That was fun. Nice Jacket. Thats about the only thing good about Canadian weather, the jacket looks good against the dead brown nature preserve with bogeys to boot.
Dude walking through your video was funniest thing ever, you’d think he would see the camera on the stand or seeing you seemingly talking to yourself he’d veer away-I know if I saw a weird looking guy talking to himself, I would.😂
Hey man! I get it that the X100VI is not really your thing. But for having a small camera for daily use it's great. You get a tony 2 in al super small lens. And it even has nd-filters in it. And you can screw on adapters to make it wider or more telly. It's not my thing as the lens is not wide enough for me, but I get it that people love it. I agree on the new kitlens: I think it's a shame that they made it slower. Making it wider is cool, but f4.8 means you can't really use it indoors anymore. Then f4 was pushing it, but still usable because of the stabe. At the same time. Other companies also "upgraded" from 5.6 to 6.3. But that does not make it less sad. About the sigma's: They once made the best aps-c lens ever: the 18-35 f1.8.....how cool would it be if they made a 16-33 f1.8 version of that for mirrorless....I would preorder that in a heartbeat!
Dont know why X100V went viral? Coz you are not social media guy. You have your own mind and you know what camera you want, but there are plenty of people who just waiting for others to tell them whats best for them. That is exactly what TikTok did with that Fuji. Smartphones arent cool anymore, anyone can have iPhone so social media need something new.
It was so cringe. All the fuji boys flocking to the midnight release like Karens fist fighting in target over the last pink Starbucks collab Stanley cup, or mothers acting unwise around beanie babies. 😂 People are saying that they ordered 3 minutes after release and got an email saying its back ordered. Trend desperation is so cringe. I might be subconsciously judging anyone I see with a X100 camera now.
Especially annoying to me as the X100V was specifically brilliant for what I shoot, being documentary and wedding photography. Its low profile and silent shutter and consistent look is exactly what I needed, and the flash is great for that 1980s hip-hop fashion look. Got one in the end but my heart sank as soon as TikTok started on it and it began to be viewed as a fashion accessory. Been running with the X100 line since the beginning and I'll be suprised if I ever get the opportunity in the next couple of years to pick up the latest version, as I can see social media going hard on it again.
I bought the x100v right as it was released simply for the fact it was weather sealed. My previous camera I kept the same lens on it- but living in Wyoming- barely shot with it. It was wild checking on the reviews of the x100v, 3 years later, to find it was so sought after. It’s a good camera for sure but you’d never see me paying anywhere close to retail if I had to buy it again. I’d pay $900 for it 🤷🏽♂️.
@@-grey For real. I was serious about switching to Foodge after a decade of dealing with Sony APSC bricks, even bought X-S10 with 16-80, but after diving deeper into that blind sect of Fuji fanboys (mostly Karens that shoot only JPEGs with fancy filters suited for Insta and TT) Im really done. And... yeah.. autofocus...ekhem... Shame that great company with decades-long heritage became camera enthusiast meme and a definition of camera for noobs.
I disagree. We have so many people who were waiting two years for a 100V and now are just happy when we change their order to a 100VI. And many who just want a compact camera with decent quality and realise that the small Sony and Panasonic models are from 2019 while a gazillion mm zoom and a one inch sensor might not be the thing they want to spend over one thousand Euros on. Then they touch an X-T5 an realise how much nicer a Fuji feels. Not the whole world is on tiktok. Edit: I don't think we should feel butt hurt that a nice product turns viral. And Karens still buy small Sonys. Because their photog friend told them so. 😅 Let them.
I agree with your points about the 24-50 lens, except it's actually the same price as the Sony 20-70. Still, I'd take the 20-70 over the 24-50 any day.
