With top and bottom plates milled from single pieces of aluminium, the X100V is a tougher camera than 2017’s previous model, the X100F. And the new sensor and processor combination combine to make the X100V a more capable and better performing camera than its predecessor.

The X100V is an engaging, well-built camera that produces beautiful images, has best-in-class video, excellent autofocus and optional weather-sealing. Meaningful updates like a tilting touchscreen, updated viewfinder and redesigned lens have us largely looking past its imperfections.

Street and documentary photography and videography, environmental portraiture, social snapshots, travel.

Vlogging, sports and action where longer focal lengths are required, high-res landscape photography.

More like an iPhone 13S. The generational upgrades for the iPhone 14 are limited to a few subtle changes. At the same time, however, the base price climbs to 800 USD, while the only true innovation happens inside the iPhone 14 Pro series.

You might need to be as rich as a king to buy one, but then the X100V is indeed king of the fixed-lens compacts. Close-up shooting at wide-open aperture settings is still a problem, but the addition of a bracket-mounted touchscreen show that Fuji is evolving this series for the better.

Adds useful tilt-angle bracket for screen; Unique hybrid viewfinder is amazing; Great lens and image quality; It's a camera like no other - in looks and operation;

Lens isn't silent; Close-up focus still has sharpness limitations; It's rather expensive; Should be weather-sealed out of the box (rather than optional kit);

In short, this is the perfect carry-anywhere camera if you don’t mind stumping up the premium price. Still, it is much more affordable than the nearest equivalent Leica it resembles.

All-in-one solution for the street and travel photographer who likes to shoot surreptitiously from the hip, Fits snugly into a jacket pocket, Fast/bright lens with good resolving power

Cannot alter the fixed lens provided, Limited articulation of the LCD screen means it cannot be flipped out to face the subject in selfie fashion, Pricey given said limitations

With its fifth generation, the Fujifilm X100V finally fulfils the ambition and promise of the original concept. Since day-one back in 2010 it’s delivered one of Fujifilm’s X-Trans sensors in an attractive compact and retro-styled body with a fixed lens, hybrid viewfinder and virtually silent leaf...

We hope you enjoyed our review of the Fujifilm X100V in this first episode of Head to Head. We ended up with one for and one against purchasing this camera. At the end of the day, the answer really rests with how the camera fits into your workflow, and more importantly, how you intend to use it.
