The iso performance is the biggest thing for me. The gr’s have always been a few generations behind in that sense. They’d have to make the camera bigger if they wanted to add the flash back. They removed it because the ibis took up that space. I’d rather them not waste space for a viewfinder, the hotshoe finders work great. My main things are iso, the original positive film, and also just more and better options and controls for the filters. I’d love to see them try to embrace the film recipe situation and give us more of that. The autofocus can be kinda butts, but I expect that to be a little better.

@@KN1F3_GODThat sounds like a "dead Pixel". I had a blue line appearing at a high iso in scenes like the one you describe. Basically, a Pixel gives of a faulty signal that then affect the rest of the pixels in that line. If it is a "dead Pixel", it can usually be fixed with remapping. In more modern cameras there is often a build in programme to do that in camera. With the M10, for me, I just made contact with Leica customer support. They asked me to send a raw-file where the line was showing. The next day I received a file to install on the camera. All free of charge and I never saw the line again after that. Could be worth to try :)

I watched your review a little over a year ago before I started travelling and was on the search for a camera I could easily pack in a bag, have the quality to print, and not have to decide between lenses everywhere I go. I was hesitant about settling on 28mm but as I do almost all landscape shots. Everything seemed right so I bought it. I've taken about 20,000+ shots with it to this day and I have no regrets. I love not deciding between lenses. I love the formfactor. I love the quality of images. I love the tactile feeling of using it. I don't even use the screen 90% of the time unless I'm fiddling around to get the ISO right. This camera has fit every need I had. I've shot 26 countries from the top of mount Fuji to the Norwegian fjords and not once did i think "i wish i had my EOS R and 5 lenses with me." The only niche gripe I've had is how the camera doesn't do well at night particularly with slow shutter photos. To this day I've been unable to turn off the auto denoise feature after a slow shutter image, and it often results in gross color banding/blending. But that's not what I bought the camera for, just a limitation I've come to ignore. if I'm determined to get the shot I will just shoot in black and white, or just fix it in photoshop. The camera has been great and I thank you for your videos about it.

It’s great to see you back at posting content. Keep up the good work!! Cheers!
I would love to at least add an M10 eventually but that's on a long wish list haha the Leica Q2 will always stay in my rotation for sure. Thank you so much for watching!
@@luischavezphotoyup leica Q2 is nice to have leica than nothing, leica M series are expensive 😅
sheeeeeshhhh! back to back uploads! a great week to be a Luis fan!
Appreciate you man!
Thanks Very few mention about the learning curve
I don't get why people think it's a minor upgrade? New sensor going from 26-40 mp. IBIS which works in video. Open gate 6k recording. These are great significant upgrades.
I think photographers had really high expectations on what they specifically wanted this camera to be. I’m overall happy with the improvements they made but I understand the frustration.
We see all the cool reviews. We now know for sure it is a great camera :) Same for the X100V, but neither of these cameras are available. How can a brand like Fujifilm not produce these? And if they do it on purpose, I am sure they are losing some customers.
I have no idea what that looks like on the production side but stocking is def an issue
Hi, which thumb grip do you use and is it a good fit for the x100VI? I’ve seen some but they’re for the V and don’t fit great for the VI.
I use the Haoge THB-X2S Metal Hot Shoe Thumb Up Rest Hand Grip. I just added links to the description as well. Thanks for watching!
Eyyyy I made it on a Luis Chavez video! That hybrid viewfinder is badass.
It was a lot of fun to tag along to your shoot man!
Sadly the autofocus is so bad that it becomes unreliable to use fujfilm cameras
I have to admit, it’s not amazing but definitely enough to keep up with my son which is mainly what I’m using it for.
@@luischavezphoto does it keep up if he is running towards you and you just pick up the camera and shoot? without preparing the shot way before for me it doesn't specially indoors all my picture come blurry
@mdenjoyer831 yeah I just turn on focus tracking which I programmed to one of the buttons.
less reliable compared to other systems specially sony but i found if you use zone autofocus it's a bit quicker.
Great video, dude!
Thanks Jason!
If you have the itch for an x100VI for photos, consider the X-E2 with a Voigtländer 27 mm Ultron. You will save a lot of money and probably have more fun.
I have x-h1…should I go for xe-2 instead vi
It depends on (1) How big you want to print and (2) if the X-E2 covers your bases in the film simulation category. I feel zero need to have a 100VI. I do, however, want the Voigtlander 18 mm color Skopar as well now. There's something the 100VI cannot do...
@@lwwells my x-h1 is great but really big and heavy
@@inquisitvem6723 get an X-E2. It’s a small hit on resolution but there’s a chance you’ll actually like the colors more than your X-H1.
Pizza Planet sling bag > X100VI
The playground is elite!
The only place I’m filming my talking heads 🤝🏽
Hahahhahahaa you did what I did, have q2 and still buys x100vi…congrats!
I still love my Q2 but this is my family everyday camera haha the Leica still comes with me on solo outings or on date nights with my wife!
