5 Reasons to Buy a Fujifilm X100f - "The mini X-Pro2"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- The X100f is a great camera, no doubt. But so is the X100t. Here are five reasons why you still might spend the extra cash for the new F-model instead of a used and affordable T.
Ive only had the camera briefly so prepare for a lot of sample images from around the house and with the family.
I always recommend buying gear used. Checkout used X100 and X70 cameras at MPB and if you find one you also help support this channel by using the links:

I dunno but i feel like everytime i see any kind of camera i fall in love
Hahaha bruh I literally wanna buy every fuji
especially when someone makes a video about it and endorses it!! makes me wanna buy
Me too, I’m a camera enthusiast.
I swear to god you can convince me to buy just about anything.
I love how you take so many overlooked older cameras and remind us how every one of them can take beautiful photos!
Mattias, I’ve been watching your videos for some time now, raving over your reviews and photos. But I have to say, the first picture of your dog in this video (in my opinion) is one of your best shots. Amazing color, sharp focus on the eye, and so much buttery depth to the photograph. This shot truly tells a story. Good work.
Just won one on ebay....also just won an x pro2....i own an x t2.....bought an x e2 on my last trip to LA....not sure how I'm going to explain this to my wife
Mr P lol :)
You tell your wife you found it on a park bench . I'm so good at lying to my wife when I'm telling her the truth I think I'm lying .
Im sorry for this...I am sympathetic with no suggestion....or just sell them all but X100F, and buy two tickets to Bali :-)
You'll have to explain one less camera if you give me one ;')
2020 and the x100f is still my go to!
Another excellent video. The best part about this, and all your videos, is that you talk about actually using the camera in real life situations and you show lots of examples of your work. I am an X-Pro2 user, and love it, but I may add an X100F to my kit. Many thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoy my videos :)
You have a great taste in music
what type of dog is that ?? it looks like very good quality dog
fisher michael such a photogenic dog
The brand of the dog is French bulldog
I have a french bulldog as well. Only dog worth having!
lol
@@s_9878 why did i wrote this LOOL
watching this today makes me miss Krut so much..
Man you deserve 1 million subscribers. I watched this video second time, i will watch 3rd, 4th. Btw your videos made me buy X100T. Thanks a lot for all these movie like videos.
I had an x100 "classic", and, already at f2.8, it is much sharper than wide open. At f2, it is really soft. Anyway, a nice and quirky little camera with good image quality. The f version must be light years ahead.
I love your* photo eye!
(* and your wife's - I think that was her reflection in one shot)
I now know why you chose your dog: Willing model and portable dynamic range test!
Thanks for sharing, once again!
X100F+converters, excellent quality, a 28-100 range in a tiny light package...my ultimate kit..I'v been travelling 5 months in South America, and that was exceptional photography experience, also thanks to this kit.
marco candidi its good stuff for sure.
Omg I love your channel always interesting and inspiring from the bottom of my heart: keep up the great work
A very happy New year to all of you!!
Mattias, I love watching your videos..but the real star is your doggy..I love him. Keep up the good work.
Your dog sure enjoys himself
He is a she :)
I have yet to see where you divulge her name, though.
:(
The X100 is one of my most favorite cameras of all time. Thanks so much for your insights and sharing. Great videos!!
One of the best cameras I've ever owned.
05:10 - Gunpowder is quite explosive I see. :)
Damn, been using x100f for many years. Since it's out and till now and still using. Really like it as a camera. But x-pro is tempting with interchangeable lenses and weather sealing ... Trying to come up with reasons not to get second fuji ^^
I love my x100s. have xpro2 and xt2 the leaf shutter has some advantages
Splendid music on this! Wonderful composition! And a mouth-watering camera too in the X-100f. I'm a die hard - and very happy - Nikon D7100 shooter myself, but this is a lovely little camera! Excellent review!
Love your French Bulldog. I have an 8 year old French Bulldog named Ozzy. I've been photographing him daily for almost 8 years. Check him out. Also, I use lots of different cameras to take the shots. www.flickr.com/photos/lainer/albums Scroll through my albums to see the years and to see particular camera shots.
