You're probably the nicest youtuber I've ever seen in my entire life. Your video are long but detailed and really easy to understand, especially for people whom mother tounge isn't English. Plus, you reply ALL the comments, not many comments, ALL of them, which is really nice and caring of you. I wish you the best and a wonderful day.
So pleased to read your kind words. Sorry they're so long. My mother tongue isn't English either - which probably accounts for the pronunciation. I worked in TV production my whole life and really never knew my viewers or what they liked or didn't. This ability, to actually interact with my viewers is such a pleasure.
@@MaartenHeilbron Your videos are long, but they are good kind of long because they are VERY well demonstrated and very interesting to me, every details are included but they are not boring at all.
Thank you Maarten for this detailed comparison. I’m sure I speak for many Fuji fans when I say that we really do appreciate the effort you put into these videos - which is surely immense! I love my X-T100 and from this review I will be content to continue using it for another year at least, and then I can get a used X-T200 for a price I can afford!
Fantastic comparison. Great content as always. I am proud owner of XT 100 which I got after the release of XT 200. I shoot exclusively stills and I like the screen rotation on XT 100 compared with XT200 where I need need to completely open the frame. So after careful comparison my chose was XT 100. But XT200 is a fantastic camera and massive Improvement over video bit. Also I love the 4k multi focus T100 which should have been added in 200. One less work of stitching. Haha.. Also you may need to mention about the price variation 🙂🙂 I do enjoy all your contents and thanks for all the questions you answered when I was researching on XT100. Keep up the good work mate🙂
Maarten, thank you for this very detailed and extremely helpful review. As always you are thorough and cover everything a user might need. I have been looking for a good vlogging camera, trying to decide between this and the RX100 vii. Your information, above everyone else on UA-cam, has helped me decide. Your videos are always extremely thoughtful, logical and very well presented from both a technical perspective and from a presentational view point. Warmest regards from the UK, I wish you every success, you certainly deserve it. You serve your audience that which they want and need.
Amazing stuff yet again. In depth without bogging the viewer down with unnecessary / unimportant details (great filtering). This highlights a fairly substantial change between the 100 and 200, certainly more than was expected!
Sir I have X-T 200 ....and I make short movies that means I have to record the sound live and for that purpose which external mike you recommend me to buy ?
@@MaartenHeilbron only one....which we attached to to the top of the camer.....directional ..mike for recording human voices \ conversation \ dialogues ...
Hi Maarten! I'm a big fan! You're one of the only persons I can think of who might be able to answer these questions (particularly because you've got hands on experience with these camera while connected to an external video recorder via HDMI): A) Is there a way to get "clean" HD video out of the X-T100 via HDMI without recording footage to the internal SD card? I bought the X-T100 as a B-camera for live streaming video on an overhead camera rig (hence I need the articulating screen to enable me to adjust settings on a camera mounted above my head!), but I can't seem to be able to get "clean" HD footage out of the camera unless I'm simultaneously recording to the SD Card. The problem with this is that after 30 minutes the recording stops and the camera exits "movie mode" and returns to the default "photo mode" which mirrors the screen and all of its display info. Unfortunately it seems that the only way I can get more than 30 minutes of continuous video out of the camera is setting the "movie mode" to 4K 15fps and outputting the footage via HDMI. But as you know, 15 frames per second is essentially unusable! B) If I can't get "clean" HD out of the X-T100, can I make this happen with the X-T200? I see that the X-T200 has a dedicated "Movie" Drive Mode, which I'm hoping would allow me to shoot in "stand by" mode, like I do with my X-T20 and X-T3. I'd really appreciate any info you can share on this subject! At the moment I'm thinking of returning the X-T100 and getting an X-T200 instead. Thank you!
I no longer have these cameras and I don't really remember those details. You sound as if you are well-versed in the art, so if you've turned of the HDMI Output Info Display, I have no further suggestions. I've forwarded your question to my Fujifilm contact and will update if I receive a reply.