28-200 looks incredible for me (it's more compact and lightweight than fuji 18-135 and at the same time it faster in equal f number), if only pany could make high-res and compact body - I might switch to pany camp just for this single lens: it could be lightweight casual travel setup. It even could replace m43 14-140, because with high-res FF sensor there would be option to shoot 300mm in crop mode and still stay relatively compact and lightweight. Just add compact high res body pany
It looks like a good travel lens. I would probably throw a prime in the bag also. But most likely I would go with an MFT camera with the 12-60 F2.8-4 lens. I also wish Panasonic would update their small camera MFT offerings. They have yet to come out with a real compact camera that is new enough to have a USB C port. Maybe this year....
I'm always looking to lighten my full frame kit. If Panasonic released a high-res lightweight body, to go with the 28-200mm and the 14-28mm, I'd switch over to Panasonic. I just wish the 28-200mm started at 24mm. I was on vacation recently with the Tamron 28-200mm and it was shocking the number of times 28mm was just not quite wide enough. And for the 24-50mm I agree; I can't figure out who that's for or who was asking for it. Replaces 24/35/50mm primes I guess.
I'm on lumix and that new lens is tempting me since I run a 24-105 right now. There's also what looks like a 28-70f2 on the roadmap that could be nice though I'm sure it will cost a buttload and be heavy like the Canon.
No release was really fun. It’s just too much expensive stuff with a lot of compromise. I am praying samyang and venus laowa don’t keep making autofocus lenses for mirrorless mounts and just make a sharp 300mm f4 on ef or nikon f to adapt the heck out of it for the next 20 years.
This channel would be so much better if I knew anything about cameras. I just watch for the laughs and you never let me down. Thanks for the great videos. I keep thinking that some of the technical jargon will sink in kind of by osmosis, but so far I am comfortably ignorant and seemingly there will be no end to that. By the way, I just noticed, isn't "seemingly" a weird word? It is like it has two endings slapped on there as if some one just made it up to sound smart.
The only lens I was slightly interested in was Sigma telephoto, just because my Sony 200-600 is too heavy for everyday use and I need a second lens for more comfort. I have Sony 70-350 and Sigma 100-400, they are fine and compact, but don't have enough reach either. But too many compromises: no teleconverter, photos per second limit for premium bodies, bad tripod foot design, not enough reach - for too much money turns me off also. Still waiting for Sony analog of Canon 800 f11 too.
@@adamadamis any of the E-mount lenses can also be used on APS-C bodies, yes. So Sony 200-600 with 1.4 TC on APS-C becomes 1260 mm. But also becomes very dark. It's just - the sensor of the APS-C is not that good, especially when there is a lack of light, which is always the case when you are shooting wildlife with shutter speed of 1/2000 or 1/1250. And any reach is not enough when you are shooting birds you can't get close to without scaring them
@@adamadamis but yeah, usually we shoot with my wife together and are using Sony A7III + Sony 200-600 and Sony a6600 + Sony 70-350. And when the reach is not enough we swap lenses, so APS-C body serves as teleconverter for a bigger lens. It's just - if Sigma 500 is really compact and lightweight we could use it instead of 70-350. If it's cost wasn't 3K $ with all its drawbacks.
@kuros85 I agree. If you want full frame quality, it'll either be big and expensive, or big and slightly less bright. However, I don't think Canon's 800 F11 is worth it. It's ridiculously dark, so of little use practically speaking.
Good point on the x100VI... why isn't that full frame?! Nikon ZF only 400 more. You get the vintage experience but also benefit from it being full frame and has interchangeable lenses.
Why should it be full frame? They make the best Apsc sensors, they ustilize it in the built size of their lenses and if you are not satisfied you can get a medium format for a very competitive price.
I’m guessing you never hiked too far for a wildlife shot. I loved Nikon because I did. The Nikon 500/5.6 PF was a sharp wildlife lens that didn’t hurt your shoulder even with a heavy Nikon DSLR. It was the best reason not to jump ship from Nikon. I jumped to Sony anyway, and I’m jumping on the chance to have that lens again from Sigma.
I love the kit lens that comes with Olympus, well, OM Systems cameras. That 12-40 f/2.8 is really nice. Super sharp. It doesn't have OIS, but with IBIS I find it doesn't really matter. I do wish they'd start to add OIS to more of their lenses though. And Sync IS capability.
