The thrill of control. The passion for shooting
First, photographers had to be a master of their camera to produce great work. Then, anyone could become a photographer thanks to advances in technology. Now, a camera has been created that leaves all the control in the hands of the photographer, but backs it up with advanced technology. The FUJIFILM X100T. Packed with new features such as the world's first electronic rangefinder – a high-quality fusion of optics and electronics – and the Classic Chrome mode, offering the simulation of a classic film style, photographers can combine their passion for shooting with the thrill of controlling their camera once more.

Advanced Hybrid ViewfinderFor the first time ever; highly accurate manual focusing in an optical viewfinder. The simultaneous display of the EVF area on the screen of the optical viewfinder enables accurate focusing in real time. All you need to do is to turn the focus ring and bring the subject in the EVF area into focus, just like focusing with a rangefinder. In addition, Focus Peaking and Digital Split Image* can be selected and the magnification of the focused area can be changed. |
Real-time parallax correctionThe hybrid viewfinder, a key selling point of the FUJIFILM X100 series, has been further evolved. Parallax, the gap between the shooting range frame and actual shooting range when shooting close up, is automatically corrected in real time. Reframing after focusing is no longer necessary. |
Maximizing the power of APS-C-sized X-Trans CMOS II sensorThe FUJIFILM X100T's large APS-C-sized 16M X-Trans CMOS II sensor features an original color filter array with a highly random pattern that minimizes moire and color aberrations, eliminating the need for an optical low-pass filter (OLPF). The result is image quality that rivals a full-frame sensor. |
EXR Processor II — Double the processing speed of the previous generationFaster together — the X-Trans CMOS II sensor and EXR Processor II. The adoption of the dual CPU and improved computational performance has doubled the processing speed when compared with the previous generation processor**, the start-up time has also improved to only approx. 0.5 sec.*** Working in tandem with the high-speed signal readout of the X-Trans CMOS II sensor, the processor reduces the shooting interval to 0.5 sec.*4 and shutter time lag to 0.05 sec. |

23mm F2 Single Focal Length LensThe best image quality without compromise, packed into a slim compact body that you want to take everywhere with you... These were the aims when the FUJIFILM X100T was being developed. And they have been achieved through the incorporation of a newly developed, non-interchangeable, non-collapsible, fixed focal length lens. 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. |
Optical Design with a Priority on PerformanceThe simple all-glass lens configuration (6 groups/8 elements) is designed around a single high-performance double-sided aspheric lens. Uncompromising image quality is assured by the application of multi-layer HTC-EBC(High Transmittance Electoron Beam Coating) coating and other technologies. The result is perfectly balanced optical excellence promising low aberrations, sharp resolution and faithful color reproduction. |
Capture superb 'Bokeh' effects with the 9-blade aperture diaphragmProviding a circular opening at the largest aperture, the 9-blade aperture diaphragm lets you capture pleasingly defocused background effects. Even with a slightly wide angle, the background is softly out of focus while the foreground is sharply defined. |
The Built-in ND FilterEquivalent to 3-steps, the ND filter in the FUJIFILM X100T lens reduces the amount of light to 1/8. In situations where the light is very strong but you want to shoot at a slow shutter speed or do not desire to close the aperture, the built-in ND filter captures the flow of water or flowers swaying in the breeze in bright sunlight or professional portraits with a beautiful defocused background. |

