Fujifilm X100F 24.3 MP APS-C Digital Camera-Silver

If you love film photography, you'll love the Fujifilm X100F. If you love point-and-shoot convenience, you'll love the Fujifilm X100F. If you love high image quality, good colors, lovely bokeh, and a slightly wide focal length, you'll love the Fujifilm X100F. I'm a young guy, but I got my start as a photographer on film cameras. the X100F, as with all of Fuji's X-series, comes equipped with three things that I personally value quite highly: 1. An optical viewfinder. As a bonus, there's a pop-up mini-EVF you can engage, which lets you manually focus the lens with a degree of confidence while using the OVF. Framelines, exposure information, remaining shots, a focusing scale, and even a histogram can also be projected into the OVF, giving you all the information you need to snap properly-exposed photos and take full advantage of the 24MP X-Trans sensor. You can, of course, switch to a fully featured EVF or use the rear LCD screen if that's how you prefer to shoot. 2. Discrete exposure mode controls in the style of old film cameras. The lens comes equipped with an aperture ring with third-stop clicks, and the top plate features a combination shutter speed/ISO dial. All three controls have an Automatic setting, letting you engage shutter priority, aperture priority, full manual, or full automatic exposure modes without having to fiddle with a PASM wheel. Thank god. Furthermore, you can create multiple custom auto-ISO profiles, specifying a minimum and maximum acceptable ISO as well as a minimum acceptable shutter speed. 3. Solid metal construction that actually feels like metal. So many digital cameras are plastic-bodied, feeling cheap and toylike in the hand. Even flagship DSLRs with their metal skeletons don't feel "right" to me; I'm much more comfortable with the solid construction of my Nikomat FTN or Konica IIIa. Thus, the X100F's sturdy metal frame just feels good. It's a solidly-built camera that actually seems like a piece of high-quality precision engineering rather than a mass-production piece of junk. Having the ability to take manual control over the entire exposure triangle without having to dig through menus or endlessly spin nondescript black multifunction dials is what attracted me to Fujifilm in the first place, but what will keep me is the fact that you're not sacrificing convenience or image quality to obtain these controls. The X100F is light and compact, easily pocketable inside a jacket pocket, but it never feels cramped. As an extra bonus, the X100F uses an amazingly quiet leaf shutter capable of speeds up to 1/4000, and unlike traditional focal plane shutters, is capable of synchronizing with flash units across its entire shutter speed range. This mechanical shutter is supplemented by an optional electronic shutter capable of speeds up to 1/32000, but it suffers from some rolling shutter issues, as many electronic shutters do, and cannot flash sync. Focusing is done by wire, the only major criticism I have against this camera. Its WiFi feature is excellent if you like to post on social media, and the camera remote app (in my experience) works extremely well for street photography, letting you fire the camera without touching it. The icing on the cake is how good the camera's JPGs look without any adjustment; just apply a film simulation and go. If you shoot RAW, you can even apply these film simulations after the fact, creating JPGs within the camera itself using a simple-to-use but powerful built-in RAW processor. And, of course, the camera just looks so damn good.

TL;DR: Summary: The X100F has some really nice updates making it the most well rounded X100 camera to date, but not enough for most X100T owners to move up. It's a no brainer for X100/X100S owners. Likes: + Same body that X100 fans love about this camera + Shared sensor/processor of the newest Fuji cameras + Improved AF experience -- more phase detect AF points, joystick, eye detection, useable C-AF + More buttons/dials for increased customizability + Improved video + NP-126S battery (shared w/ X-T2/X-Pro2) Dislikes: - Still not weather sealed - single SD Card slot (and behind battery door) - MHG-X100 grip not compatible Longer Review (subject to future updates): I've had the opportunity of owning the X100S and the X100T previously and have enjoyed the incremental updates as each generation was introduced. The X100F further updates the X100T bringing it pretty darn close to the X-Pro2 and the X-T2 (which I also own). I just received the X100F, so I haven't put it through its paces, however I wanted to share my initial impressions: Body & Ergonomics: This was probably the most noticeable change out of the box. Same great build quality (still not weather sealed), but camera is slightly heavier and thicker than the X100T. The changes are to hold the larger battery (yay!), but the MHG-X100 is not compatible with this new body (boo!). With a thumb grip, I find it much easier to hold in hand, however I still plan on getting a 3rd party grip w/ arca swiss compatible plate. The added external buttons, front wheel, AF joystick, ISO dial, etc. really make this camera even more customizable and usable. Other than that, this camera still maintains all the appeal and charm of the X100 series. Autofocus I appreciate more phase detect AF points as I try to avoid focus/recomposing. C-AF feels far more usable. I've not fully tested it, but initially, far and away better than the X100T. The AF joystick is a joy to use and keeps the experience consistent w/ the XT-2 and X-Pro2. AF speed from my initial tests felt pretty much like my X100T which I never felt was too slow. I expect the increased AF points and new processor to help with AF acquisition. I enjoyed the face detection of the X100T and am pleased to see eye detection carry over from the X-T2/X-Pro2. Video Like C-AF, far more useable than the X100T. I'm not a video person, but it's nice to know I could make decent clips with this camera if needed. New Battery With the new NP-126S, I can now just keep one style battery in my bag and use interchangeably between the X100F and my XT-2. USB charging carries over from the X100T.

