This is my favorite camera by far! I just love everything about it, specially how the pictures turns out, i take it everywhere!
Same here :)
My favorite 'carry anywhere/grab and go' camera is my Fujifilm X100F. Purchased mine December 2019 after much deliberation as to a new digital camera. Love the built-in film simulations and filters. I have a collection of 35mm film SLR cameras which I enjoy using but the Fujifilm X100F is my 'go to' camera for travel and grabbing quick shots without having to fuss with settings and it excels at that. One of my best camera purchases by far.
Same here man! I love the camera ;)
I bought the X100s early in 2013 when it was first released, my serial number is between 100 & 200. I have carried this camera ever since. It is my most used piece of equipment. It has been all over the world and is a perfect travel camera. The picture quality is outstanding.
So glad to hear that man!
Beautiful shots. The X100F has definitely been one of my favorite camera purchases.
Thanks man! Same here :)
Subscribed at 25s, after “…we only have one life, right?”
Earlier this year I got an X100V, and it has brought so much pleasure to my life for many of the same reasons you gave here.
Great video, great pics! Thank you.
Thanks a lot Greg! Glad to have you as a part of the community :)
Your camera sounds like the person you’d take to the pub, sitting and reminiscing as much as planning the future. An almost ‘perfect’ date.
Just found your channel Jakub,….. My Xmas eve binge watch begins.
Happy holiday to all.
Haha, thanks for the support man! Have a great holidays :)
Great and informative video, congratulations, and thanks for doing it. You've got a very good style for communicating your thoughts and feelings about the equipment.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm glad you liked the video :)
I have the X70 , which once you put it into full manual mode is a stunning camera. I’ve often wondered about going up to the X100. I think the V model and S model look great . Thanks for a great honest real world review that didn’t get bogged down in stats.
Glad you enjoyed it Zork.
The 70 is great. I gave it to a friend instead of selling it because I had such a personal attachment to it. I just realized I wasn't taking photos after I stopped traveling and wanted to see it getting used. The only thing you're really missing out on is a bit of low light advantage.
The camera you're familiar with, is the best for you. I shoot with a rangefinder camera and love the slow process. Nice video; keep on rolling!
Well said man! I agree :) Thanks
I've been in love with this camera for a few years but I couldn't justify the expense to be honest, but a few weeks ago I decided to pull the trigger and buy it and I can definitely say that it was worth every penny!
Can absolutely relate to it man! Glad you are happy with it ✌🏼
usually u cant say this after a few weeks 😇 but yes, after using the X100T since it was released, 30.000 shots later i can say - it’s the best camera for my purpose!!!! love it so much
@@MPNKT I was a fuji user before buying a Sony a7iii so it wasn't completely new to me and I watched like a million videos about the camera before buying it, cause I was fully convinced I wanted it, I just had to convince my wallet hahaha
@@JakubChlouba Wish Icould find one!
I love the love for the X100f. I always read that people use it for fun. Yes, fun it is, but I use it also many years professional next to mine X-T20. It is is my travel setup. The photos I am using for exhibitions and books. For other commercial thing I have 2 Sony cameras. The x100f is a professional camera and it's a lot of fun to use it.
That's great to hear Jaap! I have also used for a few commercial deliverables :)
Nice camera review, shots, production and place! I live in a village near Ericeira and spend a lot of time there with friends and family! Such a nice surprise have this video pop up on my feed!
Hey David, thanks so much man! Ericeira is such a beautiful place, can't wait to be back next year! :)
I find your voice quite soothing. You radiate so much positivity. 😊
Thanks so much, such a nice comment! :)
This camera helps me slow down and focus on the moment. There wasn't a day when I regretted buying the x100f.
Rozhodne souhlasim!
Awesome video man! Picked up This cam after watching your video! I’m a few days in and loving it. It’s nice not lugging around my more expensive equipment 🎉
So glad to hear that bro! Have fun with it✌🏼
Same! I love my x100F. It goes with me everywhere.