I have a reply from my Fujifilm contact: "Your findings are correct with the X-T100 as it doesn't have a dedicated Movie mode, the clean output only appears when you tell the camera to record. Setting it to Full HD will have the faster frame rate but that is still not the solution you want. The X-T200 does have a dedicated Movie mode and the output via HDMI is clean. I have tested this again this morning using my capture card and it works perfectly. X-T200 does offer up to 30fps in 4K. " Hope this helps.
Wow! Amazing! Thank you for the quick response Maarten! I also really appreciate you reaching out to your Fuji contact for confirmation. And lastly, I’m sincerely grateful that you did all those things despite me garbling your name! As someone with a name that is also often garbled, I’m usually on top of details like that, but I composed my original question in the middle of the night after fiddling with the darn X-T100 all day. Should have known better. Anyway, thank you again!
Very clear and detailed comparison. What I like about your videos is the simplicity in the way you explain things - easier even for a beginner. Will there be a separate in-depth review of the X-T200? I actually skipped buying the X-T100 since I felt that it's a good entry level camera with a few drawbacks, especially in the video side. I was hoping the next version would address that, and the X-T200 didn't disappoint. I may purchase the X-T200 once it's available in my region. A more in-depth review would be helpful in making my final decision. 🙂 Thanks Maarten!
Thank you, always nice to read kind words from an appreciative viewer. Yes, the full review is in progress, but I've had a bad cold that left me unable to go out and shoot, or record either on-camera or voice overs.
When in the Q menu on the XT200, just select what you want with either the joystick or touch screen, then use the right small command dial to change the values. There's no need to go into sub-menus.
This was extremely useful, thank you. I am considering going from the 100 to the 200. Although the 200 is obviously more video oriented, which is not my main interest, there are handling benefits for me - bigger grip, better touch screen options, swivel screen for example, but I do recognise that the key to great photographs is to be found behind the camera not on it!
@@MaartenHeilbron no, thank you, for putting up quality vids that are straight to the point and has no other drama. I subscribed last year because of the XT100 video.
Thanks a lot for this detailed video. Not being a videographer and shooting stills, I will stick to the X-T100 as the image outputs apparently are the same ...
Hello Maarten thanks for your valuable contributions. I bought an XT100, I have absolutely no interest in video and for my puposes am very happy with the image quality. The XT100 can now be had quite cheaply too 😁 P.S. my Mom grew up in a town called Heilbron 😊
It's possible that you've tried it and don't like but, however, if you have not actually experienced it - try it. You might find (as I did) that it's a more usable and flexible tool for navigation the menus and selecting a focus point.
Hi, Thanks for the great review. I am from India and in our country its almost difference of 270 USD between XT100 and XT200, is thsi difference worth investing or the same can be invested in lens ? Love all your videos.
No matter what people say about the XT-100, frankly I don't mind at all! I'm mostly an amateur photographer anyways, that must be why. Still about to get it, even in 2020! I can't wait when when it arrives! I bought it for only just over 500 bucks! It's a steal, with some freebies such as an extra battery, an sd card, and a mini tripod. I'd rather get Fujifilm's wide variety of great lenses, before upgrading to the Flagship models. Still a great deal! Also, I don't know why but I prefer that screen over the XT-200 🤔😂
Hello Maarten, I have been using xt100 for more than a year and I have only used it for taking photographs with 99% auto mode. But now I have decided to level up and go with more technical and learn to shoot manual. Could you please help me to choose from xt200 or the xt30. Thank you , I appreciate your works.
Hello Maarten, this new Fuijifilm X-T200 sounds like a great value / balanced camera. Now the question which on the surface is simple, yet is perhaps more complex than assumed: Of the cameras you have have tested in this price range, be it the T200, Canon M50, Nikon Z50, or Sony 6100 which would you want in your bag if you only shot stills?
I'd also consider the X-T20 or X-T30, both of which I prefer over the X-T200. Otherwise, considering focus and some other features, I'd take the A6100.
