<\/a>Note: I review gear from a real-world shooting perspective, determining how a piece of gear handles for me in actual use. I also am not a videographer, so my camera reviews focus on the still-imaging aspects of a camera. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The X100 series has continually evolved with each new model. While the overall look of the X100V is still remarkably similar to all the models that came before it, the design is sleeker and more refined than any of the earlier X100 bodies. The leatherette now wraps around the body in the same location on either side of the lens, the finish on the metal has been made smoother, with more subtle curves and lines while transitions to the top plate are sharper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The camera is available in both black and silver. The copy I rented for my initial review was the black model, but when I purchased one for myself, I had to go for the silver. The silver model evokes the classic rangefinder aesthetic while the changes made to the X100V refine the overall look to make the camera beautiful to behold. I think the X100V, especially in silver, is one of the best looking cameras I’ve ever seen. And while beauty doesn’t matter at all with regards to final output, it can entice the user to pick it up and use it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If the beauty of the X100V is the first thing that you notice when looking at the camera, the light weight is the first thing you notice when picking it up. The X100V is a surprisingly light camera body. The camera looks like it’s made of solid brass, but it is actually constructed of a lightweight aluminum, and as such it almost feels hollow. While light in weight, the construction is excellent, with no creaks or flex anywhere in the body. Both the top and bottom plates are milled from single pieces of aluminum, so there are no seams anywhere in the metal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the rather meager hand grip, I feel the X100V is reasonably comfortable to hold. The front sculpted grip is subtle, but gives your fingers enough purchase to comfortably carry the body for long shoots while maintaining positive control over it while composing. The slight ridge added to the rear of the camera gives just enough purchase for your thumb to maintain a reasonable grip. Despite the diminutive size, I found the X100V to be more comfortable to hold than the X-T20. With that said, handling can definitely be improved by adding aftermarket accessories such as a hotshoe mounted thumb grip (my preferred method), or an accessory front grip to add more to hold on to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The camera is well constructed and has tight tolerances and no creaking anywhere in the body. The body is weathersealed for the first time in an X100 camera, though for full sealing, use of the filter adapter (sold separately) with a filter is required. You can purchase Fujifilm’s own filter adapter for $46, but this brings me to another talking point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The X100 series, more than perhaps any other camera series, has a thriving third party accessory market. Filter adapters, a variety of lens hoods, thumb grips, hand grips and soft shutter releases: they’re all available for the X100V, and generally of high quality at much lower prices than what Fujifilm itself offers. Rather than purchase the Fufjilm filter adapter and hood for $80, I’ve opted for a much cheaper combination filter and hood from Haoge, which weatherseals the lens, looks great, maintains a compact size and uses the standard metal lens cap that comes with the camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For those who wish to have a bit more to hold onto, that accessory market I spoke of can come into play. Accessory thumb grips and front grips of all designs are available, some with integrated Arca-Swiss dovetails for tripod mounting. My LensMate thumb grip has an articulating hinge for flipping out of the way for easier access to the shutter speed dial – a welcome feature. A wide range of soft-release buttons are also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the exterior accessories, Fujifilm also offers two add-on lenses: a wide conversion lens and a telephoto conversion lens. There are two versions of each type designed for the X100 series, with the WCL-X100II being the current wide conversion lens, and the TCL-X100II being the current telephoto conversion lens. The first versions of these lenses have the same optics and will work just fine on the X100V, but they lack the sensing magnet that allows the camera to automatically recognize the converter. As such, with these first edition lenses, you must tell the camera the converter is mounted via a menu item. It’s worth noting that it is trivially easy<\/a> to add a small neodymium magnet to a version I converter and effectively turn it into a version II. