Vintage look
Yields impressive images
Thanks to great photo quality
A clever hybrid viewfinder
And a cool
Retro design
There's a lot to like about the Fujifilm FinePix X100
Prosumer hardware in hipster packaging. Builtin flash
But the blazingfast 35mmequivalent f/2 lens and maximum ISO of 12
800 mean you won't need it much
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

Abstract: The verdict's out, not only is the Fuji X100 a mighty fine camera that can take beautiful pictures, but it also looks pretty damn good with the whole retro vibe going for it. It almost seem like a sin to cover-up a grand looking instrument like X100 in a ...

Abstract: Initial ImpressionsWith its rangefinder-style design, two-tone black and silver finish, and analog controls, the Fujifilm FinePix X100 would look right at home alongside decades-old film cameras. This isn't a knock on its design, but rather, a compliment....
Exceptional design, Large, clear optical viewfinder, Quick f/2 lens provides speed and background blur, Very low noise in high ISO images
High price, Slow AF system, Slow manual focus ring
We've been trying to find a way to sum up our feelings about the Fujifilm FinePix X100, and the closest we can come to is this: The X100 is like an eccentric genius; mostly brilliant, but interrupted by head-scratching quirks.The design is stunning, let d...

La Fujifilm FinePix X100 es mucho más que un cuerpo bonito y colmará de satisfacciones a los que decidan hacerse con ella. La nueva Fuji es, ante todo, una herramienta creada para apasionados de la fotografía. Un diseño tan espectacular como efectivo, la...
El diseño que está muy bien logrado. Nivelador de horizonte en la pantalla de LCD. El lente es muy luminoso y abre hasta f2. El disparador es muy silencioso
Pesa un poco, ya que el cuerpo es de titanio. No tiene zoom, es de óptica fija. El precio es relativamente alto si se considera que por el mismo dinero se puede comprar un equipo réflex profesional
Precisa para los fanáticos de la fotografía que se hayan quedado con el gusto de tener una cámara mecánica. Su diseño hace que los verdaderos amantes de la fotografía la consideren un equipo único....

Abstract: Por todos es sabido que la FinePix X100 de Fujifilm tiene una apariencia matadora (y –todo hay que decirlo- tres cuartos de lo mismo podría ocurrir con la etiqueta que marca su precio ). Ahora los chicos de Photography Blog nos confirman que su llamativo ...
Qualité d'image, Réactivité globale en nette hausse, Viseur hybride, Qualité de construction, Ergonomie "manuelle"
Commandes physiques parfois trop petites, Incohérences dans les menus, Vidéo limitée
Les Fujifilm X100 sont comme certains grands crus: inlassablement, ils se bonifient avec le temps. Pour cette quatrième édition, le X100F ne déroge pas à la règle, avec sa réactivité et sa définition en hausse, son ergonomie physique améliorée et son pla...
Si vous avez les moyens et recherchez la meilleure qualité photo possible, le FinePix X100 est là. Mais il faut vraiment l’essayer avant de l’acheter pour vous assurer que le système de mise au point ne vous rend pas fou....
