If you have X100T and you care about stills and not video, you will not get much by moving to X100V

I am long time happy user of the Fuji x100T. it is great camera, simple to use , with lots of manual control, the one thing I was not happy about was the focus speed. So I bought the X100V.

The X100V is not a totally different camera, but if the previous models were focus on still photography this one is supposed to be good for video as well, which I do not use. other things in the camera I am not planning to use

- touch screen - disabled it completely.

- face detection and all the focus points.

- tilt screen

- i miss the 4 way controller

- q button position is not comfortable

the battery, i was hopping to use the batteries I have from my Fuji X-T1, but they are not optimised for X100V, and there is a message on the screen telling you these are not optimal for fuji x00v.

On the image editing side.

I use a relatively old stand alone version of lightroom, so the RAW file can not be edited in this version for that i purchased Iridient X-Transformer, and that changes my workflow.

Bottom line - IMO - If you have X100T and you care about stills and not video, you will not get much by moving to X100.

There isn’t a rating there for street photography which is weird cause the X100 line are pretty much made for the street. The big advantages the X100V has over all the other X100 cameras is:

1) the flip screen: this is something I wish I had on my X100S cause I like to shoot from the waist or lower sometimes 2) snappier AF: fast AF is a real advantage for street photography especially when shooting wide open i.e. not zone focusing; 3) better resolution at f2; 4) more megapixels: better for cropping with that 23mm lens; 5) more film simulations like Eterna.

The X100F has some of these features like a 24mp sensor and a variety of film simulations but as charming as the older X100 cameras are, the V is miles better IMO.

I'd say the even bigger advantage is being a compact WR body... There's basically 0 small WR bodies in the whole market, this is the first. If price comes down I might get one just for having a 23mm f2 WR small camera, and get rid of my 27 pancake. I could see the X100v being my daily all conditions driver at some point.
