Outdated? 2 years later? 10 years from now it'll still deliver the same way Leica cameras do! Photography is not about specs and the X100 series is legendary and unique and phenomenal! Anyway thanks for sharing your thoughts!
good review, but i disagree about this camera being a gateway into photography. It's aimed at enthusiasts who know their way around a camera. It's sexy in how it limiting it is, but also how liberating those limitations are. These are the exact things that would frustrate a newbie.
Why would you spend 1k+ on a camera with fixed 35mm focal length when you don't even know what focal length you mainly shoot at or like?
Why spend that much to experiment with DoF when you could easily buy an entry level dslr and nifty fifty for less than a fifth of the price?
Why commit to such a limiting piece of gear when life is FULL of photographic opportunities you could explore with if you had something more versatile?
Beginners would be way better off playing around with a second hand dslr with kit lens for less than $200, then upgrading as their style develops.
I love the x100 series, but it's a niceh camera with a very specific vision of photography in mind. Get something cheap and versatile to start off with instead.
If my first camera was the x100, there's no way I'd appreciate what an awesome piece of gear it is!
You're right, the X100 is by no means a point and shoot camera for beginners and as much as I like it I bought a Canon DSLR for my wife who wants to learn photography. The X100 was made for serious photographers and it delivers
I had same thoughts like you. But then they released X-E3. They look kind of similar. Although the x100 looks sexier than the e3 but interchangeable lens body makes it considerable.
The problem with entry level DSLRs is that they are harder to control manually, you can’t easily control exposure compensation, shutter speed, aperture, and ISO settings at the same time if you only have a single control dial and a d-pad, so they’re often left in “green” all-auto mode.
An X100F or an X-T1/2/3/10/20/30 is a much better camera to learn to creatively use exposure on, the Fujifilm controls are pretty intuitive, and unlike some cameras (e.g. Olympus) you hardly ever have to look at a manual. And the 23mm limitation will keep you from acquiring bad habits like not moving around to find a better composition.
I’m not quite a beginner anymore but also not an expert. I was looking to buy this one but your comment makes sense, and it is a lot of money. Is there a dslr in particular that you would recommend?
I found fixed focal length is more appropriate, if you want to be a serious photographer, not a snap-shooter who does 1000+ pointless shots in a day. It disciplines you to think more about composition and approach before to make a shot. I had 35mm compact fixed lens film camera Olympus mju2 before digital revolution, and had no problem to shoot almost every type of scene except macro or telephoto - people, nature landscapes, city street, flowers, pets.
Me: *Buys a Fujifilm X100F 3 months ago*
Kinotika: "Is the Fuji X100F Still Worth it in 2019???"
Me: *Gulps*
I'm here with my original x100 haha
@@aaronchew I will admit. I've used many compact cameras and idk why but I've found the 100F to be really straight forward to use and is why I probably won't get another camera for a while. Though that being said, a friend of mine is thinking of selling his Olympia ODD or something like that and "my minds telling me no, but my body, my body's telling me yeah!" Hahaha
MiniMix Animation ...
I’m still working with my Fujifilm X20. I know.... someday. 😅
It's 2 years old!!!!! No quickly sell it and buy something else with more megapixels and autofocus points. No seriously, I am still using my dad's old Olympus OM2 (1975) and it takes awesome photos. We really don't need to keep upgrading our cameras.
Still rockin' an X-Pro1 ;)
Fellow Citizen that’s a great camera!
My Fuji XT1 is fantastic with new 16mm f2.8 very low profile. I also have the X100F and X100S both are great also the X100S the backs are for me beautiful!!!
You're so right. I have my X100 with me at all times and the X-pro1 (usually with one lens the 35mm f2) on top of it and I've got all I need. I don't miss my Canon 5D Mark IV and all the lenses I had one bit 😉
Fuji, Olympus, leica...... These are more than just a camera. Like a luxury item. So you don't need to upgrade them
dude, that's how iso is changed in film cameras for decades, I get the feeling you never used a film camera before.
