Fujifilm X100V Close-up: 26.1MP X-Trans BSI CMOS Sensor 4th generation, new 23mm f / 2.0 lens, the screen has been able to rotate 2 directions

The X100V is the latest Fujifilm rangefinder hybrid camera and is the fifth version of the X100 series.

The exterior design of the X100V has not changed much, the overview is still very familiar to Fujifilm users so far: the compact body, continuous lens, viewfinder deviate to the left corner of the machine.

However, if you pay close attention, you will see the corners are sharper and not rounded like the previous version.

The most noticeable upgrade point on this machine is that the screen has been able to flip 2-way (up and down) for users to have easier viewing angles and layouts. Besides, touch to focus or take photos has also been added on this model, although maybe not everyone needs it, especially for those who like to take photos on the street. was mistakenly touched on the screen. The screen size remains the same at 3 inches, but the screen resolution has increased from 1.04 million to 1.62 million pixels.

Besides, the machine is also about 1mm thicker, and weighs nearly 10gr, which is not significant because this machine is still compact and can be used for long periods. The grip is improved, a little deeper than the top so the grip is also more solid.

The top of the X100V is the same as the previous model, with 2 parameters of the wheel adjustment parameters on the right half. We have big wheel dials for changing ISO and shutter speed, while smaller wheels for EV changes. If the X100F previously had to lift, hold the wheel to rotate the ISO value change, now on the new version you do not need to hold anymore, just pick up and change the ISO only.

After 4 editions, nothing changed, Fujifilm finally gave this 5th edition a new lens system. Still 23mm (35mm equivalent of full frame) and F / 2.0 but inside has been redesigned, adding an aspherical glass inside to increase border definition and focus better.

Other upgrades include a 26.1MP X-Trans BSI CMOS sensor (4th generation), 117 phase-detection focus points covering 99% of the sensor area, and these can be subdivided into 425 combined focus points. Fujifilm also said the new algorithm also helps the X100V to identify eyes and faces better.

The X100V can shoot burst shots at 11 frames per second (mechanical shutter) or 20 frames (electronic shutter). Finally, the X100V can also record 4K / 30p and 1080 / 120p movies, output 10-bit, 4: 2: 2 signals via HDMI.
