14:08 The Vong Song
It has been nearly two months since the release of the Fujifilm X100VI. In this video, Jason Vong shares his experience with the most hype camera of the decade!
Who stuck around for the post-credits? 😂
I went to BiC camera today. No XT100VI to be seen. All the XT-5’s are sold out. I’ve never seen the Xt100V in person in Japan. What can this camera do that the XT-5 cannot?
I need more vong songs please thanks 🙏🏼
d(^-^)b
you need a lens and camera count
U can’t even get this camera
I’ve played around with the Fuji X RAW Studio app a bit, saving custom recipes I already had keyed into the camera, but i did NOT realize that 1) you can input/modify recipes right there in the app, AND THEN 2) upload those recipes to the camera. This makes setting up, testing, and selecting recipes SO much easier! Thanks for that technical insight Jason - brilliant!
You’re welcome! I wasn’t gonna bring it up since it’s not very X100VI specific but figured it would be incredibly helpful anyway. Glad I left it in!
Got mine for a couple of weeks now, and I gotta say it's a fun shooting experience. The fun factor is strong in this camera
I also posted an X100VI video today because we are best camera friends forever. Unfortunately, I did not include an awesome song - always one-upping me!!
I SAW!
man, though I'm a calm guy, I like your style and the clarity in your thinking scheme. Kudos to you! One of the best. Most reviewers are so messy.
Appreciate that!! Thank you!
So it overheats after 2 minutes and it misses focus with a loud focusing motor that sounds like a diesel truck...
I'll take two.
I'm a concert promoter a dj and someone who loves taking random trips around different places such as nyc this is such a great camera for my needs
Bro, the musical ad at the end with original music was so good, I finally subscribed. Great review!
🥹🥹 thank you!
I'm not even a photographer, but I'm so engaged with photography channels that I've forgotten IBIS is also the name of hotels XD
😂😂 every time I see the hotel I’m like “in body image stabilization”
What would be fun is if they actually fulfilled preorders that were made five minutes after the announcement and still have "No idea" when they will be fulfilled, and it's now the end of April.
You're one of my favorite youtubers. Love the videos!
I have to say, this is the best video you’ve made yet.
Amazing editing, style, photos. Thank you
Love your content Jason! Good information here 🙏🏽🙌🎯
Great video Jason! What a little powerhouse of a camera. I’ve used the X100V for pro video work and it slaps! I used it in place of my main camera because it was mostly b-roll and the X100V was smaller/discrete so places didn’t seem to care that I was filming. I’m sure the new camera completely blows it away. Also when is the single dropping 🎧🎶
Coming soon to Spotify and Apple Music 🥹
Great video Jason! How do you compare X100VI with Ricoh Gr3? Which one will you pick if you can only pick one and what is the main reason for that?
I do own both but because the X100VI has all the video features that I got it for, it's the one I will be reaching for the most. GR III is still the lightest and great for purely stills!
Here for the hot shoe hats. Thank you for the hot shoe hats.
Dedicated to Taylor Jackson
Great review and video
Film simulation bracket shooting is pretty awesome. I can get Reala Ace, Accros, and Classic Negative all at once.
What?! First time I'm hearing about this! Does it work with custom recipes? or the stock ones only??
@@JasonVong stock ones only. But hey 3 in one shot and you’re done. 1. Press Drive Delete button 2. Scroll down to ‘BKT’ 3. Use joystick to choose “Film Simulation BKT”
@@JasonVong Stock ones only. 1. Press "DRIVE DELETE" 2. Use joystick to scroll down to BKT 3. Use joystick to choose FILM SIMULATION BKT. Everyone I show Classic Neg, Accros, Eterna are blown away at the unique look. Plus no long times spent editing RAWS. In order to choose the 3 Film Simulations to shoot from BKT you have to go to the camera icon (3rd from the top below AFMF) and go to page 2 and choose "FILM SIMULATION BKT" From there you choose which Film Simulation for FILM 1 FILM 2 FILM 3. That's it.