That's what I was thinking too! Haha. Good review though, thank you. Maybe if the second hand prices comes down to 500 will pick one up or wait for the new one.
I set the front command dial to adjust the ISO, in the user settings. The rear command dial to adjust the shutter speed, by putting the main shutter speed dial on “T”
It works great like that, the exposure triangle is at your fingertips. I also think a newbie at photography would end up setting it on auto and not really getting what this camera is truly capable of. This camera is so popular, because of its pro features, versatility in personal settings and high image quality.
Yes it’s worth owning in 2019. I still use film cameras I’ve had since the 1970’s and create incredible images with them. The photographer takes the image, the camera is only the tool used.
Thanks for the review!
Look pal, nice review, cool camera, but 2017 was only two years ago, not very much has changed. I'm shooting the majority of my paid work in NYC on a camera released in 2008 that I've owned for 9 years, and it still provides more than most of my clients need. If we're talking about a fun walk around camera for personal use with a fixed lens, etc., I think we can definitely "forgive it as a 2017 camera."
Canon 5d2?
@@henrym78 that's the one I kept together with a few 'cheap' lenses (35mm f2, 50mm F1.4 & 85mm F1.8) and it still delivers
Exactly my thoughts; I love my X100F. It’s my travel companion.
Bought a X100F about a month and a half ago. It had to go back to Fujifilm for servicing due to the viewfinder 'shutter/blind' got stuck halfway down the viewfinder window and would not retract the way it's supposed to. Fujifilm servicing did good by me and now it's fine. Really like the looks and feel of the camera and all the built-in features, which I'm still learning how to use. The owner's manual is rather nebulous and seems to be written by geeks for geeks. For example: I could not figure out what 'photometry' meant (it is the metering pattern options) Why didn't they just call it 'metering patterns'? I find the many UA-cam videos are far more useful for learning how to use the camera than the owner's manual. That said; I've taken some really nice images with it so far. Really like the built-in film simulation and filter simulation options. The fixed-focal length I get around by using the built-in digital zoom options to go from 35mm to 75mm equivalent which works fine for me.
Bought this for when I don’t want to carry my 1dx ii around. Love this little guy. It’s a joy for all non-professional work. Great review Dave!
Owned the X100f but the lens really has to be updated or changed. With landscape the field curvarture kicks in. Stopping down even makes it worse. The 23mm primes (f2 or f1.4) give me better results. So traded it for a xt30 with 23mm f2 and are very heapy with it.
I just bought this in 2024 and I still find it worth it! Its such a great everyday camera love love love ;)
"Apature" 😂
Great review. After researching camera to step up my game from my iphone. I think this is the one. I also agree that the current list is too high in 2019. It would be great to see various ways of carrying the X100F because it’s portable, but not like an RX100.
'all those specs are fine and dandy, they are a little outdated' Really? It's a fixed 23mm f/2 digital rangefinder. If anything, it's still worth it and far more advanced than some of the current APSC offerings from other makers.
Why wouldn't you consider comparing it to the Ricoh GRII/III? Have you handled one? Although the FOV is different, they are both fixed, APSC cameras with a similar intended use for street and travel.
In terms of ISO adjustment, I believe you can map it to the front command dial.
@Phil Jones65 Focal lengths are totally subjective, especially within the 28mm-50mm range. I understand that 28mm might provide some advantages to crop, but many prefer to compose their shots within camera and use the out of camera JPEGs. 35mm equiv. is a great journalist/street photography camera and can be useful for scenic portraits. If 35mm is not a good FOV, then the X100F is not a good option unless you are open to using the lens conversions.
There are a couple features that set the X100F apart from other cameras in the lineup. The Hybrid Viewfinder (only shared with the X-Pro series), Leaf Shutter (which may offer some advantages to sync with flashes), and ND Filter.
