To comply with social distancing, I would recommend shooting street photography only with an 800mm f/5.6 prime.
To comply with social distancing, follow Kai’s strategy of talking loudly about cocks, erections and making sex jokes in public so people will always keep at least 3m of distance from you.
E ..from a moving car.

Actually borrowed an 800mm mirror lens from a friend recently, might be time to get it out for some street shooting! Sticking it on an MFT camera just in case.
Kai: "Camera a bit too wobbly without stabilization"
Also Kai: *Holds camera 1 handed while trying to film with another camera*
Nice to see this man with an actually nice haircut.
it seems you fancy to have one

Really good comparisons Kai, I enjoyed that!
2:34 that dude in the back is feeling it
nobody lmao
we must find him and make him the face of bringing us out of this quarantine crisis
I haven't seen Kai in so long, since the digitalRev TV dayss, its so nice to come back and see he's still killing it
The Fuji is beautiful, but I have a GRii and can’t imagine a better camera. I use or for everything - even astrophotography! It’s a brilliant camera that easily fits in a pocket. If I could only keep one of my several cameras, it would be the GRii.
I really am loving these videos and the way Kai narrates and how the videos are produced, long with the humour, reminds me if Top Gear did a show on cameras.
Noo... you ruined it. You made me realise he's just been ripping off Top Gear all these years.
@@audioupgrades the intonation
For me personally,
Fuji X100V:
1 Built-in Flashlight
2 Appearance
3 Viewfinder
4 Color - Film Filter
Ricoh GR3
1 Pocketable Size
2 Built-in Stabilization
3 I already have it for a while so I cannot return.
Funny punch line
Love the new haircut Kai!
I love your honest reviews! Thank-you!
Thank you for all your wonderful videos!!! Love them all!!!
Always posting great videos Kai, I have been a great fan of your work for a long time. You have a great way of presenting things, because you have great personality and charisma. Keep up the good work man! I have a youtube channel but I need to do more with it. If you are ever in Louisville Kentucky, they have some decent parks here to photograph!
legendary reviewer back in action!
Kai and Joe! I’m so happy right now seeing two of my fave photographer youtubers together
Very entertaining and informative. Thank you both
I adore the sexiness of the Fuji immensely, but the practicality of the GR III has won me over. It is so darn small, sharpest of lenses and stabilized for night photography (where it simply excels).
The 100S was my first foray into the Fuji world. Now the Fuji X series are my go to cameras for work. Very tempted by the 100V but really cannot justify it.
Wait aren't they too slow for work
@@armaanbelim3188 Depends on what your work is.
this thumbnail is beautiful, reminds me of DigitalRev days
Great video Kai, I bought the X100V after trying it in London last month. A big difference from my A7II. Love both.
Can i get more details on pros and cons between the cameras that you have. Im actually considering between the two if you could believe that!
Phenomenal video, Kai!
LOL, didn't know you had a collab with Joe Allam. Love his channel, and you succeeded in bringing out his goofy side. As expected of Master Kai :D
i like the x100v's hybrid viewfinder and less wide focal length, plus its probably overall the better camera but the ricoh has the size advantage and is maybe more fun as you will take it with you more often
Well done for salvaging some of the footage - Glad those ridiculous outfits didn't go to waste! 😏 I know the X100 isn't a big camera, but whenever I see it next to the Ricoh, I'm reminded just how incredibly small the GR is!
Slips right in, as you say 😉. The GR III is a gem but I absolutely have to have the X100V!
@@KaiManWong not the same price
I love the lens hood you have on the X100. Where did you get it?
So this is a point and shoot camera or dslr?
@@marcusaurelius2988 It’s a mirrorless camera with a fixed lens, the same sensor and quality as an interchangeable lens camera tho.
Great review! Thank you
Thanks Kai this is something I have been thinking about.
You know what I like more than the Fujifilm X100V?
Kai's new haircut.
Yesssss.
kai and joe in one video with a fujifilm camera. this seems like all i ever wanted
I have a Fujifilm x10 and a Ricoh 8.1 megapixel GR digital cameras.
I love them. Got both for £200.
I love the zoom on the Fuji and the little pop up flash on the Ricoh.
man your speech is sooo funny i love the way you talk and review it
Looking dapper, Bravo!
