I was quite sceptical when I opened the box of the Fujifilm X100s. In front of me sat a R12k camera that would be geeky nirvana for any self-proclaimed hipster. This retro-styled compact camera could pass for a 1970’s classic that would fit well with your oversized headphones and SMEG fridge at home. But when you look past the actual design, there is quite a surprise waiting. That surprise comes in the form a fixed 23mm F2 lens and SLR-sized APS-C sensor, which offers outstanding image quality! I would describe myself as an “enthusiastic” photographer, dabbling in portrait and landscape photography with a DSLR as companion, but after playing around with this camera, I just might have new found respect for the “compact” section of the market…..