Good morning sir, congratulations for the video, it is well explanatory. Which camera do you recommend to make videos at the Moon, magnifying with a telescope, lunar craters, lunar seas, lunar mountains (always with a telescope of course)? My budget is 500 - max 750 euros. Please, can you recommend 2 or 3 cameras to choose from?
I'm not the target audience, but must say I still prefer the body design of this to the X-T10/20/30. Just looks much prettier in it's full frontal nudity, somewhat more sleek and balanced. I wish they'd copy this design over to the X-T40, but keep the dials, material etc. as is, then I wouldn't have to lust after a X-T4 anymore. :)
@@MaartenHeilbron Not sure if that was sarcastic. I really like the look of the camera, I just wish it had the vintage dials. I also hope this product line survives in Fuji's catalogue, I'd totally recommend it to PASM-dial-lovers. :)
Awesome video...In india XT100 is almost half the price of XT200.which one should i select.mainly for landscape and street photography not much for video.waiting for u r replay
Can you please tell me which one you suggest for Street photography and portrait... Sony a6000 or Fujifilm XT-100 ...also is viltrox 85mm will be good lens for what I need
I'd prefer the slightly more flexible A6000. However, consider the X-E3 (if you can find one), which I think is the ideal street camera ua-cam.com/video/cv0JUtt6g5E/v-deo.html. 85mm is a terrible lens for anything except closeup portraits. For street consider 23-35mm as your ideal focal length when using an APS-C sized sensor.
Thanks for the detailed comparison. I have a choice between spending $650 on an X-T200 new or $350 for a used X-T100, either for a personal camera for travel. I won't be shooting much video. Which choice would you take?
Dear Maarten, in this video you mentioned in the beginning that the kitlens has been upgraded. Can jou tell me the difference and If it's any better. Thanks, Johan.
Thanks for the review.. I am interested in photography. I am doing this photography via my mobile phone.! Now I want to switch to Mirror less.. which one will be best for me as a new photographer!?? Thanks for this review once again..!! Love from India 🤗❤️❤️
If Fujifilm interests you, I'd recommend the X-T30, or X-T4. They are both excellent cameras, providing all the required capabilities for all types of photography and video - the X-T4 is a substantially better video camera than the X-T30. However, there is still lots of value in the older models in these series - the X-T20, the X-T2 and X-T3.
Thanks Marteen!! Actually as a new photographer, I was thinking to buy this XT 100 for the better understanding of this mirror less cameras. Then after some time I will switch to XT30. Will it be good??
Which one shall I buy considering 400 US$ price difference in India? I don't need 4K and will be shooting mostly in 1080p. Is there any significant improvements in AF tracking in 1080p? Help me decide which one to buy. I can spend more on lens and accessories if I go for XT100.
Hello Maarten, Thank you for the detailed review. Is it worth buying Xt200 just for those advanced filters ? I only use it for photos, I don't need it for videos.
Thanks for the video I have got the A7 do you consider the XT200 about the same is it worth going for the 200 ..? I enjoyed the video I watch yours. Thanks v much Michael.
guys I have a question, I made a mistake when I ordered a xt100 small rig,unfortunately I ordered the wrong item it is for xt200 small rig, my question do you guys think its still compatible with our xt100 small rig with xt200 small rig, thank you so much who ever reply my question
Very informative and detailed review:) Just an quick question Which is better for video? Especially inside home studio setting? I have canon m50 or Fuji xt200 in my mind But you can can give me suggestions and other options Thanks in advance :)
Thank you for the video! I am using the x-t100, and thinking to buy x-t200. For photos x-t100 is okay, but is t200 much better for 1080 p videos? With x-t100 I had problems with stabilization (it is usable only with steadycam while any action), randomly changing focus and exposure, and lack of HDR. Will x-t200 solve this problems?
