The Fujifilm X-S10 and Fujifilm X100V are Fujifilm APS-C bodies from different lines — the X-S and the X100. Both launched in 2020. At launch the X-S10 was 999 USD and the X100V 1,399 USD, making the X-S10 the more affordable of the two.
On paper the X-S10 is the stronger body of the two. It gives you 6-stop in-body stabilization and a lighter 465g body.
The X100V isn't far behind. It hits back with 11 fps continuous shooting, a hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder, and 420-shot battery life.
So which one? If you want 6-stop in-body stabilization, get the X-S10. If 11 fps continuous shooting is closer to what you actually need, the X100V is the smarter buy. And the X-S10 costs less — 999 USD at launch.
Buy the X-S10 if…
Pick the X-S10 if 6-stop in-body stabilization, a lighter 465g body matters to you. It also launched cheaper at 999 USD. It is the better fit for buyers who already lean toward X-S handling. Read the full X-S10 review for the use-case-specific pros and cons.

Pros and cons mirror the in-house X-S10 review and X100V review.
This is the whole decision and the specs barely touch it. The X100V is a fixed 23 mm f/2 — a 35 mm equivalent — and it will never be anything else. The X-S10 is an X-mount body that takes whatever you put on it. If 35 mm is how you already see, the X100V is a complete camera and the missing lens mount is the point. If you want a wide for landscapes and a fast portrait prime, only one of these two can do that, and the X-S10 is not expensive.
Both bodies carry the 26.1 MP X-Trans IV sensor with the X-Processor 4, ISO 160 to 12800, 425 AF points, and face and eye detection with no animal or subject modes. Both record 4K/30 with F-Log in H.265 or H.264. Both have a single SD UHS-I slot and neither is weather sealed. On every measure of image quality these are the same camera in two shapes.
The X-S10 has 6 stops of in-body stabilisation. The X100V has none. That is a genuine gap for handheld video and for low shutter speeds in poor light, and it is the strongest argument for the X-S10 at any price. Pointing the other way, the X100V's hybrid finder switches between optical with a live frameline and a 3.69M-dot electronic view; the X-S10 has a 2.36M-dot EVF and nothing else. Neither body can do what the other one does here.
The X100V bursts at 11 fps to the X-S10's 8, and CIPA rates it at 420 shots against 325 — both wins for the compact, both explained by it not having to drive a lens motor or an IBIS unit. The screens go the other way for video: the X-S10's flip-out articulating panel faces forward, the X100V's tilts only. If you record yourself, that alone decides it.
The X-S10 launched at 999 USD and the X100V at 1,399 USD, and both are discontinued. Their used markets have gone in opposite directions: the X-S10 is an ordinary second-hand body, while X100V demand outlived its production run and it does not trade like a five-year-old camera. Buy the X-S10 if you want stabilised 26 MP with a lens mount for the least money. Buy the X100V if you want the fixed-lens camera specifically, and check the price before you assume it is the cheaper option.
