This camera not only feels right to anyone brought up on classic 35mm film cameras it also delivers the goods in excellent images with good colour
Sharpness and dynamic range. The lens is outstanding and the viewfinder simply brilliant.
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

The only thing that may hold the X100 back in the market place is the noninterchangeable lens. 23mm on an APSC sensor is moderate wideangle and won't be to everyone's liking
Even if it is optically dazzling
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

Abstract: The long-awaited FinePix X100 is a true street machineWhat's Hot: Extremely High image quality; cool design. What's Not: Too many controls lost in the menus. Who it's For: Shooters looking for a rangefinder-like experience without breaking the bank.With...
The highly anticipated Fujifilm X100 delivers the excellent image quality photo enthusiasts will demand from a $1200 camera, but it is not without its share of first-generation faults.
Abstract: The images I get from my Fuji X100 are nothing short of amazing, under every lighting condition from desert sun to dim restaurants to moonlight. The X100 makes people's skin tones look fantastic, and gives great col...

If you have the bucks and you want the best photo quality possible, the Fujifilm FinePix X100 delivers. But definitely try before you buy to make sure the focusing systems won't make you crazy.
Superb image quality, Bright, quick lens, Exceptionally solid build and grip, Smart physical and onscreen controls, Optical viewfinder with overlay and electronic option, Good preview LCD, Wide range of bracketing modes, Remote shutter option,
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.
The X100 isn't an easy choice to make if you're just shopping casually. At $1,200, it's twice as expensive as an entry-level interchangeable lens camera and three times as much as advanced compacts like the S95. To some extent, that's understandable an...
Excellent photo quality, with very low noise levels, Cool rangefinderstyle body, complete with manual aperture/focus rings and dials for shutter speed and exposure compensation, Very fast, sharp F2.0, 23mm (35mmequivalent) lens, Oneofakind, large hybrid viewfinder can be optical (with a framing guide and tons of shooting data overlaid) or electronic (with 1.44M pixels), 2.8" LCD display with 460k
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
The Fuji FinePix X100 has been making a lot of waves in the digital photography world since it was first shown at Photokina in 2010. How could you not drool over a rangefinder-style camera with an APS-C sensor, fast prime lens, and unique hybrid viewf...
Abstract: Fuji X100, f/4, 1/150s, ISO 200. Having used my new for a few more days and on various different occasions I have some more things to say about it. Once focus is achieved there isn’t any shutter lag. I spent quite a bit of the day in manual focus b...
Abstract: Fuji X100 in macro mode, f/2.8, 1/150s, ISO 200. Shot in RAW, converted with Silkypix to TIFF then processed in Photoshop CS3 to JPEG. My hands were shaking as I carefully removed the outer garments. There it was: The slinky, shiny, jet black box. O...
Highend feel, superb image quality and hybrid viewfinder
Price, can be a touch slow in operation
With the FinePix X100 it's quite clear that Fujifilm has pulled out all the stops when it comes to this camera. The look and feel of the camera is superb - as soon as you pick up the X100, it's obvious that you're dealing with a quality photographic to...
Abstract: Fuji X100, f/2.8, 1/55s, ISO 800. I know I’m not alone in my excitement for this little camera. I like traveling light and rarely take a DSLR kit with me to social events or holidays. Hence, I’ve tried numerous compacts, the latest of which was the ...
