Top Rated Gear: Used Fujifilm X100S Digital Camera, Silver undefined

FUJIFILM x100S digital camera that features a technologically advanced APS-C X-Trans CMOS II Sensor and improved EXR ProcessorII. The Fuji X100S uses a bright FUJINON 23mm F2 fixed lens that delivers amazing image quality from edge to edge, all within a compact and superbly-built body.  The FUJIFILM x100S combines three high-performance Fujifilm components that together defy ordinary digital camera limitations, and gives photographers a uniquely-advanced professional digital camera experience. By using Fujifilm's X-Trans CMOS II Sensor, EXR Processor II and FUJINON 23mm F2 fixed lens, the x100S is capable of the world's fastest autofocus speeds of up to 0.08 seconds, and increases its image resolution by 25% and reduces noise by 30% over the first generation X100.  The x100S's new X-Trans CMOS II Sensor is the successor to the original X-Trans CMOS sensor that features a unique, highly randomized color filter arrangement that removes the need for an optical low-pass filter, allowing it to maximize the amount of light it receives directly to capture much finer image details. The x100S effectively reduces noise by almost a full stop, even in low light shooting, to produce crisp images with minimal grain.  Using its newly-developed X-Trans CMOS II Sensor with built-in phase detection, the FUJIFILM x100S is capable of autofocus speeds as fast as 0.08 seconds*1, and together with the new EXR Processor II, delivers a start-up time of nearly 0.5 seconds and a shutter lag time of just 0.01 seconds with a shooting interval of 0.5 seconds. The x100S is capable of a burst shooting rate of up to 6 frames per second at the full resolution of 16.3 megapixels.  he x100S also features an Intelligent Hybrid Autofocus system that switches between phase and contrast detection, depending on the subject or scene, to achieve the best balance between speed and focus precision.  And for the first time ever, the x100S now features a revolutionary Digital Split Image function that uses the X-Trans CMOS II Sensor's built-in phase detection pixels to display dual images that can be manually focused by the user; and a new Focus Peaking function that highlights high contrast areas of subjects for precise focusing, so that users can achieve perfect focus every time.   High Performance Bright FUJINON 23mm F2 Fixed Lens   The x100S features a FUJINON 23mm F2 fixed lens that consists of 8 elements in 6 groups, and includes a high-performance double-sided aspherical element and highly-refractive converging glass elements that delivers a high level of detailed performance with minimal aberration, excellent sharpness and beautiful color reproduction. The FUJINON lens also adds a proprietary HT-EBC coating to effectively control image flare and ghosting.  Another strength of the FUJINON 23mm F2 fixed lens is the soft, round-shaped bokeh that is achieved from the 9 blade lens diaphragm that also includes a built-in 3-stop ND filter. Moreover, the FUJINON lens allows users to get as close as 3.94" from a subject in macro mode for stunning close-up shots.   Vivid Hybrid Viewfinder   Fujifilm introduced the world's first Hybrid Viewfinder with the original FUJIFILM x100, and improves upon that with the all new x100S's high-definition Hybrid Viewfinder that allows users to switch between two viewfinder options: optical or electronic.  The optical viewfinder (OVF) shows subjects in the same natural bright clarity as seen with naked eye, while the electronic viewfinder (EVF) shows useful composition information including focus check, exposure, white balance and depth of field. This new viewfinder offers an easy-to-see magnification of 0.5 at a 23mm focal length and a horizontal apparent field of view of 26 degrees, while the all-glass construction uses high-refractive index glass to minimize chromatic aberrations and distortion.  The electronic viewfinder uses a 100% coverage, extra high resolution, 2.36 million dot high definition LCD panel. It shows depth-of-field during macro shooting, as well as white balance settings, allowing users to accurately compose their shot while continuously looking through the viewfinder.   Design and Build Quality   Following the tradition of the FUJIFILM x100, the all-new FUJIFILM x100S continues to prove that advanced digital imaging technology can come in a boldly-designed, premium-built body.  The x100S's top and base parts are made of magnesium alloy to achieve a lightweight and resilient build, while the dials and rings have been milled from solid metal, with attention paid to the finer details such as finger grips for enhanced operability. The exterior is finished with synthetic leather, which is durable and resistant to the environment while offering the practical benefits of additional grip and comfort.   "Q" Menu System   The menu system in the x100S receives Fujifilm's latest Q "Quick" button feature that allows users to quickly call up a wide-range of frequently-used settings, and the programmable Fn (Function) button allows users to assign commonly-used functions at the touch of a button.   Film Simulation Modes and Artistic Filters   To give users even more creative possibilities, the x100S also features Fujifilm's proprietary Film Simulation Modes which includes ten film simulation options that replicate the results achieved by Fujifilm color reversal films (Velvia / PROVIA / ASTIA) and professional color negative films (PRO Neg. Std / PRO Neg. Hi), along with three B/W filter effects (Ye filter, R filter and G filter).  The x100S also offers eight Advanced Filter functions for additional artistic functionality, including Pop Color, Toy Camera, Miniature, Dynamic Tone, Partial Color, Soft Focus, High Key and Low Key.  The x100S captures full HD video perfectly with a smooth rate of 60 frames per second. Together with a high bit-rate recording rate of 36Mbps, the x100S ensures that users capture every movement and sounds in crystal clear clarity, even in low-light conditions.  During video recording, users have access to many of the additional modes available in still image capture, including Film Simulations, white balance settings and even the Intelligent Hybrid Autofocus function for high-speed and high-precision focusing.

