There's a lot to like about the Fujifilm FinePix X100

But the blazingfast 35mmequivalent f/2 lens and maximum ISO of 12

Highend feel
Superb image quality and hybrid viewfinder
The editors didn't like
Expensive
Optical viewfinder takes getting used to due to moving frame and 90% coverage
Viewfinder is hard to see in low light
Or when wearing polarized sunglasses and shooting in the portrait orientation
Design annoyances
Plasticky fourway controller is too small and easy to press the wrong direction
Power switch too easy to bump
Buffer memory fills up quickly
Long write times when RAW i
Dodgy RAW conversion support from thirdparties
Goes crazy when you snap a picture with the lens cap on
No Leica logo on the front (kidding!)
Slow startup time
EV dial is loose
Easily changes in a camera bag or while suspended from a strap
Rear Command Control is difficult to use
AF switch is difficult to set
Memory card slot and battery cannot be replaced while the camera is mounted on...
More expensive than your ordinary digital camera
- No zoom
Can't change lens
- If you want a petite camera
Look elsewhere
- No auto-intelligent-preprogrammed-whizbang features
- If you take a lousy picture
You only have yourself to blame
Very poor multiselector
Confused interface and sluggish performance
No lens zoom for those that need it
Expensive relative to compacts
Optical viewfinder doesn't aim down the lens
No external microphone input
Not really meant for sustained burst shooting.
Sluggish autofocus system
Slow manual focus ring
Severe yellow cast under tungsten lighting
LiveHistogram shows metered exposure
Previews metered exposure
Not actual
Clear but pointless OVF
Two dials needed per exposure parameter
No AEL with MF
I
Steep learning curve
Pricey
Slow AF
Complicated handling
Unfamiliar physical and in-camera UI
Sluggish performance
Especially for such a high-priced camera
And a frustrating navigation control make shooting with the camera a lot less fluid than it should be
One lens only. Waterresistant? This camera isn't even rated for use in humidity over 80 percent. Sorry

The Fujifilm X100S Costs $1,200 (I got it for way less by trading in a bunch of old Nikon lenses and an SB900 flash), and is worth every penny. It's the first digital cameras I have used that comes close to being as good as my old Leica M6. No, it's not a...
The X100 is a truly pioneering camera that has brought retro styling back to market in a big way. Though retro styling aside the real beauty of the X100 is that it offers the market a relatively inexpensive rangefinder camera that delivers incredible ...

After patiently waiting so long to get to finally try the Fujifilm X100, we find ourselves walking away just a bit confused. To be clear for the most part, the X100 is a wonderful camera that truly takes lovely photos. There’s no question that short of...
Abstract: Causing more stir than it would seem to deserve, the Fujifilm Finepix X100 may not by itself cause waves in the retail market, but many of its features will surely be taken up by other makers. They just make an awful lot of sense!Snatching the X100 fr...
