Canon r5 user here. This is my backup travel camera. Also a good point is some places don't allow Interchangeable lens cameras...but they will allow this

@@morvegilthose are places paid for by Fuji

28mm was being avialable 2-times via X70 & XF10, and both have not been a great success...go figure! 28mm is simply too wide, for ordinary shots. Into contrast, with 35mm, which is way more universal, not that wide, one can shoot literally everything ! From architecture over portraits to landscape, objects..etc...it doesn't matter. If there's one focal length - to shoot it all - it's simple 35mm, that's why i am using that focal length since the late 80's. 🙂 Same goes for Leica Q/Q2/Q3... there are many comments into the forums, that some guys sold it, after figure it out, 28mm is too wide for them, for daily shots...yes, you can crop to 35, 50, etc...but then, it's not the same, like native 35mm, because of the DoF, the opening angle of the lens, i'd always prefer a true, real 35mm, instead of using something else, and cropping into digitally to 35mm. That said, 40mm is my #2 choice, think Konica. 🙂 Yes, a GR-IIIx would be lovely, *if* it would feature a integrated EVF, not a addOn OVF, which is just a OVF. I mean, no status info about f-stop, shutterspeed, battery status, af confirm, etc. visible there. By design, i prefer a OVF, for my delicate eyes. And finally, Fujifilm *should* integrate a *true* rangefinder inside their hybrid EVF/OVF. This makes all the difference, for real. Think X-Pro4, Fujifilm. Maybe 2025, then...

What, like the X-E4 with the 27mm f2.8 (which they have discontinued)

yes, I agree. Tony must be using the old app, which sucked.

I was thinking that, too. The updated XApp is working great for me.

me too, no problem with that app

Oh I found them kinda clumsy and I'd rather just move closer or crop in post. The lens really isn't sharp enough to support heavy cropping. Would be better if they had a physical switch for it at least.

@@TonyAndChelsea Coming from Dr. Cropaholic himself, I will trust your insight.

Is it possible to link these to an Fn button?

Maybe they should convert the ISO dial to a crop dial because it's ISO invariant anyway, right?

@@grumpyrocker I know you can link it to the ring around the lens. I would imagine you can link the crop function to a button.

You, and other reviewers too.

They updated the lens on the x100v mostly because they knew the x100vi was coming 🤦🏽‍♂️

They have no idea what they're talking about. Chelsea claims she didn't even know about the hybrid viewfinder patch in the lower right corner which has been around since the Xpro2 and at least the X100F but she says she uses X100's as her personal camera. Like wtf?

Everyone has different reasons for what they use it, don't be mean. We are all a photography family and should be kind to each other. Sometimes videos like this help because stuff is mentioned that others don't, I don't think there's a perfect video cramming it all on, everyone is different. ​@@patio87

The GX8/9 needs to be updated. PDAF. GX9 needs audio jac. I’m waiting Panasonic. Just picked up a GX8 from the local camera store. The PL15 lens lives on the GX9. Just purchased the 20mm pancake lens and it shares a space on the GX8 with the P25 f1.7. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

I'm mostly the latter but prefer primes.

I have the X100V. I bought because of its fixed lens and I shoot landscape. I love the challenge of having to find an interesting image rather than just being able to zoom in.

@@colinstock325 and 35mm makes you assess foreground interest and appropriate framing using trees etc. you can adjust focus depending on what perspective you want to get. The painters Constable and Turner knew a thing or two about this …..

I said I do like the film sims for all the reasons you mention.

They said they LOVE them. What video did you watch 😂

Yeah true but I never really use those... I'd use a different camera for flash or video.

Some of the Ricoh GR models have both and ND and leaf shutter

My wife will *never* carry a Sony Alpha around, but frequently borrows my X100's. This is the secret.

Love my X-T5. Perfectly happy with the image quality. Compares very well with my Leicas.

Yeah Fujifilm should really charge more so that supply and demand match, then no one would be flipping these

I think it’s to their credit that they are not significantly raising their prices. It’s not their “fault” that the X100 has become a sort of cult favorite.

@@bsmukler Well if you don't like people flipping it and don't like the idea of them raising the price, then what do you propose?

@@dj_laundry_list Nothing. People will always try to make money. I just find it uncool to buy scarce items that could have gone to people who actually want to use them. High end car companies sometimes blacklist people who flip their cars, but that’s not practicable for mass consumer goods.

