The Original Fujifilm X100 in 2021 - Review With Samples 

Welcome to the community! Thanks for your kind words, I really appreciate it. I hope I can continue to bring more content that resonates with people! Thanks for watching, subbing and your comment! Cheers 🙏🏼🎉

Me too!

Agreed! This camera still feels and performs really well. It actually motivates me to go out there and DO something. That's not a common feeling I get from most cameras. Newer cameras feel like mini computers, less personal, and less about the actual craft. And the fact that you got it 5 years ago, and it's still going (I hope) shows the quality of it as well! Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences and watch as well! I appreciate it! 🙏🏼😁

Welcome aboard! Thank you so much! I hope it was helpful, thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment as well! Cheers 🎉😁

Glad you enjoyed it! thanks for the comment friend, not a lot of people watch my videos, so I appreciate the kindness! I hope it was valuable or useful! Cheers 🙌🏼✨

Much appreciated! thanks for watching and taking the time to write encouraging words! Cheers! 🙏🏼😁

Glad to hear that people are still using and enjoying this camera, the image quality is incredible for being 10 years old. The slow methodology is actually a pro in my opinion, it forces you to slow down and be more methodical about your work. Thank you for watching, and dropping a comment as well! Cheers 😁🙌🏼

Happy to hear that! It's great to hear that people are still using this camera and enjoying it as well! What DSLR were you using before this one? and How's the x100 treating you so far? Curious to hear your thoughts. I have other videos about this camera, including full settings and set up video, and a back button focusing guide video ( I use the Xpro1 in that video, but the same principles apply to the X100). Last but not least, thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to share a comment as well! I appreciate it 😁🙌🏼

I appreciate it! I hope it was useful. Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment! 😁

Thanks for your kind words and welcome to this small community! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to share your thoughts as well! Cheers 🙏🏼🙏🏼

It really is! Just remember to set your expectations accordingly, mostly about the speed of the camera. But other than that it's a great camera, it offers amazing results for the value. Keep me posted about your experiences using the camera and the results you're getting later on! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share a comment as well! And good luck with your x100 journey 😁🙌🏼

Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind comment, helps keen the motivation and energy up there. Thanks for watching! 😁✨

Thank you so much for your kind words! Craft and mindset are my focus on this channel, and hopefully it helps people out there tune out the noise. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, cheers! 🙏🏼✨

Glad you enjoyed it! Happy to hear that people out there still use this camera and enjoy it to this day! 😁 What's the most noticeable difference between cycling through all of your x100 cameras? curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks for watching, friend! I hope the video was useful or informative! I appreciate you dropping by and leaving a comment! Cheers 🙏🏼✨

Thanks so much! I hope it was helpful or at least entertaining! Thanks for taking the time to watch a leave a comment as well, I appreciate it!

Welcome aboard! Thank you very much for your kind words, I hope be able to continue to bring you more content like this, stay tuned and thanks again! 🙏🏽😁

Thanks for your kind words! I agree that the images produced by the x100 are incredible. There's no better time to start and no better camera to start your journey than the x100. I hope the video was useful or entertaining! How's the M9 treating you? I've always been curious about Leica and would like to give it a try in the future! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share a comment with your thoughts, I really appreciate it, Frank! ✨✨

Interesting to hear (read) your thoughts! For most people, the value of the x100 becomes apparent after you've used newer and better cameras. The x100v is my main camera, and the speed, focusing and operational difference is just day and night. However the thing that keeps me, and other people going back to some of these older sensors, like the x100, and now the xpro1, is the truly unique image quality/look. Those sensors have a magic sauce... Not sure why that magic sauce is not replicated on the newer/better cameras, but I guess we can't have it all, can't we? Thank you so much for takin the time to watch and leave a comment and share your thoughts as well! I appreciate it! 😁🙏🏼✨

Thanks for sharing your experience! That's very similar to how I use that camera, i have to mentally prepare myself, and slow down to use it and enjoy it properly. I'll dig more about the serial number, thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video and leave a comment as well! I really appreciate it! 🙏🏼😁

