Is the fujifilm x100 good for video?

The site doesn't say how the Fujifilm X100 performs for video. Its page covers the specs only: a fixed 23mm lens (about 34mm equivalent on full frame), no stabilisation, and 12.3 megapixels. Nothing on it mentions a flip-out screen or a microphone input, and those matter more than the headline features.

Judged against the video guide, the fixed 34mm view is tighter than the 16-20mm equivalent I'd want for vlogging at arm's length. With no stabilisation, handheld footage will also be shakier. It's a better fit for the stills-first work the X100 is known for, which I covered in my street picks. If video is the main job, start with the vlogging checklist and check the spec sheet for those features before you buy.
