Fujifilm’s X100V is a great camera for street photography. It’s compact, pairs a good sensor with a sharp lens and has a handy tilting display. Despite its small size, the X100V also excels at 4K video shooting. However, now that users have had a few months to play around with the camera, it’s become clear that it does overheat easily, especially when shooting video. Fujifilm just released an update that addresses the problem, and while the firmware won’t fix the camera’s thermals, it will at least warn the user before it shuts down.

Capturing video requires a lot of battery usage and processing power, and the resulting heat can overpower the camera and cause it to shut down, especially when shooting indoors. Even big DSLR cameras suffer from overheating. While it’s rare to lose a piece of footage to a shutdown (most cameras automatically cut the clip and save it before completely shutting down) it’s still painful to have to wait until the components have cooled down enough to turn back on — several great shots could go unfilmed. 

The only thing that’s giving me pause, aside from the gentle weeps emanating from my credit card, is the X100V. That’s the rumored name of the the X100F’s successor, and it’s apparently going to be announced very soon. Months of reporting from Fuji Rumors has given us a fairly complete picture of the purported new model. As expected, it’s said to feature the latest version of Fujifilm’s X-Trans sensor (the 26.1-megapixel unit found in cameras like the X-T3), paired with an all-new 23mm lens. It’s likely to cost an awful lot more than $900, though, with Fujifilm Rumors recently suggesting it could debut at $1,500 this February.

I’ve been trapped in a perpetual loop of doubt for years now. Just before the X100F was announced I wanted to pull the trigger on the then-discounted X100T, but decided to wait. Now the X100F is discounted and I have the same problem again. If you’re more decisive than me, though, you can grab the X100F on Amazon now.