Used Fujifilm X100S Digital Camera, Silver undefined

The JPEG's staight from the camera are beautiful with rich colors.  The X100S is light and easy to take with you.  
The built-in flash makes for a near-perfect fill flash every time.  
Hybrid viewfinder is a spectacular feature, with instant feedback in viewfinder of the last picture.  
It is the digital equivalent of my Leica CL, but with a built-in fill flash, much higher ISO capability, and many more features.  
Photography and creativity are fun with this camera!

New favorite

Of course, this is a great camera but the bundle has two problems 1. The mini-tripod cannot hold the weight of the camera. 2. The case is way too small for this camera. If you force the camera in the case the controls will be moved, e.g. the power will be turned on.

Bad bundle

It's been pointed out that you don't really marry your camera anymore. You often marry your camera system, and with interchangeable systems you regularly marry glass, but the camera itself? They change too much, too fast these days.

Well I've recently divorced Canon and I'm considering proposing to Fuji and this camera might just have me do it.

The good:
The thing sees in the dark
High ISO performance is incredible
Handholding is fantastic
The leaf shutter (how I love the leaf shutter) means some super high flash sync speeds
The hybrid viewfinder is uber-cool/handy
Built in 3 Stop ND is handy as well
Fuji glass is super impressive

Of course, you almost certainly haven't stumbled on this by accident so I'm betting you know all of the above. So let's talk about the bad, which most of the enthusiasts and reviews you've been poring over so obsessively won't tell you.

The bad:
Battery life (ok you probably do know about this one). It's abysmal. Thankfully, spares are small, light and cheap.
Learning curve. This is the biggie, and the one that may have you give up on this camera prematurely. If you come from many years of SLR the rangefinder style and handling is going to be a very, very different way of shooting for you. It takes a lot of getting used to.
Also, I really miss my joystick controlled auto-focus selection

Anyway, stick with it. Practice. Learn it and the layout until they are second nature. This camera is beyond capable, but it is going to be a partnership. And this one you may just end up marrying.

Watch That (Learning) Curve

fuji x100s the best for street photograp

I never had a rangefinder before, but this camera is a joy to use. I use it mainly for street shooting. 
Very fast, unobtrusive, silent, fantastic images.
It supposedly has short battery life, so extra batteries are recommended. But they are not expensive. And though I always a carry an extra charged battery,I have not had to rely on it yet.

