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?

No they don't lol. Trendiness has nothing to do with specs (see: hyped point and shoot film cameras). They see someone popular using it and FOMO/GAS kicks in, and they have to have that specific thing, never mind that an X100F or X-E3 or X-E4 would work just as well, it's not the X100V so they don't care.

Similar clothing fashion, stylish/appearance is most important criteria for them instead of specs.

Digicams are next

This started on YouTube... endless videos about the X100v... 10 things I love, 10 things I hate, X100V vs Leica, why you should buy it, why you shouldnt buy it, why I bought it, why I sold it. I think the content makers look at trending keywords and jump on the click bait band wagon. Has anyone else noticed the "digicam" trend? This is even more hilarious to me, where they will buy and old digital camera, and then hype up how magical the 3mp CCD sensor is. It is actually driving up the prices of previously unwanted e-waste.

Right. So you meant “too long for me”, not “too long for street”.

Your opinion does not make all other choices wrong... remember that in life especially when talking about products.

Wouldn't it be great of Fuji decided to release the XP4 sooner than originally planned due to those issues. I'm planning on getting a new camera before August and I'd rather it be an XP4 than an XT5.

Hopefully this Social Media craze is still going on so I can sell my X100V for max value before upgrading.

Re: The TikTok craze for the X100V is so confusing...

Pretty comparable to the trend for vinyl albums I'd say. Same kind of idea that "retro is better". Understandable given our cultural moment with so much change. Hanging on to a bit of the past feels safe. At least they are not McGyvering the cameras to shoot film. This too will pass.

Uhm, how so? The X100V is a completely modern and up to date digital camera.  It has not been superseded.

Didn't worry. X100V price will drop soon if 40MP X100VI launch at 2023.

GAS didn't buy previous model, since they buy previous model iPhone.
