When the first images of the new Fuji X100V leaked I felt a little frustrated that Fuji decided to add a swivel screen, rearrange the buttons, and make all edges sharp and clean. I thought it kind of mimics Leica. And it does to a certain extent.

But when the camera was announced, and I saw the detailed images and videos, I started to like the concept. There is still something I like more in the previous model – X100F but in general I have to admit the changes are for good and the design may grow in me once I get my hand on the camera.

Fujifilm just announced the 5th generation of their legendary X100 series camera – X100V. Fuji X100 was initially shown at the Photokina show in September 2010 and was introduced in February 2011. I remember the hype when the first one came out. It was something new, something different, it was beautiful, it was powerful, it was sexy and almost pocketable. Of course it was slow, and probably that was the reason it never reached my camera bag.