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The WCL-X100II is a wide-angle converter that turns the lens on the X100V into an 18mm lens (28mm full-frame equivalent field of view.) The TCL-X100II turns the X100V into a 33mm lens (50mm full frame equivalent field of view). The nice thing about these converters is that unlike rear-mounted converters, they do not alter the aperture value, so things remain f\/2 with both wide and telephoto lenses mounted. They are also extremely well designed, as there is virtually no loss of quality from these converters. On the down side, these converters are very expensive at $350 each, and they don\u2019t change the field of view particularly dramatically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On the wide end there is a second option available in the wide converter for the now discontinued X70. The WCL-X70 will also work on the X100V, and that lens has a wider field of view than the one intended for the X100 series. The WCL-X70 yields a 17mm lens on the X100 series cameras (26mm equivalent), giving a bit more width when you need it. The optics are good, and if you can find one, it\u2019s a LOT cheaper than the ones for the X100 series. I picked up a brand new one on eBay for $120, and it works great. Like the first generation WCL-X100, though, it lacks a sensing magnet to automatically turn on corrections. I added magnets to both my WCL-X70 and version I TCL-X100 so they both automatically alert the camera that the proper conversion lens is mounted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The X100V largely features the same control system as the X100F, but Fujifilm has modified things to fit into the same paradigm as its more recent X mount bodies. As such, the four way controller is gone, and the back is a little cleaner than on previous bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The prime controls remain the same old-school Fujifilm controls that have been in use the past decade. Around the small fixed lens sits an aperture dial that moves in 1\/3 stop increments and sets with very positive clicky detents. The ring is operated by two knurled tabs that extend beyond the main body of the lens to allow for easy turning by either your left hand or the middle finger of your right hand. Around the front of the lens is a thin knurled ring, which can operate as a manual focus ring (in manual focus mode) or a programmable control ring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, there are dedicated dials for shutter speed and exposure compensation, along with an inset dial for ISO that sits on the shutter speed dial. This ISO control is improved from the X100F and X-Pro 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You still pull up on the outer ring of the shutter speed dial to change ISO, but instead of being spring-loaded, the outer ring clicks into place to change ISO, and the ISO is locked by pressing the ring back down. It works well, though I would prefer stronger detents when moving between ISO values. As it is now the detents are very weak, making changing ISO through tactile feel alone somewhat difficult. However, if you are in a situation where you will need to quickly change ISO only through feel, you can set the ISO dial to ‘C’, and the front command dial takes over for ISO control. This is recommended if you may be changing ISO while using the flash hotshoe as well, as a shoe-mounted flash can interfere with the ISO lock ring. That front command dial can be pressed to switch between ISO and Exposure compensation if both are set to ‘C’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The front also contains the viewfinder lever with its programmable button. This lever looks like a traditional self timer lever on mechanical film cameras, but instead of starting a time, it’s a control to switch up the viewfinder modes. Pull the lever towards the right side of the camera and the viewfinder will toggle between the electronic and optical finders, while pushing the lever towards the left side of the camera while using the optical finder will overlay a small electronic window showing the area of focus. More on the viewfinder in a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On the side of the camera is the focus mode switch for quick changes between single shot autofocus, continuous autofocus and manual focus. The switch is easy to access, but can be a bit stiff, such that Continuous AF can sometimes be skipped once the friction lets go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The rear of the X100V features the ubiquitous Fujifilm Q button to bring up the customizable quick menu, along with a menu button, the image playback button, display button, the drive\/delete button, AEL\/FEL button, the rear command dial and the focus point joystick. Most of the buttons can be customized to any of a massive list of control options. The focus point joystick now serves double duty as the primary menu navigation tool, and it works well for that purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the loss of four function buttons on the rear directional pad from earlier models would normally be a problem, I found that I didn’t miss it. You can replicate their use through swipe gestures on the rear touchscreen. These gestures work well, and I found I didn’t have any issues with accidental activation of them. The core functionality of the camera allows access to pretty much any setting I’d really need to access quickly, and the rest can easily be accessed in the personal menu setup or the quick menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The menu system is unchanged from other recent Fujifilm bodies, with a well organized main menu and a customizable section to put settings that you feel are important. The quick menu is also unchanged, and features 16 settings for quick access, which can be customized to your liking. While the quick menu can be operated by touchscreen, the main menu cannot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In all, the X100V puts all the controls needed for everyday shooting at your fingertips, and it is a very enjoyable camera to use. The setup can be a bit daunting at first, but after setting the camera up to your liking, it just melts into the background, allowing for intuitive control of the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The headline feature on the X100 series cameras has always been the hybrid optical\/electronic viewfinder, and the X100V’s viewfinder sees upgrades in both optical and EVF specifications. Optically, the X100V gets a small updgrade to a 95% coverage optical finder with 0.52x magnification. The electronic finder also gets the first upgrade since the X100s, with a resolution bump up to 3.6 million dots at 0.66x magnification, from the 2.4 million dot finder of the X100F. