16440616 16Digital Camera with 3.0-Inch LCD (Silver)

For ages now I've wanted a small, lightweight camera that I could take with me on trips. I like to do a lot of walking and a lot of hiking, and up to now I've owned two DSLRs and a Panasonic LX3. The only camera that was convenient enough to use on these trips was the LX3 - the last time I was in Japan I brought both my Canon 7D and LX3 and because the Pan was on my hip the whole time I ended up using it a lot more. The images of course left a lot to be desired. The past few weeks I've been traveling through Japan again, this time shooting with the X100T. It's been a magical experience. I didn't know this camera even existed until less than a month ago - I happened to look up the new models of LX cameras just for fun, no intention of buying anything, and after remembering that those cameras used Leica lenses I decided to browse Leica's cameras for fun. The M9 seemed like such a perfect camera for my needs - compact, high quality, discreet to the untrained eye. Then I found a blog post of someone comparing the M9 to the X100T, and the more I read the more I wondered where this thing had been my whole life. It didn't take long for me to decide that I would invest in this camera. The 35mm equiv lens is absolutely perfect for what I like to shoot. Wide enough for some landscape shots, close enough for portraits. There's not much distortion so everything looks very natural. Fantastic for street photography. I'm can't say I'm expert at lens quality but I'm experienced enough to discern when one is bad, and this one is not bad. The images come out sharp (except some distortion around the edges), and no achromatic aberration that I've noticed. The colors from this camera are amazing. I've been shooting RAW+JPEG so that I can edit photos with VSCO on the fly from my iPad, and the JPEG color looks great - very natural and balanced. Fuji did a great job at creating built in color filters to imitate film, and some images do genuinely remind me of the types of color I used to get when I shot 35mm. Compare this to the shots I typically see coming out of Sony cameras, which to my eye have a strangely saturated "digital" look to them. The wi-fi feature has been incredible to use during my trip. It's allowed me to take selfies without guesswork, and also edit and post photos the same day. And I honestly don't think I need to go into Photoshop once I get back - the photos put through the VSCO app already look fantastic. I love the solid retro look and feel that the camera has - its simple and not overly designed. It just works. The button layout was a bit confusing at first but I'm used to it now. I love how much customization there is for each button as well. So complaints? It's what you've read from most other reviewers; the video sucks. I'm a videographer, so that's a pretty big disappointment. Also, weather sealing. If they add that into the next x100 model, I will probably sell my T and upgrade. I have a extended warranty, but with all the outdoor shooting I do it would be nice to have that extra peace of mind. So if your situation is similar to mine, I say stop thinking and go for the purchase. You won't be disappointed. And do yourself a favor and throw in a Spider Black Widow holster - these two were meant to go together. (Attached are two photos I've taken with the x100T in Japan this summer.) EDIT: It's been 7 years since I bought this camera, and while I've upgraded to a XT3 I still keep the x100T around as a memento of a life changing relationship. That's no exaggeration. The x100t helped me become a better photographer through a combination of usability (I started shooting a lot more), image quality and fun. If you're on a tight budget I would say it's still an excellent and very capable piece of equipment. My camera is beat to hell and has been in some really rough, dirty environments, and even without weather sealing it's still functioning (asides from some occasional mechanical glitches).

