We already listed pros and cons of each model. However, you may also find useful to look at their common strengths and weaknesses shown side-by-side.

Screen

Fujifilm X100V and Fujifilm X100F have 3.0" screens with 1,620k dot and 1,040k dot resolutions respectively. Fujifilm X100V has a Tilting screen which makes it very useful for photography purposes but not so useful for video shooting. Fujifilm X100F has a Fixed screen Fujifilm X100V also features touchscreen which has advantages such as easy menu navigation, intuitive controls, quick setting adjustment and most importantly a Touch-to-Focus functionality allowing users to select a specific point on the screen where they want the camera to focus. This feature can be helpful for achieving precise focus in both photo and video recording.

Viewfinder

Fujifilm X100V has a built-in Electronic and Optical (tunnel) viewfinder with 3,690k dot resolution and Fujifilm X100F has a built-in Electronic and Optical (tunnel) viewfinder with 2,360k dot resolution. Fujifilm X100V has 95% coverage (0.52x 35mm equivalent) magnification and Fujifilm X100F has 92% coverage (0.5x 35mm equivalent) magnification.

Fujifilm X100V features a 26.1 megapixel APS-C BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 23.5 x 15.6 mm and a total area of 366.6 mm². Its native ISO range is 160 - 12,800 and expands to 80 - 51,200 in boosted mode. Fujifilm X100F features a 26.1 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor with dimensions of 23.6 x 15.6 mm and a total area of 243.4 mm². Its native ISO range is 200 - 12,800 and expands to 100 - 51,200 in boosted mode.

Fujifilm X100V has BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.

Fujifilm X100V is equipped with X-Processor Pro 4 processor and can take pictures up to 6240 x 4160 resolution. Fujifilm X100F is equipped with X-Processor Pro processor and can take pictures up to 6000 x 4000 resolution. It can also take pictures with lower resolution like 4240 x 2832, 6000 x 3376, 4000, x 4000, 4240 x 2832, 4240 x 2384, 2832 x 2832, 3008 x 2000, 3008 x 1688, 2000 x 2000 with 1:1, 3:2, 16:9 aspect ratios.

No Low-Pass Filter

There is no optical low-pass filter (OLPF), also known as an anti-aliasing filter, in front of the sensor on either of the cameras. This results in a slightly sharper image but may also introduce moiré patterns and aliasing artifacts when photographing subjects with fine, repetitive patterns or details.

No Image Stabilization

The cameras do not have image stabilization.

Built-in Wi-Fi

Cameras have built-in Wi-Fi which allows to easily transfer photos and videos from the camera to other Wi-Fi-enabled devices, such as smartphones, tablets, printers, or computers. This eliminates the need for cables and allows for quick and convenient media sharing and social media integration. It gives you the ability to control your camera remotely using a smartphone or tablet. This is particularly useful for taking self-portraits, group shots, or capturing images in challenging conditions without having to touch the camera. Firmware updates can also be downloaded and installed wirelessly.

Bluetooth on Fujifilm X100V

Fujifilm X100V has a built-in Bluetooth which lets you to connect the camera to a smartphone or a dedicated remote control device. This allows you to remotely trigger the camera, adjust settings and controls remotely through a paired mobile app. While Wi-Fi is generally faster for transferring larger files, Bluetooth can be used for small, selective transfers, it can provide real-time information about your camera's battery status, memory card capacity, and other key settings directly on your paired smartphone or smartwatch.