If you are serious about video, step up to the X-T30, X-H1 or X-T3. Stabilization (depending on how steady you are) will require a gimbal for real improvement. Fujifilm models don't have an HDR setting. As for changing focus and exposure, try using manual mode, which won't change until you adjust the setting. Thanks for your kind words.
Thank you for the comparison! Please tell me, will the x-t200 be suitable for commercial shooting? I choose between x-t200 and x-t30. I will shoot people in nature (portrait, walk). I like the T200 better, but there are doubts.
I'm not sure what you mean by commercial shooting. In general, I think that your clients expectations might not be met by either of these models. Whether you can make them work to deliver to your client's needs is up to your skills - these cameras have so much in common that you could choose either.
Hello , great. Video , Does the x-t200 has hebrew languege? And does this camera has fuji colors everyone is talking about? I am looking for my first mirrorless camera and thinking of x-t200
The model that was provided to me does include Hebrew as a language option. Yes, it has the same Fujifilm film simulations as other Fujifilm cameras, although some cameras have one or two more options.
I am planning to buy my first camera and intend it to be XT-100. My budget doesn't permit XT-200 but after watching the comparison, I don't think I should save for XT-200 as my prime objective of buying XT-100 is to get my feet wet in photography, am I right?
Sounds like you have a cold? Be good to yourself: Hot showers, C vitamins, and, if you like it, a hot toddy! Btw, quite interesting that so much is so different in the menus. Looks like Fuji hasn’t yet quite found the perfect system.
Thanks. Had a week of very bad laryngitis - I couldn't talk to record anything. And yes, those are all my favourite remedies, along with gargling with salt water and salty black liquorice. The X-T100's is the older entry-level menu system - most Fujifilm cameras use the X-T200 menu.
sir, would it be possible to know if the tracking focus was really improved in xt200? I want to photograph my pets running, xt100 was unable, can xt200 do it? or will XE3 be a better option? thank you mr.
Not really, no. The better option are some of the latest Sony models, which have excellent tracking focus. Even the A6100 would be better ua-cam.com/video/h48hMeB6sS4/v-deo.html
@@MaartenHeilbron thanks for responding soon mr. I saw the possibility of sony a6xxx but I am disappointed with its 16-50mm kit lens ... I think I will have to go back to my Nikon d7200 reflex, my budget does not exceed $ 1,000 ... thanks for answering, new sub, greetings from Chile
Hey, thank you for this detailed video. I practice street photography from my mobile phone camera. I want to buy my first camera, which one will you recommend me? As a beginner i don't have high budget, so i can only buy budget camera. Should i go for xt100 or xt200 or any other camera? Your reply will be very helpful. Thanks a lot🙏 Love from India ❤️
Have you looked at the X-E3, which might be better for that purpose? ua-cam.com/video/cv0JUtt6g5E/v-deo.html But, what is your phone doing that doesn't please you?
I'm confused between the xt100 and xt200. I am a photographer, not much of a videographer. So i was thinking of buying the xt100 and using the extra money for a lens or something. But the xt200 is better in so many ways not just for 4k videos. Would I be disappointed if I buy the xt100 or should I use the extra money for the xt200. And once again my main priority if photography. The camera has to be a little durable. I'm a street photographer
@@velurugnaneshwarchowdary4778 Then please take some time to learn. And note that many photographers work hard to create the right amount of blur in an image to capture energy and movement.
Hello .. Am looking for a compact mirrorless camera which can be fitted in my pocket . I need camera to click pictures during my travelling . Fujifilm looks bulky . Can u suggest me camera which is compact ... I am not concerned with subtlety of photography .
I bought fujifilm xt200 every thing works well only the flashlight does not fire I follow all the settings from the manual but still it doesn't flash ...so just want to know if it like that or is there any specific setting that it will work
Autofocus works fine for me - and it has no effect on brightness. If you want exposure to remain constant, make sure that aperture, shutter and ISO are all manually set. When the distance between the camera and yourself is not changing while you are vlogging, I highly recommend setting the focus manually.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thank you for your quick reply. I heard it is over heating while shooting 4k video as well 1080 ? Is that true? Am planning to buy this camera instead of cannon m50. Please advise me.
