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

[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

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.

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

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,...

REVIEW: Fujifilm Finepix X100
Not quite as flexible as a DSLR, nor as user friendly as a standard compact, the Finepix X100 is a bit of an anomaly in the digital camera market. It's lovingly designed, and its hybrid viewfinder may well prove to be a sneak-peek at the future of high-end snappers, not to mention the sheer quality...
