X100V Digital Camera - Black

Product Description

The Fujifilm X100V is a premium, compact digital camera that has become a modern icon for photographers seeking a perfect blend of style, simplicity, and powerful performance. As the fifth generation in the acclaimed X100 series, this camera is designed for enthusiasts and professionals who value a tactile shooting experience without the bulk of interchangeable lens systems. Its core appeal lies in the superb 23mm F2 fixed lens (35mm equivalent), a high-resolution 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor, and the advanced X-Processor 4, delivering exceptional image quality with Fujifilm's renowned film simulations.

Engineered for the discerning shooter, the X100V excels in street photography and travel documentation. Its sleek, classic design is not just for looks; it features a robust weather-resistant construction when paired with an optional filter adapter ring. The camera's unique hybrid viewfinder allows you to switch seamlessly between a bright optical viewfinder (OVF) and a high-resolution electronic viewfinder (EVF), providing flexibility for any shooting scenario. This makes it an ideal tool for capturing candid moments with precision and a timeless aesthetic.

Beyond its still photography prowess, the X100V is a capable tool for hybrid creators, offering 4K video recording at 30 fps and Full HD at 120 fps for smooth slow-motion. The tilting touchscreen LCD adds versatility for shooting from high or low angles, while improved autofocus performance ensures you never miss a moment. Whether you're documenting daily life, traveling the world, or creating professional content, the Fujifilm X100V offers a refined and intuitive photographic experience that encourages creativity and connection with your subject.

Key Features:

  • Great Photography Every Day, Everywhere: X100V features a newly designed, incorporated 23mmF2 lens, ensuring you preserve those special moments at maximum resolution with minimal distortion. It also offers an improved close focusing performance compared to previous X100 models, and, for the first time in the X100 line, you can keep making images even in the toughest conditions when you attach the optional adapter ring with the weather-sealing protection lens (sold separately). This outstanding lens retains the same slim line design as other X100 models, so it retains compatibility with existing WCL and TCL lens attachments.
  • Designed for Quality and Speed: From fleeting holiday moments and family celebrations to hard-hitting visual stories and ever-changing city streets, X100V has been designed to always deliver exceptional image and video quality. Creating a tool this capable takes powerful technology; that’s why Fujifilm’s state-of-the-art X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and X-Processor 4 combination sits at this camera’s core. Pairing this exceptional, 26.1MP, back-side illuminated sensor and powerful quad-core CPU results in incredible quality, wide dynamic range, lightning-fast processing and precision AF performance, right down to -5EV.
  • Two ways to See an Image: To truly convey the magic of a scene, you need to be immersed in the moment and X100V’s advanced hybrid viewfinder gives you everything you need to do exactly that. At the flick of a switch, you can change between the X100V’s 0.52x magnification optical viewfinder (OVF), which uses parallax-correcting frame lines to let you see outside the shot, and its 3.69M-dot OLED electronic viewfinder (EVF), which gives you a real-time preview of your exposure. You can even get the best of both worlds by using the electric rangefinder function (ERF) to activate a mini EVF display within the OVF window.
  • Frame the Perfect Image: X100V has been specifically tailored for photographers who are never without a camera by their side and always ready to frame a moment. The two-way, tilting LCD touchscreen is a perfect example of Fujifilm’s tailored design. This new technology within the X100V offers quick, intuitive controls and makes struggling to frame images from difficult angles a thing of the past. Furthermore, when folded flat it fits seamlessly into the camera’s slim line body, and in doing so, this sophisticated LCD touchscreen finds the perfect balance between functionality and portability.
  • Movies on the Move: The X100V allows you to explore a whole new world of image making with the ability to create stunning 4K video at 30 frames per second. Additionally, super slow-motion footage can be recorded using the camera’s Full HD/120p setting, so you can relive details that would otherwise be missed by the naked eye. This professional-level quality is backed up by Fujifilm’s outstanding color reproduction technology and unique selection of in-camera film simulation modes, while those who need more fidelity can record 10-bit, 4:2:2 color via the HDMI port.
  • Lens type: Wide Angle

