Fujifilm Removes Tatsuo Suzuki from X Photographer Program after his Controversial Street Photography Shooting Style in X100V Video
The Controversy
At the launch of the Fujifilm X100V, Fujifilm released lots of X100V promo videos, some of them made by their talented X photographers. One of those videos, though, raised a huge controversy, so much, that Fujifilm removed the video just a few hours after it went online.
However, here on FujiRumors, we shared a link where you can still find the video.
The video raised a massive debate, with currently over 730 comments in our original post. Is this a legit way to make street photography or is Tatsuo Suzuki’s style to intrusive and aggressive?
Over 4,000 people voted a survey on this subject, and you can see the results here. Spoiler: it’s an extremely divisive topic.
The Update
See the Controverisal Fujifilm X100V Promo Video Removed by Fujifilm – Offensive or Legit Street Photography?
At the launch of the Fujifilm X100V yesterday, Fujifilm published many promotional videos. Among the others the one of Tatsuo Suzuki you can see below.
It has been removed by Fujifilm, with apology for the shooting style of the photographer, that has been perceived as offensive by many in the comments, as the photographer has a rather “intrusive” style of shooting, they say. Others instead defended his shooting style as legit street photography.
But once things land on the internet, they remain there, and FujiRumors (thanks to his friends on Twitter), can provide you with the video.
I will let you debate on this. Just watch the video below, and let us know what you think.

For a while I thought, that it could happen.
Maybe the internet would find the the ultimate harmony and bring the perfect balance into the camera world.
In fact, the various Fujifilm X100V vs Fujifilm X100F beauty surveys, showed a 50/50 preference for each camera.
And I was hoping, that maybe it could happen, like in the “neutral response” Futurama video clip on youtube, where humanity unites since 10+ years to keep the balance between upvotes and downvotes.
But at the end, the Fujifilm X100V turned out the slight favorite in all of our surveys:
- facebook survey: 63% for X100V vs 37% for X100F
- twitter survey: 55% for X100V vs 45% for X100F
- blog survey: 52% for X100V vs 48% for X100F
So, at least according to the FujiRumors community, Fujifilm was able to make the sexiest camera in the Fujifilm world even sexier. That’s already a nice achievement.