Great camera

I've had my X100s for a few weeks now. I use it mainly for environmental portraits and landscapes. The image quality is as great as everybody claimed. You can really control the light with the leaf shutter and external flash. The built in flash isn't too shabby, but it gets obscured by my UV filter+adapter, so I don't use it much. 

Auto focus can be a little slow in dark places. Just use manual with the split focus or peaking. It's great.

Not only is it great at higher ISOs, slower shutter speeds are easier to deal with due to the lack of mirror. If you manual focus, it is quite easy to shoot in very dark situations.

The Q menu is fine for accessing most of the settings you need for shooting. I wish it had an option for the ND filter there. 

The battery life isn't too bad. The problem is the battery meter is totally inaccurate. You are best off equating the 2/3 battery symbol to low a battery warning. It dies that fast after the first battery notch disappears. Just get a spare or two and have them ready to go when the meter drops from 2/3 to flashing red.

So far so good

I regularly shoot with a big professional D3 DSLR. However, having my hands full with an infant and a toddler, the D3 became the camera not always at my side. I started looking at serious compact P&S cameras to use daily and for an upcoming vacation. But I never felt comfortable with the IQ and camera response of P&S. I looked at mirror-less cameras and settled on the X100S. The IQ rivals or exceeds DSLRs. The white balance and metering is spot on. I find its low light capability is better than the D3. All frequently used controls are quickly accessible (not buried in menus). It is small and light, making it a great everyday carry camera. I love the Fuji film simulation colors. I had to readjust my anticipation factor since the AF and shutter release response is different than the D3. I also had to rethink how I take pictures since I am now shooting with a fixed 35mm equivalent lens vs the trinity Nikon lens. The video quality is lacking with no IS and a finicky AF, but that is not what this camera was made for.

An amazing camera for still photography

I bought this camera to be my travel camera. I shoot professionally with DSLR's and am just tired of lugging one around when I travel for personal vacations. 

I owned the x100 when it came out, and the x100s is a marked improvement. Most noticeable is the auto focus system. Much better and much more usable.

This is not a camera for a beginner. It is sort of a pain to use, but that's what I like about it. It causes me to slow down and value my images more than just running and gunning with a DSLR.

Fantastic Camera

I purchased this camera as a back up for my much larger D4 for vacations and business travel.  I cannot tell you how impressed I have been so far with it. 

To begin, I have never been asked about a camera by total strangers like I have been with the x100s.  On a daily basis, someone is coming up to me and wanting to see it, ask if it is digital, or comment on the styling.

But the kicker for me is the picture quality.  If I am grabbing a quick shot, or using a tripod, this little camera takes flawless and extremely crisp photos.  Colors and contrast are fantastic and it has just enough settings to allow me some creativity that I could get from few cameras outside of DSLR's.

This is a great little camera!

Amazing Picture Quality

Works great. Takes great photos. Sees in the dark. Excellent focus, manual and auto. The hybrid viewfinder is amazing! Very quiet and stealthy. Excellent ergos, with all buttons and switches in the right locations. Spare batteries recommended, but use genuine Fuji batteries to avoid removal headaches. I put the slip-on lens cap away and use a lens hood with a 49mm UV filter, which makes the camera easier to hold. This camera lives-up to all the hype! Worth every penny!

Everything I expected

I wanted a camera with a viewfinder that takes great pictures consistently. This one does just that. And it is configured to easily operate using manual settings, so I can grow into it.

Just what I wanted

Bought this mostly to take pictures of kids in and around the house. It works GREAT for that. One of my first shots out of the box was the kids opening Christmas presents, and it's one of the better pictures I've taken. Also I shot a family portrait (11 of us) on a tripod with self-timer and everyone was impressed with the results. I agree with several other reviewers that the fixed focal length is actually a blessing. The built-in neutral density filter is really neat and useful.
Cons - Even though it's possible to set it to "Auto" mode by adjusting the dials, it would be nice to have a single button or single dial position that would "back out" the multitude of other settings.
It's too bulky to carry in a pocket but way smaller/lighter than my previous Panasonic micro 4/3 camera.
There are LOTS of settings and menus for people who are inclined to tinker. I bought the "Photographer's Guide to the Fujifilm X100S" by Alexander White on Kindle for $10 and I would say it's a must for amateurs like me.

