Fujifilm X100V vs XF23mmF2 and XF23mmF1.4 :: X100V, A Missed Opportunity :: Why X100V is better than iPhone :: More First Looks
BHphoto video – Introducing the X100V
As you probably know by now (if not, do your homework and check back the X100V live blogging ;) ), the Fujifilm X100V has a new XF23mm f/2 lens, that definitely delivers a significant improvement over the previous lens, which was designed for the 12 megapixel original X100.
Finally Fujifilm updated it. And they did a pretty damn good job.
But how does it compare to the other Fujinon 23mm lenses in Fuji’s offering, the Fujinon XF 23mm f/1.4 and the Fujinon XF23mm f/2?
Well, today we try to investigate this any many more question in a dedicated Fujifilm X100V roundup:

Fujifilm X100V: Silver beats Black… and Which One do You Prefer?
This Sunday I would like to investigate a crucial question.
It’s probably the questions of all questions.
The Fujifilm X100V looks better in silver or black? ;)
I have a theory I will explain later… but first the rankings.
If we look at the BHphoto X100V page, we see they mark the X100V silver as “#1 seller“ and the X100V black as “top seller“.
But the ranking might be “drugged”, as the silver Fujifilm X100V will ship 1 month earlier than the black Fujifilm X100V. So people might have grabbed the silver one, to get it earlier.
And now my theory:
I find some Fujifilm cameras look better in silver, whereas others in black. I never knew why. But one day I got the illumination, and I found the answer.
Rangefinder styled Fujifilm cameras with optical viewfinder look better in silver (such as X100V), whereas Fujifilm cameras without optical viewfinder look better in black (such as X-E3).
Of course this is just my personal taste. But I noticed this pattern in my taste. Don’t know if it’s the same also for you.
With that said, frankly both colors look awesome on the Fujifilm X100V.

Loading ...Fujifilm Removes Tatsuo Suzuki from X Photographer Program after his Controversial Street Photography Shooting Style in X100V Video
The Controversy
At the launch of the Fujifilm X100V, Fujifilm released lots of X100V promo videos, some of them made by their talented X photographers. One of those videos, though, raised a huge controversy, so much, that Fujifilm removed the video just a few hours after it went online.
However, here on FujiRumors, we shared a link where you can still find the video.
The video raised a massive debate, with currently over 730 comments in our original post. Is this a legit way to make street photography or is Tatsuo Suzuki’s style to intrusive and aggressive?
Over 4,000 people voted a survey on this subject, and you can see the results here. Spoiler: it’s an extremely divisive topic.