The 18mm is a good lens, it just may not be inline with the rest of Fuji's offerings. Fuji's 23mm, 27mm, and 35mm primes are all quite exceptional. The 18mm at f/2 is not center sharp, but not many pancake wide-angles are at their fastest aperture. For general street work, I bet it's quite nice from 2.8 to 5.6. There might be some softness in the edges/corners that just might not ever catch up, but that issue may not be an issue depending on the intended use.
At the end of the day, the X100F is a fixed camera. That is no fault to the camera. The only fault is to the person purchasing the X100F, expecting it to be something more than what it is. It's just a no-frills, simple camera that:
- does everything they want
- is fancy neck jewelry
- enables photographers to just enjoy shooting and not think about 'which lens should i bring'
I don't own it. Like you, I prefer an X Body and Primes. That said, I totally get why it is there and what purpose it serves, even if many of the reasons satiate nostalgia.
Great review! I loved the x100f when I had it. More cameras need built-in ND
I want an updated X100V for sure! Gimmie that good AF and 4K 🤣
No mention of the high flash sync speed, no mention of nd filter, fairly dismissive of ovf. Pretty poor review.
He mentioned the ND ;) Definitely should've mentioned the leaf-based flash synch, though - that's a major reason to choose it over the X-Pro or X-H1. (Btw, the Panasonic S1 has a 1/320 flash sync - not in the same league as a leaf, but no one seems to mention it.)
Yes, the OVF affords truly instant responses - Mirrorlessons recommend the X-Pro2 for birding for that reason.
Also no mention of the conversion lenses - the 50mm FOV goes well with leaf/flash
OMG, 2017 that thing is so old! That's kind of a silly mentality.
Hotaru's Lens Agreed. I bought a 5D2 in 2017, and I still get wowed by it at times.
Not to mention it is the CURRENT iteration lol
Just get the xe3 with xf23 f2 and you're done. Or go mad and go f1.4
2020 reporting in. I know these titles get clicks, but let's be real. This shit gives the photography community a bad rep. Cameras are not like cell phones. You don't need to upgrade every other year or get the new model when a new one is announced. The most iconic photos ever taken were taken with gear that has less tech that my apple pencil. The camera will not make you a great Instagram photographer. No matter how new or expensive it is. Stop this shit and talk more about how you can use that tool to take better photos.
I have this thing and I love it. I've been doing POV street shooting videos with it and it's really the only camera I've been using lately.
"Is it worth buying this 2017 camera in 2019?"
Well, I just bought a 2012 X-Pro1 in 2019 😂
Great review, as always!!!
Yea same, bought an X-T1
I got an X-E1 haha
got my Xpro1 May 2019 for $300. I enjoy it more than my XT3
I just bought a zorky 3c from 1956
I changed x100 for x70, smaller, lighter, tilting touchscreen, which I use all the time
Batman is having a mood.
- Also, would you say buying an Fuji XT-30 on sale would be a better idea compared to this one? Just an extra hundred or two hundred and you get the newer camera?
Yes. The price is high because of the leaf shutter technology. It’s super not necessary. X-T30 will make you happier.
Can you even trust a guy who spells "apature" instead of "aperture"? Pro tip to photography UA-camrs: making videos that ask "Is X camera still good in 2019?" is lazy. Most cameras within the last 5-6 years or even more are still good. Sure, image quality gets slightly better (and I do mean very slightly) and maybe some handling and AF gets better, but on the whole, not that much better. At least, not so much that it fundamentally takes different photos than just a few years ago.
I get the strong impression this guy never shoots on film.
Benjamin Santos I get the strong impression this is his first camera ever.
Outdated? O_o
24 megapixels is still top of the bill for APS-C cameras.
The X100F is an awesome camera and yet I'm here still waiting for a follow-up to the incredible Fujifilm X70.
Just made a similar video, people seem to really love this thing! It'll last years.
