Fujifilm FinePix X100 Review

29.07.11

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.