Thank you so much! the x100f is a great camera, it was my main driver every single day for over a year while living in japan. Suerte y gracias por el comentario! Lo aprecio 🙌🏼✨

Interesting to hear.. I think the convenience of a smartphone is what most people enjoy of it, not necessarily the quality. But hey, at least you're out there taking photos and enjoying it (I hope). And at the end of the day that is what matters! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts as well. Cheers! ✨

Great to hear! I'm glad you're having a great time with it. It's a great camera and it has a lot to offer! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment as well! Welcome to the community! 😁🙏🏼

Wow, very nice! This is a great camera, the image quality is still amazing after all these years. If you have patience with it and don't mind taking it a little slow, then this is a great everyday carry! Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts as well! Happy Holidays! 🎄✨

Glad you liked it! I hope it was helpful or entertaining. Thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate it! 🙏🏼

Congrats! I'm loving the V as well, it's a great camera and offers quite a bit. That being said, I know what you mean about the other x100 cameras. After reviewing this camera, my perspective on this series has changed quite a bit. Some of my own favourite images ever were taken with the x100t, and x100f. So these camera do not limit you. You are the one capturing moments in time and creating memories. Collecting the x100 series sound like fun! Keep me posted on any updates and share your thoughts on the x100 later on! Cheers 😁🙌🏼

Thanks man, I appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave a comment! Cheers! 🙌🏼😁

Totally agree! That's one of the main reasons why I also use the x100 series and rangefinder styles cameras in general. Makes me feel more immersed in my craft. I liked that term a lot "Proper photographer". Thanks for takin the time to watch my video and leave a comment as well! I really appreciate it, man! 🙌🏼😁

Thanks! How's the x100s? I just play orchestra samples and try to recreate my favourite film scores. And yeah I'm at YYC. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment! Cheers! 🙌🏼

Thanks a lot! Thats's great to hear, so many people still use and enjoy these cameras! I used to use a 1/8 black pro mist with my cinema rig before, love the look, might give it a try on photos as well! Thank you very much for watching and sharing your thoughts as well! Cheers! 🙏🏼✨

Agreed! the x100V is my main camera, but the older sensors have something special about them, not really sure what it is, but I love that magic! Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts! I appreciate it! 🙏🏼😁

It's a great camera for sure, image quality beats some modern cameras as well. It's my #1 recommendation for people starting out! Thanks for sharing your experiences, and thanks for watching and leaving a comment as well! Cheers! 😁🙌🏼

Thanks for sharing! How's the camera treating you so far? I'm curious to know what you think after you've used it for a bit. The image quality is great and the feel is exceptional. Thanks for watching, and for taking the time of the day to leave a comment as well! Cheers! 🙌🏼

Good choice! I love my x100v, but I also would like another option with interchangeable lenses, maybe I'll go the same route as you in the future. Thanks for watching and commenting as well! 🙌🏽

Agreed! Great camera, pretty impressive that still holds up and even rival newer cameras as well. Glad to see people still have it from launch and still use it! Thanks for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts! Cheers! 🙌🏼

I agree! I love my X100V, but sometimes feels like the older cameras have unique characteristics that I would like to see on the newer cameras! Thanks for taking the time to watch my video and dropping a comment! I really appreciate it 🙏🏽

Second this, I have a X-T2 and X-E2, considering to get a X-pro1 or X100 the original later.

@@swirlybokeh9054 hurry up and get that xpro 1 if you're serious prices are starting to creep back up, because of realizing that their sensor is very close to film. I've seen them as high $700-$800 with a kit lens. Then anywhere around $500-$600 without lens. If any lower you might want to check the body wear.

