Fujifilm X100 Series Comparison (X100, X100S, X100T, X100F and X100V)

Fuji X100V Front

Since the release of the original Fujifilm X100 in 2011, there have been a total of four updates to the camera: X100S, X100T, X100F, and the latest is the X100V. Thanks to its unique and beautiful retro design, an advanced hybrid viewfinder, a superb APS-C CMOS sensor, a fast 23mm f/2 lens (with a leaf shutter) and excellent ergonomics, the FinePix X100-series cameras have been highly regarded in the Fuji community. And thanks to their compact, lightweight and somewhat pocketable form, these cameras have been especially favored among travel and street photographers. We decided to put together a detailed comparison between all the X100-series cameras, which will hopefully make it easier for our readers to identify their similarities and differences.

For the past few years, the camera market has been contracting at an unusually fast pace, resulting in decreased sales of DSLR and mirrorless cameras. The point-and-shoot market is already dead, and entry-level camera sales have also seen huge declines worldwide. This is mostly attributed to the rise of the smartphone, and the fact that smartphone manufacturers have been moving into the camera industry, focusing heavily on camera features. The outlook of the smartphone invasion is pretty grim, and it seems like some companies might not be able to survive as a result. So the big question is, is there anything camera manufacturers can do to stay afloat? I have been wondering about this for a while now, so I have decided to put together some of my thoughts in this article.