Just ordered the x100f last week for personal daily camera. Cant wait!
how do you like it? i'm willing to bet you're a little disappointed. Like i was.
Owned many Fuji X cameras, but for carrying everywhere in a pocket, prefer the focal length and sharp lens of the Ricoh GR. 28mm is more to my liking than 35mm focal length.
I have a couple fujis, and I’ve always put off getting one of these, because I see the Canon M100 with the 22f2 and I just don’t know where the value is best.
M100 is awesome, recently bought 55-250 is and planning to get 22 f2 or 50 f1.8. Its really small but you are not restricted to Just one lens
I have been enjoying working with my X100T -- probably not ready to move to the X100F -- may revisit this when Fujifilm comes with the X100V -- check both the X100V and then price-reduced X100T.
I am owning this camera and I don't agree with you on many points. It's definitely not for beginners and someone who wants to replace cellphone camera. For that fujifilm gave you XF10. I am sorry but evf is not at all that bad how you present it, you can't compare it with your sony or T3, not only because production year but because they are different price point as well. Focus is slower, yes, again you have to know what you are doing (not for beginners as I said), but all in all not that bad at all if you consider it's size and super small lens. This camera is for ppl that endorse street photography, likes to travel with small camera bag and can even finish some commercial work with it.
And you read old rumor, new x100 is planned for 2020.
One absolutely phantastic way to use the flash, though, is to trigger an off- camera flash some distance away. Also, the in- built leaf shutter allows sync speeds ANY focal plane shutter cameras would simply drool over.
I also agree with some coments here; the X100 family not being a gateway drug for beginners. Instead, I see it as an optimal secondary camera for fun shooting, it's for people who know what's in their other camera bag when the tricky shots show up (except for using strobe flash in sunlight, maybe).
"is totally due for an update" why???? It's more than adequate for the people who need one. It's a target niche camera, but it's not a bad niche
I am waiting for the new x100, so i can buy the F cheaper :D
I fell in love to X100 series, since X-100S, and I bought X-100F (the used one) iin 2020 for $600 and I gave my X-100T to my daughter......and I fall in love again
"Totally due for an update". Why?
Have one but might replace it with the x100v if it has good spec (brighter lens, ip65 or similar, or any other feature i didn't know i needed)

Not terribly thorough review. You left out the built-in ND filter and leaf shutter. 2 very big features. Also, as for use cases...it's one of the best street photography cameras you can buy.

Outdated? because its released in 2017 and has a 24mp sensor...and you've never used one before this review. That totally fucked my head up I need a cup of tea.
the most humorous review...how about an f3, or rolleiflex, fm2, canon f1, pentax lx, om3???...then embark on other reviews...
But trusted sources now informed us, that the Fujifilm X100V (or X200) will be launched in 2020 only!
Dang! That’s gonna be a while! 😞
Glad you enjoy it. With 30 years of shooting experience, the X100F is hands down, my favorite camera, ever. A lot of the features you found 'novel' (optical viewfinder, ISO pull up wheel, etc) have been around for decades!
It could use faster, more deliberate focusing though. No doubt we'll see it on the next generation.
Whenever I wanna get my x-t3 to be this camera I love using my 7artisans 25 1.8 stuck to it, and I love challenging my self with the limited focal range to see how inventive I can get with my shots :)
I here I thought I was the only one that referred to it as “the poor man’s Leica”. LOL! It’s such a great way to describe the wonderful Fujifilm X100 series, and even the X-Pro series. Right now, all I’ve got is my Fujifilm X20, but that is similar enough to me, that I call it my VERY poor man’s Leica! 😁
Super into mine ... kinda want a XPRO2 .. but will wait for a 3
Ooo yes! I should review the XPro2. Never used one before.
Kinotika honestly dude, I picked up the 100f before a trip and very last min. Reason I didn’t go for the Xpro2 was due to not wanting to buy glass for a system that wasn’t E mount. Since this is purely a walk around camera fits the bill and didn’t cost me m10
Money.
heck even x100s is still worth it.
