Fujifilm X100V enthusiast compact notably improves on its predecessor

Visible upgrades like a better viewfinder and tilting LCD join a variety of image-quality and performance enhancements. Fixed-lens compact cameras based around APS-C-size sensors have come and gone.

With the X100V, it gets some pretty significant and welcome updates inside and out, including a tilting LCD, a lockable ISO dial, better weather sealing, an improved viewfinder, a new version of the 23mm f2 lens and the 4K video and image pipeline -- X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor, X-Processor 4 and more -- of the XPro3.

Fujifilm X100V review: The fixed-lens champion

You might need to be as rich as a king to buy one, but then the X100V is indeed king of the fixed-lens compacts. Close-up shooting at wide-open aperture settings is still a problem, but the addition of a bracket-mounted touchscreen show that Fuji is evolving this series for the better.
