Fujifilm has announced its new premium compact cameras FUJIFILM X100V.

This new model features the same 26.1MP APS-C X-Trans BSI CMOS 4 sensor that is used in the X-T3 and X-Pro3 mirrorless bodies. Along with the extra couple of megapixels, this new sensor opens up imaging capabilities quite a bit compared to its predecessor, the X100F. Both sensors are FUJIFILM's trademark X-Trans design, which uses a less conventional pixel array to help reduce moiré and improve color and tonality, but the 26.1MP sensor improves in the speed, sensitivity, and clarity arenas. Coupled with the also-new X-Processor 4, this sensor has a back-illuminated design that improves image clarity when working in low light and helps to reduce apparent noise at higher ISO values. Also, the sensor-processor combination offers continuous shooting up to 11 fps with a mechanical shutter.

Supporting DCI and UHD resolutions at up to 30 fps, along with Full HD recording at up to 120 fps, the X100V is by far the most video-capable model of the X100 series.

The X100V has been updated to a 3.69m-dot OLED EVF (an optical window finder and a high-resolution electronic viewfinder) and, when flicked away, the optical finder still makes use of some electronic information to help recognize settings and even gain some focusing control with the Electronic Rangefinder function.

X100V has a 3.0" 1.62m-dot, tilts touchscreen, which is the same as the X-Pro3's hidden screen. And it removed the D-pad in favor of just the rear joystick. Among some other cosmetic and exterior changes, the most noteworthy update is that this camera is now weather-sealed. However, please note that it is weather-sealed once you add the optional AR-X100 Adapter Ring and an optional 49mm filter, such as the PRF Protective Filter.

In addition, the Fujifilm X100V features a new second-generation 23mm f/2.0 lens to ensure that every detail from its X-Trans CMOS 4 Sensor is resolved beautifully.

Fujifilm has also added two new lenses which are — XC 35mm F2 and GF 45-100mm F4. The XC 35mm is a prime normal-length lens that is designed for APS-C-format FUJIFILM X-mount mirrorless cameras. It provides a 53mm equivalent focal length and a bright f/2 maximum aperture.