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The hybrid finder is rare in the camera world, giving the user the option of an optical finder similar to an AF rangefinder or a traditional mirrorless experience with the electronic finder. The optical finder shows a view a bit wider than the 35mm equivalent field of view of the attached lens with frame lines showing what will be captured. The frame lines will move to adjust for parallax when shooting closer up to ensure that your framing stays as accurate as possible. These frame lines cover about 95% of the frame to be captured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A third mode can be activated when using the optical finder that shows a small electronic enlarged area of where your focus point is. This allows you to confirm critical focus while using the optical finder. As mentioned earlier, the viewfinder modes can be changed by pushing or pulling on the small lever on the front of the camera. Below shows the three different views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The hybrid finder definitely adds a cool dimension to the camera. The optical finder allows you to anticipate action when doing street shooting or reportage, but I found it to be somewhat dark in lower light. Also, precisely placing focus can be a challenge. As such, I tend to use the EVF for most of my shooting, as I think the overall experience is superior in most situations. That optical view is excellent in bright outdoor light, though, so I will often use that when shooting outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The EVF is reasonable in resolution, but I found the dynamic range of the electronic viewfinder to be a little behind some of the other EVFs in cameras released in the past year or two. Turning on the Natural Viewfinder mode helps this, but as this mode doesn’t apply any film style to the view, you are left with a rather flat image as a result. Overall, it’s a good EVF for the size of camera that this is, but it won’t compare to the amazing EVFs that are present in high end mirrorless cameras from 2020 and 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most notable changes the X100V sees over all the previous X100 bodies is the addition of a tilting rear screen, and I think it’s the single biggest positive change in the camera. The X100V is a great camera for candid shots, and I find the tilting screen aids this function tremendously, allowing for easy waist level shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The tilting screen is extremely well integrated into the camera body. The screen sits flush with the rest of the camera back when closed, and aside from a small notch on the left side to pull the screen out, you’d never know the screen isn’t a fixed model. This implementation does limit the amount the screen can tilt, with only about a 30 degree downward tilt for shooting overhead, but it does allow for a full 90 degree upward tilt for low shots. I love that they finally added a tilt screen to the X100 series, and it makes the camera much more usable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The screen itself is a 1.6 million dot 3″ display, and is nice and clear with good contrast and color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The X100V features the same X-Trans IV image sensor as the X-T4 and X-Pro 3, and as such inherits the same phase-detect autofocus system. The X100V’s sensor has 425 total focus points, evenly distributed across almost the entire image frame. Focus accuracy is excellent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The X100 series has never been known for blazing fast autofocus, and that continues with the X100V, though focus is fast enough for most reasonable needs. Changing focus from near minimum focus distance to more distant subjects takes a little less than a second. Changing focus on subjects that do not differ much in distance is a fair bit quicker and can feel quite snappy. The lens makes some noise while focusing, but it isn’t overly obtrusive unless you are shooting in very quiet environments. If you use the filter adapter with a filter, this noise is muffled by the filter and becomes much quieter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all recent mirrorless cameras, the X100V has a face and eye detect focus algorithm, and it does quite well for the most part. While the speed of the lens limits how well the camera can keep up tracking very fast action, the eye detect system does a nice job at placing focus right on the eye when shooting more static or slower moving people. For casual street photography or environmental portraiture, the X100V’s eye detect does a nice job hitting focus. It isn’t a match for the latest from Sony and Canon, but it doesn’t really have to be for the type of photography one is likely to do with the X100V.