Posted on by

DPReview published their full in-depth review for the Fujifilm X100F camera. This Fujifilm X100F compact camera achieved an impressive 83% overall score and Gold Award from the experts at DPReview.

Conclusion from DPReview:

The X100F‘s combination of image quality, usability and styling make it the best in the series yet. It’s still a niche camera, but this latest version’s limitations stem primarily from its design, rather than its implementation. A true photographers’ camera.

Pros:

  • Excellent image quality in Raw and JPEG
  • Sensational JPEG color
  • Ergonomics that match the classic looks
  • Hybrid viewfinder is delightful
  • Improved speed of focus and operation
  • In-camera Raw conversion and Wi-Fi
  • Bigger battery with percentage display
  • USB charging is convenient

Cons:

  • Output of X-Trans sensor not to everyone’s taste
  • AF speed not up to contemporary standards
  • Face detection limited and unreliable
  • Focus/control dial easily knocked (and can’t be disabled)
  • 1080p video seems outdated
  • ISO dial prettier than it is practical

Fujifilm X100F (Black): $1,299 at Amazon, B&H, Adorama.

Fujifilm X100F (Silver): $1,299 at Amazon, B&H, Adorama.