Great for family pics

My workhorse camera is a Nikon D3s and I wanted a lightweight camera to carry with me at all times. This fits the bill!  It's not only beautiful but takes sharp, vibrant photos. I haven't shot jpeg in years but  with the Fuji x100s, the jpegs are fantastic! I feel as though I have been liberated and can enjoy shooting again!
There is a bit of a learning curve, but after a few days, you're good to go.
Battery life is poor but I bought an extra so that hasn't been a problem for me.
If you're hesitant, don't wait another minute! Buy it and enjoy!

Everything I was expecting!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlbaWP3mVVA&feature=share 

I finally did it. I stopped the spending spree of DSLR cameras, lenses etc and got myself this jewel.
Using it now for a couple of weeks, I am convinced that I can sell my Canon DSLR's and Lenses and get
a new life with this little Rangefinder. The link above from Zack Arias got me to do this.....and thank you man!! Once you find out what this camera will do for you (when you push the right buttons),
you get amazed and hooked!! I love this camera! Very highly recommended.

I did it.......

I've been taking photographs since 1950 starting with a Leica IIIf which I still have. Was dragged into digital several years ago and progressed to a Canon 5D MkIII with assorted Canon "L" lenses. Heard the rave reviews on the Fuji X100S and bought one. It is an utterly amazing little powerhouse camera. Fuji's new state of the art sensor, without the anti-aliasing filter, produces some of the sharpest images I've seen, comparable to the Leica Summicron lens.  Color saturation is superb especially with Fuji's film simulation modes and the high ISO capability rivals that of the superb Canon 5DIII. The X100S is the only digital camera I've used where the JPEGs are better than the RAW images. It is a great "take everywhere" camera.

Amazing Camera

I love this camera.  Having an aperture ring, a shutter speed dial, and a compensation dial, simplifies the operation.  It feels great in the hand and the images are as good as my Nikon d700.

Amazing

You've read all the reviews.  David Hobby.  Zack Arias.  On and on.  I'm a long-time Canon DLSR shooter.  Portraits, events, some weddings, some product shooting. I bought this camera and have been amazed by it.  It really slows me down, but in a good way.  

The specs- you can read about them elsewhere - the ND filter is great.  The EVF and optical view finder are great. The controls are logical and great.  The control dials are a big shift but are cool

Sure, I wish I could fine tune aperture and shutter speed on the dials, but really, it wouldn't make sense- there'd be too many clicks on the dial to get to what I want.  Using the control wheel with your thumb to get to 3rd stops, etc isn't hard and becomes second nature.

I've shot landscapes and portraits over the last few weeks with this camera and it's just amazing.  Again, I'm finding myself slowing down, using more manual focus, really taking my time again.  And it's great- my images are so much better for it and instead of rattling off 9 frames I end up with two or three and they're so much better.

You won't be disappointed if you go this route.  The 35mm equivalent I thought would feel limiting but it's actually been energizing.  Move your feet!

I see myself using this camera more and more in my shooting.  I'm traveling for an out of state wedding this weekend and while I'm still taking both my DSLR's I actually foresee shooting about half of the event with this camera.

Can Change How You Shoot - In A Good Way

I bought this camera because it's small, light weight and the image quality is excellent. I use it for street and travel photography and thus far it has met my needs fully.  Some say the fixed focal length is a setback, but it's a great compliment to my dslr. Very pleased!

Lives up to the hype

The pics out of the camera are very nice - good color rendition and I love the dials.

The manual leaves a lot to be desired - I had to find a You Tube video explaining the features one by one to figure out what the manual doesn't tell you.

I bought a pinch type lens cap to be able to use with the protective UV filter on the adapter ring and just leave it on. A half case and thumb rest that slides into the external flash slot complete the ensemble.

Definitely buy a spare battery. And a fast SDHC card.

Nice pictures. Tough to learn features.

