i had the same experience when i travelled to nz. I took the xh2s with the 16-55mm and the x100v. i took waaay more pictures on the x100. I took it everywhere with me. For example going to the coffee shop casually i wouldn't take the bulky xh2s, the x100 is super casual and from my experience thats when you get the most memorable images.

I’m looking to get the Sony A7C II with Tamron 20-40 2.8. Maybe consider that set up? I also saw a video about changing the photos to panorama aspect ratio and dialing in colors to look more like “film”.

The last point is bang on - I prefer the feel of Nikon cameras, they're just a pleasure to use. Sony and Fuji are also nice, but I really dislike Canon cameras, I can't really say why. I loved the hour long USA epic Chris, thanks a lot!

[paulatkins]

Cheers. Great video and images, as ever!

Nice video Chris. As a Sony user, and former Fujfilm owner, I do miss my X100v at times. I sold it when I changed all my Fuji gear, switching fully to Sony. However it was the last to go, but when I sold all my gear I also got a Leica Q2. Once I had that, the X100v just didn’t get used, but I do sometimes wish I still had it.

I love my X100V for all the reasons you said plus the custom film sims. I use to take my D750 with just a 50mm prime on holidays which worked out ok as well but the Fuji is much better and more fun to shoot. I have lost count of times people have asked me if it is an old film camera...lol

[jeffmichaels]

Nice vid bro! 🤙 new one is coming out soon looking forward to seeing what it has to offer.

[kuyakeno]

I took a trip to SF recently and I took my X100V over my XT-5, even though the XT-5 takes great photos, something about the X100V just makes the shooting experience much more enjoyable.

[antant]

Thanks mate, always love your videos :)
Ive become a sony a7iii and fuji x100f owner. I generally take the fuji out now unless i need bokeh or low light performance.

[quatrical]

mmm. good photos and coffee. very nice

[onsitemedianewzealand]

Your vids are looking awesome mate, like this format

[mrpurple]

I'm looking for a camera with interchangable lenses to compliment my X100V... what would you go for? XT-5 or A7IV ? I'm leaning towards the XT-5.. but the RAW-files from that full frame sensor of the A7IV seems so nice..

[rickwanders]

Have you ever used the Leica Q2? Wondering what your thoughts are there. I left the XE4 for a Q2 but I miss Fuji. Thinking of selling to go to the 100V but unsure.

where is the leather strap from? (the one you use for the fuji)

[rickbiessman]

Big amens to your thoughts on simply buying the camera that feels best to you! Cameras are so flipping awesome these days, you pretty much couldn’t get a bad camera if you tried. :D It’s an amazing time to be shooting digital.

[MegaWeitzel]

All the Sony points seem to be specific to the A7 IV, not Sony in general. You can get bodies with more silent shutters (or even fully silent if you go for the stacked models). You can get bodies with regular tilting screens... etc...

[Regzillaaa]

Well the X100VI has arrived.. Will you make a video about that? I have pre-ordered from Photogear Auckland waiting for the call.. apparently there are a lot of people on the wait list

[alexschmtz]

perfect video at the perfect time. Heading to South Africa next month and change my mind on a weekly basis on wether to bring the X100V or the A7IV with a prime.. maybe I'll bring both for this trip just to settle it once and for all what I'll bring for personal vacations... would love to see a video about making your own photo book for yourself as I want to do the same for this upcoming trip.

[eliaspap]

Thank you for sharing your experience. Obviously a full frame sensor will always give richer files compared with a crop but I found the Fuji do process a lot better with DX0 photolab, this software does close the gap a bit more, I wouldn’t recommend using it for hundreds and hundreds of images as it can be slower, and for that obviously Lightroom or C1 would be ideal, but if your going to single out an image to print a poster or crop in heavily its amazing the results you can get, DX0 Photolab has some secret sauce that improves the sharpness and cleans up the noise really well on Fuji files.

Fuji needs a Monochrome Version of the 100V with lenses that can be used manually with that “Leica-like” thumb knob. 28 or 35mm. It would sell like crazy.