Glad to hear that man✌🏼
I shoot Nikon and Sony for 35mm work and PhaseOne's professionally these days. I like them greatly; each is a beast in its own way. However, when I simply want to get back to basics and have fun shooting knowing I will get a great shot with foot-zoom, my X100F never disappoints. This is one camera I love. It gets me back to what triggered my photographic passion long ago - something every photographer should experience - or take the time to remember.
Whether you're a traveller, casual shooter or a street photographer, the X100F just works better. I don't believe it's a great camera for newbies - it makes you think in glorious ways. But, once you understand light better and how to control it, the X100F will take you anywhere you want to go and never get in your way.
So well said man! I can completely telate to that passion feeling✌🏼
Still using my original X100 with full leather case. A true classic. Using it brings people to you. And the lens is truly brilliant.
Love this man!
x100F is one of the best cameras ever built. No wonder that its 2nd prices are increasing! Thanks for the video!
Definitely my favorite camera!
Loved the video bro - also great stills! I was actually looking into getting myself a fuji for the exact same/similar reasons which u perfectly described in the video👌🏼Maybe in a couple months…
Thanks hermano! Yeah it’s definitely a good buy for everyday camera:)
I bought one new in 2017 around the time it was launched, and although I replaced it with a Leica Q1 about a year and a half later, I still keep it in my summer place and use it frequently. It is small, pretty easy to use and a lovely personal camera. It has drawbacks but “better” equivalents like the Leica or the Sony RX1R, whilst providing better image quality and ISO, are much more expensive and not as portable. Most people won’t need more for street and casual photography.
Glad to hear that Irene :)
wow! thank you very very very much. it's exactly a kind of experience am looking for,
Good camera. I sold mine because it had a huge spot of dust on the sensor that ruined many photos. The shutter button also became so sticky that I had to press it three or four times just to take a photo. I never used the optical viewfinder. Also, the "shutter count" actually counts the number of actuations of the digital viewfinder popping up, not shutter actuations. I sold it and replaced it with an xt-10 with a vintage canon rangefinder lens.
I have the X100V. It’s the best camera I’ve owned. Love it, fun to use excellent results
Glad to hear that man! I love my X100F
I’ve had this exact camera for 4 years now, and I agree with everything you said 100%. I recently picked up the X pro-2 because it came with 3 lenses and was dirt cheap. I still like the x100f better.
Nice mate! X-pro2 is definitely more versatile but I love the simplicity of X100f
Fabulous commentary. Thank you for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it
have this cam too. love it.
great video, thx !
Happy you enjoyed it, Bernhard L( thanks for watching
agree, the best walk-around camera out there
Glad we feel the same man!
Portugal baby!! Let's go!
My favourite place hahaha!
Nice job. A great camera and so good for all the aforementioned reasons. Subscribed
Thanks Joe!🙌🏻
Had mine since 2019 and have loved it ever since.
Nice man! I got mine in 2020 and feel the same ✌🏼
My photography ethos is maximally WYSIWYG.
In other words, I hate post-processing. Specifically, I hate the time spent post-processing. I much prefer that ratio of time spent capturing figure prominently in the whole process.
This is why this X100F's film profile presets (Acros, Stelvia, etc) are looking like a winner to me. During my film photography days, Fuji happened to be my go-to colour films with ISO200 being my fave graininess. It's amazing to think I can set the X100F to these settings right off the bat and likely render post-processing an even more distant prospect to live with.
Will be checking out the X100F. I may have to put down my Leica Q2 sooner than I'd ever expected.
Nice man, hope you will be happy with the Fuji if you decide to go for it.
You captured great images with it that is for sure!
Thank you Kris!
Nice, crisp little video. I have an X-S10, which has more functionality. But the X100 seems like a good tool for the informal photography.