@@MaartenHeilbron I have seen a lot of videos where feedbacks are not at all good regarding videography. So, please suggest me. I am going to buy it today itself. To be specific my priority is photography with good quality images. Is it good for high quality photo?

To get full silence, select the electronic shutter and then turn the shutter sound (a simulation) to Off.

This depends on the lens. On the 15-45 kit, there's a small lever. On other lenses, you turn the zoom ring.
No matter what people say about the XT-100, frankly I don't mind at all! I'm mostly an amateur photographer anyways, that must be why.
Still about to get it, even in 2020! I can't wait when when it arrives! I bought it for only just over 500 bucks! It's a steal, with some freebies such as an extra battery, an sd card, and a mini tripod. I'd rather get Fujifilm's wide variety of great lenses, before upgrading to the Flagship models.
Still a great deal! Also, I don't know why but I prefer that screen over the XT-200 🤔😂
Always nice to hear from a photographer who's happy with their kit. Thanks for commenting.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thanks for being lovely too! Your reviews just soothes my soul 🥰
Hello Maarten, I have been using xt100 for more than a year and I have only used it for taking photographs with 99% auto mode. But now I have decided to level up and go with more technical and learn to shoot manual. Could you please help me to choose from xt200 or the xt30. Thank you , I appreciate your works.
Thanks for the kind words. Why not go manual with the X-T100? But if you must upgrade, go with the X-T30 (or X-S10).
@@MaartenHeilbron thank you.
Oh and cannot wait for your X100 V review please,! Mine already on order!
May be later this spring before we get to that.
Hello Maarten, this new Fuijifilm X-T200 sounds like a great value / balanced camera. Now the question which on the surface is simple, yet is perhaps more complex than assumed: Of the cameras you have have tested in this price range, be it the T200, Canon M50, Nikon Z50, or Sony 6100 which would you want in your bag if you only shot stills?
I'd also consider the X-T20 or X-T30, both of which I prefer over the X-T200. Otherwise, considering focus and some other features, I'd take the A6100.
Good morning sir, congratulations for the video, it is well explanatory. Which camera do you recommend to make videos at the Moon, magnifying with a telescope, lunar craters, lunar seas, lunar mountains (always with a telescope of course)? My budget is 500 - max 750 euros. Please, can you recommend 2 or 3 cameras to choose from?
I honestly have no idea. But I doubt that this camera, or cameras in the price class you suggest would be suitable.
I'm not the target audience, but must say I still prefer the body design of this to the X-T10/20/30. Just looks much prettier in it's full frontal nudity, somewhat more sleek and balanced. I wish they'd copy this design over to the X-T40, but keep the dials, material etc. as is, then I wouldn't have to lust after a X-T4 anymore. :)
Always nice to have thoughtful comments from someone who's already decided not to purchase.
@@MaartenHeilbron Not sure if that was sarcastic. I really like the look of the camera, I just wish it had the vintage dials. I also hope this product line survives in Fuji's catalogue, I'd totally recommend it to PASM-dial-lovers. :)
@@chrissoclone The best way to make sure a camera line survives is to buy one.
Awesome video...In india XT100 is almost half the price of XT200.which one should i select.mainly for landscape and street photography not much for video.waiting for u r replay
If you feel the X-T100 meets your needs, invest the extra money in a better lens.
Can you please tell me which one you suggest for Street photography and portrait... Sony a6000 or Fujifilm XT-100 ...also is viltrox 85mm will be good lens for what I need
I'd prefer the slightly more flexible A6000. However, consider the X-E3 (if you can find one), which I think is the ideal street camera ua-cam.com/video/cv0JUtt6g5E/v-deo.html.
85mm is a terrible lens for anything except closeup portraits. For street consider 23-35mm as your ideal focal length when using an APS-C sized sensor.
