I’ll hang on to my beloved X100V…for now. This new guy looks very cool though. Looking forward to seeing a long term review from you, and really looking forward to hearing if it is worth the upgrade.
I think you've got some super valid points! I hope more people are able to get the X100 series in their hands, empowering them to take more great photos!
I have a weird suspicion that many will be posting photos *of* the camera rather than taking photos *with* the camera. And then re-selling for profit if demand keeps up.
@@TWEAKER01 It’s probably true, the same happens with sports cars and watches. Theres just as many people out there who will shoot photos and get their use out of it
You nailed it - there is no way they are going to make enough of these cameras. I placed pre-orders at 3 stores to hedge my bets. I sold my 100V for $2,200 6 months ago and I can see this new one retaining it's value for many many years.
I was never able to get a hold of the V so I went ahead and preordered last night because I had a feeling this version would experience a similar demand
Regarding availability, I wonder if that's what is behind their moving production of the X100VI from Japan to China. Might shorten some supply chain issues and costs.
Yeah, I get selling things at market value but some of the resellers were asking ridiculous amounts for the X100V. I considered selling mine but figured that was sort of “insider trading” haha
They went to people who can’t stop gushing obsessively over Fuji. Benj calls it like he sees it, good and the bad. A fixed lens camera isn’t anything to write home about anyways, especially at that asking price.
I haven’t seen them all, but I got advanced units on things early on with this platform when others didn’t, so I’m more than fine with smaller channels getting a chance. Even mine is relatively small in comparison to others.
My first thought was to pre-order, but I decided not too. I'm going to wait a bit and see more reviews. TBH, my card is maxed with all this new camera gear LOL
I'm with you. I don't see how this one will keep up with demand, both for this camera specifically, and lingering demand for the X100V. For anyone that has an X100V, I don't know that this is a compelling update, unless you're just looking to add a second X100-series camera to your bag, or your X100V is well-used and due for replacement. I was sort of holding out hope that Fuji would surprise us with a titanium build (a la XPro3) and durablack/durasilver coatings as this camera really lends itself to that enhanced build being that it's commonly a 'take everywhere' camera for those that use it. I think the 40mp sensor is... fine. I used the XT5 for a little bit and I found the 40mp files to have a sort of clinical feel to them that I didn't love. Maybe it was just me being nitpicky, though, and it was a placebo effect of swapping between my XPro3 and the XT5 where I was really used to that sort of organic feeling from the XPro3 images. IBIS is a great addition for those that like to shoot in low light on the streets and want to keep that ISO down. It's never been an issue for me to shoot any of my Fuji cameras at 1600 or 3200 ISO, but I know for some, shooting at very low ISO is a big deal. I just sort of found this camera release to be a little bit lazy. An evolutionary upgrade to an already excellent camera that I think could have been a more revolutionary upgrade, especially considering the slightly higher price point. I know it's not the same form factor, etc., but at $1600, I'd probably be tempted to just go for the readily-available XT5 and a couple of small primes.
I got my X100V back in November. Love it. I see no reason to upgrade. Yes the resolution bump is great but as a person that hasn’t even really had a professional point and shoot, I can zoom in pretty far and it’s still clear. I’ll wait for the X100VII in 3-4 years haha.
With pre-orders sold out, and a second round of allocations "shipping April" buyers here will be lucky to receive by May. And that's not accounting for any manufacturing faults or early firmware issues. Or even being able to try one out first. So I'm not even breathing in, let alone holding my breath.
I find the increase in price to be fantastic if they can leverage some of that fashionista money to subsidize or keep the price down on the X-T50 or whatever they’ll call the baby X-T this generation.
I am personally sticking with my x100v, the x100vi has nothing compelling for me. I would have been more interested in it if it had the 26MP stacked sensor and X-Processor 5
I want to see a Fuji X-E5 with 40 megapixels sensor, IBIS (which locks when turned off) and a 5.8 mega dots EVF with very good magnification. I also want to see a Sony APSC Camera with the 40 megapixels sensor !
I think the advantage the X100VI has is cost & the size of the lens being so so flat. X100VI can fit in a larger pocket where the A7CR isn’t going to give you that. Not that $1600 is cheap, but I’m also much more likely to hand that camera to others and not worry about getting dropped or bonked around.
Hello, and thank your for your very good contend. I really doing me hard in understanding the hype of this camera. For me a better camera is no longer available, the XE-4. So i have to stay with my XE-4.
