Editor's Review

Leading the way to the ultimate image quality, the X100s features the new APS-C 16M X-Trans CMOS II Sensor & EXR Processor II. X-Trans CMOS II incorporates an original color filter array with a highly random pattern, eliminating the need for an optical low-pass filter (OLPF). These filters are used in conventional systems to inhibit moiré at the expense of resolution. The X-Trans CMOS II array lets the sensor capture unfiltered light from the lens, achieving an unprecedented level of resolution. Also the unique integration of phase detection pixels in the array contributes to the dramatic leap in AF speed. Fujinon 23mm F2 fixed focal length lens, quality without compromise was the goal when the FUJIFILM X100S was being developed. While featuring the generous brightness of a maximum F2 aperture, the large-diameter rear lens group is integrated into the body for an ultra-slim profile. In addition, the optimization of the sensor for this special lens fully exploits the advantage of a fixed focal length lens for superior edge-to-edge image quality. The new Hybrid Viewfinder offers expanded freedom in a range of challenging shooting conditions. When you want to view the subject with maximum clarity or keep shutter time lag to a minimum, the Optical Viewfinder (OVF) impresses with stunning optical quality. For confirmation of focus, exposure, white balance and depth of field while shooting the scene, just move the lever to Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) featuring an integrated 2,360K LCD. Using the power of the phase detection pixels integrated in the X-Trans CMOS II sensor, Digital Split Image helps you manually focus your shot with greater precision. While viewing the split image displayed in the LCD monitor or EVF, you can manually adjust for pinpoint focus, especially helpful when working with an open aperture or macro shooting. Focus Peak Highlight For pinpoint manual focusing highlights high contrast areas of your subject for smoother and more accurate focusing.

Fujifilm X100S Reviews by Digital Camera-HQ Users

Being among the innovators of the compact camera, Fujifilm is one of the world's most significant photographic and imaging companies. Fujifilm launched the DS-1P in 1988, gaining credit for the first truly digital camera widely available. Fujifilm digital cameras now come with a large array of features you can select from, the most significant of which is their Super CCD technology. These sensors first debuted in the wildly popular Fujilm FinePix F30 and provide incredible low-light and dynamic range performance, generally outperforming the competition.

Key Features

Natural image color, low noise, wide dynamic range and high sensitivity are among the factors that cause people to decide on Fujifilm digital cameras. The Fujifilm FinePix F800EXR is one of the more popular models and features a Super CCD sensor and has a wide variety of enthusiast-oriented features. Boasting manual modes, image stabilization, RAW capture, WiFi connectivity, a large half-inch 16 megapixel sensor and a 20x optical zoom, Fujifilm has clearly targeted the high-end compact camera market. Image quality is among the best in the compact zoom class, but keep in mind the camera does have a steep learning curve.

Fujifilm has also recently joined the retro camera craze, producing more expensive models including the X100, XPro-1, X-E1 and more inexpensive XF1 that appear analog but offer compelling performance under the hood. These cameras are built for enthusiasts who want to not simplymerely take fantastic pictures, but look fantastic while doing so.

If you need a waterproof camera at an affordable price, Fujifilm's XP series is the best place to look. The XP170 is the highest-end waterproof camera the company makes, and it includes wireless, but you can now find good deals on the cheaper XP50 as well. This camera is perfect for any circumstance, offering a 5x optical zoom and waterproofing up to 16 feet. While more high-end cameras from different brands outperform it in image quality, it will get whatever job done you need from it for less money.

We here at Digital Camera HQ offer unbiased, informative reviews and recommendations to guide you to the right camera.
