There's a lot to like about the Fujifilm FinePix X100
Superb quality quality
Exceptional image quality
Versatile yet easy to use
The editors didn't like
A few operational issues
Such as loose menu pad dial and small menu button
Quality design comes at a hefty price
The expense
Backplate buttons could be larger and the scroll wheel is unnecessarily fiddly
No zoom
Common image quality issues including purple fringing and lens flare
Optical viewfinder could be more accurate
Slow to start up and save pictures to the memory card
Macro focusing required for subjects less than 80 cm away
No stabilisation
More custom controls would be nice
Macro not as efficient
Still pricey
Not the fastest AF
Some macro focus issues
Expensive
Not for the mass market
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
Prosumer hardware in hipster packaging. Builtin flash, but the blazingfast 35mmequivalent f/2 lens and maximum ISO of 12,800 mean you won't need it much
One lens only. Waterresistant? This camera isn't even rated for use in humidity over 80 percent. Sorry, Florida
Looks great, + Feels great, + Smaller than a full-size digital SLR
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