Let me give you some background, so you can calibrate my review. I am a Nikon shooter, going back to 70's. I still shoot film with my Nikon F100 and Contax G2. I switched to Digital in 2000 when Nikon came out with D1x. My current Digital setup is a Nikon D800 and a D600. I always wanted a Digital G2 so I tried the Fuji X-pro1 when it came out and I hated it. So I got a Sony NEX-7 as a take-every-where camera. Was not happy with the NEX's Menu system and controls but it did the job. Fast forward to November 2014. With some hesitation, I ordered the X100T. Now lets talk about this thing. Ignore every thing you read about X100 or X100s. If you are interested in this camera ignore all reviews done before X100T. First and foremost it is a very good APS-C sensor camera. It dose what it should do and IQ is right up there with the best of APS-C world. But it is more than that when it come to usability and handling. It works and feels like a film camera and it is a pleasure to use. The build quality is great and feels solid even though it is lighter than I thought it would be. But when my wife picked it up she said it was heavier than she thought. Oh well. Auto focus is there, both accuracy and speed. IQ is there. ISO performance is there. The manual focus system is a dream to use. Even though it is just a Fly by Wire focus adjustment. The manual focus ring feels like it is mechanical and it is dampened. Kudos to Fuji for getting it. It makes you want to turn off the autofocus so that you can just play with the manual focus ring. One of my biggest disappointments with X-pro1 was the Fly-By-Wire focus systems's delayed feed back. The X100T has a very direct and quick feed back. Now if you have had X100 or X100s and really liked it. You will love X100T. The new OVF improvements alone is worth the upgrade. And lots of small improvements with everything else. The new LCD in OVF is not a gimmick, even though at first I thought it was but it really works. And If you are like me and new to Fuji X world, think about this, a good 35mm-f1.8 lens from Nikon will cost you almost $600.00 and you have to change lenses. I hate changing lenses. This 35mm f2.0 camera always is ready to be used. And it fits in my bag in the same hole as my 35mm lens. -- Any way enough soap boxing. The WiFi works. I was really surprised that it did work out of the box and with no fuss. I have had so many bad experiences with WiFi connected devices that I was not going to even test it but being a technology geek I just could not help myself. It plane worked and it was fast. You can look at the images while they are in the camera from the iPhone, you can control the Camera (tethering with lots of controls) and you can download the images to the iPhone and post them online with in seconds. Not much bad to report, I have only a few small negative things to say. 1-The Exposure metering system is not as good as the Nikon system. It is not even as good as the entry level D3300. But it is very useable and the ergonomics of the camera is such a way that it allows me to use the exposure compensation on the fly to adjust the exposure. It will take some time to get used to it like any other camera. One helpful thing is that it has WYSIWYG live view capability and I can gage the exposure quickly. 2- Another issue is the battery life. But I think I may not be a good judge here since most of my experience comes from DSLRs and SLRs which usually all have a great battery life but I think this is a bit on the low side. 3- The on/off button is on the mushy side but all the other buttons and Dials are excellent. Believe it or not that is it. So, If you are a film generation Photographer you should get this Camera. You will be doing your self a big favor. It is so much fun to use. I hope this help some of you, make up your minds. Mike Update 11/21/2014: A friend called and was upset that his new X100t was overexposing at f2 and he could consistently reproduce the problem. Asked if I had the same issue. Actually I do, But it is by design. Fuji X100t like any other Leaf Shutter system. Has limitation on how fast it can open and close the Leaf shutters. So the Camera limits the shutter speed to 1/1000 sec at f2. This will push the camera to over expose images if the scene is very bright. That is why Fuji includes a 3 stop ND filter. You can activated the filter in the menu if you have to shoot at f2 in bright light. You can also assign the ND function to one of the 7 function keys if you get in to that situation a lot. So I thought I post the info here in case you did not know that. I could not find any info online to point him to, so if any one knows more feel free to add to the comments.

I love the X100T camera because I can just shoot spectacular-looking photos without having to worry about camera settings, such as focal length, exposure, speed, ISO and white balance. I "zoom with my feet" and the camera does the rest. The JPGs that come out are just superb. The "auto" modes all work perfectly together and make taking great photos a breeze. This camera is awesome for shooting day-to-day family life and travel photos. I find myself using the built-in wifi a lot more than I thought. The integrated EVF (electronic viewfinder) works really well and I use it most of the time. There are only two drawbacks to this camera: a) it's not weather-proof and b) the 3" screen does not rotate. I have used this camera for more than 6 months. You may read elsewhere that battery life is limited. In practice, it is not an issue - life is sufficient for most of what life throws at you. I used to shoot with a Nikon D90 and the "auto" white balance on that camera was not functional. I am sticking to the Fujifilm X-system from now on. The D90 will be sold off, along with all my lenses. I will use this X100T for several years and if ever I become more enthusiastic again about photography, will consider moving to the successor of the X-T1.

No soy un profesional de la fotografía así que mi comentario va en torno a la experiencia y la calidad como un usuario común percibe, el material de la cámara la hace sentir bastante durable, es pesada y se siente resistente, las fotografías comparadas con las de mi iPhone no tienen comparación; el acercamiento y enfoque también es de primer nivel, la recomiendo ampliamente para todas esas personas que desean una cámara que sea fácil de cargar y que tome fotografías de buena calidad.

Great Value! i've used it for 4 months now, i'm in love! Very versatile and great streetphoto. I recommend it!

Lets be realistic. This world is full of cameras. They do what they so best. Everything is the same. And then out of the blue a camera comes out that changes the mind set and meaning that one shared regarding an art form. This FujiFilm X100T is that camera. Its weird. Its makes you wonder. And that is limitless. Beautiful. I've owned canon dslrs for a long while now but I was never really inspired by them or their image quality. I knew I had loads of post work to do to make it happen. But this. This is just magic. I am blown away. So sultry yet so elegant. No matter what light. The images are beyond amazing. Being just a black and white artist I can safely say this camera has awoken me to the world of colors. Sublime indeed.

Fantastic upgrade from my original x100. I love the addition of WiFi. It is more responsive and overall just improves what was already a excellent camera. Love it!!
