Fujifilm X100T Review | Digital Photography Review

Overall conclusion

The ‚T‘ in X100T is generally taken to mean ‚third,‘ reflecting the camera’s iterative nature. This presents two ways of looking at the camera: as the highest point in the X100 series‘ evolution to date, or a warmed-over X100S to let camera stores stick a ‚New‘ badge next to it on the shelf. Having used the camera for several months, we’re able to take sides on that question. The X100 was a breakthrough camera, when it first appeared: making good on the large sensor, small camera idea first pursued by Sigma. It was attractive, engaging and capable of taking beautiful images. Did I say engaging? Perhaps ‚infuriating‘ is a better word. It was a potentially great camera, riddled with quirks and inconsistencies. However, Fujifilm continued to develop the camera’s firmware (even after it was discontinued), and the X100 today much closer to being the classic that its looks imply. The X100T is a continuation of that process of polish and refinement. Whether it’s the addition of Wi-Fi, the provision of 1/3rd stop increments on the aperture dial or the move to dedicated directional buttons, rather than the cheap-compact style wheel on the back of the camera, there are plenty of changes that make the camera better. Equally, the addition of an electronic shutter option and a greater degree of camera customization make a big difference to how you can use the camera. Oddly the biggest change (the in-viewfinder tab) is the one that makes the smallest difference to the shooting experience. Regardless of how I used it, I didn’t find it added much to the shooting experience…….