Used a D600 before but not too happy with the weight and since I've mostly used it with a fast 35mm lens the X100s made more sense for me, not regretting that choice a single bit. 
Image quality and low noise are simply outstanding.

Fantastic camera

I love the general concept of X100(S). A small(ish) camera with classic Contax-style handling, cental shutter (super quiet) and uncompromising image quality. Real pleasure to use (except when one needs to visit menus). 

Aperture, shutter speed and exposure compensation can all be handled by touch, no need to check values visually as much as in DSLRs. It simply feels much more like camera, whereas DSLRs are more like computers to me (which is fine, of course).

One thing I would really appreciate: weather sealing. Not only in case of rain, but also dust. It is such a lovely travel camera otherwise.

Genuine pleasure to use

Virtually worry free shooting nearly all the time.  I've used this camera everywhere in varied lighting conditions and get nearly flawless results almost all the time.  Even in bright sunlight the fill flash works very well when the subject is not too far away, although I've had a few occasions when the flash didn't fire while set in auto mode.

Autofocus is very fast and spot on virtually all the time.  It is quite an amazing camera. I have shot mostly in full automatic mode and not seen much need for switching to aperture, shutter or manual mode.

The idea behind this camera was to have it with me all the time and capture casual snaps to share with friends and family.  This is the first camera that does that for me, because it easily fits in the pocket of cargo pants or a jacket.  The 23mm focal length is great for the majority of captures, but distortion is visible when you get close.  But who cares when it comes down to getting the shot.

It's size also allowed me to carry it in a small water proof container so I could take it with me on a canoe trip and I was able to capture fun shots from the middle of the river.

The optical and electronic viewfinder are excellent.  You can choose how much information you want it to display and I have not had any difficulties framing, although I prefer using the EVF when I get close or in low light.

The dials on the top are easy to turn, but stiff enough to prevent accidental movement.  That happens more often on the x-Pro1 (the exposure compensation control).

Everything is compact and small on this camera, which requires some acclimating when you have larger hands and are used to working with a DSLR.  Some of the controls on the rear panel are in a different location than the x-Pro1 and that can be confusing when you switch between the two.

The control wheel it a bit quirky. It both rotates and has clicks at the four compass directions for primary functions (AF, Flash, WB and Macro Mode). I've found that with bigger fingers and trying to work quickly that it is easy to rotate instead of clicking or the other way around. The result is not exactly getting the settings you want or having to try several times before it is set correctly. If you are taking your time it is not an issue.

The camera seems to choose good aperture shutter speed combinations and usually increases ISO at a last resort.  That often means wide open apertures, but that is very easy to override on this camera.  White balance is good and skin colors require little correction.

The camera has a great number of options, despite the simplicity of its controls and it is well worth reading the manual.  It explains how all of the controls work, but in some cases you need will need to experiment to see what the actual result turns out to be or how far you can push the camera (this is especially true for JPEG processing settings).

When I'm on the road and want to travel light, I prefer transferring images to a tablet. I use the USB cable and images copy pretty quickly (JPEG files), so you can share them without much delay.  Eye-fi cards also work, but you have to make sure to enable the feature in the camera.

The x100S is definitely a camera I would recommend as a go anywhere and have it with you all the time option.  I have used it primarily in casual situations and have had very good to excellent results, with little need to edit on the computer.

Excellent Carry-With-You-Anytime Camera

I've only had my camera a little over a week, so I haven't had time to play with all the options, but there are a ton of them.  

I would recommend the David Hobby video on Strobist.com to get a good overview on the camera. Just search Fujifilm X100S in the top left corner. It's also on YouTube.

After using DSLRs with interchangeable lenses for such a long time it takes a little getting used to the fixed 35mm (equivalent) lens, but it hasn't been a problem.

Fun little camera

Have only had the X100s for two weeks but already it is proving to be a go-to camera for many situations.  It has a wealth of features which take some learning but the results are worth every minute spent.  Color is outstanding and low light ability very impressive.  I shoot Nikon DSLR but that may take a back seat for awhile.

