Is the extra optical oomph worth the upgrade over the iPhone 15 Pro’s 3x (77mm equivalent) telephoto?

Various settings, including Film Simulations, can be applied to each exposure to produce a unique creative expression completely in-camera. The standard number of images that can be made per charge has significantly improved from previous generations. No way to select among the three different Auto ISO settings using the ISO dial; the dial has but one " A" setting and you have to go back into menus to select which of the three Auto ISO settings you want. You can see an electronic preview of the scene in the bottom right corner, while still framing the image using the OVF. All in all, the Fujifilm X100V is nearly the ideal and perfect choice if you need a day-to-day camera.We tested it side-by-side with a Fujifilm X-T3 fronted by a 23mm f/2 lens, and it’s certainly not quite up to the level of that combination – the X100V was noticeably slower and noisier, particularly in low light situations. For over a decade now, they've been slowly iterating and improving upon what was already a pretty good base. As such, video-related work should ideally be done atop a tripod or gimbal, unless you're okay with shaky recordings. I hope Fuji actually just manages to get production going again for the x100v, and waits a couple of years with that one. However having owned both xtrans and bayer sensored x100s it's hard to tell the difference in everyday use.

This powerful CPU not only ensures images are quickly and smoothly processed, but thanks to a new algorithm, boosts AF performance with precision face and eye detection right down to -5EV. On the plus side, images are sharper than it was before with the older models, especially at shorter distances or focusing in more closely. We've assembled a few of our favorite articles, tutorials, explainers, and guides to help beginners get started with photography and level up to advanced concepts.

Of course, that's not a major strike against the X100V, as fixed lenses are a mainstay among many other compact cameras, anyway.

Fuji's cameras, and this X100V, have color palettes strongly optimized for skin tones and portraits. This sits so flush to the back of the camera that it’s easy to miss that you can pull it up by 90 degrees and down by around 30 degrees. Then I turn it back on as I'm lifting it back up and it is ready to go before I'm looking through the viewfinder. The Electronic Range Finder (ERF) Function, blends the OVF and EVF are together to provide a unique experience. In both modes you get exposure information shown around the edges of your view, which can be turned on or off using the ‘disp/back’ button.

Weather resistance appears for the first time in the X100 Series when the optional AR-X100 adapter ring and the PRF-49 protection filter are attached to the X100V’s brand new lens. Let's better appreciate what we have, consider what gives us joy, and get out there to take some photos. The X20 has a small zoom (equivalent more or less to 24-105), fits really well in a small backpack, the quality is superb for 12 mp. Next iteration should be smaller, it should have an 18mm with the 40MP chip for cropping and better heat and battery management.

What made them particularly handy was the fact that you could use them while looking through the viewfinder.

Nothing limits us in the end except our imagination, the lack of time to get out and sometimes, the company we might be with at the time who put a subtle pressure on us to keep moving.This means you get the company's latest 26MP X-Trans APS-C sensor and processor combo, the promise of much-improved autofocus and the best video feature set we've seen on a prime-lens compact camera. The X100V looks just as good in the hand as it does in pictures – it’s expensive, but feels very premium. There is a cost to being free of dust and rain but in my mind if its advertised as weatherproof, it should be fully weatherproof. You kept talking about how the rx100 is so much better because it has a zoom lens instead of a prime.
