Earlier I had tried the X100V and ended up returning it. I regretted that ever since, so bought the black version (my X-T3 is silver) and bought the 28MM lens adapter which gives me the two best general purpose lenses.


The X100V has many advancements but the one that resonates with me the most is the tilt LCD. Perfect for street photography.


Images (both with the native 23/35mm and the WCL attachment) are razor sharp and the colors are amazing.

This is a very nice product. go ahead and purchase it.

As always, the construction is gorgeous. It's what made me fall in love with the original X100. I passed that on to my son when I bought the 100T. Now the X100 is sold and he has the T. I do feel that although the camera is the best it's been (new lens and sensor), the choice of controls is becoming complex. You need to make some hard decisions on what you will use to keep things simple for your own style. For example, I simply blocked the screen controls out for now while I develop familiarity. I may switch them on later. I bought a spare battery and charger. I hate charging directly to the camera. The Fuji filter is nothing special, so if you have another of the same size, just use that for weather and dust sealing. I bought it because I wanted everything to be silver this time around. The Jpegs from this camera are lovely. The X100 series is always a pleasure.

Very pleased. I really do love it and the tilt screen really benefits how I shoot.

The x100v is pretty much exactly what I expected. A rangefinder style camera with a bright, sharp lens and full manual controls. It’s substantial without being too heavy, feels like it’s made of top notch materials, and performs as expected. If you know Fuji cameras, you’ll be all set. If this is your first “nicer” camera with lots of manual controls, be prepared to spend a lot of time learning this system. The camera warms up quite a bit if you’re snapping shots in quick succession, but I have not experienced any heat warnings or experimented with battery much. Battery life is just ok. Get some spares.

Long time photographer and retired pro. Have the X100f and bought this for some key updates like weather sealing, bigger viewfinder (better diopter), better lens and the tilt screen.



The lens sharpness improvement is immediately noticeable, especially at shorter focus distances. The viewfinder and tilt screen make a nice difference in usability. The weather sealing is key to being out and about without a case, the way this camera is meant to be.



The reviewers will tell you about the overheating and scratchy manual focus ring. Yes, the camera gets warm, but I never really press a camera like this for continuous hard shooting or video... it's not what it's meant for in the first place. The focus ring is a little scratchy, but works fine.... and honestly, I hardly ever manual focus anyway, so after playing with it to notice, it will go on forgotten.



If you don't need weather sealing, tilt screen and/or don't care about closer focusing distances, the X100f might be fine. Otherwise, this camera is really a beautiful next step in the X100 evolution.

I was anxiously waiting delivery of my X100v, because I've been wanting a rangefinder, walking around camera for a long time. While I've heard great things about this camera, I still had reservations about the image quality compared to my R5. After importing my first group of images, I was blown away by the raw images and so happy with the out of camera jpegs (I shot in Raw+jpegs w/ a film recipe). The form factor is excellent and I love that I can set it up with different jpeg looks and import them directly to my phone. There are still some things that I need to figure out with the menu system and how to setup the buttons and dials to my liking, but overall, its fantastic! Excited to document my life and even use it for some professional projects!

I take it with me everywhere. It’s perfectly compact with great power! So glad I invested into this camera!

Its a fantastic camera. The perfect camera to have with you just in case something deserves to be photographed.
My only complaint is that a 1400 USD camera should come with a charger.

I've had several Fuji cameras in the past and they all performed as expected or better. This camera is no different. There is enough customization available to set the camera to your needs. In fact, there is so much in the menu system as to be somewhat overwhelming at times. This would not be my choice for a beginner and I find myself going into the instruction book a lot for some settings and explanations. At least there is an instruction book to reference!!! I like the dual action viewfinder, particularly outside in bright light. I like the digital telephoto feature and its access with a control ring on the barrel of the lens. It would be nice if this ring had click stops. My JPEG images are great right out of the camera and easily manipulated on my iMac computer. I don't have overly large hands and can use one hand to hold the camera when ready to shoot. If I need to manipulate other controls before pressing the shutter button, it definitely takes two hands. All controls except those on the lens and the number of frames selection switch (left side) can be reached with the right hand. I purchased the adapter ring so I could add filters and use a push-on, pull-off cover to protect the filter/lens. Much more convenient than the supplied lens cover. The weight is not too bad but this is not a pocket camera unless you have large pockets in your jacket or coat. There is a very solid feel to the camera and I'm happy that I have one in my possession. This camera lacks only a stabilization system to be the perfect camera for me. Very much recommended for those with previous experience.