Film Simulation — adding impact and depth to photos.80 years of photo film research adds up to color reproduction that's second to none. Over decades of film manufacture Fujifilm has perfected the skill of color reproduction and it lives on in the FUJIFILM X00T. Pleasing skin tones, natural blues and greens, and the ability to perfectly record the diversity of white balance conditions throughout the day are all taken in the camera's stride, and it also boasts a wide dynamic range for better reproduction of detail. With Film Simulation, you can choose from classic Fujifilm photo styles, and give your pictures varied color and tone to suit the subject, just like pros did with film. There's standard PROVIA, vivid Velvia, and ASTIA with its true-to-life skin tones; PRO Neg.Std and PRO Neg.Hi, which are portrait modes based on professional color negative film; and Monochrome expression with three different filter effects as well as Sepia. |
The new Classic Chrome mode replicates classic color from the film genreA sixth choice has been added to Film Simulation, which gives a unique luster and depth to photos; Classic Chrome. Classic Chrome was inspired by feedback and requests from X Series photographers and its look is inspired by printed images in magazines from the glory days of photo journalism, rather than a specific film type. With slightly muted tones and deep color reproduction, it's a clear departure from the existing five types. Rather than a pure record of the scene, Classic Chrome offers photographers a more expressive, and artistic look to their shots. |
High-speed 1/32,000sec electronic shutterThe brand new electronic shutter delivers ultra-high-speed exposures up to 1/32000sec. Shallow depth-of-field effects can now be shot with the aperture wide open even in snow or on the beach under clear skies. As there are no mechanically operated parts, there is no shutter sound so natural expressions of animals and sleeping babies can be captured more easily than ever before. |

Focus with a Touch with the new smart application - FUJIFILM Camera RemoteWith the new dedicated 'FUJIFILM Camera Remote' application, you can focus and trigger the camera release from your smartphone or tablet. The app not only lets you adjust focus, but also control settings like shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation and ISO sensitivity. You can even apply other settings like Film Simulation, self-timer, and flash while 'Touch AF' lets you focus from your phone or tablet, too. Imagine all the situations where this smart assistant will come in handy! Take commemorative group photos with yourself in the shot, capture wildlife photos, or remotely release the shutter for night shots free from camera shake.The photographic possibilities are endless. |
Choose a cinematic tone for Full HD moviesFrame rates can be selected from 60fps, 50fps, 30fps, 25fps and 24fps for Full HD movies, supporting worldwide motion picture formats. It is also possible to change the settings of aperture, shutter speed, and exposure compensation while shooting a movie. Just as with still images, program, aperture priority, shutter priority and manual modes can be selected, as well as film simulation modes. Various expressions can be enjoyed such as a documentary style with Classic Chrome. |
Three focal lengths with image quality and brightness comparable to that of full-size SLR interchangIn addition to the popular 28mm* wide-conversion lens** that thoroughly controls the decline of peripheral resolution and the increase of distortion, a 50mm* tele-conversion lens** that secures the right amount of luminescence in the surroundings and bright F-value and produces excellent bokeh, has been released. By simply selecting these two lenses in the menu, the bright frame equivalent to the field of view is displayed in the optical viewfinder. The coordination of the 3 lenses offers high image quality and color reproduction comparable to that of interchangeable lenses. The strenuously developed lens barrel design presents an excellent sense of unity when the lens is attached as if it was an orignal lens. |

I used to shoot with a Nikon D90 and the "auto" white balance on that camera was not functional. I am sticking to the Fujifilm X-system from now on. The D90 will be sold off, along with all my lenses. I will use this X100T for several years and if ever I become more enthusiastic again about photography, will consider moving to the successor of the X-T1.
i've used it for 4 months now, i'm in love! Very versatile and great streetphoto. I recommend it!