Good to hear!, I still use often and love the results. Im glad people still give this camera a chance in 2021, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! I appreciate it! 😁

Totally agree! I hope the x10 continues to exist and bridge the preferences of photographers! It good to have options to recommend to people just starting out. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment! I appreciate it! 🙌🏽😁

Thanks for your nice comment! Yes I meant compared to my main camera (the x100v) lacking my favourite simulations like classic chrome and Acros! I did clarify that on a later video (Fujifilm X100 Complete Getting Started Guide in 2021 video) I just wanted to make sure people understood what I meant. The original x100 has Astia and Velvia, and these are great, but I miss the classic chrome haha. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment as well! I really appreciate it 🙏🏼😁

Agreed 100%. I love the x100v, but the colours are not quite the same as the x100t or x100, but everything else makes sense for me. The x100 still has a sort of magic look to it, At an incredible and reasonable price, there's no best time to start photography than now! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! 🙌🏽😁

it still boggles my mind how anyone today can be convinced that a phone can take better pictures than a dedicated camera, especially one like this X100... it's just physics at the end of the day, a big lens captures more light, thus more details.. even a cheap point and shooter can take better pictures than most phones.. its just an example of how scary and powerful marketing is i think..

@@jub8891 My iPhone 11's image quality is crap compared to my X100V... but they always say that they are DSLR quality.

X100 and 100S have an organic look, i still love those cameras. X100V is amazing but pictures have a sharper and clean look. iPhone is good for some situations but I’d never use it for portraits, the skin tones are way too “orange” and portrait mode still look fake if you have a “trained eye” , but it’s amazing for video and landscape, the HDR it’s incredible. But I see them like tools for different jobs.

Glad it was helpful! It's great to see people share their love and experiences with their x100. Thank you so much for watching, and taking the time to leave a comment as well! Cheers 😁🙌🏼

I'm really glad to hear (read) this! I was hoping to offer some value to people with that review, and it seems like it was worth it! Would love to hear your thoughts on the everyday use of the camera, is it for street or more like just an every day carry situation? the speed seems to be a minor thing compared to the great image quality and results! Thanks a lot for watching and taking the time to share that positive comment, man. I appreciate it 🙌🏼🎉

@@Jorge-Perez I have it mostly for street use. For events and paid shoots it still is the D750 that’s the weapon of choice. I got it because it seemed like a reasonably priced option to find the “zen” of photography again. The speed and the weird controls (who the heck puts the AF-S in the most inaccessible spot on a three-position sliding switch?) are really worth a gripe but the results just blow all the complaints away. The seller of my unit got a Toshiba Flashair wifi SD card and just included it with the camera, so if you feel the pain of not having wifi, one of those cards is a good solution provided you can find one and can stomach the price. The biggest gripe I had with the D750 was that it was just way too big and obvious for street photography - people duck and cower when your body’s the size of a brick and your lens is the size of a pint mug!

Hey, Congrats! How's the camera treating you so far? Glad to hear other people using fuji cameras and hopefully enjoying the process as well. Hope the video was useful or helpful in the process of getting one, thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to share a comment as well! I appreciate it! 😁🙏🏼

@@Jorge-Perez coming from a Sony full frame user , the Fuji apsc system is a breath of fresh air in a world obsessed with full frame and the latest and greatest, also being able to use jpegs straight out of camera is amazing 🤩, thanks for the great content

Congrats Geoff! very cool, the black x100 camera is a special edition and not many people have it! this is a great camera to get started and to start thinking about your craft more seriously, or at least putting a bit more effort into it! I'd be curious to hear your thoughts and experience with the camera after you have used it for a while! Thank you so much for watching, I hope the video was useful! And thanks for taking the time to share a comment as well! I appreciate it! Cheers 😁✨

I see!, it would be similar to your experience with the xpro1, but lighter, smaller, and no interchangeable lenses. If you are fine with a 35mm equivalent lens, then the x100 series would be a good match for you! Thanks fort your comment and for watching as well! I appreciate it! 🙌🏽

Agreed! This camera is definitely special, Newer cameras are better and more efficient, but feel like soulless computers. Will Definitely keep the x100 around, even after owning newer cameras. Thanks watching and for sharing your thoughts! I appreciate it! 🙏🏼😁

Thanks man, I try to be honest and give people the pros and cons, but overall this is a great camera. I enjoyed using it and the results are incredible. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment as well! cheers! 😁🙌🏼

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch, and leave a comment as well! I hope it as useful! Cheers 😁🙌🏼