Same thoughts the Sigma 500mm is too much $$ and doesn't seem as though it's going to be more compelling than the less expensive options such as 150-600mm Tamron or Sigma. But like you said if the Sigma new release was a small 800mm F8 then that could be interesting if the image quality was also ahead of the other options.
I am someone photographing people. I find the discussion about the look of a camera super dumb… and then there is the reality that this is shitty important in reality. Makes a real difference. Photographing people who are not so used to, best with a smaller beautiful analog looking camera, worst with a big tech looking camera. Photographing “rich” people: get the most expensive and pro looking camera. Makes a difference. These people also might have a Leica, canon r5, just to use it once or never, they get 20k camera gear on holiday just because it is no money for them.
My experience is very different. I have done paid photography work with D850 and X100V, people tend to react to me better when I used D850. Now I am speaking about normal people who take a part in some sort of event. It's really more about how photographer acts.
@@JiiV3e depends a lot who you are photographing. I did a lot of fashion and editorial and now, more portraits of CEOs, magazine stuff … always people with a lot, really a lot of money.
Wow ! I haven't seen a coat like that since a 70s Fingerhut cataloge. Must be a Canadian thing . I agree, lot of lens hitting the market that make no practical sense. Just how many fine numbers of marketing nitchs can you carve out of every focal length. Retro rage and Bokah obsessions.
I am a bit confused why so many people were "who asked for the 24-50" ok maybe nobody asked for it but it makes total sense. They have the large gm series of lenses but they are not really designed for the a7c line which they are currently pushing as hard as possible. Also they have the g line for smaller and more effortable glas for years now like the compact primes. For a small standard zoom I much rather had a 2.8 than more reach. Especially if its more for a "Everyday" photography setup like thw a7c line is aimed at.
You get the same compression with every lens, even your eyes. It's only the crop that changes with different focal lenghts. Blender is great if you want to see this in action, because you can see outside the camera frame. If you change the focal length, it just changes the frame/crop. It doesn't move your 3D models coser or further away from each other, just as you can't move trees with your lens change in the real world. The reason you pick a longer focal length to begin with is so you can better utilize the resolution of your camera. "But! But..", I hear you protest, "an 85mm gives you a more natural flat portrait." Yes, because you moved back. A 35mm will have the same flat, compressed face, from that distance. You just need to crop the image to match the 85mm (and throw away your resolution).
lol the x100 doesn't merely "look" like an old camera- its like a new mustang or any of those retro muscle cars- they look like the old ones but also, you still have to push a clutch in with your left foot and pick a gear. you might ask, we almost have cars that drive themselves why would we still offer manual features? cuz some people still like to drive. they want to feel the power hit the tires when they let go of clutch. the x100 is manual stick shift for people who can't let go of film. you might think that speed dial on top is strange and who would ever use it- film people use it. people who have x100's and don't ever touch the speed dial, now those are idiots and i don't know why they didn't buy anything else.
CP+ was such a dispappointment. Nothing major was announced. Nothing. And all those vloggers are jumping at the only one, Fuji X100 VI which is not that exciting to begin with, like nymphos on death row. Thanks for placing the church back at the center of the village, mate. Seriously. You are the only one. Thanks.
Glad I’m not the only one who can’t see the point of the new Fuji. Can’t change the lens, 40mm is neither wide nor tele, too big to go in your pocket. Better spend the money on an up market phone, which will make calls, do text, show you emails, social media, calendar…… The Sony lens also seems odd, a nice kit lens perhaps for the new 7C bodies as it’s compact compared to the 24-70. The sigma 500 prime is too slow a lens when the 200-600 exists……
The 500 is great telephoto length for birds and so forth and can take a teleconverter. The Nikon 500 PF was and is pretty popular because the size is small for 500mm. Though I decided to forgo the pf personally because I wanted an f4 500 which can take a teleconverter to be a 700 5.6 for birds. Nikon fyi. The sony 24-50 or whatever it is is such a bizarre choice. Not even an internal focusing lens so I see very little appeal.