Having shot for the past 25 years I can honestly say that the FujiFilm X100 Series is my favorite camera of all time. When I look back at my portfolio I'm most proud of the photos from my X100S and X100F because they "just captured the moment." For me the fixed focal length forces me to prioritize the composition and think outside the box. I've shot with several systems, starting with Canon film in the 90s, then on to Canon DSLRs. I switched to the Micro 4/3 system about 10 years ago, which was a good transition into mirrorless but it wasn't up to par with the DSLRs at the time. About 5 years ago I purchased my first FujiFilm camera, the X100S. I immediately fell in love with it and ditched my Micro 4/3 system for the XT-1. Later replaced by the X-Pro2 and I also own an X-E3 as a back-up/travel camera. At some point I made the biggest mistake of my photographic career, I sold my X100S. Luckily, I realized my terrible mistake and purchased the X100F. It has the same soul of the original X100 cameras but with more attention to detail. The same "magic" in the lens & sensor combo is still there but with slightly faster auto focus and some extra bells and whistles to "tweak" the camera to your shooting style. The X100F has a tactile advantage over most of the cameras I've owned. I hardly ever need to dive into a menu. Buttons, knobs and switches all perfectly placed in an arrangement that becomes second nature. I never shot a lot with flash but the leaf shutter allows for some ridiculous flash sync speeds, allowing you to throw some additional light on a backlit subject with the onboard (or my hot shoe Nissin flash). I shoot more backlit subjects now because of this. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE the ND filter. With a simple click of an Fn button I can select the ND filter and shoot wide open (f/2) in broad daylight. Lastly, the size and design of this camera make it so easy to carry that it's with me everywhere I go. The FujiFilm X100F is a brilliant little camera with charm and soul. It's not a camera for all but it's perfect for me. Kudos Fujifilm! I'll take this camera to the grave.

The Fuji X100F is a marvelous camera. I have owned the X100S and X100T. This camera is the best of the X100 series in my opinion. Focus is fast and consistent. Image quality is off the charts with the 24 MP resolution, a noticeable improvement over the X100T. The ability to digitally zoom is occasionally very handy and is like having another camera around your neck when you need it; another nice upgrade from the X100T. Facial recognition is very reliable, and the joystick is an ingenious upgrade in this camera for adjusting the focus point quickly while composing the image. This may be the best camera ever invented for taking photos of people. Fuji has the best skin tones of any color system and the fill flash has just the right poof of light to wipe away shadows while keeping your subjects looking great. The aperture ring has 1/3 stop adjustment. ISO can be adjusted using the front command dial, making the ISO dial on top of the camera unneeded, which is good because it's not very useful to begin with. Since buying this camera, I have all but stopped using my interchangeable lens camera; this camera does it all, even on vacation. The light weight and good looks are unbeatable. I would say the X100F is a major upgrade over the X100S; I would buy the X100F over the X100S every time. The X100F is a nice upgrade over the X100T, but not a runaway upgrade. In the long run, I think the X100F is a more feature rich, flexible, higher resolution camera than the X100T.

