I occasionally use the OVF in the following way. I set my exposure using the EVF and then quickly switch to the OVF to choose the right moment as someone enters the scene. I don't use it often but find it useful when I do.

I use the OVF because it helps me with my composition and I also shoot my camera like a 35mm slr. Yes. I'm old.

Just so you know. All large format lenses use leaf shutters and also the Hasselblad lenses are leaf shutters as well. I use the OVF all the time esp at night when using flash. I prefer it.

Let me say that this is NOT a camera for people making photos 3 times a year on vacations or some travel.

I agree. I'll pick it up after working with my work camera for a while and it takes me a bit to get back into it

Love your work and have learned a great deal from your experience, however ... now you need to rediscover the joy and experience of photography before the digital age .... through the OVF. It's another joyous feature of the X100 that gives you that feeling of not knowing exactly what you are going to get until later ... when you got the film back from the developer. Yes you can set everything via the EVF and get the result you want. But what if you try to challenge yourself and trust the OVF and your skills to get the result. No chimping. It's such a satisfying way to shoot. It's not better, it's not worse, just a wonderful, different experience and challenge. I actually shouted at the TV - when you aired your comments about the OVF and no-one using it! 🤣 But then you went on to my actual point. 😊 Try it! You will rediscover a whole new world of photographic joy. I await your video and your thoughts... The downside is not huge, the resulting pleasure is. The X100 rocks purely because of that imho

I also prefer the EVF over the OVF ...but you didn't mention combo mode (no, I haven't tried it). You are right about the digital zoom...x100v is my ONLY camera with that left on. Simulations...so cool...one of my 2 favorite bracketing modes is simulation bracketing, which I keep changing the 3 selections (one is always Velvia for landscape etc, but vary the other 2). My other favorite bracketing is HDR+ where Fuji brackets the exposures then combines them in camera for the final photo.

I’m still a film guy but the X100 brought me into digital because it worked like film cameras. So many bells and whistles with digital cameras already! Just let me set the aperture and shutter speed (though being able to change the ISO mid roll is nice.)

IM SO DEAD THE CULT😂😂☠️☠️☠️glad I made it

That's a great helpful description, thanks! Am I right in thinking this would be a great camera for shooting people and products too? I am looking for an entry-level, good enough camera to shoot good-quality photos of models and clothing for my Instagram and online shop. I evaluating if buying an iPhone 14pro (that would be good also for social media posting) or this camera, that looks stunning, what would you suggest?

I've had the X100V for a couple of months now and I'm really enjoying it! At first I only shot JPG's but lately I've switched to JPG and RAW. The only photo editing tool that I've used is the Apple Photos App. What do you think of Capture One Express for Fujifilm? I'd like to start out with a free editing tool so would this be a good choice for the Fuji RAW files? Thanks for an excellent video! PS: I still think taking an iPhone snap now and again on a Fuji shoot is a handy way to Geo-locate the photos that aren't GPS tagged in the Fuji camera!

Amazing video! Please don’t overlook the OVF though. I’ve literally just shot a photo of my father and my niece that I wouldn’t have gotten had I not been using the ovf and a Godox Lux Senior. The light was really poor and the evf was useless! But with the OVF I caught a moment in time that my parents will treasure forever. And, just while I’m here, my car has auto and manual transmission I think you call it, we call it a gearbox in the UK, but I never fully trust the auto. I can shift better than my car can 👍🏻. Thanks for the video though Booray!

I enjoy the leaf shutter and the fast flash sync, but I'm unclear what you mean at 15:17 when you say it can be used to "...to get that light to come down". Can you clarify? How does the leaf shutter reduce the amount of light hitting the sensor?

An advantage of the OVF that you failed to mention is that the battery drain is much less than the EVF. Also, as long as it is bright outside it will likely be fine. A disadvantage is that in low light situations like indoors or at night, the view will be dark regardless of open aperture, low shutter speed, high ISO settings that in EVF mode will show up as bright and beautiful.