Glad you liked it, Peter. Yes X100 is a great everyday companion :)
Masterpiece of Fujifilm. Period.
I agree Chen!
Your videos are very valuable! Thank you so much !!
Glad you found it helpful :)
Skvělé video!
Diky Honzo!
I carry mine around everywhere too! Had it for four years and use it all the time.
Same Ray! I love that camera
Instantly subscribed! Beautiful images
Thanks so much Matheus :)
Totally agree... I recognize you've been to Beliche Beach in Sagres... I took my x100 to portugal too... Best travel camera ever.
Thanks! Yeah, I was there in June :) Portugal is my favorite place!
I love these shots they look so vintage
Thanks man!
Great video man. Very nice images
Thank you man!
Ahoj, skvělý!
I get overwhelmed and tired of all the cookie-cutter gear reviews. This video is a rare exception. I must admit I got caught by your undeniably middle European name, and by the tiny little box in your hands that reminded me of my first camera I got for my 10th birthday many decades ago.
I clicked with some hesitation, but what a surprise! A great review, with no nonsense and void of hyperbole.
Thank you.
Cus, diky! Jsem rad ze se video libilo :) Jojo jmeno rozhodne prozradi :D
5:35 the DK license plate
You're visiting my country, you are always welcome here.
Beautiful photo series in this video.
Thank you Ekka, Portugal is my favorite! :)
It's definitely a "take everywhere" camera if you want quality photos. Just the experience of using it will give you pleasure. It really opens up your creativity.
Can't agree more!
I had the cam and I brought it with me to Lissabon in January 2020. Just before Corona. The design is really great. I liked it a lot. Unfortunately I had no fun using it. It was just difficult for me to really come up with usable images. I think it's best used in cities. I had it also with me in South Africa. Didn’t workout out at all.
Sorry to heat that man. I find it useful almost everywhere I go however it really depends what style of photography you like.
Thanks for sharing the video 👍🏼🙏🏽
My pleasure
Thank you very good Informations in a nice format.
Happy to be able to help Christian. 👍
It´s a beautiful peace and you've taken some cool shots!
Tack my friend:) how are you?
@@JakubChlouba I'm good my friend! :D Missing the warmth tho.. How are you?
@@HugoMattsson also good and also missing the warmth :D Thinking of Indo next year, wanna come? :D
I still love my x100f even after all these years. And I couldn’t agree more with you what you said about it. I made my best photos ever with this camera and grew as a photographer. ❤
Same here man! Thanks for your comment :)
Very informative review. Thanks for sharing your opinion ☺️
Glad you liked it Dariusz, have a good day :)
A beautiful video of my favourite camera that I unfortunately had to sell 😭
Nice to find your channel Jakub, look forward to the future videos!
Shame you had to get rid of it man:( thanks for the support!
@@JakubChlouba sold it for the XT4 which was the right decision unfortunately 🥲
Nicely presented. Thank you for this. 📸👍😁
Glad you liked it David :)
Great photos man! Absolutely beautiful! Did you edit the photos outside of your camera?
Thanks dude! Some photos I did edit and some are straight out of camera.
I loved the original X100, upgraded to the T, killed it, replaced with the F I hot this thing everywhere landscapes, street, documentary, even in door sports., I used the F in a lot of vids on my channel absolutely shameless plug that no one will ever fall for but hey...Anyways A few months ago I packed the F up and sent it to my old dad in England, he's loving it I'm missing it but I'm loving that my old dad making the F crack. Nice video Jakub liked n subbed cheers
Thanks, mate! It must have been difficult to let the F go or at least it would be for me hahaha But I'm sure the joy it brings to your dad makes up for it 10 fold :) Glad to have you part of the community!
@@JakubChlouba yeah it was but the old mans making great used of it and I have a few other cameras to keep me occupied. I reckon the T and the F will be sought after classics in years to come.
Very well done. Very honest and I love that you’ve shown lots and lots of impressions!
Def a new sub!
