Loved by street photographers and those in need of an everyday camera, FUJIFILM has further improved its compact camera line with the launch of the X100V.
Upgraded image quality, an enhanced design, and 4K video all come to the FUJIFILM X100V, making a stellar camera even better.
X100 series cameras are a perfect combination of features, quality, and size that make them ideal everyday-carry options. The compact and good-looking X100V takes things a step further with an improved design for the 23mm f/2 lens that features two aspherical elements. It also becomes weather-sealed when using the optional adapter ring and a protection lens. Even with these changes, the lens’s slim physical appearance has remained the same, allowing for compatibility with existing X100 series accessories.
Looks can make photographers appreciate a camera, but it will only find a home in someone’s bag if it has the image quality to back it up. FUJIFILM has made some notable improvements to the X100V, using the latest 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 APS-C sensor and X-Processor 4 to boost overall image quality and speed throughout the system. A revamped AF system is another area in which speed has been improved, and it can now operate in low light down to -5 EV.
One of the killer features of the X100V is the ability to switch, near seamlessly, from an electronic viewfinder to an optical one with a simple switch. Both finders have received upgrades with this model, as the OVF now boasts a 0.52x magnification and the EVF has a higher-resolution 3.69m-dot OLED display. The combination electric rangefinder function even brings the two together.
In addition, the rear screen can now tilt and has touchscreen functionality for an even more versatile shooting experience.
While generally considered a street photography camera, the X100V has some serious video chops. Now able to record in up to DCI 4K at 30 fps and with all of FUJIFILM’s incredible film simulations, this compact camera can now serve as an awesome option for videographers looking to capture everyday life. It can even be enhanced to match pro-level systems by using the HDMI output to capture 10-bit 4:2:2 video with an external recorder. It is a complete system.
