Field Test: Fujifilm’s X100T Is The Most Amazing Camera I’d Never Buy |
Michael Hession
Fujifilm’s X100 series cameras are not for the masses. They are expensive, don’t zoom, and don’t fit in your pocket. And yet, if there’s a single modern digital camera that has reached near cult status in the past few years, it’s the X100. Enthusiasts flock to the retro-styled, fixed-lens shooters in droves. The latest iteration, the X100T, adds a handful of improvements that may go unnoticed by most, but to the seasoned photog they are heavenly additions to an already hallowed piece of gear… but doesn’t fix one nagging flaw. 2011′s X100, followed by last year’s X100S, garnered most of their adoration with fashion appeal. I’m not saying they aren’t great cameras functionally, I’m just saying that if they looked like, say, the Nikon Coolpix A, they wouldn’t quite be the same object of desire. The $US1300 X100T preserves all those gorgeous Leica-esque qualities along with the same 23mm (35mm full-frame equivalent) f2 lens, same 16 megapixel APS-C sensor, while adding some additional usability in the form of control tweaks, speed, and one or two brand-new features. Over the holidays, I ended up toting around the X100T almost exclusively, even though I stubbornly lugged six cameras to my folks’ place for the week. Yes, I have a sickness……