Awesome! Thank you! I hope it was helpful or at least entertaining. Some of my best photos, the photos I feel proud of, are all about the skills and being able to capture the moment instead of what camera I used. Gear helps, but it's not everything. Thanks for your kind words, for taking the time to watch my video and leave a comment as well! Cheers! 🙌🏼😁

Great to hear! I have other videos about regarding how to set it up, and shooting modes and focusing as well, in case you want to learn a bit more about it! It's a great camera and I hope you'll enjoy using it. Thanks for watching and keep me posted on any developments! Cheers 🙏🏼😁

Thanks for the kind comment! Ideally, photography is an art form that makes up happy, so might as well slow down a bit and fully enjoy the process. The process is equally as important as the end result. Social media seems to have forgotten that. What camera were you using before you stopped? enjoying the camera that you're using really helps you stay engaged with the craft! I hope the video was interesting or useful! Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to share a comment as well! I appreciate it! 🙌🏼✨

@@Jorge-Perez you couldn’t have said it better. Back in 2019 I was using a Sony A7iii but when the pandemic hit, I had to let it go. Now I’m trying to be humble and get back to basics before I can get an expensive camera again. Camera might be gone, but my passion for photography isn’t!

Agreed! reading all the comments of this video made me realize that a LOT of people got it when it came out, and still use it and enjoy it to this day, it's a great camera not only for enthusiasts, but for beginners as well! Image quality rivals other cameras, and devices, this camera is special! Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment as well! I appreciate it! 🙏🏼😁

100% agreed, that's the main reason I made this video to begin with, for the price, this camera is incredible, and it has quickly become my #1 recommendation for people starting out! And I do believe the speed of the camera makes you intentional, and overall its good for your craft. Thanks for sharing your experiences, and thanks for watching and leaving a comment as well! I appreciate it 😁🙌🏼

Oh no! This comment made me laugh out loud! My first fuji camera was the x100t, loved the image and functionality of it. Would love to hear your experiences with the camera! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment as well! Cheers! 🙌🏼✨

Agreed! The older cameras are built differently, and have a distinct look and feel, interesting to hear your experiences with the cameras and the fact that you have all of them! that's awesome! Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your experiences, I appreciate it! ✨🙌🏼

@@Jorge-Perez I don't have all of them, ive just owned them but kept the original and the V.

Woah, I don't think i've ever seen the black limited edition. You should use one as a black and white and the other as colour camera 😂 That's awesome, do you still use them frequently? Thanks for watching and commenting as well, I appreciate it 🙏🏼✨

Hi Carlo, it's not a fair comparison to make, image quality is just one of many aspects of a camera. If you have watched my videos then you know that usability and portability matters as well, enjoying the camera, and wanting to use it is part of the process as well. I think you're looking at the specs of the 250D, which on paper look nice, and assigning the value to that. But I personally would not get a dslr, I don't see myself carrying that, or shooting video with it, or enjoying recycled body designs or anything like that. I haven't used it, so I can't really give you an opinion on the 250D, but it kinda goes against my street photography setting and style. I think you need to do a bit of self exploration and think about what are the most important aspects that matter to you and that affect your everyday life, and go from there. Hope that helps! Thanks a lot for watching and taking the time to leave a comment as well! Cheers 🙌🏼✨

@@Jorge-Perez thank you very much Jorge! I think yours is the answer that most clearly made the choice ... I actually underestimated the usability aspect. how important it is to be able to carry the camera around and enjoy it, so ...... thank you very much!

Awesome to hear other people using the camera and enjoying it! I will always prefer or suggest to people to use an actual camera (even if it's in auto mode) vs a smartphone, great job! Also yes, older cameras are built like a truck haha, I would be worried to drop something like a Ricoh GR camera, or a Sony RX100 camera. How's the Hasselblad in comparison? and will you consider upgrading the X-E in the future? Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to share your experiences as well! I appreciate it! 🙏🏼✨

@@Jorge-Perez funny thing is the Fuji attracts comments when on a taverna table such as "nice to see a film camera in use" or "is that a film camera?". Im nearly 60, film was the only option in my yoof! My Hasselblad was made in 1969, equally tough although i dont intend dropping it! And again, it gets quizzical looks, but when i take time to show someone who has never seen one, the view through the top, they are amazed.... Thank you for your reply. Vernon

Well said! I also find the colours from the older fuji cameras a bit more pleasing as well. Great camera, and I'm glad to see more and more people still using it to this day! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and leave a comment as well! Cheers! 😁🙌🏼

This would be comparable, with similar speed and quality. Great camera overall. It's hard for people that are used to faster cameras or smartphones, but if you're currently using the X-pro1, then speed should not be an issue! I definitely recommend it, especially if you find it cheap or at a reasonable price. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts as well! I appreciate it!

