A great camera for hiking, city walking, or on vacation. Easy to use for a beginner, but it packs a great feature set that experts will love (despite its convenient size). The design and build on this camera are impeccable.

Fujifilm's X100F advanced compact has an upgraded sensor and processor.

The previous generation of Fujifilm's popular enthusiast "compact" with an APS-C-size sensor, the X100T, had been around for over two years before Fujifilm debuted the X100F, and the camera had only gotten one significant update since it launched in 2011, when the original X100 graduated to the X100S. And while the X100F has essentially the same design, albeit with a few layout tweaks, Fujifilm has made some notable improvements in the camera. That, combined with a dearth of cameras in its category -- fixed-lens compacts with large-ish APS-C sized sensors -- makes the X100F pretty much the only game in town at a reasonable price. Thankfully, it's worth the money.

An advanced compact for wide-angle and manual-photography fans, the Fujifilm X100F improves upon an already great camera with better autofocus performance and a fine-tuned design on top of its already excellent photo quality.

The Fujifilm X100F produces excellent photos and the updated autofocus system is a great improvement; Plus, it improves on the control layout and retains the manual-optimized shooting design and fast lens that have made it a favorite.

Sad battery life.

The Fujifilm X100F is simply a joy to shoot with, experts say. Beautifully retro and refreshingly simple, the X100F has a fixed 35mm-equivalent lens that delivers gorgeous images straight out of the camera, even in low light.

Retro rangefinder styling; Outstanding image quality; Robust manual controls; Fits in a jacket pocket; Full 1080p HD video

No built-in zoom; No image stabilization

The X100f is a great camera, no doubt. But so is the X100t, at a lower cost. And for my personal style of shooting I prefer the X70. With that said I still can see why you would/should go for the X100f. Good morning coffee selfie. Crazy amount of push in the shadows for this one.

I've always had a soft spot for the Fuji X100 series and despite its imperfections, it is still my favourite camera from the brand to date. So even though I knew I would be reviewing more or less the same camera once again, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the X100F – the fourth iteration in...

The Fujifilm Finepix X100 is designed like a classic viewfinder camera yet it offers state-of-the-art digital technology and some brand new and innovative systems. The Hybrid viewfinder, for example, is an example of a sophisticated enhancement of a classic concept.

As we come to the end of this test and review, we conclude the following: those wanting to buy their first camera should look for one that is cheaper and better than the FujiFilm FinePix X1000.

The X100F takes Fujifilm's high-end compact series into its fourth generation, building upon the previous X100T with the latest 24 Megapixel X-Trans III / APSC sensor and additional controls.

Good-looking, fairly compact body with lots of controls, Great quality out-of-camera; Industry-leading JPEG engine, Innovative hybrid viewfinder with optical and electronic views, Fixed 23mm f2 lens perfect for general and street photography, Leaf shutter is quiet and supports fast flash sync speeds

No stabilisation; Limits usefulness for video, Lens soft at close focusing distances, No 4k video, and 1080p limited to 15 min clips, Screen doesn't tilt and isn't touch-sensitive

The X100F is basically an upgraded X100T, but the enhancements are worthwhile: the excellent 24-MP APS-C CMOS III sensor found in the professional X-Pro2 and X-T2; the Focus Lever ("AF joystick") that makes choosing a focus point a snap; a second Command (Front) dial; a retro ISO dial (with the...