What is it about this camera? Well, let's start with the image quality. It really is quite astounding. It starts with the APS-C sensor size, which is the same as my D7100. That allows for more control over depth of field and better low light sensitivity. Next is the Fuji lens, which is awesome, though (or maybe because) it's fixed. Further, fuji's semi-random pattern color filter allows for better color, and sharper images. Contrast is in incredible too. This camera also has the best in camera JPEG processing I've ever seen.
It takes some truly stunning images is the important point though. Great contrast, color beats any camera I've ever owned (and I've owned a D800), sharpness is excellent. In low light it holds its own with my old D7000 and squarely whips any APS-C Canon I've ever seen, and quite a few of Canon's full frame cameras. In comparison of low light with my Canon 7D, which is a pro-level Canon camera, this things blows it away in low light, it's not even a contest.
Next is the portability. No, it won't fit in a jeans pocket. For that level of portability I still lean on my iPhone. But it will fit in a coat pocket and any very small bag. I've taken to using a small messenger bag (or as my friends like to call it, murse) that carries this camera, a notebook, iPad, some pens and other items with me. While it's a bag, it's nothing remotely like even my most compact dSLR bag. But more importantly to me, it's portable when it's out of the bag. It's not a chore to hold up. I find my hand gravitating to it, unlike my dSLR, which my hand wants to run from at times.
Which brings me to maybe the most important, yet hardest to explain aspect. It's just a joy to shoot with. Every aspect of the camera is joy. The way it feels in your had, the size, the look, the feel. The way the images look, the way it makes you want to shoot. The way you can immediately upload a fun photo in the moment that can be posted online within minutes.
Fuji's in camera JPEG processing is hard to beat. I've totally fallen for the Classic Chrome filter for most of my shooting. I usually feel like little to no post processing is needed then. I like velvia if I want a little more pop to my color. The various B+W filters are great too, especially for street photography. I used to be a "always shoot in RAW at all times!" guy. This camera changed my mind on that. I shoot it in JPEG 99% of the time and am more than happy with the results.
I love the controls. I typically take control of the aperture and the shutter speed, and then set the ISO to auto, ranging from 200-3200. I then use the viewfinder to make real time exposure adjustments using exposure compensation. most of the time I use about -1/3 exposure comp, but I like being able to set aperture and shutter speed to scene appropriate values and then using ISO adjustment to fine tune. If you have Shutter speed and aperture set to manual control (ie not A), then the camera makes a pretty good guess at exposure and you can use the exposure comp to adjust ISO up and down. I've really started to love this way of shooting and have found myself annoyed with my other cameras that can't shoot this way quite as easily.
Focus is fast, but not dSLR fast. It beats out most any other compact I've used though.
I love the viewfinder. I alternate between EVF and OVF with the corner EVF image turned on. I love the options you have here. Definitely the best viewfinder I've ever used. SO easy to change modes as well, just flip the switch in the front.
I also like the customizability of the function buttons. I feel like I can really make the shooting experience mine, such that everything is second nature.
This camera truly feels like an extension of me. Everything feels natural with it. And that makes for better photographs. Technically it's extremely capable. I'm keeping all my system dSLRs, but I have a feeling when I look back at my life, that the best pictures I ever took will be with this camera.

The 35mm equiv lens is absolutely perfect for what I like to shoot. Wide enough for some landscape shots, close enough for portraits. There's not much distortion so everything looks very natural. Fantastic for street photography. I'm can't say I'm expert at lens quality but I'm experienced enough to discern when one is bad, and this one is not bad. The images come out sharp (except some distortion around the edges), and no achromatic aberration that I've noticed.
The colors from this camera are amazing. I've been shooting RAW+JPEG so that I can edit photos with VSCO on the fly from my iPad, and the JPEG color looks great - very natural and balanced. Fuji did a great job at creating built in color filters to imitate film, and some images do genuinely remind me of the types of color I used to get when I shot 35mm. Compare this to the shots I typically see coming out of Sony cameras, which to my eye have a strangely saturated "digital" look to them.
The wi-fi feature has been incredible to use during my trip. It's allowed me to take selfies without guesswork, and also edit and post photos the same day. And I honestly don't think I need to go into Photoshop once I get back - the photos put through the VSCO app already look fantastic.
I love the solid retro look and feel that the camera has - its simple and not overly designed. It just works. The button layout was a bit confusing at first but I'm used to it now. I love how much customization there is for each button as well.
So complaints? It's what you've read from most other reviewers; the video sucks. I'm a videographer, so that's a pretty big disappointment. Also, weather sealing. If they add that into the next x100 model, I will probably sell my T and upgrade. I have a extended warranty, but with all the outdoor shooting I do it would be nice to have that extra peace of mind.
So if your situation is similar to mine, I say stop thinking and go for the purchase. You won't be disappointed. And do yourself a favor and throw in a Spider Black Widow holster - these two were meant to go together.
(Attached are two photos I've taken with the x100T in Japan this summer.)
EDIT: It's been 7 years since I bought this camera, and while I've upgraded to a XT3 I still keep the x100T around as a memento of a life changing relationship. That's no exaggeration. The x100t helped me become a better photographer through a combination of usability (I started shooting a lot more), image quality and fun. If you're on a tight budget I would say it's still an excellent and very capable piece of equipment. My camera is beat to hell and has been in some really rough, dirty environments, and even without weather sealing it's still functioning (asides from some occasional mechanical glitches).

