Fujifilm X100V

The Fujifilm X100V is good for travel photography. While it's pretty big for a point-and-shoot, its compact fixed-lens design is still much smaller than most interchangeable-lens cameras and makes it easy to travel with. Out-of-the-box image quality is excellent, and the camera performs well in low light thanks to good high ISO performance and a wide-aperture lens. The lens has a built-in ND filter, meaning you can use a wider aperture or slower shutter speed on brighter days. Its fixed 35mm-equivalent focal length forces you to move around to properly compose your shots, which some people may prefer, though it isn't as versatile as a fixed zoom lens for farther-away subjects. Unfortunately, the camera isn't the most comfortable due to its small handgrip. It isn't fully weather-sealed unless you purchase separate sealing accessories for its lens.

The Fujifilm X100V is the camera to get if you like the idea of a Leica rangefinder, but also want modern amenities like autofocus and video.

The perfect compact camera for the smartphone age, the X100V is a great street photography sidekick that takes the series to new heights. Its tilting screen brings some welcome versatility, while the new sensor, autofocus system and viewfinder make it a fun, engaging travel camera. The fixed focal length won't be for everyone and it's relatively pricey, but the X100V is the best premium compact you can buy.

We’re now five generations on (V taking the place of the roman numeral for five) and Fujifilm has taken all it has learned in the past decade to create what should be, on paper at least, the perfect street camera.
