And after 5 years of using my X100F for various applications, here are my thoughts on how it fares with film simulations, for landscapes, street, portraits, and how it does as an everyday camera.

This is such a sweet ode to the X100F. Mine is still going strong after 5 years, though I flirted with the X100V and seriously want the X100VI. Fuji’s camera shortages are the X100F’s gain, so to speak. Subscribed!

As I Scotsman, I’ll forgive you for the Star Trek Scotty accent, for producing a great video. I’ve got a 100f so understand what you are talking about ….. despite the accent.

Is this the best video about the X100 on KZfaq??? In my humble opinion, yes. It sums up everything about the X100 I believe in, can it be your everyday camera, absolutely, it is my everyday camera. So many times I’ve been on trips, I live in Inverness 40 mins or so from Findhorn to give you perspective, the West coast, Skye, the Western Isle and Islands I’ve dragged around DSLR, Mirrorless kits the whole shebang and what’s got the most use? the X100 of course it’s just simply brilliant.

I have had my x100f for a similar amount of time and it still packs a punch. I am still learning and trying different things with the camera. There's a lot of versatility to be had with the film simulations and later on being able to edit the raw files with the X-raw software to get the right look. It is a friendly looking camera as you say and I think this helps when people see it. I'm not a fan of bulky and ugly DSLR's at all.

That were a proper brilliant wee movie indeed! I acquired the X100V last year to up my iPhone photography and I couldn’t be happier. As it happens, I envisioned one of its uses as the camera to take on bike rides! Do you use a handlebar or seat-post pannier to carry the camera on rides and do you use any special cushioning to protect it from shocks on rides? I ride a Giant Defy Advance Pro 3 endurance road bike. Ta very much!

@boomshiddang Жыл бұрын

Well I see from your channel you've already taken it sailing! That being said, I wouldn't necessarily recommend mounting it on a bike handlebar - especially if it's for MTB; even on a road bike I wouldn't risk it :( It's sturdy but not GoPro-level tough. However, I did made a video showing what I use to carry my X100F outdoors (which includes biking) here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdKgfMV82bDeeIE.html - the setup puts the camera inside of a bag, but I think it's much safer and protected that way, while also allowing you quick access to it. Have a wee look and let me know if that's helpful!

I've got the chance to buy the X100F for around 650€ right now, but the hatch of the EVF is broken. So OVF or cover it with something else to be able to use the EVF. What do you guys think? Still a worth deal?

Oo that's a tough one! To be honest, I don't use either the viewfinder that often on my X100F. Mainly I use the LCD screen, though the viewfinder comes in handy on sunny days. 650 euros is a good deal these days!
