I was introduced to Fujifilm's mirrorless cameras back in 2012 during a press conference that launched the Fujifilm X-Pro1. During the press conference, a Fujifilm representative told Shutterbug's former editor and myself they planned to be number three in camera sales, something that may have...

Occasional overexposure and some too easily pressed buttons are just minor annoyances. The X-T100 has a simple, classical design, a practical and compact kit lens, and a very effective control layout. The image quality is top-drawer too.

Compact 15-45mm kit lens; Value and style combined; Consistently sharp shots

Average autofocus speeds; CMOS sensor not X-Trans; Prone to overexposure

The Fujifilm X-T100 is a SLR-style mirrorless camera with excellent photo quality plus a unique articulating LCD, high-res viewfinder and great battery life. However, its autofocus subject tracking abilities are disappointing, with only 15 fps recording at 4K and overall poor video quality.

Travel, portrait and landscape photographers who want excellent image quality, an articulating LCD and top-notch selection of lenses.;

The Fujifilm X-T100 is Fujifilm's entry-level X-Mount mirrorless camera with an electronic viewfinder. It offers advanced features including full manual controls, a flash hot-shoe, and raw shooting.

Excellent colour reproduction; Stylish SLR looks; Great noise performance; Compact 15-45mm kit lens; Face / eye detection focus; Mic socket

15fps 4K video; Limited ISO range when shooting raw; Focus struggles at times; EVF isn't very detailed

While the absence of an X Trans sensor on the Fujifilm X-T100 is a little disappointing, the reality is that this has allowed Fujifilm to price the camera a little more aggressively.

Film Simulation modes are great; Easy to use; Great image quality for the price; Very good viewfinder; Stylish design

ISO range limited for raw shooting; Only 15fps when shooting 4K; Focusing could be snappier

We've long been fans of Fujifilm's mirrorless cameras, so when the X-T100 was announced it got us scratching our head a bit: is there space in the X-series line-up for an entry-level model which does things a little differently to its bigger brothers

Good image quality potential with the right lenses; Tilt-angle screen and touch controls

Focus is off a bit too frequently; Power zoom lens changes X-series use proposition

The Fujifilm X-T100 is a bit of an oddity in the Japanese company's mirrorless line-up: with its power zoom lens attached it functions differently to its X-series family, but not in a way that's particularly proficient for entry-level users, which sees it sit in a place that's neither here nor there.

For photographers simply looking for a good, affordable starter camera, we still recommend the Sony a6000 as our entry-level Editors' Choice. It's an older model, so you don't get a touch LCD or Bluetooth, but it does have Wi-Fi, an EVF, a tilting LCD, and much faster focus and burst capture.

Attractive, sturdy body; Strong image quality; Excellent lens library; Solid control interface; Sharp EVF; Hot shoe and in-body flash; Articulated touch LCD

Frustratingly slow performance; Inconsistent autofocus with ineffective tracking; Touch not available for menu navigation; Raw capture not available at all ISOs; Choppy 15fps 4K video

The Fujifilm X-T100 is an intermediate mirrorless digital camera that packs high image-quality with a very rich feature set and efficient controls. The 24 MP APS-C CMOS sensor in the X-T100 offers builtin Phase-Detect AF uses a traditional Bayer CFA and Anti-Alias filter stack to deliver a low...

Extremely low image noise until ISO 1600; Good dynamic-range; Nicely saturated colors; Minimal shutter-lag; Generally responsive; Excellent ergonomics; High number of external controls; Good battery-life

Tendency to over-expose; Strong noise-reduction; Slow autofocus; Poor Auto WB; Not Exposure-Priority; 2s Video capture delay; Below average shot-to-shot speeds

Fujifilm's low-cost X-T camera is both stunning and frustrating, but some will love it.

Fantastic design; Articulating touchscreen; Great image quality; Good level of direct control; Built-in electronic viewfinder

Slow autofocus; 4K video limited to 15 fps; No in-body image stabilization
