Fujifilm X100V Compact Digital Camera - Silver Reviews

5 Rating 5 Reviews

Key features:
Improved functional design
23mm f/2 lens
Enhanced face and eye detection
Great low-light performance
Elegant, Functional Design
The X100V’s timeless body has top and bottom plates milled from single pieces of aluminum, which results in a refined and classic camera body with clean, attractive edges. Finished with a beautiful satin coating, the X100V is a perfect combination of design and engineering that is sure to make photographers of any level joyful as they make their images. The analog inspired controls of the X100 Series are one of its most defining characteristics. The use of dials for exposure compensation and shutter speed provide a purely tactile experience and contribute considerably to making the image making process an immersive and enjoyable experience. The two-way tilting LCD touchscreen hides in the back of the camera and adds another first for the X100 series as it provides intuitive touch controls, unlocking even more possibilities for image-makers to see, frame, and create.
A new lens
X100V features a new 23mmF2.0 lens to ensure that every detail from its X-Trans CMOS 4 Sensor is resolved beautifully. The lens has been enhanced for better resolution, lower distortion and improved close focus performance. However, it still maintains the same overall size and compatibility with legacy WCL/TCL lens attachments, which gives image-makers additional angle of views equivalent to 35mm and 50mm on 35mm Format.
Protection from the elements
Weather resistance appears for the first time in the X100 Series when the optional AR-X100 adapter ring and the PRF-49 protection filter are used in conjunction with the X100V’s brand new lens. Continue making images in challenging weather conditions and have peace of mind when nature takes an unexpected turn.
See the world differently
The X100V has a vastly improved hybrid viewfinder which enables image-makers to quickly and easily choose between the 0.52x magnification optical viewfinder (OVF) or the 3.69M dot OLED electronic viewfinder. Offering 95% frame coverage, the OVF provides parallax-correcting frame lines to give an uninterrupted view of the world as it is, while the camera’s EVF delivers a real-time representation of the image as it is being made.
The EVF uses an extremely bright 1500cd/㎡ high-luminance panel, so images can be made easily even in bright conditions. Highlight and shadow details are more visible thanks to the EVFs higher resolution display, ensuring that images are made exactly as they are seen.
The Electronic Range Finder (ERF) Function, blends the OVF and EVF are together to provide a unique experience. You can see an electronic preview of the scene in the bottom right corner, while still framing the image using the OVF.
More than just a still camera
The X100V offers the ability to record 4K video up to 30 frames per second or capture 120 frames per second at 1080p to create super slow motion effects. Filmmakers needing extreme colour fidelity can record 10-bit, 4:2:2 colour externally via the HDMI port and leverage Fujifilm’s advanced colour reproduction technology, to apply Film Simulations, like ETERNA, to their video footage. Additionally, image makers can also incorporate numerous shooting functions, such as “monochromatic Colour” and “Colour Chrome Effect” to extend their creative visions directly to the footage being recorded.

This camera does not need any introduction - being sold out everywhere and used examples are selling for more than the retail price! I consider myself fortunate to be able to get my hands on a new one after a very long search. The feel and look of the camera did not disappoint and it is as beautiful as in the pictures. The build quality is superb and all the dials turn with precision, accompanied by a very satisfying click. After more than two weeks, I'm still learning how to set the camera up to my preferences, and will continue to do so as time goes on. As some reviewers have mentioned - it can be as easy, i.e. by turning all settings to Auto - which would be missing the point as a simpler point and shoot camera does that equally as well, or as comlex as you want it to be - which, for me, is part of the fun and learning process. I haven't taken enough photos to be able to give a definitive verdict on the camera as I have a long way to go, just learning how to set up and take better pictures. The fact that it looks and feels so good in the hand and encourages me to take it out everytime, to have fun and take photos is the whole point and more than enough for me. As I write, a replacement for the X 100V is due to be launched in a couple of days, however I have long decided to get this one. I'm sure the X 100VI would be much improved with more features, slightly bigger, heavier and definitely much more expensive. My intention was to have fun, learn and to take better photos. The X 100V provides me with all of that and much more.

One of the best fixed lense camera in the market. Good quality image, can't beat fujifilm in there. It's not your typical point&shoot camera, you have the option to compose&create your image but it needs getting use to. Novice here.Very sturdy, wasn't expecting it to be heavy though(sorry,Im 5'2"). All in all, it exceeded my expectations.

Second day with X100V, so still a long way to go. First impressions? Beautifully engineered; iconic design; great initial results on automatic settings. I've found an excellent training tutorial on YouTube - "Fuji X100V Tutorial Training Video Overview - How to use Fuji X100V" - by Michael the Maven. 1 hour 45 minutes and very detailed. Already picked up some tips for today's photography.

Excellent quality camera - lovely to hold and operate...but the manual is over 300 pages long (all in English) so there is quite a bit of learning to do before becoming competent and using it to the full.