Can you do a comparison with the Ricoh? That would be very helpful!
love the hotshoe hat! where can i get one!?
would love to hear your thoughts vs a6700 4k120p v 6k? what's more useful?
Taobao!
I hardly film 4K120p since it’s too slow for what we do. 6k offers a lil more flexibility for cropping purposes which we do quite often. Overall reliability though, a6700 wins
Hey Jason nice video there, what do you think about a7c ii compare to X100VI?
Performance-wise a7C II is a lot better in every regards. But X100VI is incredibly fun! Especially if you don’t want to edit! The JPEGs already look so good
Self proclaimed "Sony King" commissions "Frame it Up -Fuji Style" song? This friggin channel is hilarious in it's own unique way. Keep rocking on.👍
Your review is until now the most unique on this X100VI - awesome job both of you! I totally agree, the video features on the X100VI seems something not a lot of users are using, because they see it mainly as photo camera (specially for streets). But it is simply awesome to have these feature in such a small camera.
But the MUCH more important question for me is: how the hell did you managed to get the Peak Design ankers on to the X100VI without the rings? I tried several times and can't do it. It was possible on my Leica cameras, but not on the X100 😅
Thank you! The anchors I used are the ones that actually got recalled by PD because they were too thin. 😅 so they don’t exist anymore sadly
@@JasonVong ok that explains things 😅 thanks man for your reply!
I have a xt30 and yah single shot is awesome. If I miss the shot I never think “if only I had my a7iv” because the fujifilm is really just that fun. Picking up my x100vi from my work in a few weeks as Im pretty lucky and work at a tech store and see everything come through first
I love you guys so much! Finally someone who basically took all the thoughts out is my brain
How did you tread your Peak Design anchors through the tiny rings without using the included bigger rings?
The ones I’m using are much thinner. Unfortunately these were recalled by PD years ago for being too thin. I have a bunch I saved up 😢
My 2 months experience: ebay search for near retail prices, follow-up email on my pre-order, reddit search on x100vi photos, more follow-up email about my pre-order, youtube binge on x100vi videos, google search on whether I should just buy a GR iiix, another follow-up email about my pre-order
Thank you Fujifilm. Best camera ever.
what camera u used to record this vid? :-)
where did you get the hot shoe? I need that!
The lens on this camera is not very good tho. F2 is too soft and it has weird artifacts in the background. Wish they updated the lens. I actually prefer the image quality on the Ricoh GRIII more than my X100VI
Which one would be better to take in 2024?
Photograph or videography Sony a7iii or sony a7c??? One choice??
ND filter plus IBIS comes in clutch when traveling without having to carry around an ND and a tripod for long exposure photography
hey just wondering which version of peak design anchor is that? Mine doesnt seem to fit it
has the new firmware update helped the auto focus?
I am debating between a sony A6400 and a fuji. Though not sure which fuji. For reference I plan to shoot product photography, travel, landscapes, and just and everyday use camera that i can grab and take pictures. Would this fuji be better for my needs or the sony a6400 or another fuji or camera?
why not consider a7c ii? its nearly the same price but u need to spend some bucks for the lens.
@Omtommyom would you consider it light weight and portable? I want something that I don't mind grabbing on the go and actually wanting to shoot with because I don't mind carrying. While also being good quality and that's worth the price.
3:22 wow! What a beautiful photo and composition! Love it!
Thank you! 🥹
I bought it because I’ve found with my film photography that I was taking my 35mm 2.8 lens pocket cameras more than my SLRs and wanted something digital that would do the same. Add in weather sealing, ibis, 40mp… it was a no brainer to replace my Olympus em-10ii.
Hey guy thank you for your video, how you set the peak design anchor without removing ring on camera ? Thanks
The ones I’m using are much thinner. Unfortunately these were recalled by PD years ago for being too thin.
Where did you get Vivian white camera strap?
I'm waiting for my X100VI. I've just seen your comment about autofocus... Is it better than the XT3?
I haven't used the XT-3 before 😭
3:59 i think you’re the only one that talks about this in youtube. Save me a lot of time. Thanks a ton!!!
Jason, how did you manage to get the Peak Design anchors through the camera's lugs?
