Hype has gone far beyond the X100V. Have you seen the prices for the X100F and even the original X100 that you could have purchased a year ago for around $350 is now selling for between $700 and $1000. The TikTok influence has even caused the prices for the early 2000s point and shoot / compact cameras to go up 500% or more. I'm laughing at the going price for the small Fuji EF-X20 flash. Some where between $400 and $700

Not to mention film cameras and vinyl records.

I can see the records, (if virgin), the x100v, and film: these can produce good results. But 3 MP p&s? Pure faddism and nostalgia. Crazy stuff. Still, it's a free country - but people spend too much time and attention on tiktok.

Megapixels don't don't mean that much. I stumbled upon this photographer's work with a 4 mp Canon G2 from the year 2001 that he's been using for over 5 years.