Exactly. They are all great!!
Totally. It’s not that different honestly
caution, the hybrid viewfinder on x100s and x100t (the evf one is prone to some issues if the camera is dropped) it will show a shadowy image like a ghost image that wont go, and the effect is worse when sth move fast. but the ovf rangefinder is fine, also check for the AF and the Wi-Fi when buy used, my friend buy used and the AF is fcked , stuck with MF, then my unit has evf issues. i buy used x100t for about $250 with broken evf
@@akhyarrayhka4048 mine did this without even dropping it. Its where the evf and ovf are changing positions and got stuck half way. I banged mine firmly on a wooden table to unstick it.
Imagine having to explain what an optical viewfinder is. Imagine calling it ‘optical mode’. Fucking wow.
Love the review, very helpful. But one quick 2 cents for people who dont know about that ISO selector, because I've seen a lot of reviewers call it weird or clever. That ISO selector has been around for like 30 years. Many film cameras used that iso mechanism back in the day. (Heres a photo of the old selector timedotcom.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/pentax-2.jpg?quality=85) They're just throwing a retro iso selector onto the camera, its not a new or innovative concept. On the other hand you're right. It is weird. Because in the day of film cameras you would only have to set the iso once when you changed the roll of film. It was made that way so you didn't accidentally change the iso when changing the shutter speed. However today with a lot of people running variable ISO setups its kinda an odd choice on Fuji's part.
Hawkbadger Fuji don’t really have anywhere else to put it on the camera. Thankfully you can set the front dial for ISO which is what I have always used and it works a damn treat.
THE EVF IS BAD? lol...
once the price drops around 500 I am gonna get one, been eyeballing it for a loooong time :P
definitely one of the best looking digital cameras on the market!
Maybe look at the X100T or S!
let me know when it drops to $500 hahaha
Same but i doubt it will drop its price not after they launched 3 new cameras. I hope miracle will happen on this price issue.
Just got a used X100T for roughly around $440. Image Quality is amazing for what it was made for.
Thumbs up for the Ethan reference alone
I wasted my money. Really!! I rather use my phone. Never buy a new camera the price falls 50 percent in a year or two
Still rocking x100s today.
The way you pronounce ‘niche’ as ‘nitch’. Americans. 😁
I had one for quite a while. The optical view is beautiful, but not super practical in practice so I was often using the EVF. I had wanted to try that series of camera since the original X100. I eventually traded it in along with my Nikon DSLRs so I could get gear that does a better job in video situations (oddly enough I went with a pair of low cost Canon M50 bodies and lenses, haha). I'm not sure I'd get another X100 series camera at this point. There was a lot to like, but I'd want a lens refresh and weather resistance. I'd probably go with something smaller now like the GR III.
Brilliant camera. No need for an update what so ever. Two gens ago it was still brilliant. The F is a great unit. Some specs have moved on, so what!!! 😂
I agree! I do think you should buy it used though. Too expensive for the specs
@@connormccaskill it's definitely expensive for what it is. However there isn't much competition for it, spec wise yes but not looks, feel and functionality. Used would be a good compromise 👌 certainly not expensive when compared to a leica with similar specs.
You can map your iso to the front dial in the menu system if you like.
The design is beautiful but the price is not pretty for me that I should think about the xt20 with prime lens.
Have the X100t and XT2 with a few lenses. Just ordered the X100f using the Amazon 5 monthly payment option. So like 239 a month. Still pricey but no finance charges and you are done in 5 months not years. Maybe an option for those interested.
Very cool option! Thanks for mentioning that
I am still using the original X100 and it's still worth it
That’s awesome!! It’s such a great little cam
Kinotika:
Hey is this incredible, highly-revered camera that was released less than two and a half years ago still relevant in 2019?
