The Fujifilm X100 series is a modern legend of sorts, loved by many photographers for its unique experience and focus on putting the enjoyment back in the experience of photography. If you are thinking of picking one up for yourself, this great video will give you an overview of all five models in the series to help you decide which is right for you.
Coming to you from Matt Granger, this helpful video will give you an overview of all five iterations in the Fujifilm X100 series and what you can expect from each version. I had an X100S that I absolutely loved for a few years and recently started using the X100V (review coming soon), which is also a fantastic camera. And while the X100V is a very worthwhile upgrade, depending on what you are looking for in such a camera, you may be able to save some money by picking up one of the earlier models. In particular, if you are worried less about having the latest and greatest capabilities and more interested in the simple joy of the experience, I think you can definitely afford to use something like the X100S or X100F. You really can't go wrong, though; they are all fantastic cameras. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
To me, the V would be the only one worth having.
I tried the F after seeing great reviews & hoping for great things (wanting to swap from RX1r II to save some cash), but the lens was criminally poor close up & wide open. Also, video was pretty bad & screen not tilting was a downer.
I though I had a faulty camera until I read about these issues with the lens... the X100 system prior to V should come with a warning of how soft the lens is close up & wide open.
I loved the ergonomics & controls except for the lack of tilting screen, so now with the V, I could imagine enjoying it assuming the close up and wide open performance is decent.
For me it, seems Fuji has made the X100 series finally usable.