Thanks so much, Marcus! Glad you liked the video :)
Not the cheep one!... Photos - wonderful! Thank you!
Thank you Vince!
The beautiful intro speech i Loved it. Thank you from Bangladesh.
Thanks for your kind words Shakil, have a great day!
Great video!!
Thanks a lot, Christian!
beautiful images! may I ask what film simulations you used in this video? and you tweaked the colors or just basic adjustments?
Thanks man :) most of the images are with a Kodak Chrome simulation and tweaked settings. Some of the images are also edited in Lightroom with film-like presets.
Proud owner of this exact camera, (also have the 100T) I can't brag enough about it. Fujifilm has really nailed it on the camera designs with its X series. I'm waiting for the X Pro 4 to be my first X Pro./
Nice! I've been also thinking about the X Pro in case I wanna dive deeper into photography ;)
My favorite too
Great camara👍✔ exellent video
Thanks Walker, really appreciate it!🙂✌🏼
Super well crafted video. The color grading was so nice! Do you use any LUTS or have your own?
Thanks a lot Asim, I use a Lut that I modified for my Lumix S1
nice review. because of this i'm thinking of getting one. my speakers on the other hand didn't like the static sfx though hehe.
Hey Jan, it's a great camera for sure! I will remove that static sfx cause you are not the first person mentioning it haha
I've own the x100f for 2 years and i've sold It because of the 35mm was becoming a bit short for me and i decided to bought a xpro2 which Is the greatest camera i've ever had but still today i eventually miss the portability of x100f.
She Is still in my heart
Nice man, I would love to try the xpro 2 some day✌🏼
Excellent video, very enjoyable.
Thanks a lot John.
Nice video. Beautiful shots.
Thanks a lo!
I'm rocking a X-E2, with adapted Pentax-M prime lenses!
Ericeira, Portugal...love it ❤️
Love that place man!
Hey, I have a hard time figuring out the film simulations, to be specific the custom ones. Whenever I create one, it seems to not be “saved” in my camera, any videos/sites you know could help? Thank you 🙏
Hey, it's the last choice in the first menu category :)
Still got the X100, takes pictures and subject to talk about (outdoors).
I am really a zoom guy. I love my Sony RX100 for its versatile 24-200 FF focal length range and small format factor. For example, the extra long range focal length ranger allows you to take architecture details. Yes: It doesn't really have this instantaneous sharing capabilites (I don't care) , and it has no film emulations in the camera (but I can add it on my computer, but requires raw processing). And Sony is much more like a photo taking computer, (like most of Sony), the Fuji probably feels much more like a "real" camera. Decided to go to Sony a couple of years ago, and I'll stay with it. My cam is also taking good imagesm, but the Fuji strikes the emotional chord as well ...
Glad you found what works for you the best man. In the end it's about that ;)
@@JakubChlouba In Retrospect, after switching from MFT I should have looked into Fuji instead of starting with Sony Full Frame and then going to APSC + RX100 ... but you can spend money only once. And all Camera Brands are good these days ...
Very good introduction and very nice images.
Thank you Kai!
What a wonderful love-declaration to this outstanding camera! Although for my semi-professionel landscape- and nature work I prefer my Nikon Z- full frame system with many lenses, I am very tempted to get this X100F for street photography, mountain hikes and for travelling light.
But would the newer X100V not be the better choice, except for the price?
Hi Markus, thanks for your kind feedback. I think X100V has nicer simulations, a bit sharper lens, and autofocus works better. The question is if you value these features to pay the 500ish extra. :)
For street, mountain hikes, and traveling this camera is perfect!
SO CLEAN!! also curious what camera you're actually filming on? and where were the images taken at 3:19?
Hey Danya, thanks for your comment! I filmed the video on Lumix S1 and the photo you liked was taken at Wildsee lake in Switzerland. Beautiful place to visit.
Thanks Jakub! great post. question, do you recommend this camera as well for food pictures post?
