If you look at Fuji's release schedule of the X100 so far, it shows that in general a model lasts for close to 3 years. That means that a next version can be expected around early 2023. I personally wouldn't wait for that. The current V is already a very good camera now that the lens issues of the earlier models was addressed. Of course this is a very personal decision and based on what you want the camera for.

An argument for buying a X100V now and not wait for the successor, is that the X100 cameras keep good value in the second hand market. If you buy now and upgrade whenever a newer version comes out (should you wish to do so), you still get a decent amount for the X100V.

Finally, sometimes Fuji makes decisions in newer versions that might not appeal to your needs. For instance, the X-Pro3 has some issues for me over the X-Pro2. I don't like the LCD-screen and the sub screen gimmick. I wish they had mounted an X100V-style LCD on the X-Pro3. Dropping the dual magnification in the OVF of the X-Pro3 was a real deal breaker for me. So I kept using the X-Pro2. If I would have waited 3 years for the X-Pro3 that would have been a waste of time and missing some great shooting experience.

In general, I see a lot of enthusiasts amateurs (also in the workshops) who are obsessed with the latest and greatest gear. Of course the industry thrives on that by releasing new cameras every 1-2 years. Fuji was actually one of the worse companies to do so with their X-H1 > X-T3 debacle. However, I also see amateurs using about 10-15% of the capabilities of their cameras without taking the time to really learn and understand how their camera works under pressure of time and in new situations. So, buy that X100V and enjoy it for as long as you can/want. Know that even the original X100 back in 2010 is still a beautiful camera that can produce gorgeous images as long as you are capable of creating them.

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      The backslashes you are referring are just symbols denoting path.  Once you import into these LUTS into Davinci Resolve those backslashes are removed by default and you only see is the true file name which has no backslashes.  Convince yourself of this by opening the LUT folder from the Davinci Resolve Project Settings.  Do you see any backslashes in those LUT names? Of course not.  The only name you see is the one that has the underscores and the periods. These LUTS work as designed without having to change any path names.  However, they need to be set up properly through CSTs and by what is supported in Davinci Resolve.  Hence, the FLog2C film simulation LUTS cannot be used because Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut color space and the FLog2C gamut. Alternatively, Davinci Resolve does support Flog2 film simulation LUTS because the color space for FLog2 is Rec 2020 and there is an FLog2 gamut. If all you are doing is changing the path names then you are not getting the correct results.

      I found the reddit topic i refere to :  https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve/comments/1pc3f1e/cant_apply_new_fujifilm_gfx_55_lut/ "Update for y'all, It's just like what @ExpBalSat said, it's because of the backslashes in the names break them. I changed the file name and it works now. "   For me it was the solution. Realy annoying if it doesn’t work for you 😕

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!