Thanks a lot for your kind words! and thanks for watching as well. I hope it was useful or entertaining! ✨🙌🏼

I had to google it to see how it looks haha, Very clean and modern compared to silver. Silver cameras look great when they are new. Use it, create, enjoy it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share a comment as well, I appreciate it! 😁✨

That's great to hear! Thanks for sharing that, I'm glad to hear lots of people still use this camera and enjoy it to this date. How did swapping to the XT series affect you? was it an easy transition? Curious to her what you think. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts! I really appreciate it 🙏🏼✨

@@Jorge-Perez I found it very easy. I have been a Nikon shooter and still have a D750 with an assortment of lenses. However, two years ago, I decided to get the X-T2 after the X-T3 came out, since the price on the older model dropped. at the time, I paid $725 for the body. I don't regret it. When I'm out on a hike, I often have my X-T2 with the 50-140 plus 2X extender to capture wildlife. And to keep my load light, I carry the X100 with the wide angle converter in a vest pocket or back pack when I'm looking for a wider view. Duplicating that with a Nikon system will result in a bulkier and heavier load to carry around all day. Plus, the shooting experience on the X-T2 is just wonderful. Viewfinder is bright and sharp, screen tilts in three directions, focus joystick makes changing focus points quick and easy, lockable dials help to keep setting in place, quick and accurate auto focus, dual card slots, etc. The engineering on this camera is just superb and the images are terrific as well. I could see myself living with the X-T2 for a very long time.

Glad to hear that! As long as you understand the limitations, then you will have a great time, and hopefully get great results for it as well! From my experiences, once you get used to rangefinder-style cameras, and you get used to the OVF, then you'll never go back! 😂 I hope this video was helpful! and I have a couple other videos about this camera, setups, settings etc, so those can potentially help you get started when you receive your camera. Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts as well, I really appreciate it!

Good to hear! popular, affordable and good quality. Gracias por el comentario! 🙌🏽

That is very interesting, how are you finding the differences between the medium format fuji and the aps-c fuji cameras? But yes I agree, some of my favourite photos were taken with the x100 series (T, F, V) and I absolutely love it. Thanks for watching, and commenting, I appreciate you taking the time to do that, Cheers! 🙌🏽😁

Totally agree, This camera is special, still holds up in terms of image quality and usability, and looks cool, to be honest, that matters more than people think. I've been thinking about this for a while, a camera needs a soul, otherwise, it's just a fancy calculator or computer. I hope the video was useful, thank you very much for watching, Douglas. And for taking the time to share your thoughts as well, I appreciate it! 🙌🏼✨

Glad to hear other people have it and use it as well! How's the X100 treating you? thanks for watching and taking the time to share a comment as well! I appreciate it! 😁🙏🏼

That's great advice! I'm thinking of keeping it to shoot manual/optical viewfinder only! And I did not know about the raw button, that makes it a lot easier to use quickly. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment and correct me as well, I appreciate it! 🙏🏽😁

@vin digga, what you are describing as "strange bokeh" is due to leaf shutter limitations! For f/2 max shutter speed is 1/1000 sec, for f/4 it's 1/200 sec and for f/8 you can use max shutter speed 1/4000 sec. This is why all Fuji X100-series have built-in ND filter. It allows you to use wide open aperture in bright conditions :) @Jorge Perez, realy nice video! I own X100F but thinking about getting original X100 for it's IQ and colors. And I think those colors are because of Bayer sensor which was only in original X100 (I think) ;)

Hi Daniel, If you are planning to collect all the x100 then it's a great idea, you might have to spend a little more time and money searching for a mint condition model with no issues and all the accessories, box, etc. But if you already have some of the newer x100, and you don't plan to collect cameras, then maybe you can skip this one. Gracias por el commentario y espero que sea algo de ayuda 😁🙌🏽

@@Jorge-Perez Awesome, Jorge! Thank you so much. Great content.