Hey Matias, the camera is very versatile and 35mm lens could work well for food but if you wanna do it professionally I would probably get something with an intechangeable lens :)
Beg to differ on your final throw-a-way line - "versions X100 T and S ...have good simulations not as good as the newer cameras and the autofocus is probably not very good"...I have the T model ie the third iteration so enough time to sort out majority of issues. Have some good simulation choices already, but if you want to do just raw files and adjust in Lightroom or other app, less simulations is not even an issue. On autofocus, works fine. Suggest additional camera model refinements are to intice more sales, while even the very first model in the series was good enough to create a whole new genre of cameras (within the price bracket). So S and T probably good options. I have used this camera extensively for travel and street. Great little camera format for reasons you stated and am keeping it. However for general ease of uploading files to phone apps, for portability, being inconspicuous, and for general photo quality, phone cameras are getting harder to ignore.
Thanks for a great correction David, I've never used the T or S so it was only my guess. :)
I'd love to know the film simulation for the two pictures @3:23 and 3:24.
I loved my x100f. But when i was looking for V, i have found discount deal on xPRO3 with the same price. So i bought that. With sigma primes it is overkill 100/s so much. Not so lightweight, but IQ is much better, autofocus super accurate. Amazing. But still in love with 100/series
Nice man! I also wanna try xpro3 one day:)
Very cool video. Which film simulation did you use for the NYC pictures at the beginning? :)))
Hey Martin, I used Kodak chrome but some are edited with Lightroom presets if I remember correctly.
I have an original X100, and I use it more than anything else. I had the X100f, but went back to the X100, which suits me better.
Glad to hear that man! the X100 series is great :)
Ericeira near Lisbon. And a nice camera.
You said that one of the camera's advantage is it's size, you can snap a photo easily and almost in an instant. But at 2:47, you also mentioned that you controlled your shots via manual mode. As a fan of street photography, do you have any advice on how to speed up setting up my camera to capture a moment faster? I'm also new to street photography so I'm very anxious on what people might think, so using manual mode takes a bit of time to do a shot. Thanks! +subbed!
Hey Rey, that's a great question! What I would usually do is close the aperture to somewhere between 4 - 7, depending on the situation, and set a focus to around 1.5 meter. This way everything further from 1.5m will be fairly in focus.
I also set my shutter speed and Iso to the levels of the current environment I'm shooting. Test so I don't have to think about it for a while unless the light changes. Hope this helps :)
Sorry, to interrupt. I have very cost effective and reliefing solution for you, which I also use now after doing street photography daily from 2007 to 2021 will all kinds of cameras. It is called Ricoh GRD III. Not Ricoh GR III, but Ricoh GRD III. It is much smaller than Fuji X100 cameras, it has small senor (with good quality) and f1.9 lens. All you have to do is to set it to one meter snap focus and P for bright light. For low light it just S with 1/200 or shutter speed you like. ISO in Auto. It is so small, not only nobody takes you seriously, but people are offering to pose sometimes :) . Also less expensive and still small is any Olympus M43 camera you could find in E-P... series and Olympus 15mm f8 pancake.
@@kostyafedot551 Great tips mate! I've heard only good things about Ricoh cameras.
You actually can adjust shutter speed and ISO quickly by scroll two mode dials in the front and back.
Ahoj Jakube, skvělé video - barvy z tohodle foťáku vypadají suprově 👌
I have the X-T10, and I keep the 27mm on it or my 23 mm f2 most of the time. Isn't that the same idea, small camera, great lens. Yet, I have the option to change lenses if needed. What advantages is the fixed lens? Other than the built in ND filter. I also have the X-T2, and the X-T4
basically yes, but the xt10's sensor is one generation older. X100F is X-trans III. And the ND filter on the X100s is not that good.
