Just one point that everyone seems to miss, on both the x-t30 and the x100vi I am able to enable swipe gestures and swipe to one side on the lcd screen to get the film sims to show up. On the x100vi there is also a button on the front lever that changes what the zoom ring does on the lens, and you can switch it to change the film sims. So it's not necessary to go into the menu at all.

@AmateurPhotographerTV Ай бұрын

Thanks for the tip.

@jdiuurdfsds Ай бұрын

@@olivierlabuse I agree, but maybe that would be to close to the X-T5. Fujifilm must have thought, give the target group of the X-T50 users, a different dial, a different experience? I actually, wouldn't change the film sim too much. Make a choice for a photo or video session and don't change it (during the session).

@ilanhoward Ай бұрын

You can assign a dial for film sims in the x100v/vi. For example I assign the manual focus ring.

Good info here. This is the 3rd review I have watched, and no tone has mentioned the leaf shutter in the X100VI. Huge difference. Thanks

@marcatcaffelli 12 күн бұрын

@davidhunternyc1 27 күн бұрын

Great review. I owned the Fuji X100 and X100S. I had the X100S for 11 years and the shutter button eventually broke. Fuji couldn't fix it. I loved the X100s. My only gripe is I found myself shooting more product photography and portraits than I thought I would and the 23 mm lens was vexing. The XT50 would've solved this issue and if I were buying a Fuji today, I too would choose the XT50. I, however, chose to switch systems and I bought a Sony A7IV, for the better low light performance, interchangeable lenses, and because I'm investing in Profoto off-camera lighting. It's expensive and I said, might as well go full frame.

@Steveeckersley1 2 күн бұрын

Great information/ comments video, I’ve owned a 100v for a few years and wondered about going for the 100VI. Completely agree with all the points regarding feeling somewhat limited in certain situations with the fixed lens. A positive of this was it made you try harder to get the image you wanted, but quite often it made it impossible. I’ve had the X T50 for three days so very early days, but I have to say my initial thoughts are the more I’ve used it the more I love it. Worth mentioning the IBIS (in body stabilisation) which I don’t think was mentioned in the video.

@timking1964 Ай бұрын

Really clear and well presented video - thank you. You’ve another subscriber. I own an X100V and an XT-5. This new X-T50 seems a nice compromise for those who don’t need the weather sealing, bigger battery, portrait flip-out screen, or dual card slots. For proper grab and go shooting, I love my X100V, which has the advantage of a neat in-built ND filter and useful little flash (which I think is also present on the X-T50). I’m keen to see how the new kit lens performs against the venerable 18-55…

I think this is a great addition to the range of X-T cameras, i think the film simulation dial is a great feature when you consider what it is doing, (the digital equvalent of switching a roll of film as easily as switching shutter speed). If i didn't use an X-T5 already, it would certainly tempt me, being an interchangeable lens camera that can have a similar form factor to the 100vi but also allows you to dabble in wildlife or macro etc. (with the right lens), it is a gateway into fujis lens system. I also can't blame fujifilm for the pricing strategy, the rate at which the x100vi is selling it apears they may have priced that camera as a bargain (same too for the X-T5). I am also envious of the built-in flash.

I really like your camera/body with lenses comparison. That was a nice touch. Disagree with your take on the videography aspects. Didnt give it a fair shake, considering IBIS and 10bit 6.2k is absolutely gorgeous 😻 KZfaq videos of it in action. Incredible.

@AmateurPhotographerTV Ай бұрын

Thanks. I didn’t say you couldn’t shoot decent video with it. You can, and I did. But neither camera is really intended for this purpose, and the video functionality is somewhat hidden - unlike the X-S20 which Fujifilm lent me especially to shoot this video on. But I agree that the quality of the video is great.

@karenwilliams8571 18 күн бұрын

I'm trying to decide between these two, and the compactness of the x100vi is the main draw for me. Is there a pancake lens that would be comparable to the x100vi lens that would produce similar pictures but be about the same size? I'm obviously new to photography, so please excuse my ignorance when it comes to lenses.

I really want a review of that new kit lens. It looks more serious than the older 16-50 3.5. V2 Which is a very good versatile lens. It was also macro, and had stabilization.. If the top left wheel is for film or video sims, where's the ISO? Is that programmable to the front or rear wheel? And if you shoot raw, which is why you want this higher megapixel camera, you'll be picking your son in post.

@northernhound3899 Ай бұрын

My X-T20 leaves this thing for dust. The X-T20 gives me rapid one touch access to a range of functions via the D-Pad (film sims, recipes, ISO, focus point) and the drive dial (Bracketing, CL, CH), as well as stock stuff via fn buttons (SS, Aperture, Exposure Comp). Without the drive dial, D-Pad and ability to customise the film sim dial for recipes, I lose most of this one-touch functionality. Meanwhile influencers masquerading as reviewers are wetting themselves over an unnecessary increase in megapixels. While studiously ignoring the significant reduction in functionality for enthusiastic JPEG shooters such as myself, who Fuji have kicked in the nuts and clearly have abandoned as a target customer group. And we are expected to swallow the lie that this is progress, whilst paying through the nose for the ‘privilege’.
