The Fuji x100v is the Internet's favorite camera, and it so happens to be mine as well. There's only one problem. They are sold out everywhere.Special Than...
But eg. RawTherapee has film simulations built-in, and you can save profiles and then apply them in bulk. It’s only a bit more work than jpegs but a lot more flexibility.
I think a big part of why people seem to really like the film simulations in the Fuji cameras is because you can create or copy other people settings, “recipes”, and you get a nice live preview right on the LCD screen as you are shooting. It gives you a much closer visualization of your desired final product right on the back of the camera as you are shooting.

Have you used them? If so, how do you like them?
I have no experience with RawTherapee but I’m someone that doesn’t like spending a ton of time editing photos.
Yes, I’ve used them a lot. You have to download them separately, but it’s just a zip file that you extract and then tell rawtherapee where it is. It has many films; I really liked Portra 400 for portraits.
I think you can also get the Fuji film LUTs, so if you shoot raw you can later pick whichever film simulation you like.
For live preview I usually set minimum contrast and saturation, to get wider dynamic range (on the preview)