Hey man, I think it really comes down to what you enjoy using! I love the fixed lens cause it allows me to just focus on the photography it self but this could be different for every person :)
Do you have to use the dials? Are there no auto and aporture priority modes?
There are auto shutter modes and I am not sure if Auto aputure mode.
I had V and it was to delicate for me, mainly the shutter button - I made so many unwanted picture - but that just me :-) Otherwise pretty cool. The Wifi transfer is a bit unreliable and breaks the connection. The colours and film simulations really good. :-) Thank you.
I really struggle with the wifi connection on my XT20. Very frustrating as I've so many photos i want to export/edit/post; downloading to desktop to use lightroom instead feels like too much faff sometimes...
Yeah, I know a lot of people put a bigger shutter button on it. I guess I have small fingers and never had an issue with it haha :D
You mentioned a few tweaks to the built in simulations, could we get a video showing that?
Hey Brendan, a good point man! I will make YT short about it.
@@JakubChlouba yes or a video maybe? I hate that you can't scroll through shorts too relisten to certain parts
@@kiIIingxspree It would be a very short one but yeah I could:) you can also search the simulations on TH-cam, there are some really good ones✌🏼
Subscribed! Cant want!
I've used x100s for 9 years, sold it, and I miss it.
But my reason is different than yours. I picked x100s so I don't think about the setting at all. I only worried about aperture and composition.
Good camera and good videos!
Nice man! I like the thinking about the x100s! Thanks for watching✌🏼
Thank you
Thank you for taking time to comment Sameer.
Great video …and I agree. I had X100 which drove me mad …. So very slow to focus …. And poor manuallu the X100F otoh is wonderful. Actually I have sold and managed to get a X100v but its only necessary for me as I love the flippy screen when not using the viewfinder.
Good to hear Tom, yeah both F and V are such a wonderful cameras :)
On a preview icon it gave me impression - "yet, another Robin with his Leicas". :) But I was wrong ! I have deep respect for those who are not jumping on latest releases to make first video about it. While greedy Leica Camera AG has pushed 99% of real photogs away with ridiculous prices and total absence of service even in some G7 countries, FujiFilm X100 series are last remaining compact cameras with OVF...
Thanks for such a nice comment Kostya! Yeah I really think Fuji cameras are some of the best and no need to upgrade to an overpriced Leica.
It’s not what you don’t have, it’s what you do have!
Very true Andre :)
Which camera did you use for filming the video? And thx for that review! ✨
Thank Anto, I used Lumix S1 to film the video.
i have to say.. your photos are the first for me that i like from a fujifilm cam! i so badly want one as my 5d iii is a brick to travel with or just taking out but the colours it produces straight out of the camera have made it hard to leave! I wasn't sure about the fujifilm camera's as all the images i've seen taken with them seem like Instagram pleaser pics and over-filtered / unreal. the fixed lens is kinda a deal breaker for me tho
Thanks Vely, I think Fuji cameras are great and you could always look into XT3/4 if you want interchangeable lenses.
@@JakubChlouba shall look more into them :)
You want to talk about neck pain, try logging around a Mamiya 330 with three lenses, light meter, flash, and 220 film spare rolls.
Haha maybe one day :D
What profile recipe are you using in those photos?
Kodak Chrome
DR 400
Grain - Weak
Highlights -2
Shadows -1
Color +2
The best everyday camera! ;)
Agree man! My favourite :)
Love the video, and love the photos even more! Would you by any chance be willing to share your film preset settings? I especially liked the ones you used for that shot of the beach and cliffs at 0:54, and the shot through the car window at 0:57. Oh, and also the short video at 5:05. Thanks 🙏
Thanks a lot, man! So the photos are actually edited in Lightroom. But if you check my TH-cam Shorts there's a recipe for a preset that I used to shoot the video and some other photos. :)
@@JakubChlouba aah ok thanks!
Awesome photos. Any chance you share you film emulation recipes?
Hey Kevin, send me a message in IG and I will share it with you.