Leica SL, Nikon D750, Canon 5D IV, Fuji X-Pro2, Pentax 645Z, Olympus PEN-F, Leica M Monochrom, Pentax K-1 II shooters:
ง•ﺪ͟͠•ง
Are clickbait titles still RELEVANT IN 2019?!?!?!
Purchased one a couple of weeks ago, then followed up with the fitted leather case from Fujifilm. Waiting for adapter ring/49 mm UV/haze filter to protect the lens. Bought it to replace my ancient Sony compact digital camera which still worked fine gave it to my granddaughter. I bought this camera based on the many good reviews, and the control layout similarity to my Nikon FM film SLR. I just wanted something small, easy to carry, easy to use and 'traditional'/'vintage' looking. The shutter speed/ISO setting dial is exactly where it is on most 35 mm film cameras; and the ISO/ASA setting usually operated the same as on the X100F: pull up on the shutter speed dial and rotate to set the ISO/ASA. No big deal. Still used to my Nikon I find myself feeling like I have wind a film wind lever to advance the film and cock the shutter. Other than a missing film wind lever the other controls pretty much fall naturally under my fingers much like my Nikon. That and this camera just has a 'substantial' feel in the hands like a fine photographic instrument. Definite 'thumbs up' so far.
Any thoughts on considering this camera or the new x100v versus a used XT3 or XT30 with a 23mm F2? Size wise I don’t think it’s too much larger. I want to make the right choice! So difficult. This would be an everyday camera not my pro set up. But I love me some great image quality
I have the X100S and I really like it. My main camera is the Nikon D750
I purchased my X100F in December 2019. I decided on it after reviewing test articles, videos, etc. about a lot of current digital cameras at the time. I knew I didn't want a bulky DSLR but rather the purpose of a digital camera for me was having something handy and easy to carry as an alternative to my film SLR cameras, but with high build quality and the ability for full manual exposure setting (which I'm used to); and yes, the retro cool looks and 'traditional' control dials. I was somewhat daunted and confused at first by the various exterior control buttons and maze of menu options, but the more I use the camera the more I like it and image quality is excellent. The one complaint I have is I habitually push the 'Q' button by accident with my right thumb when I hold the camera, resulting in the display going to the 'Q' menu at a crucial moment. At first I thought 'WTF is going on here?' then I realized I was accidentally pushing that 'Q' button. Now I am consciously aware not to accidentally push that 'Q' button..if Fuji would have placed that 'Q' button lower down..say closer to the main 'menu' button..would have been better placement but I'm getting used to it. Otherwise I'm really getting to like the camera.
This is such a cool little camera! I’m between this and a Lumix gx9 as a general walking around camera. I’d probably get the 15mm Leica lens if I went with the gx9.
Great option! Love that Leica lens! I have one and it’s so great.
Mike Brunetti which one did you end up getting?
what about now after the x100V is out?
This guy obviously don't know purpose of this camera. He is clearly not the target.
A wild Ethan appeared....
So thiccccc
DUDE, this video is so original. And Ethan-like behaviour made it funnier.
aperture not apature
Ya that was a typo obviously
No, it wasn’t.
I used to dream about this camera. The film camera like controls are perfect for me since I always shoot manual mode. But I've discovered action cams which are even smaller and cool, so it's cooled my ardor. But once the successor comes out, I might take another look at this one since the price will drop.
The guy keeps talking about the camera like it's ancient. Like 2017 was 100 years ago. Very strange to listen to in June 2019.
Also, question. Do all Americans pronounce "niche" as "nitch"? I've heard 2 or 3 instances now from different people.
Naw
Welcome to liquid modernity.
Too late, got mesmerized by the camera and paid up, now I came across your suggestion of buying secondhand -- have a knot in the stomach.
So what?
Awesome video/review. Everything I wanted to know in 2019 expressed in a straight forward manner.
Wow awesome positive feedback! Thank you 🙏
Nice Review. Been thinking about buying this camera for a long time, but decided to go for the eos rp with the rf 35mm lens as a walk around camera!
