You are so good at this! I hope MPB is paying you very well for your work. If not, you should start your own channel. This truly was one of the best comparisons/reviews/overviews of the Fujifilm X100VI I've seen. And, there are a LOT of them. Thanks for the excellent presentation! And, by the way, you should introduce yourself at the top of the video even if you are presenting for MPB.
Great review, very well presented. I have just received a tele converter lens for my OG X100 which is very dear to me being it was a gift from my late mum. Can not wait to head out and shoot some portraits with it.
Haha that alpine weather change is so typical. I went up a mountain range in Switzerland and saw NOTHING the entire way up and for an hour afterwards. Then suddenly the wind changed and bam, ridiculously gorgeous snowy mountains. When the weather closes in it’s very easy to forget you’re over 1000m up 🙈
It was an incredible difference, and we were so pleased to get some views! Definitely wouldn't have wanted to be up there the first day. Thanks for watching -- Amy
The best X100vi review since 28 Feb! Ok, the mountain and evening scenery does help. I got mine on the 28th, my first X100, in black with the weather kit (although I use a XT5). I'm off to the Swiss Alps too at the end of this week to ski and will take the X100vi in a pouch up the mountains. Thanks for the review, although I suspect that there must have been a few people in MPB who would have jumped at the chance to review a camera in the Swiss Alps! PS, the v vs vi body difference - is it the red on the lever of the v?
Thanks for the great feedback 🙂 Wow that sounds like a great trip for the X100VI! I think a few people would have volunteered, although my hair did freeze solid, so it wasn't all fun! Thanks for watching - Amy
A really enjoyable review, as always, and you’re probably the reason I bought the V when it was released and haven’t regretted it one bit. I can also highly recommend the NiSi filter adapter which fully weather seals the camera and to its benefit it also works with the front cover cap so you can put it on and forget about it. It only makes the lens fractionally bigger but is still better than the more expensive Fuji version which you can’t use the cap with! Additionally, you can also get them with black mist filters 😃
Never tried a Fuji X100, so completely unaware of features and accessories. Does this mean that the camera will be fully weather sealed with the Fuji or NiSi filter adapter, also when the wide angle or telephoto adapters are mounted? Also, I would be really interested in hearing people's opinions about the image quality you get with these adapters on the lens. Thanks for an absolutely lovely review!
@@SilverHalides I’ve never used any of the teleconverters but from what I understand they are very good. The NiSi UV and Black mist filters merely provide filtration and weather sealing whilst keeping the camera true and portable. I like the standard 23mm (35mm equivalent) focal range and for the odd time I need to zoom in I either use the digital zoom or simply crop in post. Fujifilm is my fun camera and I love it for that and imo it’s the perfect travel and street camera, incredibly discrete and truly pocketable.
@@cotswoldphotographers post a link to the right Nisi stuff you have so I can buy it too. I preordered the VI version. I feel like I am paying to much and maybe I should try to get a Sony A7 series for a little more? What do you think? I have never had a professional camera before just toys like gopro and sony rx100!
@cotswoldphotographers That's great to know! Not being able to put the front cap on with the weather-sealing filter and adapter fitted is a little annoying, especially in heavy snow! Glad you enjoyed the review, thanks for watching! Amy
@silverHalides It should be fully weather-sealed with those attached and it was pretty good even without, you just have to be careful with the front of the lens. I was really impressed with the quality of the adapters. There was some fall off in the corners and a very small amount of vignetting in the corners, but I didn't find it to be too distracting. Thanks for watching! Amy
Great video! One other relevant physical difference between the V and the VI is the location of the tripod thread. There's an impression that accessories for the V are all compatible with the VI but anything dependent on the tripod thread may not be lined up correctly, especially accessory grips and cages.
Cogitated for months about this camera and trialled the LeicaQ2. A dyed in the wool Canon man with an armoury of lenses for wildlife. Got the camera on the day it became available and looking forwards to trying it out. A very pretty and well thought out camera. I have the wide angle attachment - but this doesn't work without the optional screw in element.. Great video!
Cracking review, showing plenty of samples and showing the camera being used in its element as a travel/street camera. Really enjoying your videos. What camera was used to film the review?
Very nice sharing/review. I hope my preorder coming sooooon. Supposingly I didnt get mine with the first batch. Love your background music, very entertaining! Subscribed!
Great review, and great job by Fuji regarding the weather sealing! I love my Sony cameras but I would NEVER shoot them in these conditions without a rain bag 😂
Sadly, Fujifilm isn't releasing a 23mm F2 Pancake for X-Mount, because then...the whole X100 would become obsolete, easy as that. 🙂 Original X100 owner here. But i'd get the Voigtländer Ultron 27/F2 before summer, to mount on my X-E2.
