Went hiking in the rain and a small creek started forming along the trail. It’s much more muddy when hiking in the rain but need to remember to still go!

@pratik I really enjoy mine. The settings are truly well positioned and easy to adjust. Usually I have a general purpose film recipe loaded like Fujixweekly.com’s Kodak Ultramax 400. I almost never bother with RAW and can adjust them right on the camera if I need to bring out the shadows a bit more. Focus isn’t as accurate as I wish but workable with the wide range of F/#s. I wish the focus switch were a bit easier to adjust. It’s fine for indoors with high ISO. That all said, it’s my go to for important day to day photos around the house and for street photography when I don’t want to be conspicuous. I think it is not worth paying more than MSRP though! I’d consider a new/used 100F. You won’t miss much.
@pratik makes sense! If you do decide to order it, be sure to try out the free Fujifilm XRawStudio app. It takes downloaded to Mac RAW for reprocessing using the 100V. Really handy if you want to change film recipe profiles in post or just use it like Lightroom.
@pratik oh I forgot that the flash is REALLY handy indoors especially as there’s no stabilization. Lets you use lower ISO. I really miss having a built in flash on my X-T5.
@pratik The Fujifilm Cam Remote app will only transfer JPEGs to an iPhone. As slow & unreliable as that transfer is, I don’t think anyone would have patience to transfer RAW 😄 But the app is GREAT at geotagging if you open it at the start and occasionally the rest of the day
@pratik oh and importantly that App transfer is not on the fly. Requires the camera to be in ever fickle adhoc WiFi mode
@pratik keep this link handy in case that transfer to iPhone is ornery: “How to Solve Fujifilm’s Cam Remote App Not Connecting to iPhone” I really hope Fujifilm is working on a better app.
@pratik I love the camera! Handles well, the film emulation is fun, and I like the 35mm focal length so don’t really struggle with it. There are times I’ve wanted a zoom but they never override the simplicity. I reach for it more than my other cameras.
@pratik I also own (going to sell at some point) an X100T. I watched B&H every day until I saw the V show up, and jumped on it as soon as it was available.
@pratik FWIW, I did my entire honeymoon with a film camera (35mm lens) and a Ricoh GR 28mm). I don’t regret it at all. Small and light wins out because you’ll take it more places, more often, most of the time. Fuji or otherwise, it’s hard to beat when you want a travel camera.
