Basically. Or a smaller more compact XT5 with a different flip out screen, single card and not weather sealed and not a real flash like the x100z

How is the AF now? I remember watching a few videos last year about one of the firmware updates.

The X100's leaf shutter and viewfinder are the big differences. Oh, and the ND filter, although that's a necessary consequence of the shutter. I'm finding mine very interesting - the flash is a tiny creative miracle.

The X100VI?

I honestly don’t notice much difference.

New one arrived

Not had chance to play with it yet. I only bought the V a week ago but then got excited by the VI so now I have both :rolleyes:

@LiE

When you ordered on Very and got the 20% off, did you settle the bill in 1 go? How does it work?

The last thing I want is to pay that 44.9% APR. I have the money to settle it now but I rather get that 20% off if I can do it.

You have to select the 12 month buy now pay later anyway, so as long as you clear it before 12 months is up there is 0% interest.

And how do you "clear" this? Do you select a monthly repayment plan or you "top up" on the Very account as and when you want?

You click make payment, then go into your BNPL and select pay in full. £610 interest, imagine missing your payment and getting that slapped on!

Thanks, so I can check out with pay later.

Then straight away go back into the account and then pay that off in full with my credit card?

Probably need to wait a day or so for it to appear on your account.

Okay, thanks.

I almost bought a used XT5 today for £999 but then I rememeber Very with 20% off, they have the body only for £1449 at the moment so 20% off would be £1150 and would be brand new without any scuffs and 30k shutter count.

£1150 for a new X-T5 is nice.

Yeah, it's cheaper than the Photography Show price from last year.

I am on my 3rd hood though, first one broke when i dropped the lens....

2nd got knocked off and lost when I was in Morocco last year.

They are NOT cheap to replace.

X100VI (Black only) currently available on Amazon for £1373.02.
I’d purchase myself but it’s been added to the ever growing list of items that Amazon no longer ship to NI :mad:

**EDIT** Please disregard. There's something fishy going on at Amazon. It appears as though the price is only visible to NI customers yet Amazon won't ship to NI so it's of use to no one - clearly a ploy to pull people in.

Thats a bit cheeky.