2017 is not even a long time ago???
I’m not sure if you mentioned the built in ND and the high speed flash sync / leaf shutter?
It is what it is, simply wonderful. Forget the specs. Once you start using it you can’t put it down. Great Fuji image quality and we should not obsess about keep upgrading. A classic and it is my go to travel camera. I also still own X100 T only 16 mp. Who cares as image quality still stunning and 16mp plenty. I went to buy a Leica Q or q2 and again I loved them both irrespective of their quirkiness. Just $3000 more! With all these cameras it is not about the specs it is about the tactile feeling and image output. End of the day beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
& dang! They just raised the price to $1300! Will have wait to see what the 100V has to offer.
Like the video but the word is aperture, not apature, unless this is some kind of American spelling?
The built in flash is no good? Well it is sufficient enough for people shots because of the hyper sync
It's not worth buying at msrp now. Used, yes. I've had it since 2017 and although I love it, it really needs a new lens and weather sealing for the price. Waiting to see what the new x100 brings. Otherwise, might be moving to the Leica q2.
LOL Weather sealing. You have no idea what you're even talking about.
@@sonicimperium I do have an idea what I'm talking about, actually. The X100 OVF has a tendency to gather dust particles inside over time. Also, shooting in high humidity (ie my last trip to Bali), the OVF and lens both fogged up. Funny, this problem didn't exist on my xpro2 with the xf35f2/50f2... Likely due to the weather resistant body/lens... Yes, rubber gaskets actually help...
@@Chazyfizzlez Owned one for almost two years now. Shot in high humidity, dust, dirty environments and no issues. Own several Leica rangefinders and all have dust in their viewfinders. Has no bearing whatsoever making photographs and I doubt you had lens fog on anything but the outside of the front element.
A P E R T U R E = IRIS = f Stop
I picked up an X100F about a week ago. I wanted something more portable than my a7r iii. I absolutely love the Fuji. I haven’t wished I brought my sony instead of it.
Awesome video as always - bonus on the editing again ( lol the buzzing fly SFX A+ )
Can't wait to see what Fuji do with it's x100v / follow up...
The X100F is definitely a great Leica Q2 on a budget style camera - and 35mm great for occasional portraits etc - Saying that - the value for money in the Ricoh GR3 as a travel / street pocket camera, with a sharper + wider 28mm lens & IBIS is pretty solid for the price!

I think you should take a look at the canon m100, with the 22 f2 or some adapted ef lenses
Is the price going to drop for x100f after the x100v relased?
If Fuji is really going to update this camera this year, then there are just too many updates that it needs to justify the price for the current iteration, even used. It needs a new sensor, touch screen that tilts, new EVF, weatherproofing, and a better lens at close focus. That is just too much stuff that needs to be updated. But Fuji, I believe, is just not interested in this camera with everything else they are doing. Which is too bad, because this could be a smartphone killer given they fix all the other stuff AND give it modern communications capability.
Fuji don’t need to “fix” anything with this camera. This camera and all previous models blow smart phone cameras out of the water. Some of those features you mentioned would be nice but I wouldn’t say they are needed.
The x100v fixes all those "problems" but I just purchased an ancient x100f for $660 and I am sure the images will be superb if I do my job.
Sir may i know which camera do you use for making this video ?
sounds like a good camera, but what is this fuji cult? am i joining some fanatic group if i buy the camera? what am i signing up for??
XD
My Olympus E-M5 II came out in 2015 and has an amazing EVF, so I doubt that the Fuji’s is that bad.
Ive had the EM 5 ii since release and have just bought the fuji two days ago. Both are great, this guy is a glass half empty person for sure.
is it worth buying the camera brand new for 90 dollars?
Apature yo
I pre-ordered one back in 2017 but pulled my order after they delayed shipping twice and early copies had some build quality issues.
Maybe I'll check out the next gen X-100 next year.