Just curious, did you make this video recently or was it recorded in the past. I noticed leaves on the trees and would be very impressed if you recorded this last year and had the foresight to guess what would be coming out.
Reason x100v was so popular was that all cameras are more or less as good as each other now technically so style is the only differentiation left. That plus inability of camera makers to make simple compact cameras
X100vi, yes for photography 40 mpx and ibis is a good upgrade. For video not including uhs2 and a front facing screen is a joke. Sigma 15. Nah. Sigma 500, no for people who are not pro a zoom is much more usable for wildlife. However, for Fuji Sigma is the winner. The 18-50 f2.8 beats all the Fuji zooms in price, size, speed, close up and value. Panasonic 28-200 looks like crap vs the much faster Tamron which is the best super zoom.
X100V went viral because people love cameras that eliminate the need to use a filter in post because "color science," even if that camera's focus capabilities are horrendous. And they didn't make it fullframe because they wanted to repurpose the same sensor for the like 4th time and save countless dollars in the process.
Yes, equipment is idling, treading water, shedding features, not climbing mountains-good for you clarifying all this for us!- But prices are still going up. Ridiculous. FYI, in this video, I just wish your walk-through-the-scene-guy would have stopped and watched you for a minute while still in frame. I can only imagine how much fun you would have made of that❗🤣
the only photographer on the planet who doesn't want a Fuji x100VI. true, a camera is not a fashion accessory, just a machine to capture images. the 100 captures great images.
I seriously don't understand Fuji's lens choices. Whoever makes the final decisions on what gets produced is so out of touch with reality and has no common sense.
Need an affiliate link for the Fuji 18-55mm. You convinced me to get a Fuji body and now I want to try this lens. My Fuji prime lenses are some of my favorites.
For those who want x100s, if you are a truly photographer, you will get tired of that 23mm within few days. Get an Xt- 5 or if you want the “classic” look, Xpro will be your best option.
I have an urge to take a screenshot of the video and make it better, when I was there later the guy who had walked through your video had finally found his gimp, unfortunately the police where watching him from the helicopter, If you had only waited you could of got the shot man, vlogers have no patience and they don’t care about the voitglander 50/1.0 and 75/1.5 at CP
What did you shoot this on nice 3d pop (assume a7siii plus zeiss?) only watched a minute of video sorry if you eventually disclose said info… I’m at work will watch all later
all I wanted was a 2x2 GFX100 sensor on an interchangeable lens mount that can fit in my pocket with a 8-way tiltyflippyflappy screen that can cure my depression. IS THAT TOO HARD FUJI?
Accessibility to X100V stock was ruined due to hipster influencers over hypeing it as a fashion accessory. It's a ruddy photography tool. I might replace my X100F if they Fuji can update the X100F mk 7 can preorder coffee before I get to my fave coffee joint in town.
You hinted that 40megapixels on a crop sensor might not be a great idea. I've heard mixed reviews on whether that lense can properly resolve to that resolution. it would be nice to know for sure. but what do i know? i'm a photographer.
I take zero interest in what lens on high mpxl cameras. On my 40 mpxl fuji XH2 i use all sorts even the 18-135. I get great picures i print to 40x30 inches. The world is full of EXPERTS who read a book or 2. They know nowt.
I started working at AVIS back in 2002, gave up aircraft because of upholstery. Everything is upholstery under the hood. But I noticed something about Avis that I tend to see all the time, it was just built yesterday. I remember a couple customers got popped tires on brand spanking new spike strip friends helper handy. Sharp & lethal, friendship yellow. Hello there bro. There's great 13 in head units for 2002 Monte Carlo, it gets roomier as it goes from 2000 to 2006, but who would buy an Alfa Romeo? Is it a 08? It was just built people. Like potatoes or mathematical astutitridentzeme. Dementia is perception of aweneas, who would care, maybe this chair.
5 years since the Fuji V came out and the VI is barely an upgrade. Still crappy auto focus, same lack of weather sealing, bad battery life. So Fuji moved production to China to make a bigger profit. This is not a 2024 camera, as overall, it feels 5 years behind their competition. Nice video, by the way.