First of all, this is a quality camera. As soon as you take it from the box you realize how solid it is. I have the silver version and I love the 'retro film camera' look to it. A number of people remarked what a cool old camera I had. That's fine with me. When I go out on the street I want to look like a goofy tourist that nobody takes seriously. I would not call this an entry level camera, it is more useful if the shooter has a background in photography because there are settings which are kind of subtle.
You can read the other reviews about the features of this camera. I want to mention a few things, which I don't think other people will discuss. The first thing is that I usually shoot in 'aperture mode'. I do this primarily because I want to be in charge of the aperture setting. I did some testing of the lens through the available f stops on the camera and I found the sweet spot range to be f4.0 to f8. Outside of this range the photos are softer especially on the high end. F4 is really good. F2 and f2.8 are serviceable, but I probably will not use them very much.
The other thing that I tested is the focus area, which is a settable feature. For me the auto-focus works best when the auto-focus area is set to a very small square. If I make the focus area bigger then the camera's algorithms don't seem to work as well, so the subject of the photo CAN be soft. I personally like very sharp pictures so this is important to me. But I know that some people like the soft look. This is really, really important when the depth of field is narrow. In street photography things happen fast so the camera has to focus spot-on.
Another thing I want to mention is that this a high ISO camera. If I set the aperture to F4, then indoor situations with no flash I sometimes have to set the ISO to 4000 or so to get the shutter speed fast enough to eliminate blurring from shooter shake. The good thing is that this camera has very low noise, so these high ISO values will work. The point is that I am finding that I have to set the ISO higher than I do for my Canon DSLRs in equivalent situations. It probably has to do with the size of the sensors.
I use Lightroom 5.7 which can handle the 'x100t' raw files fine. This is a fairly new version of LR. It does seem as though that I don't have the same kind of preciseness of range adjustments that I do with Canon DSLR photos in LR. Little adjustments make big changes in the output. I am working and researching this side of it to see if I can do better with the dynamic range. It is always a learning process to refine these things for the situations at hand.
I will add updates to this review as I go along.