That's a great deal! I prefer the colours and profiles from Fuji over the Sony ones, and if you are already used to the speed required, then you'll probably learn to like the colours and get it all in camera! Excited to hear what you think of it later down the road! And thanks btw, for watching and subbing, I really appreciate it man, cheers! 🙏🏼😁

@@Jorge-Perez thanks! Keep up the great work. Look forward to more videos ☺️

I just noticed with a previous comment! that makes it a lot easier and friendlier to use as well. Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment as well! I appreciate it 🙏🏽😁

I hear you, the x100t is a great camera, some of my favourite photos were shot with the x100t. In my case I wanted the weather sealing and other features, so it made sense. But we all would be lucky to have ANY of the x100 series cameras. Thanks for watching and commenting! I Appreciate it 🙏🏽😁

That's great to hear! there seems to be a lot of people that bought it when it came out, and still use it and enjoy it to this day! Thanks for sharing, watching and taking the time to leave a comment as well! I appreciate it! 🙏🏼

Great choice! The X-T1 is also pretty good as well. How's the 27mm lens treating you? I'm interested in picking one of these up eventually! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share your thought well! I appreciate it. 🙏🏼✨

Good point. probably a better experience to use the OVF as well. The speed feels slow if you come from an XT3 or x100v like myself. But in the scheme of things, it's not bad at all. Great camera for people getting started or moving from film to digital. I'll be addressing the sticky shutter and other things from the x100 in a future video. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment as well! I appreciate it! 🙌🏼

Like everything in life, the answer is: It depends. My main camera is the X100V, because the sharper/redesigned lens and the weather sealing matter to me. This is the camera that I use for paid work, has to work every time, be reliable, fast and protected from the elements. If you have watched my x100v review then you know exactly what I'm referring to. You could start with something used and affordable, like the x100 or x100s, but you need to keep in mind that although the image quality is incredible, these are slower than some other modern cameras, if you come from newer faster cameras, then that might be a frustrating issue about the x100/x100s. I personally think the sweet spot is between the x100t/x100f. Not everyone needs weather sealing, and not everyone can spend money to get the newest camera out there, the x100t/x100f will be a lot faster than the x100/x100s It all comes down to your mindset and what you intend to do, will this be your main camera? will you take it out every single time you leave your home? are you worried about the weather in your area? are you willing to pay a lot and actually use the camera or will it sit on a shelf most of the time? Hope that helps, thanks for watching and for taking the time to ask a question as well! Cheers! 🙌🏼✨

Good point! the camera's battery is not the best, however, if you only use the optical viewfinder, then the battery will last a LOT longer. Maybe that actually suits you, since you're coming from film cameras with optical viewfinders. I made another video where I talk about it and some settings that benefit film users as well, "Fujifilm X100 Complete Getting Started Guide in 2021" Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences, is great to see people engaging and sharing. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment as well! Cheers! 🙏🏼😁

@@Jorge-Perezso when the camera is in standby but the screen is off, it's possible to spend e.g. a day wandering around the city and doing pictures occasionally? Thanks for the reply! I'll watch the video you mentioned.