Most of the time i just watch you're videos just to see you're amazing click 😍
Despite all the pros it has, for me and I think for some people as well, the two maim drawbacks are the fixed lens which means once is broken the camera is finished and of course the fixed screen...
Both of which a lot of people put as positives. Luckily there are choices.
Any plans on having another phone camera?
I never plan to purchase any of these point and shoots but I watch because you do such a great job in reviewing and showing your pictures (mostly of your dog) lol
I have a smartphone that I enjoy but its camera is pretty weak.
The CM1 is the only phone that imo is up to the task of being a main camera.
could anyone explain me how this camera sensor compares to say a nikon d5500 in term of image quality? thanks!
Sensor wise its just as good and in some respects better. But you would be able to get a better lens for the Nikon.
Really good review
I like it when you said "Well... ME!" It's just so cute hahaha 😂 Your videos are amazing, Mattias. Don't change.
I just love your videos. I have zero interest in this camera as I'm committed to the Sony alpha system, but I still watch and enjoy. Hugs to Gunner.
awesome pics!
I've had my X100F for a few months now finally learning to appreciate all it's built-in features. I had to get used to controls and wading through the menu options and being careful where I place my fingers so as to not accidentally change settings. It is turning into the perfect 'travel companion'; a great 'grab and shoot' camera that I'm learning to trust. Don't miss interchangeable lenses at all..for my purposes the built-in digital zoom options work just fine. And when I want to enhance effects like using a polarizing filter that works great too..purchased the adapter ring available from Fujifilm to enable mounting of 49mm filters and a 49-52 mm step-up ring to allow me to use my 52mm diameter filters and a Cokin 52 mm filter holder if I want. It can be a simple point and shoot camera or as versatile as you want. And it just looks cool.
Hi Matthias thanks again for a lovely video. Inspired by your Sigma DP1 video I went out too buy a Nikon D80. It's in great condition and has a 10mp CCD sensor. There is no video of course and the top good ISO is 800 after that don't both. So why bother buying an old camera and to me the wonderful X100f sums it up. It's almost to easy and the pictures are almost too sharp that you loose all the soul of the image. I am probably talking rubbish but the Nikon D80 will probably teach me more about photography because of the limitations. For the record I also think the X100F will be one of the great cameras so don't think I have a thing about Fuji. For the record I use a Nikon F50. Olympus muj 2, Nikon ftn, Yashica medium format. Panasonic GX7, Canon G16, Nikon Coolpix A and finally Nikon D5300. One mistake I did make was to sell my D7100. Many thanks.
Im with you. I love being old digital cameras that still have a lot of life left in them. So much fun.
I'm doing an internship at a video and photo production company and my mentor uses a Nikon D3 with an 1980s Nikkor 35mm 2.8. He bought the Nikon used for a 10th of the original price and the Nikkor for 50-60€. What's even more shocking is that the Nikon is a replacement for a Sony a7 haha. He used that as well with the Nikkor and boy, this combination was delivering sharp images with the best colours I have ever seen.
Hi!
Does the OVF give the real perspective as a normal eye? Can it be used with the second eye opened to have a stereo image of the world?
Thanks
CatDude, not really, the image in the OVF is not 1:1, more like 0.5x. I really wish it was.
"Stereo image of the world" ... nice!!
Really detailed, I owned a Sony A6000 and the rear screen started messing up so I no longer trust Sony cameras. Both my Olympus and Fuji cameras seem to be as trustworthy as my old Canon DSLR.
Is there any chance you would make spotify playlist with music u listen to or use in videos? I would love that! Also thanks for the great review,
I love your reviews. How about a review of Fuji x-m1 ? It has tilting screen, interchangeable lens,great sensor, aperture and exposure-compensation can be changed with wheels. It’s small, lightweight and with a Fuji 18mm f2 lens it’s a stealth street camera. The x-m1 gets bypassed by reviewers. And cheap to buy….
^Very nice review, dude!
This video is currently ranked as the most viewed Fujifilm X100F video of all time!
Check out the list of most popular UA-cam videos on Fujifilm X100F at photogearwatch.com/camera/fujifilm-x100f
Pls make a tutorial how to give images this look. Thanks so much
I agree!
