I've been saying for years that professional photographers have been neglected in the pocket camera world. And just literally, I got off the phone with my good buddy Ian Pettigrew. He asked me for advice on buying a nice compact camera; and we ultimately decided on a film camera.

My favourite camera is the Fujifilm X100V. I bought it in February 2020 and have only used it twice, mainly because of the lockdown. Out of the 22 cameras in my possession, 14 of which are vintage, this is the one I would keep if I could only have one.
Testing the Fujifilm X100V during the COVID 19 scare has been a pleasing challenge. Of the cameras that I've tested this year so far, this one has to be my favorite. The Fujifilm X100V has a whole lot going for it too.

With over 2,500 entries from participants worldwide, we can see that lots of folks take street photography very seriously.
The Fujifilm X100V is a fantastic street shooter, and these photographers prove it. The X100 series has long been a popular choice amongst the street photography community. The sleek design, fixed lens, and rangefinder-style are perfect ingredients for a reliable, well-performing camera for street photography. But, of course, a good camera is only part of
Compact cameras have seen a lot of improvements in the past few years. Faster autofocus, better ISO resolution, filters, IBIS, megapickles: the list of advancements is deep. Fujifilm has been at the forefront of innovation with its x100 series of cameras.
The Fujifilm X100V is finally the X100 series camera that I've always wanted. Is it weather sealed? Fujifilm says that if you put a UV filter on the front, it will be fully sealed. Does have a rangefinder-style body? Yes.
The X100V is so popular that Fujifilm has announced it is temporarily stopping orders for the digital camera because the company has too many purchases to process. [Read More]
Every time Fuji releases a new camera I feel like this is the generation that will let me leave Canon behind. I had the same hopes and eventual disappointments with the XT2 and the XT3.

Photographer and YouTuber Matt Granger has released an informative side-by-side comparison of all five of Fuji’s X100 cameras—from the original X100 to the brand new X100V. If you’re wondering which of the five cameras is the best value, this is a great place to start.
Over three years ago, I tested out the Fuji X100F and was introduced to the pleasantries of carrying around a capable point and shoot. Today’s agenda is the fifth installment of Fujifilm’s X100 line of cameras: the Fuji X100V.
Fujifilm found itself in the middle of a heated debate about ethics and street photography yesterday, when one of the promo videos it released for the Fuji X100V sparked outrage among a certain segment of the company’s fans on YouTube.