So name one camera that is better than x100vi and has the same or smaller size with lens included. I would consider a7cii/r but there isn’t a good 35mm pancake lens.
I am seeing plenty of videos as well around this Fuji X100 VI. why all this hype? Because of its vintage look? Does it take better photos than a Sony A7C full frame? I doubt it, and it's not cheap either! and no interchangeable lens? Certainly not for me
Fujifilm, Samyang, Sigma, or Sony could also release 300mm F4 or 5.6, i can't afford nor do i want 5000-13000 € heavy tele lens. Fujifilm especially, their lens selection is poor, but you still have to pay a lot of money for camera. Pay 4000 for camera and peripherals and then use the 400€ 23mm 2.0 with weird bokeh and perspective compression.

It's just - the sensor of the APS-C is not that good, especially when there is a lack of light, which is always the case when you are shooting wildlife with shutter speed of 1/2000 or 1/1250. And any reach is not enough when you are shooting birds you can't get close to without scaring them
@@adamadamis but yeah, usually we shoot with my wife together and are using Sony A7III + Sony 200-600 and Sony a6600 + Sony 70-350. And when the reach is not enough we swap lenses, so APS-C body serves as teleconverter for a bigger lens.
It's just - if Sigma 500 is really compact and lightweight we could use it instead of 70-350. If it's cost wasn't 3K $ with all its drawbacks.
@kuros85 I agree. If you want full frame quality, it'll either be big and expensive, or big and slightly less bright. However, I don't think Canon's 800 F11 is worth it. It's ridiculously dark, so of little use practically speaking.
Move closer.
Good point on the x100VI... why isn't that full frame?!
Nikon ZF only 400 more. You get the vintage experience but also benefit from it being full frame and has interchangeable lenses.
Why should it be full frame? They make the best Apsc sensors, they ustilize it in the built size of their lenses and if you are not satisfied you can get a medium format for a very competitive price.
The Zf is ~1.5x the size without a lens.
I don't want it to be full frame.
way too big for my needs.
heavier lens.
faster battery drain.
Because full-frame needs a bigger lens. Also who cares, if you don't shoot at crazy high ISO all the time there's no difference.
Fuji doesn’t make any full frame cameras.
I’m guessing you never hiked too far for a wildlife shot. I loved Nikon because I did. The Nikon 500/5.6 PF was a sharp wildlife lens that didn’t hurt your shoulder even with a heavy Nikon DSLR. It was the best reason not to jump ship from Nikon.
I jumped to Sony anyway, and I’m jumping on the chance to have that lens again from Sigma.
I love the kit lens that comes with Olympus, well, OM Systems cameras. That 12-40 f/2.8 is really nice. Super sharp. It doesn't have OIS, but with IBIS I find it doesn't really matter. I do wish they'd start to add OIS to more of their lenses though. And Sync IS capability.
Yup, Olympus 12-40 f/2.8 is one of my favorite lenses. It focuses so close too. 40-150 f/2.8 is an awesome pair for it.
Same thoughts the Sigma 500mm is too much $$ and doesn't seem as though it's going to be more compelling than the less expensive options such as 150-600mm Tamron or Sigma.
But like you said if the Sigma new release was a small 800mm F8 then that could be interesting if the image quality was also ahead of the other options.
I am someone photographing people.
I find the discussion about the look of a camera super dumb… and then there is the reality that this is shitty important in reality. Makes a real difference.
Photographing people who are not so used to, best with a smaller beautiful analog looking camera, worst with a big tech looking camera.
Photographing “rich” people: get the most expensive and pro looking camera. Makes a difference. These people also might have a Leica, canon r5, just to use it once or never, they get 20k camera gear on holiday just because it is no money for them.
My experience is very different. I have done paid photography work with D850 and X100V, people tend to react to me better when I used D850. Now I am speaking about normal people who take a part in some sort of event. It's really more about how photographer acts.