There doesn't seem to be one on the cards, but I'm not sure it would become completely obsolete. I feel like people would still enjoy the limitation, the forced use of the lens rather than having the option to change. I owned the original X100 too, it was such a great road trip camera! I guess we'll never know until we get a pancake (hint hint Fuji). That Voightländer will be awesome on your X-E2! Thanks for watching - Amy
I’ve not seen a single reviewer using a half case ? It would be nice if Fuji would add additional strap holes /lugs so that the strap could be attached so that it would hang in a portrait orientation when over the shoulder . It can be quicker that way to reach for it if you see a potential opportunity
Could you please travel to a hot place, and test it? Thank tou for freezing yourself and test the camera. Your photos looks amazing. The snow and the place are stunning ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! That's a hard question! Money no object, the Q3 is the best camera I've tested in its class for a very long time. However, does it offer enough over the X100V or X100VI (which are also brilliant cameras)...? I'm not sure it does. I know I would personally shoot more freely with the X100 series, I'd certainly be more cautious with the Q3 - which means that for me personally, I might not get quite as much out of it. Image quality wise - yes the Q3 is first rate. But it's everything else around it that will sway people one way or the other. In short, I am on the fence currently! Thanks for tuning in! Amy
nice video, a pitty MPB was buying X100V for 800 euros in December 2023 and still reselling them today for around 1900 Euros!!!!.... that kills a bit the seriousness of the company. When are you planning to stop this price abuse of second hand X100V????
After watching your video i have one question, do you have a very warm hand? Seriously..i have x100f, i took it to hokkaido last winter. Everytime i hold my camera, my hands were freezing because of that metal body. But you seems didnt feel a thing? how did you do that???
I tried one today here in Chengdu the ibis takes the camera to the next level. I'm currently on a waiting list hopefully I can get one soon. I only have on question for Fujifilm Sepia why?
I only just noticed the grip difference reading these comments! I MEAN, I knew along... The front switch is bit I noticed! What do you think of the tiny changes? Amy
Not for a while but we normally see new cameras about 6 months after announcement on average. Perfect timing for winter sun and fairy lights! Thanks for tuning in! Amy
At 8:12 you say it's "not the best ever fixed lens camera." What would you say is the best fixed lens camera? Leica Q3? If so, it's also much heavier and costs over 3x as much, so for most people something like that is not feasible.
You guess correctly. Money no issue - the Q3 is exquisite. But for almost everyone (including me) what it offers over this camera for the price just isn't worth it for a lot of shooting. The Q3 is better, but is it £1000's better? That's down to whoever is buying! Thanks for watching - Amy
Great review. I’ve had the money in the bank for this for a while and checked what my v is worth but I still have n’t ordered. From what I’ve seen on other yt videos the resolution on the new 40 mp sensor is no better than the 26, and might even be a bit worse and the at high ISO shown in this video ……… I again think the v beats the vi. I rarely print ……….. and even what I do not particularly big. Please help me before I splash on a Q3 or wait for the Sony RX whatever the number is.
I wouldn't blame you for being tempted by the X100V or the Q3! They're both excellent. I personally love having IBIS, but that's based on my shooting style. I was impressed at the ISO test, the V really performed well! Thanks for watching and hope this helps! Amy
I thought it was excellent! I expected it to be worse in the conditions. I changed the battery once and gave it a charge over night. So 2 days continuous shooting, 3 batteries and for a good portion of the time we were between -2°c and -13°c. Hope this helps and thanks for tuning in! Amy
There is a noticeable difference zoomed right in on a good monitor, but its definitely not huge! The X100V (and some of the other previous models) are still excellent options! Thanks for watching - Amy
I think you're right, I didn't even spot that! Had to go back and have another look. I was talking about the viewfinder switch (slight) redesign. Thanks for tuning in! Amy
It is more obvious on a nice big display, zooming right in to the high resolution files, but I get your point. For a lot of people that upgrade won't be a reason to go for the VI, and they might want to go with the V instead. The ISO test's outcome was interesting too! Thanks for watching - Amy
I don’t get it. You went on and on about Fujifilm color science and then threw all that color science out the window and just edited the Raw files anyway. • Pro Tip: Did you know you can keep the originally recorded film simulations on your Raw files when you edit them in Light Room? I believe only Fujifilm cameras support this feature.
Colour science apply's to RAW images too. The way sensor's are designed and the Raws are processed in camera before reaching your card is all part of that. In an environment with so many challenges in terms of dynamic range, I wanted to shoot and edit Raw files most of the time. But it is nice to know that you have the freedom to instantly share jpegs which look great from the Fuji range, because of their great colour science. Thanks for watching - Amy
Got to take the risks so you guys can see how it performs! Plus we had the front cap, converters and the weather-sealing kit with us as well...so not too risky. On a positive note, it did survive! Thanks for watching - Amy
