
Probably not the grip but I think the shutter button is the same. I'm not 100% sure however.
The thing about X100V is it's compact otherwise I couldn't care less, XT30 even with the pancake lens doesn't fit in a pocket
Yeah it does. The X-T30 is pretty much smaller than the X100 series. You HAVE to have a pancake on it however.
Bought the xt30ii last summer, paired with the 27mm F2.8 pancake lens from Fuji and I really love this compact setup. Been thinking about a second lens and would really like to get some good quality glass without breaking the bank.😅 Any suggestions?
If you're looking for a prime any of the f/2 lenses are great (50,35,23) I love those lenses so much and they're also still pretty low profile.
What do I have in common with nearly every camera? IBS😌
lol. It's the hardest to deal with.
I'm a Sony guy and I want the X100VI, badly
Offering the XT-30 and... whatever it was, just shows you simply don't understand what a leaf shutter with a built-in ND4 filter and a good 35mm lens, all packed in one box, bring to the table. If you did, you wouldn't make this video. Nothing can beat the X100 in its price range. It's a unique tool in the right hands, not just a fancy retro-looking gadget.
Obviously. I do understand that those features are hands down the BEST in class and I wish more Fujifilm cameras had them in them. HOWEVER, not everyone has an X100VI budget so this was to help them get a camera that's close to the same feel at a cheaper price. The cheaper price ='s loosing some of the X100's best features.
@@jbivphotography There is a reason why I said just "X100" and havent mentioned X100VI. Who whould need 40Mp anyway?
7-8 month wait on an x100VI. It’s good, but not that good.
Oh, and sergeyusik9934, don’t be such a dick.
@@sergeyusik9934there is a whole lot of professional photographers who can use 40MP.
It’s almost the same look? It’s a camera not an outfit.
A7c and 28mm f2…. Same price but full frame
Everyone is always so concerned about full frame. I honestly don’t think it’s an advantage.
But cameras without optical viewfinders are not an alternative to a rangefinder camera. That's missing the entire point. TH-cam bros, please stop with these nonsensical clickbait videos.
It’s not clickbait. If you can’t afford an X100VI I’m giving options that will get you close to the same feel. But not exactly the same. Clearly. Sometimes you can’t get all of the features in a camera and that’s ok.
The xt30ii is alright but the xs20 with all due respect it is one of Fuji’s ugliest looking camera, never liked the design 😂
It is kind of ugly. But it's SO capable! It gets the most use out of everything I own.
Fuji cameras aren’t that expensive to begin with 😂
