Sorry, click bait headline. Yes, the camera is worth it in general but...

Seems to be the EVF/OVF is the defining feature. If you find you like EVF better, is there any reason to get an X100V as opposed to one of the other Fuji X bodies and lenses?

I like the camera but I am a fan of the film sims, and the OVF is a fun, different experience but I also like a EVF, especially if I’m shooting a film simulation, I like seeing how the shot will roughly come out vs just the OVF view. So if I’m just going to put it in EVF mode all the time, is the X100V the best option?

I'd say the defining feature is more the 23mm f2 lens that's tiny and recessed into svelte WR rangefinder body.

So if you want to work with a 35 lens in a low profile body, and that's your go to focal length, then I'd go for it.

For me, I like the camera, ideal Fuji body style for me,  but prefer EVF by far at this point... OVF was cool in like 2012 when EVFs weren't very good.

I don't ever see myself using an OVF again, so part of the x100 and x pro appeal is lost on me.
