I got one at retail price from Adorama - was on their waitlist since Decemeber 1st 2022 mind you so 5.5 months. If you are not in a hurry, you can get one at retail.
Unless you have Pro needs, your phone is probably all the camera you need. I've been pro for decades, but for my personal needs my One+ 7T phone is responsible for probably over 90% of my favorite images.
Hi Marc, just come across your channel & wanted to say how much I love your voice. Wonderful relaxed sound, no shouty or forced delivery. Superb👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I just ordered this camera!! I was going to ask for your opinion but decided to check your page first! Could you do a video about film simulations and recipes?? Hope you’re well 🤗🤗
I will judge you harshly at the end of this piece, good luck. I will say, you're off to a good start. **DONE** 10/10 mate. I don't disagree w anything u said. I'm sick of ppl shttng on this camera cuz they need a clickbait title to drive engagement. Really well done review/piece of work here. The pictures u showed were amazing 👏🏾 def have a good eye. U talked about the f2, the lack of ibis, and the weather sealing. None of which are like, bad, just basically, fuji didn't know how crazy ppl were gonna go and how deep ppl would go w it and you also talk about w the potential for a new camera. And I agree they would be nice touches for the next version (100vi?) Which could be up anytime. Maybe 24? Regardless, like you said, this is an amazing camera, mine goes w me everywhere as well. And I'll be keeping mine when the new one comes out as well. 10/10.
I would easily pay over retail for mine if I had to and enjoyed the video. But your comment about instantly sending photos to your phone had me yelling bull shit! Fujis biggest flaw is there app. My OM5 on my om systems cameras is truly instant transfer. Otherwise I consider the 100v one the greatest cameras in a decade.
But… you said the x-e4 was cheaper and better than the x100 a few months ago. I guess you hadn’t tried it back then. I told you. They’re simply different.
I would really like to learn to make photography in the near future and because of your videos I'm really interested on buying a Fujifilm camera to begin, the XE-4 or the X100V and my profesional dream is the Sony A7 IV
Thank you for this magical storybook tale of all the information I need regarding this camera. Will have to watch again as I missed some of the info as I got caught up in the magical moments and shots. Brilliantly done
Marc this vid was so fantastic, I’m about to just give u the money and see if you can ship me one bc I’ve had enough waiting. Can’t wait to see you grow even more friend
Hi Marc, can I ask what you used to record the audio for this video? It's super clean sounding and I see you have a few items listed. Another great @GxAce homage and video. Cheers from Canada 🍁 Brett
Hi Brett! I used my Deity S-Mic 2S and the Deity HDTX recorder! This is my go to setup for all my talking head videos in the studio. I hope that helps!
@@MarcTaraz Ah shoot, I knew it waw too good to be true. I was hoping I'd get such stunning photos straight out of the camera. I'm on the fence of switching out my Sony RX100V for the Fujifilm X100V, but only if it's a big enough improvement. Do you have any experience with the Rx100-series? Thanks for making the video.
You can get something very similar straight out of camera, I'm not doing too much in editing. I haven't had a lot of hands on with the RX series, but in my opinion, the sony's are technically superior. But that's not what I wanted out of a everyday point and shoot. I think it just depends on what you want out of a camera.
The problem is the who buy from them, if that didn’t happened, scalpers wouldn’t exist and we all would have more cameras to buy now. It just makes things more difficult for everyone.
I wish we lived in a world in which the best everyday camera was affordable to the everyday people
You and me both. These scalpers are ruining things. But hopefully an x100z or whatever they call the next one is on the way soon
Got one for 1600 today. You can find them
@@WhereToFind but still 1.6k is IIRC more than the original price…

I didn't know this was a Stranger Things video... 80s vibes love it.
We love that retro future vibe. Glad you enjoyed ❤️
The style of editing & music in your videos is flawless. Thank you for making these reviews!
Just ordered the new x100vi and cannot wait!
Same!!!!

You got this!
Where you got the lens hood from ? 😍

I’m so glad you enjoyed ❤️ thank you for the kind words

YOURE fantastic Julian 🥹 thank you for the kind words and for watching. I’m always here if ya need a camera importer for friends 🥰
Fire vid once again Marc! Got a similar vid I'm planning to do about the X100V! Love the GxAce vibes!😄
Thanks man! I’m really happy with how it turned out. And thank you for your help with the thumbnail! Appreciate you always
I love that you, like myself, have a X100v and you're shooting in my hometown. I immediately recognized almost all the areas in HK you were shooting.
What were the recipes for all your pics?
Most of these were just shot raw, and then either classic chrome or classic neg was used, with minor exposure adjustments!
@@MarcTaraz ah so you just shoot raw and then choose in the playback menu? Raw conversion
I edit them in Lightroom!
@@MarcTaraz ooo, where do you get the presets ?
You can find all the film simulations your specific Fuji camera has under the Lightroom profiles!
I understand
All those reviews, and all those views for a camera that don't exist. 🤐
Anyway, nice video! I love the sounds and music. 👍

Amazing production quality
Thank you so much!
I’ve been waiting for a while for a video from you! Great job!!
Thank you so much SirRiceBurger. Your comments always warm my heart. I’m glad you enjoyed 🥰
did you used black mist filters in the sample images?
Its a glimmer glass filter! And yes, it is being used in quite a few of the sample images!
Great review, thank you for making it. Also such beautiful photos. Are all those straight from the camera? Jpegs with no editing?
I'm glad you enjoyed! I shoot raw, and then apply the film simulation and minor exposure tweaks in lightroom!

What's the leather strap you have on your x100v?
It’s actually just the Fuji strap that came with the camera!
It truly is a beautiful camera 👏🏻👏🏻
It truly is
Sadly it is impossible to get one in the USA right now, I am have been searching for one for a while now.
Amazing, in-depth video!
Great video man!!
Thank you so much man! I’m glad you enjoyed ❤️
i love this so much
X100v scalpers are the scourge of photography.
1000% agree. I couldn’t believe it when I saw people selling them for over $3000 USD. the absolute audacity.
The problem is the who buy from them, if that didn’t happened, scalpers wouldn’t exist and we all would have more cameras to buy now. It just makes things more difficult for everyone.
Awesome video buddy 🙌 I’ve preordered this, looking forward to having this in my hands. Been a long wait, but not long left to go 🙏
Doesn’t look better than the iPhone camera.
This Video is inspired a little too much by @GxAce
You ever notice when UA-camrs switch to Fuji they suddenly start to whisper lol