And the 100V is a true *hog* 🐖. I own several W126 from my other FF cameras; whenever I load one of those, the bloody Miss Piggy protests, *"Use a W126S"* I'll be hungry! PS, real men don't use AF. Heck RM don't use AE either! RM shoot film Leicas and Nikons (FM2n pleeese!). RM do their C41 --if they're not macho enough to shoot 400TX! OK, guess the 100V is the best for (us) boomers, millennials and genexers, (unless you're a reeel macho and use a view camera, know many). 🤣

I do use the OVF sometimes to conserve battery. I tend to screen over EVF for the same reason. It seems counter-intuitive, but the screen consumes draws less from the battery than the EVF on mirrorless cameras. The EVF is higher resolution in most cases. That means it needs more RAM and their’s more to compute. The big disadvantage for mirrorless vs. DSLR is battery life. I have both a Canon R5 (mirrorless) and a Canon 5D Mk IV (DSLR). The specs for the R5 are approx. 650 shots per battery. I can tell you from experience, I average more like 500 shots. And I have every power saving feature applied. I guess to get to 650, you never review a shot. My 5D Mk IV is rated at 950 shots. In my experience, that’s an underestimate. When I use the EVF on the R5, while it’s a great visual experience, my battery drains significantly faster. I carry two spare batteries. But when I need to really conserve as much power as possible, then I’ll use the OVF.

Hi Kiddo! 😉 Great clip, you must have been a great teacher in a previous life; I was absort from minute 1 to the very end, and will try to buy something from your links in thanks... I got my first camera (a Kodak Six-20 at age 12 in 1959) and shot my first *serious* camera at age 20 in 1967, a Leica IIIf with a collapsible Elmar 5cm that my father had replaced with a Canonet QL19 (to save you the aritmethic trouble I just turned 76 less than 2 months ago). You may guess I hated the IIIf the moment my father placed it in my hands and started explaining how to use it for a summer European excursion, and to this day I wonder why couldn't he give me an Instamatic 126 like the rest of the travelers were using? The only way one can sing praises to that camera is when the alternative is a Retina IIc. 😭 You might perfectly guess the Ektachrome 160 garbage I returned with after six weeks. Heck! He even chided me for the results!! The following year I saved enough for a Pentax Spotmatic with a 50/1.4 Super-Takumar. Curiously enough, after my father died I got a different IIIf (the one my father had was dropped into a Swiss lake some years after). Then I could appreciate the Leica mistique; but not the Barnacks. Istill shoot film with a Leica M or a Nikon FM2. I'm far from a beginner to the X mount or even the X100, having got me a T to mimmick what I couldn't afford: a digital M. Now the camera I keep at the _foyer,_ hanging from the coat stand is the X100V in a tiny bag that holds a WCL two extra batteries and a compact charger.

Both are good cameras, but maybe start with what are you wanting to do with it? If you want something easy to bring everywhere to "document your life" with friends, family, trips, etc, the X100V might be the better choice. If you want something to use with various lenses like macro, wide angle, telephoto, or zoom lenses to try a mix of sports, wildlife, landscape, portrait, macro shots, then the XT5 with a couple lenses might be better...just know more planning goes into deciding which lenses to bring. 😉 Whichever system you get, they are both fun cameras to use.

Greetings, I'm a bit surprised that someone who states they are a "Professional Photographer" seems to think that Fuji x100 series cameras are the ONLY Cameras that have a Leaf Shutter. Most older film cameras like my Zeiss Ikonta 6x9 circa 1939 are Leaf shutters just like my Zenza Bronica EC 6x6. And I thought EVERYONE knew that Hasselblad Cameras were Leaf Shutter cameras not to mention large format cameras like the ones Ansel Adams used! (facepalm) Now you might be correct in saying that the Fuji x100 series cameras are the only modern digital rangefinder cameras with a leaf shutter, but that would need to be verified. The biggest problem is with this "Wonder" camera is good luck finding one unless you are prepared to fork out the equivalent of a mirrorless pro camera body or higher. $1,500 +/- for the manufacturer's list is even a bit of a stretch, but $2k - $3k + for a fixed lens rangefinder... Ummm No!