I legit LMAO'd when I saw a comment in Kai's Instagram... "This looks like a Fisherprice camera"
The leaf shutter + ND filter + built-in flash is incredible. I wouldn't give that up for a ricoh or any other camera!
I want X100V but already have x100T so cannot justify the purchase.
You realize the GR shutter is a leaf one and you also get in camera ND filter. The other versions of the GR also had in built flash.
@@joaodemedeirospamelaleite184 I didn't know that. But there is also the issue of focal length, which is subjective. For me personally I rarely shoot so wide as 28mm
Great vid! Nice Batgirl 🤙🏼
10:22 a wild Nikon tank appeared.
Glad to see GB still is going strong
Kai, you are spot on. I love Fuji. I have several Fuji cameras. I want the X100V so bad, but it doesn't allow me to do anything new. It is too big to carry all the time. That is why I considered and bought the GRIII. It is the camera I have with me. And it's features and quality don't appoint.
You basically convinced me to get this camera. Nice to meet you
Kai, your are a dapper gentleman. Nice sport coat & scarf.
Two of my favorites CZcamsr!
Love your sense of humour.
I really need advice. I have tried the Pen E-PL10 and the 14-150mm lens. While the quality and clarity of the photos was brilliant (for me), I realised I would rather a camera you dont have to change the lens. I found them awkward. Loved the camera otherwise. But my main worry was that i would not have support from Olympus next year as they are selling on. So i now am looking for a camera again with the same specs, (good stabilisation as i have a bit of a tremor in my hands, close up photos, good zoom but with good quality when using zoom, but good night shots too, 4K Video, tiltable touchscreen etc etc. I also liked the fun things that the PEN E-PL10 did ie. like ART, SCENE, PANARAMA, FIREWORKS etc etc. I do not understand all the jargon. Only owned point and shoot before but wanted to do better photos day and night and video. That's why the PEN was good. Worried about Sony as i read may also sell out but dont know if true. I would spend say up to about £900. I may be asking the impossible for this, but do you have any suggestions please? I really do need advise.
Nice video, about the stabilization i think that a camera for street photography dont need it for several reasons. Ergonomics, pocket size, weather resistence or even flash is something more valuable.
good review as usual
After seeing all the reviews, I finally purchased one to use it as my daily pocket camera to take pictures of my two kids. I have been using Sony a6300 series for quite sometime, but I wanted something smaller. First of all this is not a small camera, and the "improved" autofocus is very clunky, noisy, and hunts a lot (compared to my a6300). It wasn't quick enough to focus my kids running around. Just did not work for me. But its film simulation and jpegs are far better than what you get out of Sony. The optical viewfinder is something to try and may use for a couple of days before switching to the amazing evf. Returned it and got a Sony RX100 VA. Cheers.
Mike Winifred which camera are you talking about though?
Mcnuggets X100 V
Nice GMT Master II there Kai, tasty
I have both. Although I carry the GRiii in my pocket daily, I use the X100V more. I prefer the 35mm over the 28mm field of view. The X100V is an overall better shooting experience. I did shoot some test video yesterday with it in 4K and F-Log. It is not a camera I would use for video often but it is nice to know it is cable of doing so if needed.
A year later, do you still use and prefer the x100v more? I have a GR3, and love it, but I have to admit I have been eying the x100v lol. The 35mm equivalent lens, flippy screen, and EVF are quite enticing. But, the simple fact that my GR3 easily fits in my pocket and produces amazing quality images, makes me wonder if eventually the larger form factor of the x100v will become a hinderance after the honeymoon phase is over lol.
@@dostacosmotos2554 i love the GR3 but I reach for the X100V more when I’m going out. The flip up screen comes in handy for street photography. I also like the user interface better.
What I like about GRIII is you don’t even have to look at the screen for a shot.
Just get your settings right
You were the first photography channel I subbed to back in the early DR days. I love that you’re heading back in that direction with your content. A good mix of out there practical shooting, you just need to show us some files again a and keep up your signature humour 👌
Sir Kai.
Thanks for review.