The price increase makes a lot of sense. USD had such a bad devaluation over the last 4 years (when the X100V released) if you look at the inflation, the camera is actually cheaper now than it was back in 2020...
Was definitely a disappointment to not get any upgrades even if they kept the size the same. The processor is more efficient so even with IBIS they’re claiming slightly better performance, but it’s still an issue of sorts.
Agreed on the shipping. Maybe instead of “should you” - more like “can you.. upgrade” - Im a regular joe schmo that preordered this and was told that the expected delivery date is June, 2024. So, not gonna hold my breath and have to live vicariously through CZcams.
Bought an X100V a couple months ago for $1400 and its near-mint. Very happy. Made in Japan. More than enough MPs at 26. Would never need IBIS on a fixed 35mm lens camera that I always have at 1/100th or higher. Oh, and when indoors at night that's when the beautiful flash comes into play, not 1/30th shutter speeds.
The new camera is made in China and not from Japan like the previous models. It will probably meet demand... But shouldnt it be cheaper for being made im China? Like by a lot? They easily could have sold this for 1400$ if they wanted.. And the x100vi feels like a filler for not being able to sell enough x100v kinda.
The only reviewer who doesn't think the lens is sharp enough for the new seansor is Matt Granger. Gordon Laing showed side by side comparison to the X100V and it looked the same to me at 100%.
Used x100v are going for $1450 for used in good condition and more for excellent and like new condition right now lol most like new ones are going for the 1600 new x100vi is shipping for
Hahaha...i hope you will find someone from Nikon, who can get you ZF for test...it's really a great camera...and with techart adapter, lots of manual lenses can be used with autofocus.....i really hope nikon will introduce luts in camera, like panasonic...that would be great for photographers who want something simmilar as film simulations in fuji. :)@@benjhaisch
@@benjhaisch I pre-ordered the silver as well cause it’s my first Fuji and all my other cameras are black but damn does the black x100 look like a sleek edc.
Personally I prefer sticking to Latin if we're calling the X100V (vee), the X100VI should be -V-I (vee i), not 6. Nice camera though, wish my V had IBIS and higher res, but wouldn't upgrade just yet, maybe the -V-II
Good afternoon, I am also a photographer and videographer. Say please? Which is better for photos and videos: SONY XPERIA PRO-I or the new SONY XPERIA 1V, 5V models, please advise, tell me which one to take? Thank you very much in advance!
Bought my x100v in Germany when it was released for 1399€, for the x100vi they now want 1799€. That it’s going to be more expensive was expectable but that increase only happened because they know the hype and know that people are going to pay it in my opinion
I mean isn't 40mp with IBIS self explanatory?... 40mp needs IBIS or it is absolutely dumpster fire. Unfortunately not a new lens... Would have been better than 40mp
Price increase in australia is putting this beyond reach - it’s an increase of something like $600 - outrageous. You can bet their production costs have decreased with Chinese manufacturing.
As an x100v user since spring 2020 I am a bit... underwhelmed by the successor. also the crops in 4k/60 are strange. I am actually considering jumping ship and getting an a7cR. there are also jpeg recipes available and lightroom can reproduce fuji colors on sony raws. on the other hand, the sony bodies look not as inspiring as the fujis do. the usual dilemma ;-)
After selling my Q “dad” camera, Im trying to find another daily for my upcoming Disney trip. If I could get a good daily lens for my r6 I would. Ive had the x100f, xpro2, and xt3. My sights were set on the VI but I miss my Q, and I just really love the extra light gained by fullframe. Now Im either gonna get the Nikon ZF because the sheer amount of lenses or just splash out on a Q2😂. Ive got two months to decide….maybe Canon will open the mount.
Now that the Nikon ZF (love mine so yes some bias but came from Fuji) is a thing Fuji needs to step their game up. Same screens as four years ago, one UHS1 card slot in 2024? Same poor battery. Now creeping towards the $2k mark. Really feels like a cash grab from Fuji knowing how popular the series has been. I know the ZF is more an XT5 contender but really mean Fuji can’t just ride the vintage aesthetic bus as their main driver. If Nikon really wants to go all out would love a fixed lens ZF meets Q3 camera.
