The shutter button has a screw mount for a soft shutter button or remote release, and the camera provides a satisfying click with the leaf shutter. The X100V puts all of the controls for photography on my right hand side. This is very important since I’m not able to open up the camera for cleaning. I have also noticed no dust or specs in the viewfinder or showing on the filter. I’ve used my X100V on mountain trails, in thunderstorms, in hot dusty deserts, and in temps just below freezing without issue. The 23mm f/2 lens is also weather sealed, but requires a filter to fully complete the weather-proof package.

Underneath the milled aluminum plates and textured finish, the X100V body is weather sealed. There are also hot shoe thumb grips and attachable side grips one can purchase as accessories, but I find the standard build of the X100V comfortable enough.

I pair the X100V with the Peak Design leash and let the camera hang from my wrist to minimize the amount of time I have to manage the camera body in my shooting hand. The X100V has a very small ridge for a grip that can cause a little hand cramping on long days of shooting. I have experienced no premature wear or markings on the body, and like all of my Fuji cameras, the X100V appears to be built for long term use. The top and bottom plates are aluminum, and the front of the body has a textured satin finish. The Fujifilm X100V is a beautiful camera to look at, and feels very solid in my hands despite its small size.

Watch my video below to see the behind the scenes of how we captured these images and hear all my thoughts of the X100V. I have been enjoying using Fujifilm cameras to shoot with, I recently used the Fujifilm X-S10 with various XF lenses which is such a great little on the go camera! This would be the perfect camera to keep on you at all times while travelling, doing street photography or just capturing moments of daily life. One of the things I love the most about the Fujifilm X100V is the size and it’s stylish look. I decided to do an on location, natural light portrait photoshoot with the X100V to test out the image quality, focus accuracy, sharpness and overall performance of the camera. The Fujifilm X100V is a small, lightweight and compact camera.
