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 FinePix X100
Underneath the sweet '70s styling and "analog" controls, the Fujifilm FinePix X100 is possibly the most advanced rangefinder-style camera ever (yes, we know about the Leica M9), though not the most rugged.

[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 Review
The Fujifilm X100 is here, offering DSLR-like image quality and noise performance in a decidedly un-DSLR-like package. The classic rangefinder look is smart and relatively compact, at least compared to the typical DSLR. Materials, fit and finish are quite good.
Pros:
- Very good images
- color
- Great features for serious shooters
- Useful hybrid viewfinder
Cons:
- Cost
- Slow write times
- AF average to a bit slow

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

The Fujifilm X100s is a pleasure to use and really does capture the look and feel of a film-based rangefinder camera. You won't get much closer than this without actually buying a film camera.