This camera has become rediculously expensive. Fujifilm reseached the price of a used x100v and they though: If an x100v retails on the used market for $1400 we then could charge $1600. I find it a disgusting move by Fuji. This thought is also underlined by the fact that this camera has recycled components such as the sensor and lens. Forget about the new hinges of the lcd or firmware. Additionally Fujifilm is saving on labour costs by manufacturing the camera in China and no longer in Japan. In my opinion and based on those facts this camera is let down. The X T5 is cheaper to have and Fujifilm cameras are quite compact.
What i personally dislike 1) Price increase (X100V into germany was into 2020 1399 EUR, into 2022 increased to 1599 EUR), the X100VI is now 1799 EUR (!) 2) Missing the red tip on the viewfinder selector, call me pedantic, but i just dislike it 3) Made in China, no hard feelings, but i do prefer made in Japan, always into contrast 4) I don't need 40 MP, it's technically Overkill, i shoot 35mm SLRs, Rangefinders, also 12/13 MP Fullframe DSLRs, my Sony does have 24 MP, huge files, never need that kind of huge resolution 5) IBIS is a fine addition, but i shoot 35mm focal length for >34 years, and never needed IBIS at this point
Tbh they should objectivly charge less for a made in China product but Fujifilm knows that they will get the sweet sweet money anyway. The production is cheaper than the x100v.
Yeah, as much as I think this camera is good at that price point I’d go with a Sony A7c or A7cii. I know Fuji film simulations are great but not sure I’d pick this up personally.
@@Geert890But how would you expect proper quality control if they immediately get sent over from China to the market?.... They are not planning to stop by in Japan and as far as I know Fujifilm only gave clear instructions and actually "didn't" send any professionals over to China for a in person inspection. And in comparison they are not put together by hand like the x100v. Fujifilm tries to sell as many x100vi as possible and that's the whole vibe they give off.
@@catlike1So they chose profit over a good quality product? What a surprising move from a company xD they chose money over reputation? Whaaat?! Lol They even charge more for a Chinese product than the x100v xD Even though production value should be sliced in half.
Wowowow yeah some of the pricing outside of the US is always so confusing. I believe a direct comp would be what, 2500AUD? I think 1789AUD would be far lower than the X100V price in the States too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Agreed entirely - the price increase has pushed the camera into a different layer in Australia. The hype pushed up the x100v price and now profit/greed has seen an absurd price here in Australia. Firm pass for me - I will continue with my x100t.
Pre-Order Here: geni.us/bYeO

I thought it was a good time to pick up one of the older X100 cameras
Just picked up an X100S for cheap, and so far I'm having a blast with it
Regarding availability, I wonder if that's what is behind their moving production of the X100VI from Japan to China. Might shorten some supply chain issues and costs.
I'm just happy I get to watch worms trying to sell used V's for 2500cad come up losers now that the VI is on release.

I haven’t seen them all, but I got advanced units on things early on with this platform when others didn’t, so I’m more than fine with smaller channels getting a chance. Even mine is relatively small in comparison to others.
Fuji knows it’s hard to conquer back someone who keeps touching Leica on a daily basis. So i guess they just gave up 😃
Yes ! We should !

B&H has a ton a pre-orders I’m assuming because it can still be ordered. Not sure how they intend to fill them all.
They usually just do the preorders in order of they receive them....
Interesting take from a Matt Granger review of the VI. He basically reckons the lens isn’t up scratch with the new sensor, apart from that it’s great.

Even my wife, who studied in Japan, was perplexed. Shes not a photographer, but just applied common sense😂
Making them in Japan was one reason they couldn't make enough of the X100v to satisfy demand. I think that's why they moved production to China.
@@catlike1So they chose profit over a good quality product? What a surprising move from a company xD they chose money over reputation? Whaaat?! Lol
They even charge more for a Chinese product than the x100v xD Even though production value should be sliced in half.
when im gettin rich im gonna get that camera, get rich or die tryin
Fuji has gone crazy for $$$$$$$$ 2899AUD.? The V was 1789AUD before the hype! No thanks! I’ll stick to my Xpro3!
Wowowow yeah some of the pricing outside of the US is always so confusing. I believe a direct comp would be what, 2500AUD? I think 1789AUD would be far lower than the X100V price in the States too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Agreed entirely - the price increase has pushed the camera into a different layer in Australia. The hype pushed up the x100v price and now profit/greed has seen an absurd price here in Australia. Firm pass for me - I will continue with my x100t.
Wow, unnecessary video.
Thank you for your contributions.
