YouTuber GxAce is well known for his beautifully crafted cinematic videos or short films concentrating on photography, visual art, and camera gear. His videos have a certain cyberpunk-esque look to them. Some might say he is inspired by the worlds of Blade Runner, the original Total Recall, and similar technological dystopian movies and games. One thing is apparent, he loves photography, and the cameras he uses for it.
His latest short film/review talks about the very hard-to-obtain Fujifilm X100V, in which GxAce talks about how perfect travel/pocket camera it is. The video emphasizes its simple yet elegant controls, one-handed use, and the very unique hybrid viewfinder, allowing us to use either the electronic viewfinder or a classic optical one with modern digital overlays.
And while none of us know for certain if and when we’re getting a successor anytime soon, if we do, it will in no way invalidate the current model, the X100V. It will still take gorgeous images, and it will still be perfect for many photographers as an everyday carry, always ready to capture whatever is going on around us. I know I love mine. Ever since I bought it, I haven’t left the house without it. Have a look at GxAce’s video and let us know about your experience with this joy-to-use camera.