Thank you for an another awesome video...
I'm always happy to help, thanks for your kind words.
Thanks for the detailed comparison.
I have a choice between spending $650 on an X-T200 new or $350 for a used X-T100, either for a personal camera for travel. I won't be shooting much video. Which choice would you take?
I would take the X-T100. The additional cost will not bring you much additional value.
@@MaartenHeilbron Has the X-T200 already been discontinued?
@@jobney Both models are still listed as available on Fujifilm Canada's web site this morning.
Dear Maarten, in this video you mentioned in the beginning that the kitlens has been upgraded. Can jou tell me the difference and
If it's any better. Thanks, Johan.
It's a smaller, lighter and although it has a power zoom lever, it's not better than the previous kit - the 18-55.
Thanks for the review.. I am interested in photography. I am doing this photography via my mobile phone.! Now I want to switch to Mirror less.. which one will be best for me as a new photographer!??
Thanks for this review once again..!! Love from India 🤗❤️❤️
If Fujifilm interests you, I'd recommend the X-T30, or X-T4. They are both excellent cameras, providing all the required capabilities for all types of photography and video - the X-T4 is a substantially better video camera than the X-T30. However, there is still lots of value in the older models in these series - the X-T20, the X-T2 and X-T3.
Thanks Marteen!! Actually as a new photographer, I was thinking to buy this XT 100 for the better understanding of this mirror less cameras. Then after some time I will switch to XT30. Will it be good??
@@creationbys I'd save the step and go with the X-T30.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Which one shall I buy considering 400 US$ price difference in India? I don't need 4K and will be shooting mostly in 1080p. Is there any significant improvements in AF tracking in 1080p? Help me decide which one to buy. I can spend more on lens and accessories if I go for XT100.
Then get the X-T100.
Hello Maarten,
Thank you for the detailed review.
Is it worth buying Xt200 just for those advanced filters ?
I only use it for photos, I don't need it for videos.
Always my pleasure, thanks for the kind words. I would not buy it for the advanced filters. They're easy to replicate in software on a computer.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thank you :)
Nice educational video Sir👍. Can I take pictures in high speed sync (hss) with godox xt1 fuji trigger in xt100 camera?
I don't know.
Thanks for the video I have got the A7 do you consider the XT200 about the same is it worth going for the 200 ..? I enjoyed the video I watch yours. Thanks v much Michael.
Depending on what you feel the deficiencies of the A7 might be for your practice, it's probably not an upgrade I'd make.
Maarten Heilbron thank you for the advice 👍😊
guys I have a question, I made a mistake when I ordered a xt100 small rig,unfortunately I ordered the wrong item it is for xt200 small rig, my question do you guys think its still compatible with our xt100 small rig with xt200 small rig, thank you so much who ever reply my question
Hopefully one of the viewers can answer your question.
Very informative and detailed review:)
Just an quick question
Which is better for video? Especially inside home studio setting?
I have canon m50 or Fuji xt200 in my mind
But you can can give me suggestions and other options
Thanks in advance :)
Thanks for the kind words.
Either would be fine. The selection of lenses available for Fujifilm x-mount is larger and more varied.
Thank you for the video!
I am using the x-t100, and thinking to buy x-t200. For photos x-t100 is okay, but is t200 much better for 1080 p videos? With x-t100 I had problems with stabilization (it is usable only with steadycam while any action), randomly changing focus and exposure, and lack of HDR. Will x-t200 solve this problems?
If you are serious about video, step up to the X-T30, X-H1 or X-T3. Stabilization (depending on how steady you are) will require a gimbal for real improvement. Fujifilm models don't have an HDR setting. As for changing focus and exposure, try using manual mode, which won't change until you adjust the setting. Thanks for your kind words.
@@MaartenHeilbron thank you very much for the answer:)
Thank you for the comparison! Please tell me, will the x-t200 be suitable for commercial shooting? I choose between x-t200 and x-t30. I will shoot people in nature (portrait, walk). I like the T200 better, but there are doubts.
