The editors didn't like
It's expensive
Fuji's menu system is less intuitive than alternatives
The lens has a few quirks
As does the autofocus system
Lowlight AF slow and inconsistent
Video quality
Even at 60p
Compromised by moire and lack of image stabilization
Combined fourway pad/Command dial means AF control points cumbersome to change
Too easy to bump control dials and change settings acciden
Bigger than some other large-sensor compacts. Lens suffers from edge softness. Macro shots at wide apertures have a soft-focus look. Video could be better. No image stabilization. Rear LCD could be sharper
The flash has some seriously weak game
Very slow autofocus in lowlight
Some overexposure
Some cast under tungsten lighting
Wrong LiveHistogram
Based on display
Not ExposurePriority
Clear but pointless OVF
Two dials needed per exposure parameter
No AEL with MF
Illogical and underused b
Image quality less than what is achievable from an APSC sensor
No shake reduction
Slow and somewhat inaccurate autofocus
LCD smallish and of low resolution by today's standards
Shutter speeds can't go lower that 1/4 s in autoexposure modes
Quirky con
Clumsy control system
Video is an afterthought
Minor build quality complaints
Controls take longer than usual to master. Battery life and meter can cut a planned long day shooting too short
Abstract: If the Canon 5D Mark III is the world's best DSLR and the Fuji X100S is the world's best digital camera, which is best?Easy: they are each best for different things. They are each completely different kinds of cameras, just as girls are completely differe...

Superior 16MP stills, Excellent Hybrid viewfinder, Very responsive
Expensive, Not geared toward casual users, no matter how much money they have, Small LCD screen with so-so quality

It's expensive, Fuji's menu system is less intuitive than alternatives
