All we actually knew about Fujifilm’s FinePix X100 was that its looks (and pricetag) could kill, but Photography Blog has discovered that the gorgeous magnesium machine takes fantastic photographs too. You won’t actually have the ability to see any of them at this very moment — because it seems the web site’s images are down — however the publication liberally praised the sharpness and absence of noise afforded by that F2 Fujinon lens, calling the X100 “right up there with the perfect APS-C sensor cameras that can be purchased” in relation to image quality, and with “the neatest build quality of any camera that we’ve ever tested,” too. Strong words, to make certain, however the camera’s not without its quirks, including an obvious one — that 23mm lens is fixed to the camera’s front. And not using a zoom, you’ll deserve to rise up close and private along with your subjects to get that perfect shot, and yet it also lacks a mechanical focus ring (it’s a focal point-by-wire affair here), which may make it difficult to quickly get your bokeh on. The publication remarks that both autofocus and manual focus are fairly slow, there’s no manual option in any respect when recording videos, and focusing macro shots requires switching to a separate mode that switches off the the optical viewfinder. Still, while you weren’t sold in the beginning sight, you most likely are actually. Kiss your tax refund goodbye , folks — it’s been spoken for.
