Another Joins The Fray

The recently released Fujifilm X-T100 is the least expensive X-series camera with a viewfinder.

Aimed at entry-level, social photographers, and vloggers, the X-T100 has an interesting set of features and a very stylish design backing it up. At first glance, it even seems to take inspiration from the X-T20’s design. Its closest competitor is the similarly priced Canon EOS M50, that I had recently reviewed. But does it prove to be competent under scrutiny?

Features

The Fuji X-T100 has a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor, a 2.36 M-dot OLED electronic viewfinder, and a 91-point Hybrid AF system, of which 35 use phase detection. It makes use of the traditional CMOS sensor instead of Fujifilm’s X-Trans CMOS.

The X-T100 has an ISO range of 100-51200 (when extended fully). If one wishes to shoot in RAW, however, they would be restricted to ISO 200-12800. Its 3-inch touchscreen LCD can flip out 180° and tilt up and down. It also offers 6fps continuous shooting of up to 26 JPEGS. While the camera can also shoot 4K video, it can only do so at 15fps. It does, however, have a time-lapse feature which allows for time lapses to be shot and compiled within the camera in 4K/30p. The mode dial on top features modules like Aperture, Manual, Shutter Priority, Program, Advanced SR auto (which selects optimum camera settings based on modes), Advanced Filter, Portrait, Portrait Enhancer (which smoothens a subject’s skin), Landscape, Sport, Night, and Motion Panorama.
