Fujifilm FinePix X100 Review

Looking at the Fujifilm FinePix X100, you might be reminded of a simpler time and the age of analog photography. But once you get your hands on the camera and take it for a spin, that notion will be shattered. The FinePix X100 is a complicated camera that’s every bit as sophisticated as a modern DSLR. Of course, it also produces the same high-quality results as those professional devices, and is the first to introduce a hybrid viewfinder. As a sacrifice, the X100 comes with a steep learning curve and doesn’t offer much to help you out. But if you are a photography lover and viewfinder advocate, then you’ll likely be able to get past the X100’s quirks.There’s no denying the X100’s outer beauty: It’s an eye-catching, breathtaking camera that is sure to turn heads. This type of vintage, retro look is a big trend right now, with brands like Canon, Olympus and Sony all putting their own spins on classic styles. But there’s a big difference between these competing devices and the X100. These cameras are more like a modern take on throwback styles, rather than replications of the real thing. The X100 may pack new technology, but everything about its body is antique – in a good way. Yes, it's obviously incredibly reminiscent of Leica’s boxy look and solid feel, but the similarities don’t detract from just how pretty the X100 is.

Fujifilm FinePix X100

When it first debuted at Photokina 2010, I and lots of people like me were pretty excited about the Fujifilm X100, a fixed lens digital camera with a Hybrid Viewfinder. What's a hybrid viewfinder? Those who attended murmured something about a backlit color LCD overlaying an optical view. Great idea, I thought. Since then, I've heard about shortages and high demand. From the Imaging-Resource.com Lab there were rumblings of a difficult interface and annoying behavior. Both Luke, our main Lab Technician, and Rob, our SLRgear Lab Technician, had much to say about their troubles with the Fujifilm X100. DPReview, for its part, posted a list of complaints, and Fujifilm responded with a firmware update. That's when the Fujifilm X100 landed on my desk. The Fujifilm X100 was an ordinary looking camera, if your idea of ordinary is a rangefinder from 1962, with a shimmery metal top and leather coat wrapped tightly around its waist. Dials, knobs, and switches popped out from all the right places, not quite outnumbering its 14 buttons, mostly on its back side. So few cameras these days have interesting optics, but I found myself drawn to both the lens and the optical viewfinder.

Fujifilm FinePix X100

The Fujifilm Finepix X100 (MSRP $1199.95) made a huge spash when it was announced nearly a year ago at Photokina. We salivated over it at CES, and ran to get our hands on it at CP+. The performance and manual controls may be everything we dreamed, but a number of design and handling quirks make this a definite try-before-you-buy camera. The Fujifilm X100 has good color accuracy, easily contending with mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras and SLRs. Color accuracy in standard (Provia) mode with no color adjustments was 3.46, with a saturation of 114.1%. Accuracy was improved further by setting the camera to its “low color” option, for an accuracy of 2.88 and saturation of 104.2%. As we’ve found with other Finepix cameras, Fuji seems to believe that consumers prefer oversaturated colors, even if it means sacrificing accuracy. More on how we test color. Unsurprisingly, the results using the Provia film simulation are the most accurate. We also tested color accuracy using the camera’s Velvia and Astia options, which proved to be even more saturated than Provia. This is more or less in line with Fuji’s storied film lines that serve as the namesakes for the modes; Fuji color film was well known for its bold colors.

Fujifilm FinePix X100

From a market standpoint, the pricey Fujifilm FinePix X100 is a bit of an oddball. Though we traditionally call models like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 or Canon PowerShot G12 "large sensor" compacts, their CCDs are relatively tiny compared to the APS-C-size CMOS in the X100. ILCs like the Sony Alpha NEX or Samsung NX series have APS-C sensors, but they're higher resolution with smaller photosites. The X100 also sports a prime lens with a 35mm-equivalent focal length, while the less expensive, more mainstream-focused compact models incorporate zoom lenses; no matter how short the zoom range, a prime will usually deliver superior sharpness and clarity. But you can stick a nice prime on those ILCs as well. So what does the X100 deliver? Stellar photo quality and disappointing performance in a tanklike semicompact body with a cool but frequently frustrating operational design, all for a high--but circumstantially justifiable--price. As far as I can tell, the X100 delivers better photo quality than all of its less-expensive competitors, generally comparable to or better than the midrange dSLRs in its price range. It produces extremely clean images as high as ISO 800, with usable ones as high as ISO 1600.

