Join me on a walk in Soho New York as I take the Fujifilm X100S around to show you what it’s like shooting with a 10 year old camera in the year 2024.  / robes.eye robesdornagon.com
For all 2.1k of you that tuned in to watch this - I have to ask, what did you guys like about the way I shot this?! Was it me talking? The subject? Me walking around? Examples of the images?
The issue for me with the original X100 and X100s was the speed of the auto focus. The files were great from the start--you could print big with X100, but the auto focus was very slow. . .
I, too, have 5 bodies, to include the X100S. My newest body is the X-T30 II, the others are the X-T1, X-T2 and X-H1. I love the X100S for the compactness and ease of use, all-in-one factor, plus, I shoot only jpg's with it, process them in Capture One Pro Fujifilm. Yes, I do mess up a few shots because I am still learning to use it.
I tried/used quite a few cameras. And easy of use matters. I have some weird models, looking at you sigma, with many weaknesses and very few strenghts. There is the big progear. Yes, you get results but at what price! Ordered one of these, hope to make it my daily walk around.
I had the original X100, the S, the F and I got the V a year ago after much effort searching for $2350 on eBay. I will not be getting a VI. . . Hopefully a used Leica M11 next time around. . .
Companies want us to always keep spending for the next model. Over and over again - and for what? I believe our need to upgrade should be relative to how our work evolves.