Your recommendation is fine if you need a new system. Some of us already have great systems from Canon and the like and don’t necessarily want to start off a second, or third, one. I did look long and hard over the last few weeks considering the X100VI or the XT5 and a great prime or the excellent 18-55mm as raved about by Kevin Rockwell. I went the X100 route for size, discretion in cities, museums etc. if I had no camera I would actually buy the XH2 then build out from that. It is superb quality and VFM but clearly not ‘retro’. The style is a secondary concern for me but a nice bonus on the X100.

The x100 series lens was last updated with the x100v, which wasn’t really all that long ago. Fuji’s awesome f2 23mm lens was released much earlier and is on the list of lenses that resolve the 45mp sensor. So I question what you’re saying. Fwiw, I own Fuji’s XT5 and x100F. Both are solid cameras. I’m sure the VI would be an upgrade to my x100F and on par with my XT5, albeit in a smaller form factor but with a fixed lens.

I wouldn't call any point and shoot pocketable. Even a phone with a case is barely pocketable

Sony's Cybershot compact camera🤔

Coat* pocket-friendly

It slips in the front pocket of my jeans. That’s pocket friendly to me.

I'm surprised that more people aren't ticketed for that. I had one cow who wasn't able to turn her wheel because her dog was in the way.

It breaks so many modern GUI design guidelines, like a lack of touch, searchability, unnecessary options, and much of it isn't self-explainatory. THE ENTIRE INTERFACE IS WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS WHY IS IT YELLING? Imagine a new photographer finding the options "HIGH ISO NR", "D RANGE PRIORITY" or "TONE CURVE". None of those include an explanation. They're near the top of the menu system, implying they're important, but what do they do and when should you change them?

@@TonyAndChelsea Yeah, I do see your point and it is surprisingly hard to find out what some of those things are for. Maybe I have gotten used to it, and once I figured it out, made some custom presets. I do find the menu systems on my Leicas easier to deal with.

Glad you think so!

Yeah I don't understand, are there that many hipsters that want this camera or something?

Well it's smaller than like literally every other modern camera

@@TonyAndChelsea Ricoh GR 111(x) has the same sensor size, weighs half as much, and has smaller dimensions

@@dj_laundry_list And it's also not weather sealed and doesn't even have a viewfinder - much less both optical _and_ electronic. Heck, if you don't want a viewfinder just use a camera phone! The camera phone _is_ weather sealed and you won't have to worry about any dust getting on the sensor - unlike the Ricoh. ha

Doesn’t it enable editing and adjustment including post cropping and sharpening etc before sending to the App or posting online with the new Fuji system? I’m taking my X100VI to my nephew’s wedding (posh London hotel) to take discrete candid shots and just let the pro get on with their stuff. I can then check out, do mini edits and post into an online system in near real time. By the end of the night I’ll have a nice candid album, done tastefully, for the guests, whilst they all need to wait to see the pro’s fancy work. I got married in 1990 and do have a beautiful formal album as a keepsake but very few casual shots other than a few faded prints now. In contrast, I took my tiny Minox 35GT to my brother’s wedding back in 1986 and was able to recently scan some nice casual shots from the original negs and they came out a great. We all looked so young back then….

Depends on which Nikon. and besides take something that you won't care about

I opted for the OM-5 for my travel camera. Much smaller lenses than my FF. Great for travel

Yeah it's not 100% but it's much improved

Firmware update 1.01 takes care of the X100VI compatibility

RX100vii is my goto for casual shooting because of the amazing AF and the large zoom. It's not as fun of an experience though as a fixed focal length for point and shoot. It feels more digital than a solid tactile experience. The buttons are very small on the Sony. I shot film on a $25 Kodak and it was so much more fun. Photography has gotten too technical. I want this camera really bad. The main thing that has stopped me from getting Fuji in the past is their lagging AF compared to Sony and Canon.

@@ryandetert450 The X100 had issues until a firmware upgrade was released which got good reviews. The RX100IV works well but the coating on the rear screen is wearing out.

I thought so too. But it's filmed in HDR. So your screen must support that. My 4+ year old phone doesn't support HDR, but my 2.5 year old phone does.

​​@@TonyAndChelsea I also thought it was the pocket 3 even though it was really looking too good for that. Probably because it seemed so stable :D

Oh good! It's definitely extra work for us but I love the look of it.

It does feel weird to give it access to my entire photo album.

They already did.