I was looking for a camera that I can shove into my pocket while on the go, I found this... As a primer, I've had the camera for several months now. If you take the time to read the manual one evening, you'll learn almost everything you need to know on how to produce very nice photos. After that, it's just a matter of practice and tweaking with supplemental knowledge. I've not used the Video features on this camera so I can't speak for it as I bought the camera for photos. Pros: Nice compact style that has a good feel to it- metal and leather, it feels nice to hold in your hands and has a good weight to it- I HATE that cheap plastic feel, menus are easy to learn and use, the shortcut keys/buttons makes setting up shots quick, good battery - I've been able to get over 200 shots on a full battery with ease, usability - easy to transfer photos between WiFi and computer, and lastly beautiful photos with this soft and natural producing lens. Cons- These are given and known before buying the Camera: No real zoom- there is some sort of digital zoom but very very limited, fixed lens - there are 2 lenses one for macro and one for tele shooting but require an adapter ring

Overall rating: 4.5 (out of 5) Hybrid OVF: 3 EVF: 4.5 Image quality: 5 Look and feel: 5 Included strap: 1 Owner's Manual: 3.5 Lens: 4.5 Overall: I would say with confidence this camera is the best Fujifilm camera I've owned, easily. Image quality, looks and handling are far and above my XE2 and X70. It feels like a camera worth thousands more and the image output is nothing short of impressive. Whether you already own several Fuji cameras or this would be your first time trying the X100 series, you simply cannot go wrong with this camera. Presently, IMO, there's no better street/travel camera in the market. Hybrid OVF: I was personally looking into this feature which basically there's an electronic overlay on top of the optical viewfinder so that you can get relevant exposure information; however, I've found framing is not quite aligned with the lens/sensor, often creating super awkward framing since the viewfinder is off to the top and to the side, so you need to mentally calculate the offset. I think it was a good idea on Fuji's part, but they need to improve it -- perhaps aligning the viewfinder right on top of the lens would help. Electronic viewfinder: luckily Fujifilm included the ability to turn the Hybrid OVF into a full fledged EVF with a turn of a switch. The color and exposure accuracy of the EVF is pretty great, but not perfect; however, behaves predictably enough so that you can compensate in your head. Definitely one of the best I've used. Image quality: in short, if in this aspect the camera is 10 out of 5. The colors, the sharpness, the mood, the bokeh, saturation, etc. Absolutely perfect. IMO, this is just as good as it gets. Absolutely exceptional in every test shot I've taken (note, however, as of this writing I have not tested ISO > 1600, so can't speak of noise issues, if any). Look and feel: the camera looks just gorgeous. The "classic" camera look just gives it a personality very often absent in digital photography. It handles very well and a breeze to operate (even the small knobs and buttons are easy to get to and work with). Included strap: I honestly don't know why Fujifilm keeps including this strap with all X-series. It wears pretty uncomfortable, cheap materials, sharp sides. etc. At this point I would prefer they didn't include one rather than wasting materials in a strap that will be left in the camera box. Owner's Manual: I can't comprehend why _all_ camera manuals, regardless of brand are just so terrible, and the one included with this camera is no exception. Camera makers need to start investing in much better, user friendly manuals as opposed to a 4x6 booklet with a bunch of information. Lens: there were some Fuji aficionados who were concerned the venerable 23mm/2L lens attached to older X100 series was not going to be able to make use of the new sensor and image processor, I can say confidently those fears were just not granted. One of the main reasons image quality is perfect is because of the lens. It's exceptionally sharp and punchy even wide open. Stopped down to f/4 is simply incredible. The bokeh is just so even and creamy it beats my whole collection of Canon primes I used to own. Truly impressive seeing this level of performance in a "pancake" lens. Conclusions: if you're a street or travel photographer you simply will not find a better compact camera in the market right now -- at least not w/o spending thousands and thousand more. Price-value on this camera is simply phenomenal.

