FujiFilm X100F Pro Reviews

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.

With the X100F, Fujifilm has pretty much made the perfect enthusiast compact camera. While on the face if it little appears to have changed, the X100F heralds the biggest set of improvements yet, making the X100F the camera we always wanted the X100 to be. It may be a touch pricey, but there's nothing quite like it – it's an exquisite camera to look at and to shoot with.

The X100F's combination of image quality, usability and styling make it the best in the series yet. It's still a niche camera, but this latest version's limitations stem primarily from its design, rather than its implementation. A true photographers' camera.

There are no direct competitors to this camera, and the X100F offers a unique shooting experience, and the price of the camera is therefore justified as an investment. The latest version of Adobe Camera Raw (v9.9) now supports the Fujifilm X100F, which will make processing raw files much quicker and easier, when compared to using the provided Silkypix software. If you are happy with the focal length, then the bright f/2.0 lens will deliver great results. There is also the option of a wide-angle (28mm equivalent) and telephoto (50mm equivalent) adapters giving additional versatility, although these do add additional bulk to the camera. If you don't want to use these, then you can use the built-in digital teleconverter. If you get a chance to shoot with the Fujifilm X100F, then trying the camera in your hand is highly recommended, as the camera feels great and is a joy to use.