I have found additional success by using the auto ISO feature. To gain good exposure shooting in 'aperture priority' mode (f4), the ISO has to be adjusted. For street photography the conditions can change quickly due to clouds, shade, bright sunlight and so on. You want the lowest possible ISO such that the shutter speed is high enough to reduce blur due to shake. The lowest possible ISO keeps noise to a minimum. This is not easy to do on the fly and could cost the shot. This camera has an 'auto ISO' feature, which I am now using. I set the max ISO to 3200 and the minimum shutter speed to 1/125. This produces excellent photos all the time. The camera's algorithms seem to minimize the ISO and keep the shutter speed faster than 1/125, which is exactly what I want. The only caveat is that if the light is too low and a good exposure cannot be obtained, then the camera will slow the shutter speed so that it is. In that case the max ISO should be raised to 6400 and higher if necessary. I now have an excellent setup that I can count on for doing street photography.
I am a Nikon shooter, going back to 70's. I still shoot film with my Nikon F100 and Contax G2. I switched to Digital in 2000 when Nikon came out with D1x. My current Digital setup is a Nikon D800 and a D600. I always wanted a Digital G2 so I tried the Fuji X-pro1 when it came out and I hated it. So I got a Sony NEX-7 as a take-every-where camera. Was not happy with the NEX's Menu system and controls but it did the job. Fast forward to November 2014. With some hesitation, I ordered the X100T. Now lets talk about this thing.
Ignore every thing you read about X100 or X100s. If you are interested in this camera ignore all reviews done before X100T.
First and foremost it is a very good APS-C sensor camera. It dose what it should do and IQ is right up there with the best of APS-C world. But it is more than that when it come to usability and handling. It works and feels like a film camera and it is a pleasure to use.
The build quality is great and feels solid even though it is lighter than I thought it would be. But when my wife picked it up she said it was heavier than she thought. Oh well.
Auto focus is there, both accuracy and speed. IQ is there. ISO performance is there.
The manual focus system is a dream to use. Even though it is just a Fly by Wire focus adjustment. The manual focus ring feels like it is mechanical and it is dampened. Kudos to Fuji for getting it. It makes you want to turn off the autofocus so that you can just play with the manual focus ring.
One of my biggest disappointments with X-pro1 was the Fly-By-Wire focus systems's delayed feed back. The X100T has a very direct and quick feed back.
Now if you have had X100 or X100s and really liked it. You will love X100T. The new OVF improvements alone is worth the upgrade. And lots of small improvements with everything else. The new LCD in OVF is not a gimmick, even though at first I thought it was but it really works.
And If you are like me and new to Fuji X world, think about this, a good 35mm-f1.8 lens from Nikon will cost you almost $600.00 and you have to change lenses. I hate changing lenses. This 35mm f2.0 camera always is ready to be used. And it fits in my bag in the same hole as my 35mm lens. -- Any way enough soap boxing.
The WiFi works. I was really surprised that it did work out of the box and with no fuss. I have had so many bad experiences with WiFi connected devices that I was not going to even test it but being a technology geek I just could not help myself.
It plane worked and it was fast. You can look at the images while they are in the camera from the iPhone, you can control the Camera (tethering with lots of controls) and you can download the images to the iPhone and post them online with in seconds.
Not much bad to report, I have only a few small negative things to say.
1-The Exposure metering system is not as good as the Nikon system. It is not even as good as the entry level D3300. But it is very useable and the ergonomics of the camera is such a way that it allows me to use the exposure compensation on the fly to adjust the exposure. It will take some time to get used to it like any other camera. One helpful thing is that it has WYSIWYG live view capability and I can gage the exposure quickly.
2- Another issue is the battery life. But I think I may not be a good judge here since most of my experience comes from DSLRs and SLRs which usually all have a great battery life but I think this is a bit on the low side.
3- The on/off button is on the mushy side but all the other buttons and Dials are excellent.
Believe it or not that is it.
So, If you are a film generation Photographer you should get this Camera. You will be doing your self a big favor. It is so much fun to use. I hope this help some of you, make up your minds.

Update 11/21/2014:
A friend called and was upset that his new X100t was overexposing at f2 and he could consistently reproduce the problem.
Asked if I had the same issue. Actually I do, But it is by design.
Fuji X100t like any other Leaf Shutter system. Has limitation on how fast it can open and close the Leaf shutters. So the Camera limits the shutter speed to 1/1000 sec at f2. This will push the camera to over expose images if the scene is very bright. That is why Fuji includes a 3 stop ND filter. You can activated the filter in the menu if you have to shoot at f2 in bright light. You can also assign the ND function to one of the 7 function keys if you get in to that situation a lot.
So I thought I post the info here in case you did not know that. I could not find any info online to point him to, so if any one knows more feel free to add to the comments.