The ones I’m using are much thinner. Unfortunately these were recalled by PD years ago for being too thin. I have a bunch I saved up 😢
Ah, yes, V3. I tried finding some unsuccessfully, so I'm just using a lanyard instead and hoping it's strong enough. Thanks!
I like the luffy hat on the camera! Where did you get it?
holy chit, the end song...how u do dis?
i agree on AFC focus. so much different from Sony camera. a few photo using AFC ended up back focused photo. i was pretty sure it nailed focus when snap the picture.
Fuji just release a firmware update for X100vi. can u update review the AFC on this camera? initial testing from me was okay. but maybe your testing can be more thorough.
How long a time frame we thinking for these to come back in stock? A few months?
Think years or never. x100v = ebay = poor people Leica
is the IBIS on by default? if not what setting do you do to turn it on
On by default but there are extra stabilizations you can turn on for video
To be honest, isnt getting like a xT-4 great enough? If im gonna spend so much on a point and shoot 😮
Yooo where do you buy that hat accessory for your camera?? :o
we got it from Taobao
Mate, how the hell did you get those peak design anchors on your 100vi? I can’t for the life of me get it in
The studio is crazzzy. I don't even have the camera LOL.
a bit of an off topic question. How did you get the peak design anchors through the ring? I cant seem to get it to fit.
The anchors I used are the ones that actually got recalled by PD because they were too thin. 😅 so they don’t exist anymore sadly
You can try using a thread to pull it thru the hole.
You hands down beat the BBC at being informative and entertaining. Now where can I acquire one of these nifty gadgets?
Ordered some time the end of Feb and I’m still waiting 🙃 I think it was the wrong move ordering on B&H.
Great video! Too expensive, tho. For now I'm gonna keep my Sony A7C+Sigma45mm ;)
Hm think I stick to my X100V don’t see some great differences except for IBIS. The Autofocus is still crappy so nothing new here. But those cameras make me love Fuji more than Sony. Thinking about getting one of there medium format cams.
Cool review, I enjoyed it 😂
Wide AF is actually terrible on this camera, but the rest works well enough for me. Also I highly recommend the official Fuji leather case. It give you just that little bit of extra grip, also around the thumb area.
Loving the X100VI, its my EDC. I've hardly used my X-S10 with lenses after I got it.
Thanks for the suggestion! I will pop by a camera store to see if I can test drive the leather case!
Great Video!!
Do you find yourself shooting in FLOG or FLOG2, and why? Great video!
FLOG during the day and FLOG2 for low light!
@@JasonVong Appreciate it! Do you happen to know what the native ISO is in FLOG? I know it's 1000 for FLOG2, but for the life of me, I cannot find any info on if it's different in FLOG.
@@TacticalCactusMedia 500!
ordered mine on April 7th and still nothing unfortunately D: I can't wait :D
that outro song is legendary man 🤣
2 months later...and I'm STILL waiting! (like many others)
Hmm, I'm surprised by your review as especially for video it doesn't seem like a great choice, I was interested in this camera but from my research:
Outdated lens with loud/slow focusing (audible if recording video), cannot resolve 40MP wide open, 35mm f/3 FF equivalent so no selfies or landscape or wildlife, a bit tight indoors, limited background separation in full body or even portrait, lower dynamic range than an iPhone 15Pro (tested by CINED), poor-ish low light performance, noisy sensor, no flip screen, poor battery life so you have to buy/bring spares (and potentially remove the tripod plate to swap each time), not great for videography (massive crop in 4k60 or 6.2k, awful rolling shutter, no 3.5mm mic input, ports block grip, drop in dynamic range in higher resolutions), subpar autofocus (improved but far from Sony/Canon), slow performance with film simulations, low resolution hybrid evf, no lens hood / ability to add filters / weather sealing / grip without additional costs, etc, etc.
It’s not for me but it is a very pretty camera :) - I had an X-T3 and X-S20 which I loved, but since trying Sony full frame, there's no going back, the jump in quality, usability, convenience is immense and cameras like the ZV-E1 / A7CII can be damn near as small with a compact f/2.8 prime.
