Fuji Finepix X100
The Fuji Finepix X100 is a uniquely intriguing camera. Its inconspicuous analog-camera look is alluring for its quantity of buttons and dials, promising efficiency while shooting. A one-of-a-kind hybrid viewfinder lets it have an EVF and an optical-tunnel viewfinder in the same place.
Pros:
- Superb image quality in compact size
- Extremely low noise
- Very good sharpness from wide-open
- Flexible rendition of colors and tones
- Bright lens with F/2 maximum aperture
- Real aperture ring
- Leaf-Shutter allows High-Speed-Sync
- Built-In 3-Stop ND Filter
- Plenty of external controls
- Inconspicuous...
Cons:
- Sluggish autofocus system
- Slow manual focus ring
- Severe yellow cast under tungsten lighting
- Live-Histogram shows metered exposure
- Previews metered exposure
- not actual
- Clear but pointless OVF
- Two dials needed per exposure parameter
- No AE-L with MF
- Illogical and under-used button functions,...

Great everywhere camera
Unlike the bulky DSLR, I can take Fuji X100 with me anywhere I go. The sensor-lens combo produces excellent image quality, better than most DSLR I used. Handling takes time to get used to. Prime lens is wonderful. I don't find myself missing the wide-angle, since there is panorama mode.

"State Of The Art, Hidden In A Retro Design"
Despite taking it up as a "option" (now there is an old term for you) when I was at school, to be honest photography has always alluded me. I'm very much a point and click kind of guy, I like a camera to focus for me, and essentially be a perfect shot.
Pros:
- As advanced or as simplistic as you want it to be
Cons:
- Almost impossible to understand manual

can't afford a leica?
can't afford a leica? this is probably the next best thing to the leica m-9. I dont own the x-100 but thanks to a friend i've had the opportunity of spending some time with it. for the price it's a good buy.

Great general photography camera, but...
not for those who want just a point-and-shoot. The reason I'm saying this is that this camera -along with the Fujifilm X-Pro1 / X-E1- is on par with the greatest full-frame DSLRs out there (for instance Canon EOS 5DMkIII / 6D...), if we talk about picture quality. The UI however, is quite complex.

Very simple to use, high speed focus and response time. Great pictures. Really appreciate this camera.

The best non DSLR Ive ever used.
In fact better than many DSLRs Ive used too.I dont know where to begin praising this camera, so Ill start with the one negative, which applies to all non-DSLRs, and many no pro spec ones at that - the focus speed is a bit slow, but faster than others ie Canon M, Nikon 1, Pens.The 23mm fixed lens is
Pros:
- Durable
- Fast Aperture
- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality
- Lightweight
- Sharp Lens
- Simple Controls
Cons:
- Expensive
- Slow focus
