Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

A longtime advocate for Fujifilm going back to their film days, their digital Mirrorless cameras have captured more than countless photos but this photographers loyalty. I have shot with numerous Fujifilm Mirrorless cameras; XT1, XT2, XT3, XE3, XPro1 but my favorite digital cameras of all time are the X100 series. With heavy experience with the X100S, T and F, the V hit all the marks that I would have hoped for bringing me back to the beloved X100V. I have been traveling the world with a Fujifilm Mirrorless camera by my side most of the time and the X100V is without a doubt a travel/street/documentary/family/everyday photographer’s best tool as it will always come with you. The updates to the V makes this version of the X100 so capable in such a small form factor. The weather sealing, the new iso dial, the tilting screen, the new lens, the larger brighter viewfinder, the performance and more just puts this over the top. If you have a T or before, it’s an absolute upgrade if you have been waiting or wanting to burn some of that hard saved money. From the F to the V, if you’re on a budget the F is a gem of a camera, but if you don’t worry about the extra cash, upgrade and don’t look back, you won’t. I’ll be posting photos soon to Instagram @thedharmalife as nearly 90% of those photos are all shot with Fujifilm cameras with a 23mm (35mm FF) lens and many with the X100 series line of cameras. Only two things if I were to be very picky as the updates already put these as small gripes. Firstly, I miss the D-Pad for the extra programmable short cuts. I have not liked the touch swipes as short cuts. Secondly, the tripod mount, blocks the battery and SD card slot when on a tripod or capture clip is attached. FYI: Lensmate X100F thumb grip is not compatible with X100V Older Fujifilm leather cases are not compatible with the X100V You may have to get a plastic screen protector (not glass) while this a new release because you will probably need to trim to fit the beautiful tilting display. If they come out with a perfect fitting glass sometime in the future, I recommend that. If you need a case, Op/Tech makes a few that’s fits; the body, the compact D and their soft pouch easy close 523. If you aren’t using a lens hood go with the Op/Tech body. If you have the adapter and lens protector and still want to use the lens cover go with the compact d. If you prefer a quicker in and out go with their soft pouch easy close as it states it is easier I just don’t like the fit personally. DM me if you have more questions on IG, otherwise, what are you waiting for? Fujifilm has another winner on their hands and there is nothing else on the market that competes with it for output and cost.