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The general performance of the camera is quite good, with a reasonably quick startup, low shutter lag and quick writes to the SD card. The camera can shoot at bursts of up to 11 frames per second with the mechanical leaf shutter, or up to 20 frames per second with the electronic shutter. This can even be pushed to 30 frames per second if you can live with a 1.25x crop. This is great in theory, but the buffer fills very quickly, yielding just 17 RAW images before slowing down considerably. As such, if using the burst drive mode, you’ll want to time your bursts accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s not a lot new to write about Fujifilm’s in-camera RAW conversion, which has remained fairly consistent for the past several years. It’s still one of the best in-camera converters out there, with the ability to tweak most everything about the RAW output to JPEG. Pushing and pulling exposure, white balance changes, tone curve, film simulation and more can all be changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the last Fujifilm camera I reviewed, the Tone Curve manipulation has consolidated highlight and shadow tone into one tone curve section, and those controls modify a graphic of the curve that will be applied to the file. I don’t think the actual conversion differs from earlier versions any, but it does help with visualizing what the changes you are making will do to the final image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n New items that are more recent to Fujifilm cameras have been added to the RAW conversion options as well, such as the Color Chrome effects and Clarity adjustment. After making any desired changes, you can preview the image before writing the JPEG. It’s a very nice way to tweak images in camera to improve the result you want for direct sharing of JPEG images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Like almost all modern cameras, the X100V has Wi-Fi built in for remote control of the camera, geotagging images or transferring images wirelessly. The functionality is very similar to previous Fujifilm cameras and has most everything you really need. The camera also features Bluetooth for easier connection and a lower power maintenance of connection when using things like geotagging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Remote control allows for full control over image settings, including shutter speed, aperture, ISO, exposure compensation, white balance, and film simulation, plus the ability to move focus points and switch from stills to video while still in the app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth options are relatively full featured, the mobile app for controlling these things has fallen a bit behind some others in the industry. It could certainly use a refresh to make initial setup more convenient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are also some features that are missing that are found on some other cameras released in the last few years, such as the ability to connect to the camera while the camera is powered down. Both the Sony A7R IV I owned, and the Canon R5 and R6 can do this, and I have found it extremely convenient to grab some images off the card while the camera is in my backpack and I’m hiking back to my car, or to grab an image to share when the camera is at my desk in the study, and I’m in the living room. I’m a bit bummed that on the X100V I need to turn the camera on, manually initiate connection and then go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The X100V also lacks the ability to auto-convert JPEGs from the RAW files for remote transfer; only JPEG images can be transferred. I’d love to see the ability for the camera to instantly create a JPEG from the shot settings if the user requests transfer of a RAW file. The Canon bodies do this nowadays and its very convenient. It would be nice for Fujifilm to add some of these newer connectivity features to the X100V.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Fujifilm X100V features the same X-Trans 4 sensor in the X-Pro 3 and X-T4. It\u2019s a 26 megapixel APS-C sensor, and it\u2019s been proven to be one of the better APS-C sensors on the market. The X100 series also sees its first upgrade to the lens since the line was introduced. The lens is still a 23mm f\/2 lens, but the optics have been upgraded for better resolution, especially when shooting close up. Let’s dive into image quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The X100 cameras have always featured a pancake 23mm f\/2 lens, but the X100V sees an improvement in the optics for the first time. While the lenses look identical from the exterior, the optical design of the lens in the X100V has been completely redesigned from the four previous X100 models. Both are 8 element 6 group lenses, but the design of the lens is drastically different in the X100V. First, there are two aspherical elements in the X100V lens, while the older lens only has one. Second, every single one of the eight elements in the lens has been redesigned. Below is a block diagram of the lens in the X100V compared to the lens in the X100F (and previous models). <\/p>\n\n\n\n The new lens does yield some notable improvements, and remedies what was the previous weakness in the 23mm f\/2 lens: close up wide open performance. Earlier X100 models showed softness and spherical aberration when shooting closer subjects at f\/2, but the X100V’s lens shows very sharp results at all apertures regardless of focus distance. At f\/2, sharpness is excellent in the central 80% of the image frame, with a small amount of softening towards the edges. Stopping down a stop or two brings those edges and corners up to excellent levels as well, and the lens is capable of excellent cross frame sharpness at f\/4 and smaller. