Expert review by (engadget.com)
Fujifilm's X100-series compact street photography cameras have always handled well, and the X100V is no exception. However, Fujifilm has introduced numerous technical improvements, including a higher-resolution 26.1-megapixel sensor, sharper lens,...
Higher resolution sensor ; Realistic skin tones ; New tilt screen ; Fast shooting speeds ; Great video capability
Lack of image and video stabilization ; Mediocre low-light capability ; Autofocus occasionally laggy
Fujifilm has spent years perfecting the X100 series and, as a result, the X100V is a beautiful camera that's a joy to use. At the same time, it represents the biggest upgrade yet from a technical standpoint, helping Fujifilm really lap the competition...

We think Fujifilm's X100V is the best choice for a photographer's carry-everywhere camera in 2020. Provided you can find somewhere safe to take pictures, of course. Take a look through our full review to find out more.
The X100 series predates Fujifilm's X-mount interchangeable lens cameras, and is responsible for setting the company on a trajectory to where it is today. Because of that, it's an especially important product since there's some X100 DNA in basically...

At long last, the compact Fujifilm X100-series camera gets the upgrade to Fuji's latest imaging pipeline: a 26MP X-Trans sensor and a speedy X-Processor 4 chip.
Expert review by : Rod Lawton Alistair Campbell (digitalcameraworld.com)
The Fujifilm X100V is the fifth version of Fujifilm's classic compact camera and brings some major improvements
Slim and pocketable ; 26.1MP APS-C sensor ; New tilting touchscreen
Non-interchangeable lens ; No optical stabilization ; Luxury price
We were expecting Fujifilm to put its latest 26.1-megapixel sensor into the new X100V, but the company has done a lot more besides. The X100V has a new, sharper lens to do justice to the latest sensor and the tilting touchscreen on the back makes this...

X100V review: Fujifilm has taken all it has learned in the past decade to create what should be, on paper at least, the perfect street camera.
Beautiful design;Tilting touch-sensitive screen;Sharp lens
Fixed lens not hugely flexible;High asking price
Expert review by : Mark Wilson (techradar.com)
The Fujifilm X100V fixes most of its predecessor's weaknesses – it's a joy to shoot with and the best street sidekick around.
Useful new tilting touchscreen Improved sensor and autofocus Higher-resolution EVF than before Lens produces good sharpness Now shoots 4K video
Needs filter for full weather-sealing Pricey for a fixed lens camera
The perfect compact camera for the smartphone age, the X100V is a great street photography sidekick that takes the series to new heights. Its tilting screen brings some welcome versatility, while the new sensor, autofocus system and viewfinder make it...
Expert review by : Mike Lowe (pocket-lint.com)
The X100V is unusual, but its specialist appeal is abundant. Great quality from that fixed lens and one-of-a-kind viewfinder is what really sells it.
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)
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...

Expert review by (eisa.eu)
The Fujifilm X100V looks similar to its predecessors in the X100 series, but is in fact an all-new design that quite simply represents the state-of-the-art for compact cameras today. It sports the same sensor and brilliant hybrid optical/electronic...

Dual optical/digital rangefinder ; Compact form factor. ; Intuitive to use with traditionally inspired controls
