FUJIFILM Introduces the X100V

A brand new camera that needs no introduction? That'd be the FUJIFILM X100V; the fifth iteration of its immensely popular X100 series of premium compact cameras. These cameras have been around for nearly a decade, and the core elements of design has hardly changed over the years. So, how did FUJIFILM improve upon something that's been refined, but hardly changed, over such a long span of time? It added a few more missing features and brought the camera up to speed for 2020. Honestly, though, what more could you want from a camera that is already so dialed-in?

FUJIFILM X100V comes in two finishes: black or white.

The key update to the X100V—V as in "Five," whereas F was "Four" and T was "Three," and so on—is the incorporation of FUJIFILM's current X-series flagship sensor. This new model features the same 26.1MP APS-C X-Trans BSI CMOS 4 sensor that is used in the X-T3 and X-Pro3 mirrorless bodies. Along with the extra couple of megapixels, this new sensor opens up imaging capabilities quite a bit compared to its predecessor, the X100F. Both sensors are FUJIFILM's trademark X-Trans design, which uses a less conventional pixel array to help reduce moiré and improve color and tonality, but the 26.1MP sensor improves in the speed, sensitivity, and clarity arenas.
