Ever since the purchase of my X100V, I’ve been a bit of a Fujifilm fan boy. There’s something about this brand of cameras that really ignites creativity in a way that none of the other camera brands do for me. The other camera brands simply feel like only tools. I own both Sony and Canon cameras and they’re totally great and always deliver great quality but I’m never excited to use them. Fujifilm on the other hand inspires me to get out and create. Basing this feeling on the X100V is a little unfair because of how beautifully designed that camera is. It’s essentially a “poor mans Leica”. It’s a light weight, fix focal length, walk around camera that’s perfect for any scenario. It’s hands down the best camera I’ve ever purchased.
As of recently, I’ve been thinking about upgrading from my 12 year old Canon DSLR to something mirrorless. The X100V is mirrorless but it’s not a work horse. It’s basically a “street photography” camera. I need something that’s great at both stills and video. During this years Fujikina, I got to test out their latest XH2 and XH2s. I really hate tech reviews but essentially their same camera but one is better for photo and one is better for video but they’re both extremely good at both. The pictures below are from my X100V taken of models from Fujikina. Fujikina is Fujifilms yearly trade show held in NYC where they show the work of Fuji photographers, panels with Fuji creators, workshops, photo walks and more. There are ample models walking around for the day so you can test out different cameras. By the time I was ready to book a walk around session with the cameras, they were all booked so I used the time to have my own photoshoots with my own camera. Enjoy.