Lightroom and some nice bokeh.
Use Manual shooting, use manual focusing....set everything as U like. And that's it. No need for PS or LR "raping" to get this level of shooting.
Mathias knows how to use the light, and how to compose a picture. Then, a lot of editing on Lightroom, and that's it. Some pictures seems to have been taken with a flash (1min35).
Please make a video " 5 reasons to buy a Fuji x100s" in 2017.
Mind. Art. Creativity. Im thinking more about the original x100 :)
I ended up getting a black x100 on eBay a few days ago at a ridiculously cheap price and the image quality is just fantastic! Really enjoying it so far
I just got into the Fujifilm cameras with the XT20. I love the vintage feel and look of the Fujifilm camera and love your videos.
I watch almost every camera video on youtube, somth very sweet about this one; the mood, the genuine opinion and i guess the absence of "wana do a review video with detailed specs". Even if i had to search for its specs such as mic input or headphone jack, it gave me a very clear idea of the spirit of shooting with that camera. Much respect.
Can somebody tell me pls where can I find one of those hot shoe thumb rotating lever things like in 3:57? I've only found rigid ones :(
I am waiting for your review & perspective on the Fuji X100V. See your video soon! Thank you. 😇
I still have some trouble getting over the way Fuji handled the "Suzuki Gate". But Im getting there and have bought a Fuji camera again. If I get the x100v it will probably be earliest at the end of summer.
Mattias Burling Well... at your leisure. It’s already clear that you deliver true honest yet humbling opinions of your experience with camera’s. In other words your approach is unique and greatly appreciated. Well with that being said... have a great day! And like you always say.... “Thank you for always watching and GOOD-BYE!!!”. 😉
Love your videos, music and content. You're a great communicator. Wish you would teach a few photographic techniques that you have. Thanks
as always, thanks for sharing your thoughts and wonderful images. i have long been a fan since your blackmagic pocket days, a camera that i thoroughly enjoyed and used for my video work. i have seen your continued interest in the fuji line of cameras. i presently shoot with a panasonic g7 which offers some nice 4k video along with a m43 body i enjoy taking everywhere for stills.
but i am intrigued by the images from your fuji. i have been tempted by the x70 and x100 lineup as a discreet walk about. my question: is there any value in looking at the X-E2s? i was thinking as a low cost entry into fuji land, the older body with updated firmware offers many attributes of the xt1. thoughts?
as a subscriber, i look forward to your continued postings. be well ;-)
+smalltalk.productions Yeah I would definitely consider a X-E2s. The X-E3 will be announced shortly and should lower the prices on earlier models.
A uses X100t is also a good option.
I still find Fuji X-T20 is a better choice. With 27mm 2.8 is even more compact than X-100F. And a lot of flexiebler because of objectively changing and swiveling display.
Hey, I've been using the X-T20 for a few weeks now. Its a great camera, even though I reach for my X-Pro2 more often. The tilt screen is nice and so is the size. But... it is not more compact than the x100f. Even with a pancake. And its unbalanced and more uncomfortable.
If I add the extra grip for the X-T20 its ok to hold, but then its even bigger.
But still, a nice camera for sure and I might review it soon.
also the X100F focuses much more closer than the fuji 27mm pancake
After watching this I want to get the camera AND the dog 😂
Wow, your photography style is awesome!
Tack för en mycket bra video.
I like your dog a lot. If I buy one of these Fuji cameras using one of the provided links, will it come with a free dog like this, or do you just get a t-shirt with a picture of this dog on it?
To put it in a simpler way, can I have your dog?
vakkert camera og enda vakrere bulldog 😊📸👍
Your videos are always amazing! I was going to by the “T” but I ended up ordering the “F” preowned for a pretty good deal with extra batteries and hood and filter so I ordered it.
Great Video. I was very impressed of your quality. With this video you get my like and abo. Well Done !
totally agree.. and still keeping my x100t since it is still very capable and great camera indeed!
Fujifilm has become the new Nikon. Now, I’d probably have to go with the X-T30, for its versatility and different lenses that U could use.
