I bought my Fujifilm X100V sometime in 2020 during the pandemic. It was love at first sight for me. The X100V is one of the two most beautiful cameras I’ve ever owned (the other being the Fujifilm X-Pro3). Yes … I’m a huge Fujifilm fangirl. 🙂
About a year or so later, I gifted the X100V to my nephew. I had no clue then how much I would miss this little camera. I started looking for another X100V to purchase but the that camera has become quite elusive these past few years (due to chip shortage?) and is rarely available on the market unless at an exorbitant price (way over market).
After much research, I realized that the next best thing to an X100V would be a Fujifilm X-E4 which was also hard to come by. When I received a notification on HotStock last December that an X-E4 became available, of course I couldn’t resist. ImA birthday present from me to me was my excuse. 🙂
I still miss my X100V … but I also appreciate having the X-E4 as an EDC now. I love its minimal aesthetics, tiny size and retro look.
The beautiful X100V … briefly mine for a blink …
If you can’t have what you want … you can always have the next best thing. I made a vlog about this … of course. :)
