Hey man, nice video. I can't tell you how many Fujifilm and Ricoh videos I've seen in the past few months, but this one really stuck out. It skipped all the buzz words and just talked about things that really resonated. Honestly, great work. I love how you tell a story. Keep it up.

Hey man! thanks a lot for sharing your experience, honestly you have helped me a lot to decide between the Ricoh GR III X and the Fuji X100V, both are very good cameras of course, but the way you have explained and transmitted your feeling taking pictures with the Fuji, you have transmitted me the feeling that it really is THE camera to carry with you day after day, it is something I was looking for.

i was going to get a 100v but ended up with an XPro 3. I decided on the XPro as I felt the 23mm(35mmFF) was far to restricting on my style. None the less, the 100v is a great little camera and if I could get one , I probably would as a second camera.

I got mine brand new about a week and a half ago from a local private seller I traded something for it with cash on top but all in all I still got it under retail. I absolutely love it and take it with me everywhere I go. I’ve compared photos side by side with my G85 and the x100v easily takes the crown

Thanks! I’m using a Sony A7C with a Tamron 28-75mm. It’s been the absolute PERFECT combo for me.

I love the X100V, but due to the pancake lens, I did feel frustrated when using the aperture ring or manual focus ring. I ended up mapping the aperture to one of the dials (as well as SS) and always use AF, but that negates the analogue feel of the camera.

@fohrm

Жыл бұрын

Yeah I can totally understand that! Manual focus ring isn't the greatest TBH.

I’ve owned the X100V since it launched, right before the pandemic started. I fell in love with it instantly as the design was just beautiful especially in the silver and black finish but, I went with the all black for street photography. I sold my old X-T1 and lenses to get it so it was a bit of a change moving from working with a 50mm to the 35mm, but it just worked. I have to say, out of the four cameras I have (Sony @7 3, GRIIIX, iPhone 13 Pro and the X100V, the X100V takes the best images even better than the Sony full framed camera… seriously! I almost sold it to buy the model above my Sony but couldn’t do it so I bought the one I now own, I just love to use it that much but: it might get sold along with all my other camera gear to buy the Leica Q3 but it is something I will think hard and long about before deciding, it’s that good a camera.

@fohrm

Жыл бұрын

Yeah I think from what I've seen, the Leica Q2/Q3 would be the only reason I would consider selling the x100v. But the Q series has such a massive lens that the portability factor would be a tough sell for me. Because that's been so nice to just have that little fixed pancake lens on the x100v that delivers such incredible photos!

If it were me, I would probably look find a x100, x100s, or x100f second hand and use that camera as a starting point of learning more about composition, lighting, and street photography. That way you don't break the bank and can focus more on learning and upgrade over time when it makes sense. I personally wouldn't dive right in to the x100v.

Wait for the x100-6, id expect a sensor upgrade, ibis and refined autofocus capabilities with the newer processor. No point spending 2000eur on a camera that is outdated already. The latest fuji soft update has just shown that all cameras based on 4th gen processor are done with significant updates. And the x100v could use an update on the accuracy and speed of focusing. No hate, love fuji, just my 5cents after going so deep into the rabbit hole and coming out from the other side. Either wait for the next iteration or get the xt5. Cheers

This is good advice! For me, the x100v is the perfect camera not because of the fact that it's the "newest" or has the most incredible features or anything. Just because it works for me! If I couldn't find a x100v, I would have probably went with an x100f. I just really love this system.

I like mine, but I find focussing a real pain. Also, I'm not too fond of the viewfinder on the edge of the camera. It's awkward to use. I prefer shooting with my Ricoh GR3.
