Do the people who see this on TikTok not research that there are several other X100 series cameras? Or Fuji has other cameras with the exact same sensor with an interchangeable mount?

It honestly baffles me...

Based on several videos I've seen that start with an influencer saying something along the lines of "so, check out this sleeper camera that's really flown under the radar" I would say you pretty much nailed it.

The X100v is as advertised. What is baffling about one of the most complete cameras ever made being popular? So what if people on TikTok love it. Hard core photo enthusiasts do as well as professionals. Hell Annie Leibowitz was spotted in a picture using one.

TIKTOK isn't what is making this camera popular, this camera being so damn good is what made it popular.

Also I would rather own an X100v over a Sony A7anything if I have to choose. Even my Current Fuji and Leica gear, the X100v would be the camera I kept if I could only have one.
