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

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
Rock solid build qualit Retro styling, bright lens and DSLR-sized sensor combo Stunning low light performance, Lovely shallow depth of field effects with sharp subjects and blurred surroundings
The expense, Backplate buttons could be larger and the scroll wheel is unnecessarily fiddly, No zoom, Common image quality issues including purple fringing and lens flare

Cool retro design; great picture quality even at high ISOs; unique hybrid viewfinder; leaf shutter mechanism for quiet operation.
Confusing menu structure; rear controls a tad messy; performance a bit sluggish.
The X100's design, hybrid viewfinder and image quality are its strengths, but it won't satisfy users who want a camera that delivers snappy performance. ...
Abstract: The Fujifilm FinePix X100 looks like an old Leica rangefinder, has a lens that won't zoom no matter how much you fiddle with it, houses an SLR-quality sensor and boasts a unique hybrid viewfinder.The design is beautifully retro – very 1950s, with a wealth...
Great looking retro design; excellent ISO performance; innovative hybrid viewfinder system; intuitive control layout.
Expensive; iffy autofocus performance; cannot change settings while recording video; mediocre battery life.
There's little doubt that the Fujifilm FinePix X100 is one of this year's most unique cameras. It is as if Fujifilm designed the X100 specifically for camera enthusiasts who yearn to use their old rangefinder cameras again. Yes, what really defines th...
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