@@JiiV3e depends a lot who you are photographing. I did a lot of fashion and editorial and now, more portraits of CEOs, magazine stuff … always people with a lot, really a lot of money.
Wow ! I haven't seen a coat like that since a 70s Fingerhut cataloge. Must be a Canadian thing . I agree, lot of lens hitting the market that make no practical sense. Just how many fine numbers of marketing nitchs can you carve out of every focal length. Retro rage and Bokah obsessions.
I am a bit confused why so many people were "who asked for the 24-50" ok maybe nobody asked for it but it makes total sense. They have the large gm series of lenses but they are not really designed for the a7c line which they are currently pushing as hard as possible. Also they have the g line for smaller and more effortable glas for years now like the compact primes. For a small standard zoom I much rather had a 2.8 than more reach. Especially if its more for a "Everyday" photography setup like thw a7c line is aimed at.
Can you do a video on 3d pop? Like what are the best lenses with examples?
I've done several.
WHAT lens did you used it looks so sweet 🥲
I don't know what it was, but holy hell did it make a nice image!
You get the same compression with every lens, even your eyes. It's only the crop that changes with different focal lenghts. Blender is great if you want to see this in action, because you can see outside the camera frame. If you change the focal length, it just changes the frame/crop. It doesn't move your 3D models coser or further away from each other, just as you can't move trees with your lens change in the real world. The reason you pick a longer focal length to begin with is so you can better utilize the resolution of your camera. "But! But..", I hear you protest, "an 85mm gives you a more natural flat portrait." Yes, because you moved back. A 35mm will have the same flat, compressed face, from that distance. You just need to crop the image to match the 85mm (and throw away your resolution).
lol the x100 doesn't merely "look" like an old camera- its like a new mustang or any of those retro muscle cars- they look like the old ones but also, you still have to push a clutch in with your left foot and pick a gear. you might ask, we almost have cars that drive themselves why would we still offer manual features? cuz some people still like to drive. they want to feel the power hit the tires when they let go of clutch. the x100 is manual stick shift for people who can't let go of film. you might think that speed dial on top is strange and who would ever use it- film people use it. people who have x100's and don't ever touch the speed dial, now those are idiots and i don't know why they didn't buy anything else.
CP+ was such a dispappointment. Nothing major was announced. Nothing. And all those vloggers are jumping at the only one, Fuji X100 VI which is not that exciting to begin with, like nymphos on death row. Thanks for placing the church back at the center of the village, mate. Seriously. You are the only one. Thanks.
Great video. Ive never laughed so hard during a review. The jacket is a paid actor.
Glad I’m not the only one who can’t see the point of the new Fuji. Can’t change the lens, 40mm is neither wide nor tele, too big to go in your pocket. Better spend the money on an up market phone, which will make calls, do text, show you emails, social media, calendar…… The Sony lens also seems odd, a nice kit lens perhaps for the new 7C bodies as it’s compact compared to the 24-70. The sigma 500 prime is too slow a lens when the 200-600 exists……
The 500 is great telephoto length for birds and so forth and can take a teleconverter. The Nikon 500 PF was and is pretty popular because the size is small for 500mm. Though I decided to forgo the pf personally because I wanted an f4 500 which can take a teleconverter to be a 700 5.6 for birds. Nikon fyi. The sony 24-50 or whatever it is is such a bizarre choice. Not even an internal focusing lens so I see very little appeal.
For a second, I thought the guy who walked through your frame was Jordan Drake. You’ve been PetaBombed…
Japanese Elves 😂😂😂
At 7:32 😂😂😂😂😂 Im Dead..😂
Just curious, did you make this video recently or was it recorded in the past. I noticed leaves on the trees and would be very impressed if you recorded this last year and had the foresight to guess what would be coming out.
Pine trees don’t have leaves
Needle not leaf on tree, but none of it is real
@@davemenard5089 it is All TONEH…..just as birds are fake,there are no birds…..none.
@@chipsrafferty8362 Dang it, I should have caught that. I was watching it on my phone screen.