I'm not sure what you mean by commercial shooting. In general, I think that your clients expectations might not be met by either of these models. Whether you can make them work to deliver to your client's needs is up to your skills - these cameras have so much in common that you could choose either.
I would like to know how loud the shutter sound is when you take a photo... and if it is possible to make it as inaudible as possible.. thank you!!
There is a fully electronic (and silent) shutter option.
I really liked the xt100, but is it recommended in 2020? In addition, I'm looking for an affordable prime lens for the xt100.
It clearly has some trade-offs, but it's no less interesting.
Hello , great. Video ,
Does the x-t200 has hebrew languege? And does this camera has fuji colors everyone is talking about? I am looking for my first mirrorless camera and thinking of x-t200
The model that was provided to me does include Hebrew as a language option. Yes, it has the same Fujifilm film simulations as other Fujifilm cameras, although some cameras have one or two more options.
Hi Maarten. I got my XT200 and I want to ask you fi I buy an adaptor to use my Nikon lens, it's correct? Do I lost the resolutions? Thank you!
You may lose some definition, but not resolution. You will likely lose the ability to autofocus and likely auto exposure as well.
@@MaartenHeilbron thank you so much!
Hi from Dublin Maarten, could you tell me if there's 30 fps 4k available in the PAL region, or is it only in NTSC?
As far as I know, all frame rates are available in all geographic areas. If you download the UK version of the manual, then you'll be able to confirm.

When is it being released?
Not sure. They promised February. But the Covid19 issues are playing with everyone's schedules.
Nice comparison...
Yup. Thanks for the kind words.
Is there a good affordable prime lens for the x-t200 that you recommend?
The 23mmF2 is one of my favourites.
Sir , would focus point difference matters in photography a lot?
It’s a personal decision - and depends on your style and practice.
I am planning to buy my first camera and intend it to be XT-100. My budget doesn't permit XT-200 but after watching the comparison, I don't think I should save for XT-200 as my prime objective of buying XT-100 is to get my feet wet in photography, am I right?
If finances are a problem, either would be a good choice to start.
@@MaartenHeilbron Thank you so much for replying and answering! ♥️
@@subhankarbanerjee8651 It is what I do.
Sounds like you have a cold? Be good to yourself: Hot showers, C vitamins, and, if you like it, a hot toddy!
Btw, quite interesting that so much is so different in the menus. Looks like Fuji hasn’t yet quite found the perfect system.
Thanks. Had a week of very bad laryngitis - I couldn't talk to record anything. And yes, those are all my favourite remedies, along with gargling with salt water and salty black liquorice.
The X-T100's is the older entry-level menu system - most Fujifilm cameras use the X-T200 menu.
X-A7 and xt200 which one is better on low light shooting?? I am hesitating to choose between x-a7 and xt200.😢 can I hv your advise
About the same, but X-T200 is better.
Thanks a lot sir
Most welcome, thanks for your kind words.
Fujifilm XT100 and Fujifilm XT200 which one better for photographers
Please tell me !!
They are both fine, use the video to determine if one has features or capabilities that you would need,
If I've never had a camera, which one should I buy ? XT100 or XT200 ?
Either is a good choice for a beginner.
Which camera you prefer for landscape, low light photography and video... Lumix G7/G85 or X-T100/200.. Also i am not beginner.
For landscape, either. For low light, neither. For video, the G7/G85.

a6100 vs x-t200, which one is better??
They are both good cameras, it depends on what you intend to do.
I'm confused between the xt100 and xt200. I am a photographer, not much of a videographer. So i was thinking of buying the xt100 and using the extra money for a lens or something. But the xt200 is better in so many ways not just for 4k videos. Would I be disappointed if I buy the xt100 or should I use the extra money for the xt200.
And once again my main priority if photography. The camera has to be a little durable. I'm a street photographer
You will be disappointed if you don't buy the X-T200.