Not mentioned in this video is the electronic zoom. While it is an electronic zoom whereby at 35mm (shown in the viewfinder as 50mm giving the nod to the world of FF) at 50mm it crops the image down to 12meg, but unlike other cameras with electronic zoom, Fuji reconstitutes the image file back to 24 megapixels. This is an image improvement over other E-crop cameras, but a definite compromise to an optical zoom lens.
But that considered, the option makes this camera - in my humble street shooting opinion - the premier street camera out there when one just wants a camera with them but is not going out specifically on a hunt. When I do that I carry an X-T3 with a 35mm Fujicron f2.0 with the 50mm in my pocket.
For the next generation (if there is one given the market these days) I would hope for a faster lens (f1.7 would be nice) that also focuses faster and a better EVF. Other than that, don't screw with it. No bells no whistles not tilty this or that. But I'm quite happy with this one, as I was with the T, actually. It is fast enough to capture everything a street shooting should at least be interested in...the story. This is NOT a landscape or video camera. An don't ask Fuji to make it that. If that's what you want...GO ELSEWHERE.
For anyone thinking about getting a Leica M10 with a 35mm Summicron, get this more advance, hugely lighter and more discrete camera and send your kids to college or something instead. What good is a red dot if it gets you mugged?
If Fuji produces an X-Pro 3 without the really stupid looking dip on the dial deck that makes it look like someone stepped on it I might...MIGHT...consider one of those - assuming they offer it in silver AND a silver that matches the now four Fujicron lenses. (what a concept). Not matching the silver of both body and lens is really B league stuff. What is up with that, Fuji??? Yes, aesthetics matter. Get your shit together.
Do you think is it worth extra money to buy used X100F than X100T?
Quality review and classy pictures, as always, Matias! Thanks
love your reviews man! keep pumping the great work! [also really like the vintage lens recommendations!
why buy it? it is amazing
why not to buy it? it is expensive and limited
I'd love to know where you get your wrist straps, especially the one for the x100f! That strap looks so good for it!
It was from eBay, nothing fancy. The others I have are all Gordy straps.
0:49 that is my fav photo from this video.. you just motivated me to do something with camera, thank you man. 1 sub from me.
Another really lovely video, great premise and execution, with a collection of amazing images to end with. A delight. Oh, yes, and the stirring music is a great acompliment too. Thanks Matthias.
Very nice informative video on the Fiji F…. But the real reason I keep watching this guy’s vids is the amazing and very beautiful images. Kudos !
Another awesome video! Please, can you tell me what kind of wrist strap is on this X-100F?
Michael Torres just a generic one from eBay. Im glad you enjoyed the video.
Due to my career, I am pretty much convinced I will not be a pro photographer and have the need to be swapping out lenses. I am a hobbyist, and a 28mm, 35mm and 50mm is all I need.
Just got a x100f in the eve of the v's launch, while the v would have be nice I got a f for MUCH less as people jump ship, I love it and have no regrets :)
great video!
Can x70 compete against x100f/xt20 for IQ? I want to buy "cheap" pocketable camera to carry around. Now I have xt20 and I love the images out of it. I'm afraid I will be disappointed if I buy x70.
For me the Fuji X PRO 2 is best compared to the XE2 and XE2s. Very similar in practically everything and you can use all the same lenses.
Imo the viewfinder is what makes the Pro special. And the x100 has it.
Thank you so much! Now you convinced me of buying this camera. :)
Het Matthias. You tube unsubscribed me.. Any one having that peoblem
Thanks for all the information. Made my decision a little bit easier.
thanks for video, I just could not call fixed lens camera, "jack of all trades and all-around camera", but rest was spot on.. :)
Rado Tej Well, I use primes for everything. Landscapes, sports, portrait, animals, nature, birds, you name it :)
But I get that not everyone does.
Its good that all are different :)
Hello Mattias, thanks for lovely different videos on UA-cam. Have you reviewed Sony RX100 M3 or Lumix lx100? Which one is better out of two?
Ive had both and have a review of the Lx100 on my channel. I would pick the one who's size I liked the best.
Another National Geo quality video, please keep them coming, thank you.
So you sold this to get the Leica T (again)?