Welcome to the community! It does seem like the camera has some sort of status or fame attached to it. But it is possible to find it for reasonable prices. The important thing to consider is that the lens is actually worth quite a bit, it's almost identical to the XF 23mm F2, which costs $449 USD alone. But the quality, portability and results that this camera can achieve are incredible. It's also a great way to downsize your current setup without spending thousands as well. Regarding navigating menus and complicated new cameras. I agree, some brands out there feel like small computers, and although it can be fun to learn how to use that computer, it feels less personal, those cameras feel soulless to me. Hope that helps! Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts as well! Please reach back after you've used the x100 for a bit and have some thoughts to share about it! Thanks! I appreciate it! 🙌🏼😁

Yeah the X100 could totally work! I would get a newer gen one, like the X100S. The original X100 is the very first X camera from Fuji, so it is a little dated compared to other cameras of the same generation (X-pro1, X-E1) An X-E1 might also be a good choice since it's very small, light, has interchangeable lenses and has the first gen X-trans sensor. But regardless, anything will work, If you make it work. Your love for the craft and your skills will speak for themselves if you put in the time and work. Hope that helps! Thanks you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts as well! Keep me posted on what you decide to get! Cheers 😁🙏🏼

100% I think that's the reason lots of people are looking into the x100 and xpro1, those sensors have a special magic to them, not really sure what is it. The x100v is my main camera, but I still love the look and sensor of the older fuji cameras. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts! Cheers 😁🙏🏼

Agreed! The x100 is a powerful tool, the image quality and the results you can get from this decade-old camera are incredible. I feel like it helps us relax and brings out our best, our skills and our love fro the craft is what really matters in the end, but having a camera that helps you relax and not think about the tech and the specs make that process easier for me. Do you still use it and enjoy it? happy to hear other people still have this camera and potentially use it and enjoy as well! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts as well! Cheers 😁✨

That's great, Frank! How's the camera treating you? Once you fully update it, it should run a bit smoother and faster. I have a setup video for that camera in case you'd like to take an in-depth look at the settings! That's a solid price for the condition and the number of clicks as well! That's great! Glad to hear there are people still using the camera, and potentially enjoying it as well! Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts as well! Keep me posted with your experiences and thoughts after you use it for a while! Cheers 😁🙌🏼

@@Jorge-Perez i love it. I actually bought second one for 345 and its flawless and came with fuji hood and 3 batteries

Hi! I think some of the cleaning materials for cars work on the camera as well, As well as the car dashboard too. Something like "dashshine". But please make sure you read all the descriptions before you use them, as some of these CAN damage the camera as well! Hope that helps, thanks for watching and leaving a comment as well! Cheers 🙌🏼✨

@@Jorge-Perez thanks jorge,cheers

Thank you very much! Welcome to the community! How's the X20 treating you? I'm interested to hear your thoughts. The x100 is an incredible camera, a great every day carry and fantastic image quality as well, I'm sure you'll love it. Thanks a lot for watching and subscribing, I really appreciate it! 😁🙏🏼✨

@@Jorge-Perez So the X20 funnily enough is my go to for macro shots. I have a thing about taking photos of flowers really close. It bugs my wife as when we go for walks I keep stopping to take another close up of some flower or another. I have my eye on an X100 now that I hope to pick up this week. I'm going through all your content currently as you're (in my opinion) very watchable. Keep it up Jorge!

Interesting to hear, what's the main thing about the x100s that makes you pick that over the x100? I own the X100V, and it's great, but honestly the sensor of the older cameras have a unique look, some sort of magic sauce that keeps me coming back for more. Thank you for watching! and sharing your thoughts as well, I really appreciate it! ✨🙌🏼

@@Jorge-Perez the X100s just seems easier to use. I think they improved the overall menu structure and it seems like it’s just easier to take pictures. I can’t really say it’s images are necessarily better. Or maybe it’s because my X100s is all black my X100 is silver ;-)

Oh man 😲 you're becoming a camera collector! This is it, I can see it happening already haha. There's nothing wrong with that, this camera is special and a great way to get started on your creative journey. Shooting with intentionality and slowing down are pros in my opinion. And for that price? that's hard to miss. You might end up starting a cleaning and restoration business solely focused on fixing them up, cleaning them up and selling lol. Hopefully reviews like this one can be more helpful to people getting into this camera, and help people see it from a different perspective. Thanks for watching and sharing, Frank! Keep me posted on any other developments 😂🙏🏼

@@Jorge-Perez i actually have a bunch of old compacts. Fuji f10,f11,f30 and about 10 more and my XF1 and XQ2. I was a pocket cam guy but the X100 is so insane especially at 400 iso and under the color and detail are ridiculous