I spent last year traveling and realized my a7iii setup sucked for long term (and ultralight) travel, especially annoying when shooting in rural parts of southeast asia... nobody wants to point a bazooka 24-105 f/4 at someone there. So, in preparation for resuming travels next year or whenever the plague lifts, I have been looking into this camera and the rxr1 ii (preferably iii but no news on that front). I think this works better for me- lower profile and the VF is integrated instead of a wonky popup. Also almost 1/3 the price so if I lose it or it gets damaged its not as much of a pucker factor.Thanks for the review, the GR III is interesting and Daido is great but I'm certainly not him.
love it!
Nice jacket. Looks really soft and warm.
I figured the flip up screen is designed for discreet street photography with camera hanging around waist. So the flip up is good, and the tab at the bottom makes total sense.
Both cameras are rad, I just sold my 100f..while I decide what route to take next my pentax q7 with the standard prime is my go to! :)
Gee, you demonstrated the flippy screen's flippiness with no prior warning. I had conniptions! And then there is that horrible gap on the side. A dollop of Shoe Goo, finished with a bit of black Sharpie ink, would make short work of that. It was great that this video came out today. Quite a relief from watching all the terrible news. Stay safe and keep the videos coming!
It's nice to see kai has a taste on taking true street photography photographs
I think you once did a similar kind of thing on old Dig Rev, but can you do a video on photography ideas while being locked up in your own house... you know, due to some coughing
The leaf shutter on the Fuji comes in very handy if you do flash
My dream camera from now on for sure
thanks i literally have one in a box debating on returning it so i’ve been waiting for your review. hi from california!
I would have preferred interchangeable lenses to a flippy screen and video capabilities. Nothing crazy just an option for something a little wider or touch longer, but no not the tcl & wcl, or how about a film option. People fixate that the chosen path is the only path. The V is better than the F (and I don't doubt Kai's judgement) but how about a V which is different to the F.
you are still making me laugh years after first dicovering you Kai :]
If I had to choose between these two I would go for the Ricoh. The small size makes it easier to carry when you do street photography and that's something I really appreciate.
Ricoh needs a viewfinder and a flippy screen for candid shots, and then will be the perfect street camera. Until then it's perfect for snapshots in the street.
I'd go for the X100V, but in black. The silver is beautiful, but I would prefer more stealth. I have the X100 original version, and it is a killer camera.
Kai, I would kill for your digs in this video. Who makes that godly grey coat?
Fanks 😉
If the X100V have the d-pad I would buy it with no question. I would rather not having the weather resistant or the flip up screen to exchange for the d-pad. Because I feel very useful to setting film profile, white balance and etc on my X-Pro2. What do you think about it.
2 wishes for firmware: Digital Image Stabilization for VIDEO. so I don´t mind an add. 1.2 crop but please clean up the micro jitters. and add the ND filter feature to video too. it can´t be that hard... the rest of the camera is amazing!
Mine arrives Sunday!!
OK, mine arrived one day late, but at least I have it now. Now I just need to learn how to use it. The variety of settings is amazing.
Uhhh, where did you get that fabulous thunder cat sweatshirt? :D Oh, great comparison video Kai! Thank you.
the ovf looked pretty sick, i wish there were more videos revolving around the OVF.. but a lot of people are shooting with the EVF
Yes me too ! If actually they could make a version without a evf, that would might come cheaper! Who knows
I owned the X100V and the Ricoh GR3 side by side. The GR takes better images. Has nicer colors. To me at least. The V has a nice body. But I still don’t get the budget cuts on the EVF and the sensor a 1500 bucks camera has. I sold it. Kept the GR. Supplemented it with a ZV-1. Still money left.
I felt the same way about my Leica tl2 and gr3, so sold my gr3. 🙃🙃 Gr3 is way more pocketable though, but the Leica tl and the 18mm (used) you could probably get for the same price as a gr3 these days. I recommend the t system because it just opens the door to Leica lenses which are just next level colours compared to gr imo. Low light… the gr3 is better though because it has ibis.
I’ve a T, 2 F’s and now a V. Love them all and used the built in ND filter all the time. Here’s something I’ve discovered but heard no one mention: the 3stop ND was perfect.
Shooting in bright afternoon light wide open at ISO 160, I get the red, 2000+ SS warning, but when I turn on the 4stop ND the SS drops to between 160 and 250.
