I still prefer a body with interghangeable lens and the price tag is IMO overevaluated

Well there's a little Ricoh that's cheaper, and a slightly larger FF Sony that's three times the price. So for this type of high end fixed lens camera, it's price is in the lower middle range. And it's really well made, too.

For a fixed lens ASPC camera at this size and price point, it has no equal. Nothing else compares to it's build quality, materials, features and IQ.

Agreed. Also, re interchangeable lenses, I've got 23 covered with one prime (the f2), the 10-24, 16-55 and 18-55. For me, the X100V is too limiting..and Fuji has some great glass.

And its design. It's a beautiful object with a level of refinement in the V which sets it apart.

I am told the OVF is an expensive addition and will push the price up somewhat.

There are few other things special about the X100V vs other Fuji cameras & think the cost is justified (leaf shutter, nd filter, WR, compact size..)

Now for those who want an interchangeable lens camera, this obviously this isn't for you.

So yes I guess it's the best fixed lens camera ever!

Enjoy OP

Oh yeah! I have always found the 35mm equivalent lens on my x100f to be fantastic for wildlife and sports shooting. I now simply leave my 300/2.8 Nikkor lens attached to a Nikon body at home now collecting dust when I do such shooting.

It was exactly what I was after when I decided to get rid of my older camera and lenses. It’s so much fun to use, and there’s something special about using the dials.

Better the X100F for me, easier menus and no heat issues.

It is without doubt a great camera, a capable one for its intended purposes, and well made with a great design and look. Would I like one? Yes! Did I buy one? No, I opted for the XE line instead for flexibility.

But the 'best camera ever'? That implies the best in all photographic genres. It may be for some, such as street, family outings, urban vacations, etc, which would have been my uses. But I would not consider it the best for sports, birds and wildlife, etc. That said, it remains a great camera without doubt.

Perhaps the OP could care less about sports and wildlife?
