Re: X100V or 23mm F1.4 WR

I've have owned the original X100, two X100Ts, an X100F, and currently have two X100Ss. This is purely subjective but to me, the most beautiful colors come from the S & T, which share the same 16mp X-Trans II sensor. To me the biggest advantages to the X100F were the 20mp sensor, if you like to crop your images, plus moving to the W126S batteries, while the biggest disadvantages are more dials, buttons, and menu additions to make using it more complicated. With the X100V you are lusting after, they redid the lens, supposedly improving it.probably added more unnecessary stuff and I believe made the body just slightly larger, so you can't use any of the X100 series accessories you already have.

I have never owned the X-H1 so I have no idea how good a body it is. It often touted as being designed for videographers and since the only video I ever shot was by accident, I never paid any attention to it. But if you are happy with yours, purchasing the 23mm f1.4 lens makes more sense because if you decide to get another Fuji ILC body down the road, you can use that 23mm f1.4 on it as well, or if you replace the X-H1, you don't have to replace the lens along with it.
