There's no denying that £1000 for a compact is very steep and this is likely to put it out of reach for many people. This is a shame, because it's a beautifully crafted camera that feels superb in the hand and offers excellent results from its APS-C senso...
Abstract: And the love in question – apart from the oddball island, which is now practically my second home – was this equally oddball new camera, the Fujifilm X100. Last year's love was the Leica X1 , and yes, yes, I still adore it. But this head-on competitor fro...
Abstract: Image Gallery: The Finepix X100 has obviously been a labour of love for Fujifilm. Every single aspect of its build seems finely detailed, recalling the same retro-chic that only Lecia seem to have been able to successfully conjure of late. Mixing a p...

The Fujifilm FinePix X100 has plenty of attractive features, including its retro design, excellent picture quality, hybrid viewfinder and fast autofocus. It misses out on a fifth star for the sake of a few annoying details (slow start-up, battery life ...
The X100 is a great camera to use – fun, involving, and capable of very good images in all sorts of light. It’s well-constructed, and although the retro design won’t be to everyone’s taste, I love it. Finding a compact that forces you to engage with m...

Sluggish performance, especially for such a high-priced camera, and a frustrating navigation control make shooting with the camera a lot less fluid than it should be
The Fujifilm FinePix X100 is a serious piece of photographic kit. Not only is it beautifully built, but it also offers excellent performance. Few concessions to beginners and a high price make it a specialist-only camera, though....
Superb quality quality, Exceptional image quality, Versatile yet easy to use
Very expensive, Fixed zoom lens, Slightly fiddly controls
The camera powers up from cold in a couple of seconds, meaning a fractional delay as you immediately move your forefinger from power switch to shutter release buton, but this is not too shabby by any means. Moreover, in not having a zoom that allows frami...
