Fujifilm X100S Review

Don't be fooled by the Fujifilm X100S's retro exterior; it's a modern, full-featured digital camera that impressed us enough to earn our Editors' Choice award. The Fujifilm X100S ($1,299.95 list) is the follow-up to Fuji's groundbreaking X100 digital camera. Like its predecessor it features a retro design that makes it look more like a 1960s-era Leica than a modern digital camera, a hybrid viewfinder system that can toggle between a big, bright optical view and an EVF, and a fast f/2 lens with a 35mm (full-frame equivalent) field of view. The sensor has been upgraded to a 16-megapixel X-Trans CMOS design that is capable of producing some incredible results at extremely high ISO settings, and a notoriously sluggish autofocus system is now a reasonably quick one. The X100S's field of view is a little narrower than our current Editors' Choice prime-lens compact camera, the 28mm-equivalent Ricoh GR.

Fujifilm GFX100S Review

The Fujifilm GFX100S uses a stabilized medium format sensor to capture images with stunning resolution and makes only a few concessions compared with the much more expensive GFX100. While mirrorless full-frame systems perfectly serve most professional and hobbyist photographers, medium format cameras, such as the Fujifilm GFX100S ($5,999), use larger sensors that give you a different perspective on the world. The GFX100S is a slimmed-down version of the company's $10,000 flagship GFX100, with the same 100MP sensor, integrated image stabilization, and speedy phase detect autofocus for $4,000 less. It's our Editors' Choice winner for photographers looking to move beyond the confines of the full-frame format—just prepare to carry a bigger kit.A Back-to-Basics Design Fujifilm launched its medium format system in 2016 with the GFX 50S, an SLR-style model with an articulating, removable viewfinder. Later, it released the rangefinder-style GFX 50R and the larger, gripped GFX100. The GFX100S takes inspiration from all of these—it handles like the original 50S, has a fixed EVF like the 50R, and uses a five-axis IBIS system to steady its 102MP sensor, much like the GFX...
