It makes zero sense to keep both unless you are collecting old camera bodies in a closet. (You should see my closet.)

Sell the X100f immediately while it is still worth something. Shoot the new camera.

I agree with Greg. Having said that I bought the original X100 when it came out and even though I now have the X100F, I kept the original. To me it's just a classic, the first of its kind. Other than that, when I've purchased a new camera I've sold the one I am replacing.

Other than "money-wise",

I really don't understand why people sell off their perfectly good old camera once they buy a new camera.

For me, after buying a new camera, the old camera can become a backup camera.

Cheers!

Well, I can't argue with that. But I guess it depends on how many new cameras you buy and how many of the old ones you want to keep.

For me, I want to keep them all!

Cheers!

I think many people don’t use more than one camera.

In my opinion, just like you have many cameras listed in your gears list,

I feel most photographers should have a few cameras to take pictures.

It's like having a toolbox, and ask someone to only use a screwdriver.

Cheers!
 
So the V arrived yesterday,i did not test it very long as had no time....

Good:
  • Very snappy AF i did not expext this as a few people said its like the F and that there were no differencies.not in my case.
  • Formfactor and ergonomics,i almost like them over the F.
  • Tilt screen and shutter/iso dial much improoved.
  • I like the bigger OVF/EVF.
  • New lends,seems much sharper at f2
The Bad:
  • It does get "warm"(still not sure if im confortable with that)
  • focus ring some grinding (can live with it as i wont use it much,but not nice)
  • No external charger.
Ill keep on testing hoping that it does not get to warm,uncomfortable warm...

The focus ring shouldn't grind. If that bothers you enough, consider returning it for a V that doesn't grind.

For what it's worth, I agree with all the above, though I don't notice my V getting warm.

I prefer the ergonomics of the V over the F.

At the same time, was it really worth all the money? I sold my X100F at a good but cheap price, and paid full price for a new V, so it cost me quite a bit.

I don't think so. But it's okay, this is an enjoyable luxury for me, and I enjoy handling the V.

No grinding no matter how much I turn the focus ring. It is smooth no matter how much you turn it (as was my X100F).

I rest my thumb near the AEL/AFL button, and no I don't notice my V getting warm.

I've taken over 2700 shots with it.

I am a street photographer, and I usually am walking around with the camera off. I turn it on when I think I will take a shot. I take a shot on continuous burst mode, so maybe 1-5 shots in one burst. Then I switch it off until I see the next shot come up.

I haven't noticed the unit getting warm at all. Maybe it gets a little warm, and I don't notice it.

Maybe if try to push the camera (e.g., leave it on, video mode, etc.) and focus on it, I will notice it. But in my normal use, it hasn't bothered me at all over the last few months.

Thanks a lot for your reply,

i might have to exchange it,minde does grind,and it gets warm like a mobilephone with normal usage taking pictures after 10 minuts or so...
 
I bought the V as soon as it came out in Black and sold my F . Easy choice for me as I can afford to do this and want the latest and greatest of my only camera. If I couldn’t afford it the F would have happily continued taking the exact same photos it had for the last year. It didn’t all of a sudden turn into a bad camera the second a new model comes out.

Just curious ... why? I'd say wait until the teething problems have been tackled, and then decide whether the upgrade is useful.

Not a matter of affordability for me, but of frustration avoidance. Usually the early adopters are hit with the most problems.

I agree obviously. However, not everyone photographs the same way for the same reason.

Ok after some further testing i phoned up the shop to give itback, thats getting deffenetly to warm, he said that i shall update befor sending it back tomorrow, as im woring i wont be able untill tonight, but it gets far to hot after 20/30 shots and 5 minutes...

I do not trust the update but ill give it a try as he requests as id really like to keep it...
 
HI

I bought the x100f new and love it and kept it 20000 pictures later. It has my imprint and will not sell it something money cannot replace

I purchased the X100v when in came out in March, I love it and never has become hot

I am not a video shooter but with a flip out screen, Fantastic f2 sharpness, and quicker autofocus it has been great

Think you will love the purchase

Your wallet, and whether you need the money.

Not that i dont care about money,i dont know if i will regret selling it....ill see what i do ones i compare...

Commit! You can do it! Life is about making choices.

Personally I'd keep the V for the weather sealing and new lens. I like the idea of a camera I don't have to worry about in "the weather".

Then I'd go for the original X100 as the most diametrically opposed camera - I feel like Fuji colors and the X-Trans sensor itself has changed its "rendering characteristic" if I have to put a name to it over time.

What do you think of the original X100? Specifically the "colors" and overall output?

Here are two threads I started specifically on this topic.

https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4491217

https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4493802

In another thread, I asked someone with every X100 camera which one he would keep if he had to keep just one and he said the original X100. Which is why I bought it, even though on the used market it's about the same price as the X100S which has the 16 megapixel X-Trans original sensor which I like a lot.
