Fujifilm X100S review – the best compact for enthusiasts?

Fujifilm’s X100S is a compact, retro-styled camera with a large APS-C sized sensor, fixed 35mm f2 equivalent lens and the choice of screen or viewfinder for composition. It’s the successor to the X100, a model that revitalized the market for fixed-lens cameras aimed at enthusiasts. The X100 proved there was demand for such a camera but suffered from a number of issues. The X100S attempts to resolve those issues and deliver excellent performance without losing the retro charm of its predecessor. Has it succeeded? Without giving too much away, I’d say so! Check out our in-depth Fujifilm X100S review to find out how it compares to Nikon’s COOLPIX A and Sony’s Cyber-shot RX1, and why it could be the high-end compact for you!
