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
Abstract: Black X100 Limited To 10,000 Units As expected, Fujifilm has introduced a black version of its hugely popular FinePix X100 retro-style digital camera, but it's restricted to a limited edition run. A total of 10,000 units will be made worldwide (with le...

Like: 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.
Dislike: The only thing that may hold the X100 back in the market place is the noninterchangeable lens. 23mm on an APSC sensor is moderate wideangle and won't be to everyone's liking, even if it is optically dazzling

If you have the bucks and you want the best photo quality possible, the Fujifilm FinePix X100 delivers. But definitely try before you buy to make sure the focusing systems won't make you crazy....
Abstract: Designed for serious photographers wanting a compact back-up camera for street or travel photography, the X100 features a 12.3-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, a non-interchangeable Fujinon 23mm f/2 prime lens and a new Hybrid Viewfinder that combines the bes...
Look wise this is the most attractive compact camera which you love to carry around. Image quality But you may find the operation of this camera bit frustrating. It has flaws that we never expected to see on a camera in 2011, including the inability t...
Abstract: The camera market has certainly shown signs of growth over the last two years or so with the launch of many new power performers. The latest in the world of cameras is the all new Fujifilm FinePix X100, which is definitely a camera but can rather be consi...
Cool retro design; great picture quality even at high ISOs; unique hybrid viewfinder; leaf shutter mechanism for quiet operation.
Confusing menu structure; rear controls a tad messy; performance a bit sluggish.
The X100's design, hybrid viewfinder and image quality are its strengths, but it won't satisfy users who want a camera that delivers snappy performance. ...
Abstract: The Fujifilm FinePix X100 looks like an old Leica rangefinder, has a lens that won't zoom no matter how much you fiddle with it, houses an SLR-quality sensor and boasts a unique hybrid viewfinder.The design is beautifully retro – very 1950s, with a wealth...
Great looking retro design; excellent ISO performance; innovative hybrid viewfinder system; intuitive control layout.
Expensive; iffy autofocus performance; cannot change settings while recording video; mediocre battery life.
There's little doubt that the Fujifilm FinePix X100 is one of this year's most unique cameras. It is as if Fujifilm designed the X100 specifically for camera enthusiasts who yearn to use their old rangefinder cameras again. Yes, what really defines th...
Exceptional design, Large, clear optical viewfinder, Quick f/2 lens provides speed and background blur, Very low noise in high ISO images
High price, Slow AF system, Slow manual focus ring
We've been trying to find a way to sum up our feelings about the Fujifilm FinePix X100, and the closest we can come to is this: The X100 is like an eccentric genius; mostly brilliant, but interrupted by head-scratching quirks.The design is stunning, let d...