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While a 23mm f\/2 lens on APS-C won’t yield huge amounts of background blur, I have to say I really like the performance of the X100V’s lens with regards to bokeh. From a technical standpoint, it’s not excellent. There is some bright ring outlining on specular highlights and a bit of nervousness in busy backgrounds when shooting at moderate distances. However, for my own taste, there’s just something about the rendering that I really like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The bokeh has a bit of character and the way the sharpness falls off to blur is just excellent. I found myself enjoying the overall way the lens renders for things like environmental portraits, despite the rougher than average bokeh. There’s enough depth of field to show good focus of the subject, and the blur in the background helps the subject pop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When shooting close up, bokeh becomes much smoother. This is also the case when using the TCL-X100 to produce a 33mm f\/2 lens. The shot below was taken from about a foot and a half away, at f\/5.6 to gain a bit more depth of field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The sensor in the X100V is the same X-Trans IV sensor found the Fujifilm X-T4, and that sensor has been very well received for its excellent image quality. Of course, the same is true here. For an APS-C sensor, performance is excellent. Dynamic range is outstanding, and the camera can render highlights and shadows in contrasty light on par or better than any other APS-C camera I’ve used, and better than some full-frame sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As with most X-Trans sensors, tonal rolloff is beautiful, and the transition of colors is smooth and pleasing. Color has always been one of Fujifilm’s strengths, and a lot of that is down to the excellent film simulations. These can be used for a quick modification of JPEG output, but most RAW converters, including Lightroom and Capture One, have native support for them as well. This allows for an excellent starting point when developing RAW images. The Provia simulation is probably the truest to life and provides pleasing, fairly neutral color that really looks lovely in a wide variety of situations. I very much also like the Classic Chrome and the new Classic Negative simulation for shooting candids of people. These produce more muted colors and give a more nostalgic feel to the images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The X-Trans IV sensor is a 26 megapixel sensor that can resolve high levels of detail. Lightroom has improved substantially over the years at processing X-Trans images, but I find that Capture One is still a significant step up for X-Trans cameras, and is able to extract the full level of detail from the sensor, without the presence of any artifacts from the unique filter array. Noise control is pretty good for an APS-C camera, but there has been a bit of stagnation in the industry with regards to noise for the past few years. The X100V produces relatively clean images up through ISO 800, with ISO 1600 and 3200 showing some fine-grained noise that I find perfectly acceptable for most situations. I also find ISO 6400 and 12,800 to be quite usable, though with some visible noise. ISO 25,600 is a bit too far for everyday use, but can be used in a pinch for small prints or web use. ISO 51,200 starts to fall apart, and I would not recommend using it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, the image quality of the X100V is excellent. It’s got a high quality sensor and a good lens, and the camera is more than capable of producing extremely high-end results in a compact package. One thing that is starting to feel like a missing item, though, is image stabilization. The X100V lacks image stabilization in both the lens and sensor, and it’s something I miss when shooting with the X100V instead of my IBIS equipped mirrorless cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The X100 series cameras have been extremely popular for Fujifilm, and with the X100V it’s not hard to see why. The camera is eminently enjoyable to use, with its common sense controls, excellent viewfinder, compact size and great image quality. A lot of times, packing a smaller fixed lens camera feels like a big compromise, but with the X100V, I never felt like that, even if in reality it is more limited than an interchangeable lens system. The X100V is just fun to use, and the results are outstanding. It’s small enough to fit in a hip bag, but substantial enough to feel like a quality photographic tool in use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The ability to add a wide or telephoto conversion lens of high quality adds to the versatility, but I think most people will stick with the bog-standard integrated lens, which is a great optic on this latest version of the camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Fujifilm can still improve in a few areas by adding image stabilization, improving focus speed and noise, and further tweaking the ergonomics to make it feel better in the hand out of the box, and less dependent on handling accessories. There are also improvements to be made in the WiFi connectivity and battery life, but in practice, these items are all very minor. The X100V is a great camera and a wonderful tool for candid shooting, street photography and any other photographic pursuit where a 35mm lens in small package makes sense. I love it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Click on an image to enlarge.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I have reviewed quite a lot of Fujifilm gear, and have owned many of their cameras and lenses, but somehow I have never gotten around to reviewing their famous X100 lineup, which has been extremely popular since the first X100 was announced way back in 2010.

The leaf shutter is nearly silent, making just a faint click when activated, and it has the huge benefit of being able to sync with flash at it’s fastest shutter speed of 1\/2000 (or 1\/4000s at f\/4.5 and smaller). As such, if the focal length is right for you, it’s a great camera to use with strobes in daylight.