Fujifilm FinePix X100 In-Depth Review

In amongst all the cameras announced at Photokina 2010 - including enthusiast SLRs such as the Nikon D7000, Canon EOS 60D, Pentax K-5 and Sigma SD1 - one utterly unexpected model stole the show. Fujifilm unveiled the FinePix X100, a compact camera with an SLR-size APS-C sensor and traditional analogue control dials, that hides ground-breaking technology inside a retro-styled body with looks to die for. It's the company's first camera with a large, APS-C sensor aimed at professionals and advanced amateurs since the S5 Pro DSLR of 2006. Fujifilm may be a company that's currently best-known for its prolific production of compact cameras, but in reality it has a long tradition of making somewhat left-field, unique cameras aimed at serious enthusiasts and professionals. The company regularly sought out market niches in the days of film, from its Fujica 6x9 format rangefinders, through the GA645Zi medium format ‘zoom compact', to the TX-1 35mm panoramic rangefinder (better known in Western markets as the Hasselblad XPan), all of which still command premium prices on the used market today.

Digital Cameras: SLR, Micro 4/3 and Interchangeable Lens Reviews

The Fujifilm FinePix X100 is one of those cameras that's been eagerly awaited ever since it was first announced! Officially presented at the Photokina 2010 camera and photography show, this expert compact is already worth its weight in column inches. With its Leica-style retro design, hybrid viewfinder (optical/digital) and fast, fixed -focal-length lens (equivalent to 35 mm), could this be the camera every photographer has always dreamed of? It's time to find out! The X100 is clearly playing on nostalgia for 35mm film cameras, with a design that's highly reminiscent of Leicas (the M6, in particular) and the Fujica V2, presented all the way back in 1964. It's therefore difficult to be objective about the X100 as you'll either instantly love or instantly hate its old-school look. On the whole though, we found most people rather liked it, and all the more so since the X100 has a high-quality metal finish and is generally nice to handle. The leatherette covering, the chunky metal control dials and the big viewfinder all make this camera stand out against the infinite number of plastic compacts manufacturers bombard us with these days.

Fujifilm FinePix X100 review

With the replacement for the FinePix S5 Pro DSLR never materialising, it looked like Fujifilm was focusing its digital expertise on the compact camera mass market. This all changed with the announcement of the FinePix X100 compact camera back in September last year at Photokina; with a host of features and controls to appeal to the professional and high-end enthusiast that haven't been seen together on a compact camera before. Generating masses of interest at the time of launch, it's been six months of waiting to get our hands on a final production sample. Has the wait for the FinePix X100 been worth the wait?The Fujifilm FinePix X100 sports a resolution of 12.3MP, but unlike the majority of compacts available, which have sensors with a physical size roughly the size of your small fingernail, the FinePix X100 features a much larger APS-C sized sensor - just like you'd expect to find in most DSLRs. While this is not a revolutionary move in a compact camera - Sigma was the first to incorporate an APS-C sensor into their DP1 compact camera, its only one of a handful of compacts to feature a chip this size.

Fujifilm FinePix X100 review

Fuji X100: OverviewIn the decade or so that digital cameras have been widely available, manufacturers have always looked to the design of classic cameras for inspiration. Olympus's recent PEN series harks back to the film models of the same name, while Leica's M range continues with a design long established in the analogue world. Fujifilm's X100, then, appears as just another retro-styled contender in the large-sensor/compact-body market, but its marriage of old-fashioned styling with new and innovative technology has, nevertheless, been met with an unprecedented response. The reception seems to have taken even Fujifilm by surprise, with the company recently reporting that high demand had pushed shipments of the camera back until April – but with a price tag of a penny under £1000, is the Fuji X100 overblown and overpriced? Or can such a camera really be worth its asking price? While the Fuji X100's design has charmed many, it's its core feature set which has attracted considerable interest - notably, its hybrid viewfinder which stands out as the camera's main attraction. Fujifilm goes in to great detail about the concept and technology behind the viewfinder on its website, but its intention is essentially to bring back a bright and usable viewfinder into a compact camera, the kind that many seasoned photographers would have once been accustomed to using.

Fujifilm FinePix X100

We got a hands-on look at one of Photokina’s most intriguing new cameras: the Fujifilm FinePix X100. This retro-flavored compact camera offers a unique shooting experience with a hybrid OVF/EVF and old-school dedicated control dials. Most thrilling of all: the X100 has what only a small handful of point-and-shoot cameras in history have had: an APS-C sensor. We can’t attest to the quality of the photos quite yet, but we scrounged around every corner of the Fujifilm booth to bring you as many details as possible about this exciting new camera. The FinePix X100 takes the retro trend of cameras like the Canon G12 and the Olympus E-P1 and raises the bar in style and quality. The X100 just feels expensive. The dual-chromatic design scheme with rubberized gripping surface really establishes that retro flavor—with some help from the optical viewfinder hiding in the corner like a 1950’s Nikon rangefinder. But what we really like about the X100 is the design of the body and controls. All the dials up top are sturdy metal affairs and the upper control deck and bottom surface of the camera are cast from magnesium alloy. Some may quibble with the anticipated $1000 price point, but this camera looks—and feels—like a thousand bucks.
