Real-World Sample Photos from the Fujifilm X100V

The Fujifilm X100V is a classic everyday carry, but spec sheets can’t show you how the files actually render. Here is a gallery of my real-world sample photos, complete with the exact exposure settings I used for each shot.

Practical field notes, hands-on gear tests.

The Fujifilm X100V is a fantastic little camera, and it’s one I’ve genuinely enjoyed carrying. In my kit, it sits alongside the Ricoh GR III and the Sony RX100 VII — two other compacts that excel in their own specific ways.

While they all have vastly different design philosophies, they share one common trait: they are perfect go-anywhere tools for travel, daily carry, and street photography.

Of the three, the X100V is easily the most traditional. Its tactile dials and old-school aesthetic immediately remind me of my old Olympus OM-1 and Nikon FM — two cameras I have fond memories of using when I first started shooting.

The X100V has a 26-megapixel APS-C sensor that outputs photos measuring 6240 x 4160 pixels.1

It features a fixed Fujinon 23mm f/2 lens. It is fast enough for low light, and that 23mm focal length translates to a classic 35mm equivalent field of view on a full-frame sensor.

Here are some sample photos I’ve taken with the X100V.

I’ve tried to include a variety of lighting conditions and settings here, hoping these real-world examples give you a solid feel for the files this sensor produces.

There’s some strong flaring in the top right corner that I didn’t notice at first because I was shooting in black and white mode.

It seems to struggle to find balance with yellows and greens, something I’ve found with other Fujifilm cameras and films.

David Coleman

I take photos for a living. Now based in Washington, D.C., I have spent the last 30+ years shooting across seven continents — from underwater environments to mountain peaks. My images and time-lapses have appeared in major newspapers, magazines, museums, professional sports stadiums, and even on massive architectural scrims covering world-famous buildings.

I started this site in 2009 to field-test gear, share problem-solving solutions, and share what I've learned in shooting around the world. I only review gear and services I have personally used. No armchair opinions — just real-world experience. Because, for me, the fun is in the making of the photo.