A Gem of a camera

The best camera for everyday photography and it is almost perfect!

I recommend to friends for this camera

I am proud owner of Fujifilm X100, and I have had chance to use the latest X100S for 15 days. I am fully convinced with the features of the new X100S, I am jotting down my views and feedback on this model. Although, I am not going to make this review a more technical one, I will surely share my experience.

The only part that I did not like in this whole process was returning the X100S after the test period but I guess I did not had any other option! (Clarification: I have not purchased it from anywhere but I had privilege to use it for one assignment, and once work over I returned it.)

The X100S is actually a better camera than X100, but that does not mean that X100 is not a good camera; it still is a great camera; but now it is more affordable than before and means more volumes for the company.

The first thing that came to my mind after using the X100S for the first 10 to 15 minutes was that, in my opinion Fujifilm was in hurry to launch X100 two years ago, and now with this new X100S they have almost fixed all problems of the X100. X100 was not very good in terms of focusing but after some firmware that problem was sorted out. Even after this, X100 was successful, because of its image quality and its great look. Despite its slow auto focus, almost unusable manual focus system and others issues, photographers were amazed by images coming from the camera. X100S has improvised on this feature and manual focus is really great feature in this model.

When I picked up this camera first time, I immediately turned it back and tried to check the Menu/ Ok button, as in X100 it is very difficult to use, but the same feature in X100S now centre round button is more edged out as compared to the X100, making it very user friendly.

The print on the operating buttons should be not erasable and should be long lasting so as to endure years of use. The prints on my X100's Menu & AFL/AEL buttons are not visible, and have totally disappeared after constant use. My suggestion would be a kind of embossed button or maybe first layer should have some transparent layer, which would protect the print from fading.

Performance:

Handling:

As far as the aesthetics are concerned, the X100S looks almost similar to X100. But performance wise, the X100S is faster than X100. The response time of X100S is good. Also the "Q" button is welcome feature which allows faster access to the menu and if you keep press "Q" for longer time the screen will be bright very useful for outdoor! . Optical viewfinder is `sexy'!

Auto focus:

X100 was terrible in the auto focus department, but after some firmware now it is usable, but the manual focus is still not usable. In the X100S auto focus is very much improved making it very fast. The focusing ring really works just fine; just put your finger slightly and you will be helped out by ring, lot of improvement here; credit to Fujifilm here.

Only sometimes it fails to focus and maybe Fujifilm can make a little bit of improvement here and bring up the speed levels to the likes of Olympus OM- D E-M5, which is incredibly fast! Even my Panasonic GH2 is very fast.

Fujifilm has done great with the introductions of the "Peaking" mode and "Split" mode; very useful. Sometimes in the auto mode, the camera focuses on something else which is actually not wanted but in manual focus, using any of these two would be very useful. Personally I do not use manual focus because auto focus is so perfect! But manual focus is very much needed in some specific conditions.

Continuous shooting:

I used the 3fps for a burst 44 JPEG frames and 6fps for a burst 31 JPEG frames out of the two continuous shooting modes that the X100S has, I used 32GB class 10 card and camera was incredibly fast! Well-done!

Image Quality:

X100S produces gorgeous images, 23mm F2 lens is amazing it is indeed very sharp, F4 gives stunningly sharp results! The Dynamic range of the X100S is much better than X100. Honestly, image quality is so great that with right tool, we can make amazing HDR effect with a single photo. I have been successful in creating so many high quality HDR single pictures, directly out of the camera!

The RAW files are amazing! I noticed that it is impossible to make 16: 9 RAW file. I set the camera in JPEG + RAW and that too in 16: 9 but when I saw the output pictures, RAW was in 3: 2 ratio! I tried to find a solution to this issue from the manual of X100S but there is no mention that RAW with 16: 9 ration is not possible and default is a 3: 2 ratio image. I checked this out in the X100 and it has the same flaw, but my other camera, the Panasonic GH2 can record RAW in 16: 9. Fujifilm should provide RAW file in 16: 9 ratio.

