It was never about the power of the camera. It’s how the camera made you feel.

Solid review. I know the feeling that Fuji cameras can bring. It’s like a classic car that doesn’t have all of the bells and whistles of newer ones, but is built to stir the soul.

"I don't want a moment to turn into a photo session" is a perfect line 👌

Another great X100V love letter! If it makes you fall in love with photography again, then it ain’t overrated!

[cameratests]

The effort and skill that went into this video. 🔥 You nailed it, Ed.

SO TRUE, especially when I go on a holiday trip I don't really wanna bring my fullframe cameras due to the bulk of it and not enjoying the vacation as it's meant to be

Stunning video! I’m a first-time Fuji user. I eventually chose the X-S10 due to its better availability/pricing, plus the included image stabilization lets me use the 50-230mm kit lens (the kit came with 2 lenses) without a tripod. The film simulations are gorgeous and I never wanna go back to editing RAW files when I don‘t have to. Cheers!!

Awesome video! I have been waiting to get a 100V for a long time and suddenly there were some in stock at B&H I ordered just before a short trip to Mexico. Packed the mirrorless bodies and lenses and kept the 100V available to use. I did use the mirrorless and a couple of lenses but found that I used the 100V more and have been amazed by the quality of the images since getting home and looking at them in C1. It brings me back to when I fell in love with photography decades ago!

I've had an X100F, XT3, and XE4. The camera I always go back to is the XE-4. Size of the X100 series, but with lens options. I have both the 18mm and 27mm pancake to scratch my rangefinder itch.

[glennsak]

Damn. This is the best review of the X100V I've seen. You captured everything that's great about this camera and what it's like shooting with it.

I've been going back and forth on this camera and this video helped me decide that for now I am content with my Ricoh Griii. I'll eventually get a Fuji for the colours but the fact that the ricoh is smaller, has a lot of the features you mentioned PLUS has image stabilization is a huge win

[MichaelNNguyen]

I'm still loving my X100F and have no plan of upgrading anytime soon. 📷

[nestorpool]

Ed, I Have had mine for 3 weeks now and I love this thing, I have carried it with me every day, everywhere since then, thanks for your video.

[MarcTaraz]

Found this vid because of Twitter. Twas beautiful. Loved it. Great job

[kay]

This video alone earned a sub from me. Well done. The quality, explanation, examples, and passion in your voice all came through. Mad respect

[SimiliPoulet-pz]

Great camera. I have (too) many, but this is my go to for digital lug everywhere. Few people seem to mention the fact that this is one of few that have a hybrid viewfinder. Don't need to remove my glasses every 2 seconds; just keep the eyeball in the EVF-OVF and I miss nothing.

[TL-xwfh]

The camera doesn't matter. It is the photographer's eye and his/her ability to capture an image that fully encapsulates the photographer's visualisation of the scene that matters.

[DocMagoos]

Thanks for posting this. I have the x100vi on preorder. Since it wasn't coming in time i almost went and bought a Nikon Z6ii but i've decided to hold it out because of this video. You basically summed up all the reasons why I had ordered one in the first place and I'm excited to get it into my hands now

[gearreallydoesntmatter]

The ND was added when the camera couldn’t synk at max speed. A problem that stuck with the line for a long time.

[TomSupraBoy]

Thanks for mentioning the digital zoom of 50mm and 70mm ! Literally no one talks about it. Sure it may come with a little downgrade in quality but still it is nice to be there with a fixed lens, it gives more room for flexibility.