I totally agree about screwing on filters but then again unless it's a VND it's usually pointless for video anyway?
Would rather get an A6700 body only and buy a nice lens to go with it.
You are hilarious. Most fun x100vi video on YT. 😂
Ibis is a bird. Am I correct?
Sounds to me as though you bought the original adapter lens. The Mk II versions don’t suffer from the same image degradation. You should be able to pick the Mk II versions for under $300, too.
the song bye the end ahahah
What’s the gold shutter button you’re using?
One Piece! Law's pirate symbol. I got it from taobao
The song at the end!
I just want the hat! Were do I get one?
Please my wallet didn’t need this video 😅
But your heart did
Not like you'll be able to find one anyway lol
The camer is awesome. I cnt wait to shoot street with this amazing little beast.
Now, if only Fujifilm would make this camera available. I’ve been on “notify me” lists since day 1. 😂 I also want this thing for video.
Where are you based? Best Buy “notify me” doesn’t work. It has came back in stock a few times but disappears too quickly. The HotStock app pings users much faster but you also have to be very quick to check out 😅
@@JasonVong I’m in Hawaii, so I just figured since everything is hard to get here, that was why. I’ll take a look at HotStock. Never heard of that. Thanks!
Fujifilm AF has been more or less the same since 2018. It's down there with Leica, but it's not unusable. Just know that you will be getting this camera to enjoy the tactile experience of missing the shot, and you will be less disappointed when it happens. 😂
It has missed focus in AF-C on static subject so many times 😭 but it’s fine I guess. Like you said, less disappointed when it happens.
Is the focus better than the V? Mine is horrible
I don’t think it’s that much better
"Zoomin' Vivian pores" makes me pee my self LOL
when the post credit song will be avail on spotify? 😂
Please tell me that the last Song is from you, brillant 😂
Extraordinary review.
Woah! Where did you get the straw hat accessory?
Taobao
Sony rumored 2024 camera release roadmap is confusing me as a canon user migrating to Sony.
By any chance could u consider helping newbies out with ur sony expertise by making a roadmap video pretty please 🙏
Best X100VI video ever 👍🏽
You forgot to mention the lens shutter, which allows flash sync to 1/4,000 sec, OR the electronic shutter with max speed of 1/180,000 sec! (Yeah, really!)
Recommend some accessories please😁
So I can use the X100VI for a trip to Belize? 😂
Yes because anything can happen when you’re in Belize 🤣🤣🤣
@@JasonVong Very well said, Jason! You can bet on it @sahinger5230!
Jason you should just get a Leica Q3 you will love it
My wallet is hurting a lot so maybe not any time soon 😂 I’m happy with my “Boujie” X100VI
Hahaha if you are able to buy every other thing you can afford a Leica Q3 and you will not need to upgrade yearly . And you don’t save more in the long run ❤
I shoot raw and edit in-camera. It would be better if your edits are shown to you in real time but I would say, stick with it. It's a learning curve and you can definitely get to a level where you know the effect your edits will have without the preview.
If there is a photo I really want to share right away but it needs a minor tweak , I just deal with it. But for the most part, I rather wait til I get home and run it through the desktop app
Having had an x100f for a few year’s alongside my xt3 I decided to preorder the VI, sadly Fuji only supply this camera (like the V) to social media influencers and not loyal customers, as such I purchased a 23mm f2 and stuck it on my xt3, might just he saved myself £1600. Very disillusioned with Fuji, imagine a new iPhone that you couldn’t buy
Bro where the heck did that ending come from
Leica Q2/Q3 still works better for me for stills
What happened to the discord?
f****ingly awesome video, -as usual-
Where’s the straw hat attachment from….it’s sooooooooooo cooooooooooollllllll……I neeeeeed it
I got it from a Chinese site called Taobao
where can we buy this shutter button 😍
Taobao
Thank you very much 👍🏼
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Vong Song :v i really love it -))
Fraaame it up!
Excitable dudes usually annoy the ____ out of me, but I love those guys energy and timing 😀
