The Fujifilm X-T100 is the company's least expensive X-series camera to include an electronic viewfinder. It shares most of its guts with the entry-level X-A5, including its hybrid autofocus system and 24MP APS-C CMOS sensor. Unlike that camera, and the X-T20 that sits above it, the X-T100 has a unique LCD design that allows it to both tilt and flip out to the side but not rotate. Show Unfortunately, the X-T100 inherits more from the X-A5 than the X-T20, which means there are some compromises. Image quality is great, design and build quality are solid and battery life is excellent. Unfortunately, the camera's overall performance is sluggish, its autofocus system cannot reliably track anything moving and its '4K' video is more like an extended burst mode (quality is poor, as well). For those who enjoy the Fujifilm shooting experience we recommend spending the extra $200 for the X-T20. If you want to stay in the same price range, competitive cameras from Canon, Olympus and Panasonic may be better choices in many respects. Key Features:
The X-T100's feature set is impressive, as long as you're not a serious videographer. The EVF is beautiful and the articulating LCD gives you the best of both worlds, being able to tilt and flip to the side. While the X-T100 has a larger buffer than the X-A5, it still fills up pretty quickly if you're shooting Raw. Still, that's more than enough for a camera that costs $600 (body only). An important difference between the X-A5/X-T100 and the more expensive X-T20 is that the latter uses an X-Trans color filter on its sensor, rather than the traditional Bayer filter. Many would argue that X-Trans had an advantage over Bayer sensors when resolutions were lower, but with everything now at 24MP, we're not convinced there's much of a difference. The X-T100 is sold as a body-only kit for $599 or with a 15-45mm equiv. F3.5-5.6 power zoom lens for $699. Black and 'champagne gold' bodies are available.