@@johnfirewire that’s okay,we all make misteaks.
bro your drip is top notch!!
There is some photography freak show behind you at 4:57 😅😅😅😅🤣🤣😂😂
Reason x100v was so popular was that all cameras are more or less as good as each other now technically so style is the only differentiation left. That plus inability of camera makers to make simple compact cameras
X100vi, yes for photography 40 mpx and ibis is a good upgrade. For video not including uhs2 and a front facing screen is a joke.
Sigma 15. Nah. Sigma 500, no for people who are not pro a zoom is much more usable for wildlife.
However, for Fuji Sigma is the winner. The 18-50 f2.8 beats all the Fuji zooms in price, size, speed, close up and value.
Panasonic 28-200 looks like crap vs the much faster Tamron which is the best super zoom.
YOU ARE THE real one. Wish I payed enough attention to know your PO box so I could send you a CAKE
X100V went viral because people love cameras that eliminate the need to use a filter in post because "color science," even if that camera's focus capabilities are horrendous. And they didn't make it fullframe because they wanted to repurpose the same sensor for the like 4th time and save countless dollars in the process.
Fuji became as popular as they are because there small, efficient and NOT full frame.
@@perigee1275x100v is larger than a sony full frame.
Yes, equipment is idling, treading water, shedding features, not climbing mountains-good for you clarifying all this for us!- But prices are still going up. Ridiculous. FYI, in this video, I just wish your walk-through-the-scene-guy would have stopped and watched you for a minute while still in frame. I can only imagine how much fun you would have made of that❗🤣
the only photographer on the planet who doesn't want a Fuji x100VI. true, a camera is not a fashion accessory, just a machine to capture images. the 100 captures great images.
I seriously don't understand Fuji's lens choices. Whoever makes the final decisions on what gets produced is so out of touch with reality and has no common sense.
I agree, dreadful set of releases. Looked at the 24-50mm f2.8 and ordered the 20-70mm f4 same day
this was recorded on BMPCC OG?
Yes.
@@cameraconspiraciesyep, oldie but goldie. nothing beats that old filmic look.
I really appreciate your content my friend 😊 forealzees
Need an affiliate link for the Fuji 18-55mm. You convinced me to get a Fuji body and now I want to try this lens. My Fuji prime lenses are some of my favorites.

@@cameraconspiracies thank you!
the "Vlogging hobos" comment had me LMAO. 2:39
That og looks so good. What's the secret lens? Voigtlander 65?
Loving the jacket
No idea what that Sony 24-50 is about? Or who it is supposed to be for?
Its for people who bought the ZV-E1 and complaining the lenses are too heavy for their soyboy arms
I'm going to sell t-shirts to mad people that say "It's OK - I'm A TH-camr"...
I want the Sigma Fisheye. Perfect for landscape astro and bicep curls. I'm just choking on the price.
For those who want x100s, if you are a truly photographer, you will get tired of that 23mm within few days. Get an Xt- 5 or if you want the “classic” look, Xpro will be your best option.
I have an urge to take a screenshot of the video and make it better, when I was there later the guy who had walked through your video had finally found his gimp, unfortunately the police where watching him from the helicopter,
If you had only waited you could of got the shot man, vlogers have no patience and they don’t care about the voitglander 50/1.0 and 75/1.5 at CP
I love Cp. 😂
R5II waiting for us around the corner.
What did you shoot this on nice 3d pop (assume a7siii plus zeiss?) only watched a minute of video sorry if you eventually disclose said info… I’m at work will watch all later
BMPCC OG with the secret lens I just bought.
to be fair the fuji kit lens is kind of ass on the long end, but it's weird that they'd make it way slower AND get rid of stabe. that's just crazy
all I wanted was a 2x2 GFX100 sensor on an interchangeable lens mount that can fit in my pocket with a 8-way tiltyflippyflappy screen that can cure my depression. IS THAT TOO HARD FUJI?
I will attempt to vlog on the X100VI in your honor if I ever receive mine 😂 probably going to have to extend it out a little…
you are viewing these items from an extremely narrow perspective
Japanese elves are now Thailand elves. Smaller hands
I've seen video from that x100vi and its terrible. Why not get the xh2?
