The Fujifilm X100V is a great little camera, and it’s one I’ve particularly enjoyed shooting with. I also shoot with both the Ricoh GR III and the Sony RX100 VII, some other small cameras that are each excellent in their own way.
They’re all quite different cameras, but the thing they have in common is that they’re all excellent choices as small, go-anywhere cameras that are great for travel photography, general everyday photography, and, especially street photography.
Of those three cameras, the X100V is the most traditional. Its design and aesthetic are old-school. It definitely reminds me of my old Olympus OM-1 and Nikon FM, two cameras I have fond memories of using for several years when I was just starting photography.
The X100V has a 26-megapixel APS-C sensor that shoots photos that measure 6240 x 4160 pixels.1
It has a fixed Fujinon 23mm ƒ/2 lens. So the lens is quite fast, and the 23mm translates to an equivalent focal length of around 35mm on a full-frame sensor.

So here are some sample photos I’ve taken with the Fujifilm X100V. I would have loved to get the camera out and about more and have a wider variety of shots, but that just hasn’t been feasible lately. And when I was out shooting, I was primarily shooting with black and white in mind–something I’ve been increasingly getting back into.
But I’ve tried to include here a variety of lighting conditions and settings here in the hope that this collection will still be useful to someone for some real-world examples of the photos that come out of the camera. These were all originally shot in RAW and have been lightly processed in Lightroom. I’ve not applied any corrections to these beyond the usual defaults in Lightroom.

The X100V has also been out long enough that you might have luck finding some used ones available. These are some good places to try:
Accessories for the Fujifilm X100V
Below are model numbers for some of the core accessories for the Fujifilm X100V, along with some other recommendations.
Memory Card:
The Fujifilm X100V doesn’t come with a memory card, and there’s no officially recommended specific model. But the X100V does feature relatively high-bitrate video recording, which means you’ll need a card that can keep up with the large stream of data, especially if you’re shooting video or burst photos.
I’ve put together some more detailed recommendations on SD cards for the Fujifilm X100V separately, but here are some quick recommendations.
USB Cable:
To connect your Fujifilm X100V to a computer, and for some charging operations, you’ll need a USB cable. The X100V has a USB-C (USB Type-C) connector. You’ll need a cable that can transmit data as well as power.
There are various configurations available depending on the length of cable you need and the connector on the other end of the cable (i.e., for what you’re plugging it into).
Most computers have Type A USB connectors. Some of the newer laptops only have a smaller USB-C connector. So you’ll need to check the device you’re connecting the camera to.
Battery & Power Accessories:
- Battery: NP-W126S. The Fujifilm official battery isn’t cheap but does have the advantage of being officially supported by Fujifilm as working with the X100V. You can also pick up much more cost-effective aftermarket versions, which can be excellent alternatives.
- Battery Charger: BC-W126S. Again, there are various aftermarket versions that can offer good value. Find them under the same model number.
- AC Power Adapter: AC-9V
- DC Coupler: CP-W126
Remote Shutter Release:
- Remote Shutter Release: RR-100 This is a cable shutter release with pretty basic functionality. It doesn’t include a timer or intervalometer. (For intervalometer / time lapse functionality, try the aftermarket JJC shutter release.)
Lens Accessories:
- Telephoto Conversion Lens: TCL-X100II. This is a dedicated telephoto conversion lens that magnifies the view by 1.4x and converts the field of view to the equivalent of a 50mm lens (35mm equivalent).
- Wide-Angle Conversion Lens: WCL-X100II. This is a dedicated wide-angle conversion lens that broadens the X100V’s original lens field of view by 0.8x to offer the equivalent of a 28mm focal length (35mm equivalent).
- Protector Filter PRF-49 / PRF-49S
- Lens hood: LH-X100. There are also aftermarket versions that are much more cost-effective and do fundamentally the same thing. You can find them under the same model number.
- Adapter ring: AR-X100
Camera Case:
You can obviously use just about any camera bag for the X100V. There are some excellent street-style messenger bags that make for good options (like Domke’s messenger bags (I’m a big fan of these) or these from ONA), but any there’s nothing specific about the X100V that requires a specially configured camera bag.
But Fujifilm (and some third parties) also make an old-school leather case that fits snugly around the camera and can remain in place (with a flip-down top section) while shooting.
- Leather Case: LC-X100V
Hand Grip:
- Grip Belt: GB-001. This is a hand grip / wrist strap that attaches to the tripod mount on the bottom of the camera.
Microphone:
- Stereo Microphone: MIC-ST1
Flash:
- Shoe Mount Flash: EF-X500
- Shoe Mount Flash: EF-X20
- Shoe Mount Flash: EF-60
- Wireless Commander: EF-W1