I've been searching for a digital pocket camera for years. I used to have a little Casio Exilim which took sweet photos, but later models did not hold up. Panasonic Lumix had one good model before becoming hit or miss. Olympus TG series is ok but has already gone downhill. Canon SureShot was a joke despite rave reviews. I continued to be frustrated. I snagged this model without looking at the pricetag and asked myself, What did I just do? Often when I look at the first images from a pocket digital camera I gasp. With the Fuji X100F I gasped for an entirely different reason - the images are spectacular. Hopefully you can see the first image off my camera just messing around in low light of my desk light with the settings on auto-everything. Amazing DOF and color which I describe as romantic. The B&W mode allows me to pump up the shadow and/or highlights for a tailored response. The controls, again, I kept saying "wow." The shutter speed and sensitivity are old school film camera style. Focus modes are a switch on the side like a full DSLR. The lens has an aperture ring with plenty of range. Manual focus mimics a film camera's fine control with focus peaking or digital split image focusing. It is so easy to use this camera. I had to hunt for maybe 6 settings, asking, where did they put THIS one? But, the others were easy to find. Right on the top I can nudge the EV knob with my thumb to tweak in highlights without guessing. Is it perfect? What camera is perfect? Like, if I rest it on its back it rests right on the LCD display so I ordered a screen protector. The neck strap is perfect but no wrist strap was included. Autofocus options are way overkill and I turn off all that face and eye detection. Transferring photos to a Mac? Be prepared to be disappointed as it doesn't show up as a disk drive (even my GPS shows up as a disk drive)... but, you can import using "Photos" app - which is slooooow and painful. It has a real rangefinder viewer with electronic parallax framing aid. Brilliant. Pull your eye away and the LCD snaps back on for accurate composition. Watson appears to have the best third-party batteries if you don't enjoy the Fuji pricetag on batteries. Oh - and it's a fixed "street camera" wide angle lens. This was a big decision. For the money, you could upgrade and just get a mirrorless camera with exchangeable lenses. The "zoom" does zoom in to simulated 50mm and 70mm at the sacrifice of a bit of quality. I would consider those settings to be "toy" settings just for play. If you want a larger image walk closer to your subject. The small lens keeps the profile small for portability. The style of the body is sweet to look at - very retro and doesn't look like a big black brick. There are plenty of overpriced leather cases and half-cases for the model so go nuts.

The Fuji X100F has exceeded my expectations and I expected it to be wonderful. I updated from my almost 5 year old x100S, which I loved. Here is a list of the improvements that are the most obvious to me. Image quality is even better. I like the multiple customizeable function buttons (except they removed the ability to switch to video mode by use of a function button). Focus is very fast. Continuous shooting at 8 fps is great.The EVF is fast and clear. The focus preview info in the OVF is really helpful. The various filters in the drive mode are fun. The ISO dial is handy. The focus joystick and additional focus points are great. The ability to charge the battery with a USB connector is very handy. The front control ring with 35/50/70mm digital zoom equivalents are fantastic. I like the placement of the rear controls to the right side. The ability to do some camera functions with my iPhone is a possibility of some use. . However, my X100S Lensmate thumrbest , Gariz Genuine Leather BL-X100BK Camera Metal Half Case and all my X100S batteries will not fit on the X100F due to design changes (These will go to the new owner of my X100S). Just for fun, I also got the Fujifilm INSTAX SHARE SP-2 Smart Phone Printer. Update: 3-15-17 I wish my Canon 5D Mark-iii was designed like the Fuji X100F. It is simply so much easier to shoot with the manual controls of the Fuji vs. the buttons and menus of the Canon. I can set aperture, ISO and shutter speed on the Fuji turned off. I also wish the Canon had a EVF like the Fuji. With the EVF I can see all settings plus the histogram, exposure compensation information, and depth of field so much easier on the Fuji. That said, I still love my Canon.

The product was well packaged and delivered in great condition - zero reasons to complain. As far as the product itself goes, The Fuji X100F is just an amazing camera. It's a beautiful piece of machinery, created to a very high standard of workmanship. Easily as good if not better than a Leica, at a fraction of the price. Amazing colours, very easy to use and great controls for adjusting everything on the fly.

As a user of the original X100 which came out 6 years ago which was slow and quirky - but took amazing pictures - I can say the X100f is AMAZING!!! The auto focusing is way snappier and the fact it has zone focusing is fantastic. The Classic Chrome and Archos film simulations are definitely winners. And the fact Fuji moved all the controls to the right side, adding in 2 programmable command dials, Q menu with 7 custom sets makes this camera a speed demon to shoot with now. Don't get it twisted I'm not comparing this to Full Frame DSLRs - they obviously have advantages, BUT for a compact travel camera with an APS-C sensor with physical dials and knobs to change settings... This camera is a dream! AND I find myself just shooting JPEG (instead of raw) even at ISO 10 000 - it handles the noise suppression really well especially if you use Classic Chrome or Archos film simulations... it has a "filmic" look about it. If the price doesn't scare you - I definitely recommend this camera!

Lovey product and well packed, I am happy with the seller performance

Best mirrorless camera at thos price.

It's the best thing that happened to me in a while
