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.
