Fuji X100F Review After 8 Months

This is my way too late review of the Fuji X100F which has recently been replaced by its predecessor, the X100V.
I hope this is helpful and relevant to some people, at least those of you, who are thinking about getting one of these second hand now.
Let me know what you think in the comments.

Nice video. Been watching older content as I just picked up an X100F. Shot a lot of film with various systems when I was younger. Went away from cameras for a long time to do computer-based AV and messing with phones and point and shoots. Easing back into 'real' camera use and the X100F is a nice level to land after time with Fuji XP point and shoots. But, you made me laugh with 'my camera will be on eBay' after 'I used it in the rain and there are no problems ... yet'.

Ayee I actually was just looking into possibly getting an X100F for travel/light shooting so I don’t have to lug around my A7III and heavy Sigma primes. Good stuff!

I've had my X100F since December 2019. I wanted a more up to date digital camera to replace my aging Sony digital camera (circa 2008). I wanted a smallish, easy to carry digital camera to 'capture the moment' when I didn't want to carry a bulky SLR camera with a bagful of lenses, and to be able to share photos without having to wait for film processing. I'm used to using simple, all-manual 35 mm film SLR's and at first the plethora of features and exterior controls were confusing and there was a bit of a learning curve to get comfortable with using the camera. Now that I've had it for a while I can say I'm very pleased with it. Image quality is superb especially at smaller lens apertures. I use mine almost exclusively in 'full manual mode' (again..old habit) but the 'auto everything' mode is perfect for those quick candid shots when there's not enough time to fiddle with exposure settings. And I do like the 'retro/classic film rangefinder camera' look and feel. Dislikes? Only one: the placement of the 'Q' button on the camera body: I've pressed it with my right thumb by accident on numerous occasions at a critical moment resulting in an options menu popping up, but that's a matter of me being conscious of where I place my thumb when grasping the camera. Other than that: it's a real handy, well made instrument.

Is de EVF of the X100V better/wider? als with the X100F(as I own). Owning also a Panasonic GX8 with an EVF 0, 77 I find my X100F EVF rather narrow and not as pleasant. I noticed the Brouwersdam...! Nice

The fact that you don’t have a lanyard on that camera gives me anxiety

Thanks for this review. .... by the way I like your Sinn watch day date :-)

Ahhh, no hood or filter and specks on the lens! AHHH, my OCD! Haha, great video tho! The X100F will kick butt into the next decade. :D

[JadeSchafer]

I want to get a new camera but have to save where I can for it. Hard to decide which one to shoot for.

Great vídeo man. I'm looking forward to get into photography
What camera do You recommend for a begineer?

[thewitnessbox]

Showing the XT30 at 05:04, it was covered in water droplets, how is its weather sealing? As its not official.

[crwhhx]

Neither of x100f or x-t30 are weather sealed right? How did they handle rain?

[brianfreeman]

I have the Sony a7 but now I think you sold me on the x100v.

As a recovering camera junkie (35mm later digital) I always ask myself, is my phone's camera (currently iPhone 11) adequate? Thus far yes. I shoot urban and landscape images, almost always wide angle. That said, I watch plenty of good camera reviews (like TT's here), to keep an open mind.