I watched some random videos where people are talking what a nice accessory their camera is. It's hilarious.
I kept my fuji x100s, but honestly it is an underwhelming product line. i would rather go back to the canon s95, than get the VI.
Accessibility to X100V stock was ruined due to hipster influencers over hypeing it as a fashion accessory. It's a ruddy photography tool. I might replace my X100F if they Fuji can update the X100F mk 7 can preorder coffee before I get to my fave coffee joint in town.
That's true, fuji makes great marketing, they sell you not a camera, but fashion and look.
and also the chip shortage during lockdown wasnt helping either lol
@@sauzefilms the V was also assembled in Japan. The VI is being manufactured in China, bigger capacity (15k units a month apparently).
I will never know what you focused on in this episode... 🤔
not interested in the voigtlander 50mm f1?
That jacket is stylish
You hinted that 40megapixels on a crop sensor might not be a great idea. I've heard mixed reviews on whether that lense can properly resolve to that resolution. it would be nice to know for sure. but what do i know? i'm a photographer.
I take zero interest in what lens on high mpxl cameras. On my 40 mpxl fuji XH2 i use all sorts even the 18-135. I get great picures i print to 40x30 inches. The world is full of EXPERTS who read a book or 2. They know nowt.
I started working at AVIS back in 2002, gave up aircraft because of upholstery. Everything is upholstery under the hood. But I noticed something about Avis that I tend to see all the time, it was just built yesterday. I remember a couple customers got popped tires on brand spanking new spike strip friends helper handy. Sharp & lethal, friendship yellow. Hello there bro. There's great 13 in head units for 2002 Monte Carlo, it gets roomier as it goes from 2000 to 2006, but who would buy an Alfa Romeo? Is it a 08? It was just built people. Like potatoes or mathematical astutitridentzeme. Dementia is perception of aweneas, who would care, maybe this chair.
ya I don't understand the appeal of the Fuji......the only interesting thing is the internal NDs which no one is talking about weirdly.
5 years since the Fuji V came out and the VI is barely an upgrade. Still crappy auto focus, same lack of weather sealing, bad battery life. So Fuji moved production to China to make a bigger profit. This is not a 2024 camera, as overall, it feels 5 years behind their competition. Nice video, by the way.
So name one camera that is better than x100vi and has the same or smaller size with lens included. I would consider a7cii/r but there isn’t a good 35mm pancake lens.
I am seeing plenty of videos as well around this Fuji X100 VI. why all this hype? Because of its vintage look? Does it take better photos than a Sony A7C full frame? I doubt it, and it's not cheap either! and no interchangeable lens? Certainly not for me
When you vlog with your 800mm, the people are going to walk through your shot.
Yeah… won’t be rushing to buy that new Fuji kit lens
Everyone is hyping up new cameras and meanwhile in sitting here "Large frame camera. That's what I want"
24-50 is all I need, I rarely go longer than 50.
Generally there is a huge lack of Tonehhhh in this announcements!
Watch out Voigtländer Tonehhhh!
4:57 WTF you become Toneh Northrup bro, close that aperture right now for the love of god
Fujifilm, Samyang, Sigma, or Sony could also release 300mm F4 or 5.6, i can't afford nor do i want 5000-13000 € heavy tele lens. Fujifilm especially, their lens selection is poor, but you still have to pay a lot of money for camera. Pay 4000 for camera and peripherals and then use the 400€ 23mm 2.0 with weird bokeh and perspective compression.
My opinion...
You are the most watchable handsome fellow..

It’s nice to see your mom let you out for some sunshine.
Nice image...the string waving on your hood waving was distracting 😉
When does a hood wave?
if Fuji had carried on with the X10-30 line I would still be there, but 23mm fixed lens 35mm equiv? nah.
X-T40 will probably be realese this year.
I’m kinda glad. This quells my GAS for the time being. I don’t want any gimmick lenses
