X100Svs X100V
GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Street & Travel — X100S (2013): The X100S was the moment the X100 series became legendary. Dramatically faster phase-detect AF, X-Trans II image quality, Fujifilm's film simulations, and the iconic hybrid viewfinder in a pocketable fixed-lens body — the blueprint every subsequent X100 has built on. A brilliant used-market buy for street and travel photographers who want the Fujifilm experience at an accessible price.
Street, Travel, Everyday — X100V (2020): The camera that made fixed-lens popular again. Still one of the best walking-around cameras ever made.
