Fujifilm FinePix X100 review
Fuji X100: Overview In the decade or so that digital cameras have been widely available, manufacturers have always looked to the design of classic cameras for inspiration. Olympus's recent PEN series harks back to the film models of the same name, while Leica's M range continues with a design long...

If, a few weeks back, you happened to see a British chap d'un certain age wandering around Lamma Island, Hong Kong, with a retro-looking camera round his neck and humming This Year's Love , it was yours truly.

Fuji X100 Review
I can't say enough good things about the Fuji X100. It's the most I've enjoyed a camera in a long time. While it has some quirks in its menu and some slow behavior at times, a recent firmware update should address many initial complaints.

Fuji X100 Digital Camera Review
Are there better cameras that cost less than the $1199 price tag? I'm sure there are. But there aren't many that can match the sturdy build, good looks, and great performance in such a package smaller than a digital SLR.
Pros:
- + Looks great
- + Feels great
- + Smaller than a full-size digital SLR
Cons:
- - More expensive than your ordinary digital camera, - No zoom
- can't change lens, - If you want a petite camera, look elsewhere, - No auto-intelligent-preprogrammed-whizbang features, - If you take a lousy picture, you only have yourself to blame

[REVIEW-FUJIFILM X100]
This 12 megapixel APS-C format camera stands out for its striking retro style and construction quality. The heavy, brushed metal body is luxurious and the placement of the shutter speed dial on the body top and the aperture ring around the lens is classic camera ergonomics.
Pros:
- 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
Cons:
- The only thing that may hold the X100 back in the market place is the non-interchangeable lens
- 23mm on an APS-C sensor is moderate wide-angle and won't be to everyone's liking, even if it is optically dazzling

Fujifilm FinePix X100
After all I'd heard, I expected to write a short list of complaints about the Fujifilm X100 and move on, but as soon as I started using it, I discovered what the buzz was all about. The Fujifilm X100 is not made for everyone who ever liked the look of an old camera.
Pros:
- Attractive design
- Unique Hybrid Viewfinder floats a color LCD image over an optical view
- Simple analog controls for major exposure options
- Superb image quality
- Extremely quiet shutter
- JPEG engine does a very good job capturing most of the detail offered by the sensor
- Excellent high ISO
Cons:
- Slow startup time
- EV dial is loose
- easily changes in a camera bag or while suspended from a strap
- Rear Command Control is difficult to use
- AF switch is difficult to set
- Memory card slot and battery cannot be replaced while the camera is mounted on a tripod
- LCD overlay is sometimes too dim to
