Product Overview

Fujifilm X100V is a flagship APS-C compact camera. Introduced by Fujifilm in 2020, it comes with an APS-C sensor with 26 MP (6240 x 4160) resolution and a 3.69 million-dot EVF.
The camera has a usable battery life, though a second battery may be a good thing to keep in your camera bag. One should note that the Fujifilm X100V has a 160 base ISO, which is not conducive to getting the cleanest images. The 11.0 fps burst rate serves enthusiasts well enough, though some professionals may find it limiting.
The Fujifilm X100V comes with 425 autofocus points. Last but not least, the camera can focus quite close to the subject.

Reviewer score 88% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from cameralabs have found:
The X100V features Fujifilm’s latest X-Trans IV sensor and X-Processor IV, equipping it with 26 Megapixels. It also inherits the latest Classic Negative Film Simulation from the X-Pro 3, as well as the recent Eterna and ACROS simulations. The body is now thankfully weather-proofed, making it a more practical option for all-round travel and street photography. Sadly the camera remains unstabilised though – I wish the lens has been optically stabilised, especially for video.
Pros
  • Sharpness at close range
  • Weather-sealed body
Cons
  • Not optically stabilised
  • No built-in ND filter

Reviewers from cnet have found:
Fujifilm's X100 series has persisted for five generations since it first debuted in 2011. With the X100V, it gets some significant and welcome updates inside and out. You'll be able to get it by the end of February for $1,400 -- $100 more than previous models.
Pros
  • Excellent photo quality
  • Improved viewfinder
  • Improved weather sealing
Cons
  • No telephoto lens
  • Fingerprint sensor

Reviewers from pcmag have found:
Fujifilm has pulled out the stops to make the X100V the best entry in the series to date. Video is crisp and stable, as long as the camera is steady. There's no optical, sensor-shift, or digital stabilization included, so you do see some jumps and jitters when working handheld.
Pros
  • Excellent image quality
  • Excellent battery life
  • Fingerprint sensor
Cons
  • No telephoto conversion lenses
  • No viewfinder

rtings[4]

Reviewer score 68% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from rtings have found:
Out-of-the-box image quality is excellent, with good noise handling capability and minimal loss of sharpness at higher ISO levels. Its fixed focal length forces you to move around to properly compose your shots, which enthusiasts may prefer. The camera itself isn't always comfortable to use due to its very small handgrip. It isn't fully weather-sealed unless you purchase separate sealing accessories for its lens.
Pros
  • Out-of-the-box image quality
  • Excellent noise handling capability and sharpness at higher ISO levels
  • Compact and lightweight design
  • Great image quality in FHD and 4k
  • Impressive noise handling performance
Cons
  • Can easily overheat while recording video
  • No optical or in-body stabilization features
  • Not fully weather-sealed unless you purchase separate sealing accessories
  • Doesn't rotate to face you when the camera is in a selfie position

Reviewers from t3 have found:
Fuji X100V is aimed at photographers who want to be fairly surreptitious in their shooting. The lens, like the camera itself, is compact and doesn't obviously scream ‘professional photographer' like a camera with a physically bigger equivalent lens would. The large-ish back-lit APS-C sensor, when combined with fast/bright aperture lens, means we're getting detail-rich images.
Pros
  • Crisp, sharp images
  • Fast/bright aperture lens
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • Can’t be used for selfies

techradar[6]

Reviewer score 85% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from techradar have found:
The X100V has Fujifilm's latest 26.1MP X-Trans IV APS-C sensor. It produces pleasing, accurate color rendition and reliable exposure. You also get the full array of ‘Film Simulations', which simulate the look of the company's range of analogue films. You get 4K/30p recording (albeit with a maximum recording time of ten minutes per clip)
Pros
  • Excellent image quality
  • Fantastic tilting screen
  • Excellent performance at higher ISO sensitivities
Cons
  • No video stabilization
  • No built-in ND filter

trustedreviews[7]

Reviewer score 84% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from trustedreviews have found:
The X100V has a tried and tested sensor that we’ve seen in other Fujifilm models, including the X-T4. While the lens is the same focal length, it has a new design which lends itself well to capturing even sharper images than before. Images are beautiful, with pleasing out of focus areas when shooting at a wide aperture. Noise is well-controlled throughout the native ISO range, with images shot even at the upper levels like ISO 6400 producing pleasing results.
Pros
  • Stylish design
  • Excellent image quality
  • Excellent weather-resistance
Cons
  • No zoom lens
  • No telephoto lens

Reviewer score 94% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from wired have found:
The X100V's new articulating screen ups the game in this regard. It can tilt up, making it easier to shoot from the hip. The lens is completely redesigned, with eight elements in six groups. The camera also does 4K 30-frames-per-second video and 1080 slo-mo video at 120 fps.
Pros
  • Improved autofocus
  • Faster than previous X100F
  • Fingerprint sensor
Cons
  • Not weather-resistant
  • No manual focus
