I guess we could blame Tiktokers for making Fuji the new Leica.

Could someone share some TikToks about Fujifilm X100V? Particularly among the commenters who say it's a TikTok phenomenon? I want to watch them!

I scroll through tiktok as I do with other social media and I've never seen any Fujifilm content.

Of course I know I could search on the app but I'd like the people who push this narrative to demonstrate it. Because obviously if I search for it I will find it but that's true of anything and isn't really indicative of a phenomenon or 'going viral'.

A recent article on Peta Pixel provides some details:

Used Fujifilm X100 Series Camera Prices Are Surging Thanks to TikTok

Grace Troutman is an example of an "influencer" pushing the camera.

The same thing is happening to some degree with vintage Digicams from the 2000's with CCD sensors. Look around YouTube and you will channels like "One Month Two Cameras" that glorify these old cameras.

There are videos on YouTube with titles like "You have to get the camera for $10" it is great. Then you look on eBay and see the camera selling for $200.

It is just a fad and will eventually pass.
