    It really is hard to describe. I read a lot about it too but I really didn’t get it until I tried one of my mate’s x100f.

    You have this big optic viewfinder but with a little flick of your index finger you can turn it into a full digital (through the lens) viewfinder or into a hybrid one. It just works so well. I use the hybrid one most of the times but sometimes it’s just nice to have an even more analog feeling and sometimes it’s helpful to have a full digital one.

    Plus the viewfinder is a bit rangefinder style. You look through it with your right eye while your left eye is still able too see everything around you. So you usually have both eyes open.

    Again it’s really hard to describe. If you ever get the chance to try one you should do it.

    I started like 15 years ago with a 450d followed 5 years later by a 6D. I really liked the cameras and IQ wise the 6D is still amazing. However I got tired of taking a big camera and big lenses with me and at some point I pretty much stopped (apart from holidays).

    What helped me was buying a Fuji x100f. That was years ago though when the prices were still reasonable.

    I liked that the camera focuses not only on the results (in that regard there are better cameras) but also on how you take pictures. Taking pictures finally was a joy again. The viewfinder is a delight and everyone should try it.

    Normally I’d say you should get one too but prices of the 100f (and even worse of the 100v) went crazy after influencer “discovered” these cameras.

    I’m pretty sure that there will be a successor of the 100v in 2024. The 100v will be 4 years old by then