That’s much too slow and NOT a versatile range. Have that at only f2.8. As I said, at 3stops this would have been a SS around 360-500. Does anyone else wonder why Fuji upped the ND filter to 4stops? Every talks like this is an improvement. What am l missing?
Love your work. I was hoping this vid will sway me one side or the other..but...but...it seems i should have both..D:
Someone: double O .....
Kai: Codpiece, James Codpiece
His middle initial is "M". Coincidence? I think not.
Other than the OVF, is there a reason to get this one if you have an X-T2?
Love my X-T2, still battling audio issues though. High sound levels, even with an external microphone, just don't work. I wonder what Fuji were thinking with the super limited control over the levels. Using it for concerts with a Rode Videomic Go is just impossible
Great camera. I still have the first x100. Loved it but have since moved on to other cameras. Nowadays, I appreciate IBIS. So, when Fuji put stabilization system in future x100 iteration, I will have a serious look at it.
Not possible in that form factor.
@@johnnynighthawk156 how is it not possible when the GR is smaller and has IBIS? Also, Olympus cameras are smaller and have 5 axis IBIS.
Nice video as usual! I had the X100F. A great camera for sure, but large enough that I usually still needed a bag to carry it around. Now I'd probably go with the GR III just based on size. Maybe once it drops in price a decent amount I'll check that one out.
Scott Waldron i dont see that happening the gr2 went back ip in price for some reason maybe because of the fanbase
@@doeunsama5375 Oh? That's too bad. I haven't looked at prices.
Great video 👍🏻 both are great camera and it is really difficult to choose. However, would you please share me a video link of a guy that have his unique stylre of shooting picture with ricoh gr iii to me? Thx Kai 🙏🏻
One good reason for why I won't buy this camera is that I am still loving my X100t.
It is my go to camera these days
X100s here, awesome camera, Awful video but that’s not what these cameras are for right?
Neat-looking lens hood on the X100V - wonder where it comes from?
That's the most truthful opinion about stabilisation.
@9:02 Nice Batman GMT ;)
2:35 that man seized the opportunity
Ok, just started the video, and i have bought one. OKEY, now let's watch :D
Kai's Batman has got me feeling poor. Great video as always.
lol I noticed it too!
that's it, Kai, you're the next James Bond!
0:44 A gaggle of wild New-Yorkers appeared!
what about:
1) battery life if left constantly On? I remember my Fuji would eat through 2 batteries and still not go on a full day
2) delay between button press and shot. The Fuji doesn't have any, does the Ricoh?
3) can you set either cams to a pre-set focus distance quickly without looking at the screen/viewfinder - like you could on film cams - and shoot it?
I really like that X100V. I Think I need to trade in my X100F, I was never in love with the softness of that lens. On the other hand, I really like the D-pad on it... Also, AF looks much improved!
Softness of the lens!? Do you really have a X100F..? Its lens is razor sharp. (Only, and really only at f2 at short distance. But who will use the camera at that distance and only at that aperture)
@@LokkieF I use the x100f a lot at f2 and at short distance when doing portraits. I also like background separation, so would prefer to use f2 when available.
I have a question. Did Fuji change the colours on this one? I've been looking at samples and think the colours, particularly skin tones, look less like the clean X100F and more like blotchy Sony A6x00. I'm a Sony user, so I'm used to redoing colours but the whole point of Fuji is to get usable colours straight from camera.
Like your new haircut. You look good.
Great content. Would you please share what lens hood is on that x100v. Thanx in advance.
Nenad Spasojevic it’s called SquareHood Mkii. Not cheap but lovely hoods. squarehood.se
could you do a video of night photography with this camera or if its even good for night photography? love the vids.
Good review... Not all jokes with no technical information, like some earlier vids.
Hey that's me in the red shirt lol!
Kai's brown eye uses a Nikon!!!
Very great camera. Should fit our new Tech & Trek Sling.
This guy is super hilarious & humorous!!! A rarity.
Hi Kai. I think the Fujifilm XF10 is the camera to compare to the Ricoh GR III. The XF10 has also a 18,5mm (28mm in 35mm terms) lens. They would be closer. I am waiting for a X100V, but I really like the little XF10.
What's that strap you use on the fuji? It looks awesome and probably comfortable?
