Fujifilm X100V Takes Home The Gold From DPReview


The Fujifilm X100 kick off Fujifilm’s modern digital line of cameras so it should come as no surprise that it took home a solid gold from DPReview. In the past the camera has gone between gold and silver, but the X100V represents a back to back gold with the X100F, so it seems the X100 has finally arrived at a sold Gold status, but I would honestly enjoy shooting any of the X100 cameras. You can read the full review here and see what they didn’t and didn’t like below.

What we likeWhat we don’t
  • Updated 26MP sensor offers good noise performance and fast readout
  • Excellent, highly tunable JPEG engine with good detail and noise reduction
  • Multiple film simulations with truly pleasing color output
  • Redesigned lens removes close-up ‘haze’ of previous models and improves corner performance
  • Class-leading 4K video capabilities
  • Tilting touchscreen
  • Great electronic / optical viewfinder
  • Good build quality, optional weather-sealing
  • Impressive low-light autofocus
  • Limited customizable buttons with elimination of four-way controller (Touchscreen function swipes won’t be to everyone’s taste)
  • Outright autofocus speed is still on the slow side
  • Face-and-eye detection UI a bit clunky
  • Full weather-sealing requires additional purchase
  • Some odd customization limitations, particularly for My Menu
  • Menus are getting overly complex
  • AF performance is less effective in OVF
  • Redesigned OVF makes it harder to anticipate AF point location
