I sold my x100v within 1 day, above retail price. I have my XE4 for now, and I wanted to wait for the next gen x100v. The x100v is close to perfection - the build is very premium. Looking forward to see what they do with the next gen, I am hoping for IBIS and 30MP+.

I had the chance to use a silver X100V from a guy I know and I can tell do not come even close to the premium build and feel of my Leica M8 or M9P. Considering an X100V goes for around $2000 these days, I think is a fair comparison.

Weird. It feels pretty close to my M10, but maybe even better ergonomics. You don't have to take off the whole bottom plate to swap a battery.

Now way it does… nowhere near the same weight or feel of metal. Doesn’t mean it’s not a great camera in its own right. I prefer the weight of Fujis.

I would consider higher weight a sign of lower build quality or worse design, when a camera can be build lighter.

I wouldn’t…some quality metals are heavy. Are you really trying to say a Leica M is of lower build quality?

No, but I wouldn’t like the X100V to be heavier.

Mine is plenty heavy

  • Lensmate Thumb Grip.

Has some nice heft now + and an Arca Swiss plate along the entire bottom.
