Fujifilm X100F vs Fujifilm X100V: Physical Specs and Body Features Comparison

Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, we are going to illustrate the Fujifilm X100F and Fujifilm X100V side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm X100F has external dimensions of 127 x 75 x 52 mm (5 x 2.95 x 2.05″) and weighs 469 g (1.03 lb / 16.54 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm X100V has external dimensions of 128 x 75 x 53 mm (5.04 x 2.95 x 2.09″) and weighs 478 g (1.05 lb / 16.86 oz) (including batteries).

Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm X100F and the Fujifilm X100V. Fujifilm X100F is 1mm narrower and 1mm thinner than Fujifilm X100F but they have the same height of 75mm.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Fujifilm X100F is 9g lighter than the Fujifilm X100V but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

Weather Sealing

Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the X100V, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the X100F.

LCD Screen Size and Features

Fujifilm X100F and Fujifilm X100V's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.

On the other hand, Fujifilm X100V features a Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Fujifilm X100F has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to X100V.


Fujifilm X100F vs Fujifilm X100V: Sensor Comparison

Fujifilm X100F has a 24.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS X-TRANS III sensor and features X-Processor Pro processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm X100V has a 26.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features X-Processor Pro 4 processor.

Another similarity between these two cameras is that both Fujifilm X100V and Fujifilm X100F sensors lack anti-alias (Low-Pass) filters. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moiré occurring in certain scenes.

Below you can see the X100F and X100V sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Fujifilm X100F and Fujifilm X100V Cameras


Fujifilm X100F and Fujifilm X100V have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.

Fujifilm X100F vs Fujifilm X100V Lens Specs Comparison

Fujifilm X100F and Fujifilm X100V features 35 mm F2.0 Prime lenses so they have the same focal reach and light collecting ability.

Both cameras have a wide angle coverage of 35mm and have the same max aperture of f2.00 at this focal length. Both cameras have a tele angle reach of 35mm and have the same max aperture of f2.00 at this focal length.
