As somebody else pointed out these are mostly points that people were talking about. Of course lot of people were talking about the ND filter of x100v as well, you came so close but still missed an important detail that is ''actually'' not known by quite a lot of people. X100V is not a video focused camera and an inbuilt ND seems a bit random when no other fuji camera has it, right? The real reason is to make up for a shortcoming of the leaf shutter which causes a busy and ugly bokeh when 1/400 and faster speeds are used with wide apertures such as 2 - 2.8. (I didn't look up the exact numbers.) When the settings are in that problematic area, which can happen relatively often, the numbers actually become red on the screen, indicating you to lower the shutter speed optionally by activating the ND filter. The ND is literally necessary for the basic functioning of the camera, if the objective is to keep the image quality consistent. If the camera didn't have a leaf shutter you can be sure there wouldn't be a ND filter built in. I have seen people reviewing this camera and including pictures with obviously weird looking bokeh and talking about the ND filter on the same video.
the iso changed from 100 to 64 in the V1. Isn't that a feature worthy of mentioning? I havent seen a single mention of this change on youtube. Just saying.
@@davey_gravy i think of it as having another f-stop. Sometimes you need to slow things down - as opposed to upping the iso to speed the exposure sensitivity up. It has its uses ....occasionally. And...i guess there maybe less grain in the image.
Well, these are all reasonable points - but honestly, in my point of view nearly all others are also talking about exactly theses features 😌
Love those slow shutter snaps 😍

Integrated ND filter has been a feature since the first x100. It is very handy. Probably only possible as lens is integrated.
Shipments seem to arrive every two weeks in the uk so not to bad or if your happy to pay over the odds loads on eBay
Nice! I ordered 3 from 3 different retailers online minutes after it dropped, I’m still waiting for all of them
This looks like a great camera
I can't wait to try it out! If it ever arrives
The built in nd filter is great with the ibis for slow shutter speeds
Heck yeah, that’s what I’m excited for

Great point! I don’t drop my ISI that low, and I don’t think it makes a massive difference in how it effects the final image, does it? I’m not sure

@@TobermoryCat interesting, that’s a great point!
But when will our Fuji x100vi arrive?! It’s taking so long to ship!!
I hope immediately!
Great filter but impossible to get
Depending on the size you want, there are some available on the Polar Pro Website right now.
