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

Filters are JPEG only, Bulky, Limited continuous AF
Buying Guide Best compact camera The Fuji X100S isn't likely to find favour with novice photographers, but many enthusiast photographers will love it. Its retro-style exposure controls are a joy to use, and turning an aperture ring or a shutter speed dial...
The Fujifilm X100s is a pleasure to use and really does capture the look and feel of a film-based rangefinder camera. You won't get much closer than this without actually buying a film camera. The classically arranged and styled controls give a manual fee...
Abstract: Fujifilm's portable Finepix X100S is the second entrant in our retro camera round-up, and it comes armed with a beefy 16.3-Megapixel sensor and both a LCD display and a viewfinder with two modes - but is it enough to take the top-spot? Hit play to find...
Abstract: More importantly, however, the camera itself has been given an upgrade, in the form of the physically identical X100S (which, of course, the converter also fits). Improvements can be seen in almost everything – and that was starting from a heck of a basel...