Video performance:

X100S has to offer Full HD 1080P video at both 30fps & 60fps. 24P is missing! The video looks so good when ii is taken in good light. The dedicated recording button is still missing. Prior to recording you can set the aperture, exposure and film simulation mode.
Flicker proves to be a big problem when used at night and it is very annoying! Very important for Fujifilm to resolve this issue.

Camera struggle in continuous auto focus mode while recording video it is very slow and unusable. It is time for Fujifilm to concentrate on its video department. I feel that with good light this camera produce great videos, it is possible to have great Bokeh effect too!

Digital Zoom 90mm is not aviailable in new X100S, in X100 it gives amazing result!

Pros:

1, Great F2 lens, very sharp.
2, Image quality is outstanding and stunning!
3, JPEG files are very beautiful.
4, Sexy & light weight
5, New Artistic filters are fun to use.
6, Appearance, a big plus.
7, Very silent.

Cons:

1, Poor video features.
2, Slightly expensive.
3, Battery cover accidentally opens and that too frequently.
4, Focus selection switch is not user friendly, should be changed.

My feature wish list for next upcoming camera for this X100 series is:

1, Panasonic GH3 like video solution with dedicated video features.
2, HDR feature.
3, Full frame.
4, Tilt screen.
5, Water & Dust proof.
6, Shutter release cable.
7, Direct ND filter access.

As mentioned before, the launch of X100S does not make X100 a bad camera, X100 is still great camera with the exception of speed.

I also noticed X100S produces darker image than X100.

ND Filter/ Flash combo is great to use!

X100S has moiré patterns but a little lesser than X100 though.

ND Filter should be accessible by single button and there should be separate button for it.

Conclusion:

X100S is the day camera and you can learn so much with it, and it will not disappoint you in terms of performance specially its Image Quality. It has excellent ISO noise performance and with new censor, accurate and faster focusing system and other improvement now X100S is a great performer. Kudos to Fujifilm for this one! And looking forward to see better & better in future.

I could be error prone.

A perfact companian, Fujifilm X100S

As a pro, I am used to lugging 2 large Nikons with street sweeper zooms plus other gear.  With this camera, you get nearly perfect results from something you can stow in a vest pocket.  After 4 weeks I am still feeling a bit clumsy with the menu options but its becoming easier with each outing.  I am now using the Fuji as my low light option and I love the results.  
P.S.  Make sure to stock up on batteries for the Fuji...it will drain a battery in a short time

Worth the wait

This camera does more than advertised. I enlarged an image taken at F2 to 4x6 feet. I printed a small part of one corner ans a small part of the center. The resultsrival or suppass images taken with a film Leica(M5 with asa 100 film).

Well worth the money

I use this camera to capture images of my children.  The best part about this camera is it's near instant response, specifically the time it takes from when I push the shutter button to the time the image is captured.  I have used several different SLR's over the years.  As you probably know when the shutter button on an SLR is pressed the mirror flips up, the finder blacks out, the image is captured, and the mirror flips back down.  I always believed the time it took for the mirror to move out of the way was negligible and it was not a big deal that the finder blacked out.  I did however miss pictures because of it, especially with medium format SLR's.  In short, I like the range finder concept.  
The down side is, what you see through the finder is not what the lens sees.  The angle of view is shifted down and too the right which for me meant cutting peoples heads partially out of the picture.  On past range finders you would have to get familiar with your camera and compensate.  The genius of this camera is the hybrid finder.  With the flip of a lever you can see in the finder real time what the camera sees through the lens.  Now you can adjust your composure and a host of other things (color, white balance, exposure, etc.) all through the finder.  It works excellent. 
Battery life is not great, but with normal use it's adequate. 
Color rendition, sharpness, focus, and all that other stuff is great.  I am no expert I just know it works well.
In summary this is a great camera for taking pictures of life with your children.

Nice Camera

I use this camera to scout for shots. It's light weight makes it easy to carry and handle so I can keep it in the car or around my neck while walking. It takes great photos and I always get great reviews from friends and family who think I'm using my Nikon 800D!
