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.

| What we like |
What 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
