FUJIFILM X100V Digital Camera, Black {26.1MP}

Fujifilm X100V: the fixed-lens compact street photographers actually use

The X100V pairs a 26MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor with a redesigned Fujinon 23mm f/2 lens, 35mm equivalent, in a body small enough to live in a shoulder bag full-time. The optical formula was rebuilt from the ground up compared to earlier X100 models, addressing the close-focus softness that had long been a complaint, with minimum focus now reaching 10 centimeters. Nine aperture blades give the lens a smooth rendering quality that works well for environmental portraits and documentary work, and the built-in 4-stop ND filter means shooting wide open in bright conditions without reaching for a separate filter.

The hybrid viewfinder remains one of the more distinctive tools in this camera's kit. Flip between a 3.69M-dot OLED electronic finder and an optical finder with parallax-compensating framelines, or run both simultaneously via the Electronic Rangefinder function. For street and travel photographers, that optical experience is genuinely useful, you see the world beyond the frame while the EVF insert handles exposure confirmation. The 425-point phase-detection AF system covers nearly the full frame, with face and eye detection that tracks reliably in real-world candid shooting.

Weather resistance, a tilting touchscreen, 4K video with 10-bit 4:2:2 output over HDMI, and Film Simulations that produce publication-ready JPEGs straight from the camera round out a package that has proven itself as the go-to compact for travel photographers, street shooters, and working photographers who want one capable camera always on them. The X100V earns its reputation every time you take it out of the bag.

FAQ

What's the minimum focus distance on the X100V?

10 centimeters. Fujifilm redesigned the optical formula specifically to address the close-focus softness that plagued earlier X100 models, making it genuinely useful for environmental portraits and detail shots.

Can I use the optical viewfinder and electronic viewfinder at the same time?

Yes, via the Electronic Rangefinder (ERF) function. It displays a small live EVF insert in the lower right corner of the optical view, letting you confirm exposure and focus while composing optically.

Does the X100V have weather sealing?

The body is weather-resistant, but you need to attach the optional AR-X100 adapter ring and a protective filter on the lens to achieve full sealing. It's a minor extra step that most travel shooters consider worth it.

How many autofocus points does the X100V have?

425 phase-detection AF points spread across nearly the full frame. In Zone and Wide/Tracking modes, you're limited to 117 points in a 9×13 grid for speed, but Single Point mode gives you access to all 425 for precision work.

What video capabilities does the X100V offer?

4K UHD and DCI at up to 30fps, plus 120fps at 1080p for slow motion. It can output 10-bit 4:2:2 video over HDMI, which opens up grading flexibility for serious video work on this compact.

Can I still use older Fujifilm converter lenses on the X100V?

Yes. The lens was redesigned internally but kept the same external dimensions, so the WCL-X100 wide-angle and TCL-X100 telephoto converters mount without issue.

How much has the built-in ND filter improved?

It now provides 4 stops of light reduction, up from 3 stops on the X100F, letting you shoot f/2 in bright sunlight without adding filters or stopping down.