Yup, plus I already had the Xpro-2.
Still got the original X100, love it.
Do use Kipon adaptors on Sony A7 with Voigtlanders.
BTW are you Swedish?
nice photos Mattias, enjoy your weekend!
The camera quite simply is a classic. I find it makes me just want to take more photos as the results are always great.... The best bit of everyday kit I think you can buy. I've had mine for two years and it's been reliable, user friendly and beautiful to look at.
Did I mention I love it!?
very good video
I own now and love it. The camera I use the most.
From what I've seen the X-E3 is the same AND it has interchangeable lenses BUT... it's cheaper. QUESTION: why? Anyone knows? What am I going to lose by getting the X-E3?
JanPBtest you loose the hybrid viewfinder, iso dial and the leaf shutter. I have a review of the X-E3 as well.
Thanks! In that case I suppose I could trade the three for the interchangeable lenses. Hmmm. The plot thickens.
great video matt! exceptionally well presented, good info with a hint of humour! you sir are a gentlemen and a scholar!!!
Can I change lenses on X pro 100? If not, isn't it a huge limitation looking at it's high cost?
Do you always edit your photos, or go SOOC sometimes? I'm wondering which film simulation you prefer
scias23 I always shoot raw only. I mostly use Adobe standard but sometimes I use the film simulations as well. I guess Classic Chrome is still my favorite.
Unbelievable that the back of the camera looks so much like the Nikon Coolpix 5400 (2001)!!
pawnoir Really? I don't see it.
The buttons are almost at the same place!
pawnoir Nah, there are plenty of cameras that are closer than that :)
Alright :-) nevertheless it surprised me. Bye
Nice review. Love the opening shot of your dog.
I love small compact high power cameras👍🏿
Hey thx for your Great Video. I bought this camera too and actually I have been on holiday in Sweden. Was there a Shot of Västervik on your video(boats). Greetings from högsby
Great video Mattias.
Right now I'm trying to decide between the X100F + WCL + TCL or the X-Pro2 + 35/2 + 18/2.
The second setup is much more expensive but I was wondering if you think there are major differences between those two setups?
+SunriseInTheMidwest The ability to swsp lenses is a big deal. You are looking at a bigger camera though.
Seems like a great camera but why would you get it instead of the xt20? Not sure the leaf shutter is too important to amateurs like me and changing lenses is huge...
The x100f has the hybrid viewfinder. Not necessarily better than the xt20, just a different style. Also, the x100 series frequently serves as secondary camera for people who usually shoot with big DSLRs or pro mirrorless cameras , which already handles the interchangeable lens situation.
I think that the X100F being an all-around camera also implies that you don't need much of anything else like additional lenses. That, to me, is exactly what this camera does. Everything is, sort of, in camera, like having the ND filter, hybrid viewfinder and the digital in-camera crop view, a.k.a digital teleconverter, that lets you shoot at 50mm and 70mm.
This camera invites a different shooting style: casual, relaxed and slow paced.
Kris Chan I see your point but I think I'd still rather take my chances with an xt20 and a 23f2 slapped on it and keep my options open.
Both are great. But the EVF and size would be enough for me to take the X100f over the X-T20. But thats mostly because I have an X-Pro2 that I choose over the X-T20.
I agree with French Fries! Please create a tutorial video on how to take photos similar to the ones on this video using the Fuji Film X100F ^_^
Firstly Mattias, your pictures are absolutely beautiful! Really can tell that you love taking pictures.
Secondly, I need your advice. I love taking pictures but so far only on my smartphone. I am looking to buy a camera and I'm coinciding it with my road trip to Las Vegas and California. I an unsure on 3 cameras:
- Ricoh GR ii
- Panasonic TZ100 and;
- Fujifilm X100f.
First time buyer, would like a camera for all purposes (street, portrait and landscape - can't miss those Californian sunsets). I would probably use this camera for a long time.
Which one would you recommend?
Personally I would get the GRii. It will be kinda like your smartphone regarding how much is in the picture.
If you are fine with that focal length it is a very nice choice.
Thank you Mattias!
Great review! Love your doggie. Thanks for sharing!!!