Unmatched Image Quality & Character

The Fujifilm X100V earns its bestseller status primarily through its exceptional image output. The combination of the 26.1MP back-side illuminated X-Trans sensor and the sharp, fast 23mm F2 lens produces images with stunning detail, beautiful color rendition, and superb low-light performance. Fujifilm's legendary film simulations, like Classic Chrome and Acros, are built-in, allowing photographers to achieve distinct, film-like aesthetics straight out of the camera, which significantly streamlines the workflow for both hobbyists and professionals.

Superior Handling & Tactile Experience

In an era of menu-driven complexity, the X100V stands out with its intuitive, dial-based controls. Aperture, shutter speed, and exposure compensation are all adjusted via dedicated physical dials, offering a shooting experience that is both engaging and fast. This tactile interface, combined with the compact, discreet body, makes it less intimidating for street photography and allows photographers to focus on composition and moment rather than navigating digital menus.

The Revolutionary Hybrid Viewfinder

This feature is a cornerstone of the X100 series' success. The advanced hybrid viewfinder provides the best of both worlds: the lag-free, natural brightness of an optical viewfinder with a digital overlay for focus peaking and exposure preview, and the precision of a high-resolution 3.69-million-dot electronic viewfinder. This flexibility is a significant advantage over competitors, catering to traditionalists and modern shooters alike within a single, elegant package.

Build Quality & Discreet Design

Its popularity is also driven by its build and form factor. The camera boasts a premium, all-metal construction that feels solid and durable. Its classic, rangefinder-style design is not only beautiful but also functional, as it draws less attention than a bulky DSLR or mirrorless camera with a large lens. The addition of weather resistance (with an accessory) further enhances its reliability as a go-anywhere companion for travel and adventure photography.

While the Fujifilm X100V is a masterpiece for its intended use, it is not a universal camera. Its most significant limitation is the fixed 23mm (35mm equivalent) lens. Photographers who require versatility—such as those needing telephoto reach for wildlife or sports, or an ultra-wide angle for architecture—will find this camera restrictive. It demands a "zoom with your feet" mentality and a commitment to a specific focal length, which can be a drawback for users coming from zoom-lens cameras.

The camera's autofocus, while improved from previous generations, may not match the blistering speed and subject-tracking capabilities of the latest high-end mirrorless cameras from Sony or Canon. In fast-paced, unpredictable action scenarios, it can occasionally hunt or lag. Furthermore, the battery life is modest, typical for compact cameras. For a full day of intensive shooting, carrying at least one spare battery is highly recommended, which adds to the overall cost and what you need to pack.

Another consideration is the price point. The X100V is a premium product, and its cost positions it against advanced interchangeable-lens camera bodies. For the same investment, a user could purchase a capable mirrorless camera body and a prime lens, gaining the flexibility to change lenses in the future. Therefore, the X100V represents a commitment to a specific photographic philosophy and style rather than the most flexible tool for a growing kit.

The Fujifilm X100V is not just a camera; it's a statement piece for photographers who prioritize experience, design, and image character above sheer versatility. It excels as a dedicated tool for street, travel, and everyday documentary photography, offering unparalleled image quality, a joyful tactile interface, and an iconic design that inspires you to shoot more. Its limitations, like the fixed lens, are inherent to its philosophy rather than flaws.

We highly recommend the X100V to photographers who have a strong affinity for the 35mm focal length and value a compact, discreet, and beautifully engineered tool. It is perfect as a secondary camera for professionals seeking a creative companion or as a primary camera for enthusiasts dedicated to mastering a single, classic perspective. If your needs demand lens flexibility for sports, wildlife, or macro work, a traditional mirrorless system may be a more practical choice. However, for those who connect with its unique appeal, the Fujifilm X100V is an investment that pays dividends in creative satisfaction and stunning photographs.
