TL;DR:
Summary: The X100F has some really nice updates making it the most well rounded X100 camera to date, but not enough for most X100T owners to move up. It's a no brainer for X100/X100S owners.
Likes:
+ Same body that X100 fans love about this camera
+ Shared sensor/processor of the newest Fuji cameras
+ Improved AF experience -- more phase detect AF points, joystick, eye detection, useable C-AF
+ More buttons/dials for increased customizability
+ Improved video
+ NP-126S battery (shared w/ X-T2/X-Pro2)
Dislikes:
- Still not weather sealed
- single SD Card slot (and behind battery door)
- MHG-X100 grip not compatible
Longer Review (subject to future updates):
I've had the opportunity of owning the X100S and the X100T previously and have enjoyed the incremental updates as each generation was introduced. The X100F further updates the X100T bringing it pretty darn close to the X-Pro2 and the X-T2 (which I also own).
I just received the X100F, so I haven't put it through its paces, however I wanted to share my initial impressions:
Body & Ergonomics:
This was probably the most noticeable change out of the box. Same great build quality (still not weather sealed), but camera is slightly heavier and thicker than the X100T. The changes are to hold the larger battery (yay!), but the MHG-X100 is not compatible with this new body (boo!). With a thumb grip, I find it much easier to hold in hand, however I still plan on getting a 3rd party grip w/ arca swiss compatible plate.
The added external buttons, front wheel, AF joystick, ISO dial, etc. really make this camera even more customizable and usable. Other than that, this camera still maintains all the appeal and charm of the X100 series.
Autofocus
I appreciate more phase detect AF points as I try to avoid focus/recomposing. C-AF feels far more usable. I've not fully tested it, but initially, far and away better than the X100T.
The AF joystick is a joy to use and keeps the experience consistent w/ the XT-2 and X-Pro2.
AF speed from my initial tests felt pretty much like my X100T which I never felt was too slow. I expect the increased AF points and new processor to help with AF acquisition.
I enjoyed the face detection of the X100T and am pleased to see eye detection carry over from the X-T2/X-Pro2.
Video
Like C-AF, far more useable than the X100T. I'm not a video person, but it's nice to know I could make decent clips with this camera if needed.
New Battery
With the new NP-126S, I can now just keep one style battery in my bag and use interchangeably between the X100F and my XT-2. USB charging carries over from the X100T.

|---|---|---|---|
Newly Developed APS-C Sensor, X-Trans CMOS IIIThe Fujifilm X100F features the X-Trans CMOS III sensor specifically designed for the X Series. The X-Trans CMOS III uses an aperiodic color filter array to eliminate the need for an optical low-pass filter. The 24.3MP APS-C sensor controls noise beautifully despite its increased pixel count, allowing the standard sensitivity range to be boosted to ISO12800, which was in the extended sensitivity range in previous models. Additionally, the phase detection area has been expanded to enable phase detection AF, allowing the camera to function with greater speed and accuracy than ever before. |
All New Engine, X-Processor ProThe Fujifilm X100F uses newly developed X-Processor Pro as its image processing engine, achieving processing speeds of about 4 times faster than previous models. It draws out the full capability of the X-Trans CMOS III sensor which supports high-speed data read to dramatically improve response time. The X-Processor Pro also helps display a moving subject more smoothly, thanks to the improvement of the refresh rate to 60fps for the LCD monitor and EVF's Live View mode. The engine has reduced the camera's startup time to approx. 0.5 seconds, shortening the time required from powering on to shooting - so you won't miss a beat. |
Expanded Phase Detection AF AreaThe Fujifilm X100F features phase detection AF using phase detection pixels on the sensor. The phase detection area on the sensor has been increased by approx. 230% as compared to previous models. The camera uses 91 focus points (up to 325 points) for high-speed and high-accuracy focusing as compared to 49 points in previous models The AF algorithm itself has been revised to ensure accurate focusing even in difficult conditions such as low-contrast scenes in overcast weather. |
New Built-In ISO DialNew features in the Fujifilm X100F include the Built-In ISO Dial, incorporated into the Shutter Speed Dial reminiscent of film cameras of yesteryear, the focus lever, which allows you to instantaneously move the focus area without having to take your eye off the viewfinder, and the 'C' position for enabling ±5 stop exposure compensation. Most of the operation-related buttons and dials are concentrated on the right-hand side to allow quick change of settings while firmly holding the camera. |
|
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
Focus Lever For Quick Selection Of Focus AreasThe Fujifilm X100F is the first lens-integrated X Series camera that features the Focus Lever. It moves in eight directions (up / down, right / left and diagonally) so that you can swiftly move your AF point selection while maintaining composition. |
Advanced Hybrid ViewfinderThe Advanced Hybrid Viewfinder combines the features of an optical viewfinder (OVF) and electronic viewfinder (EVF). Operate the viewfinder switch lever at the front of the camera body to instantly switch between OVF and EVF. You can also apply the electronic display which shows a focus area over the OVF screen to take advantage of Focus Peaking and Digital Split Image functions even in the OVF mode for accurate focusing in real time. The Electronic Rangefinder shows the EVF in a small window at the bottom right corner of the OVF. The EVF in the ERF mode has 100% finder coverage and can display a focus area in 2.5x and 6x magnification. While composing with the OVF, you can check the EVF window for exposure, white balance and other details to be reflected in your actual pictures. Use the MF Assist function for highly accurate manual focusing. |
Real Time Parallax CorrectionParallax, i.e. a displacement of the shooting frame in the viewfinder from the actual area to be photographed especially in close-ups, is automatically corrected in real time. Even in OVF mode, the X100F automatically corrects the position of the shooting frame and focus area upon focusing, and displays them correctly for more accurate composition. |
'C' Position For Enabling ±5-Step Exposure CompensationThe ergonomically placed exposure compensation dial supports compensation of up to ±3-step in 1/3 steps. Put the dial into 'C' position and operate the Front Command Dial to achieve exposure compensation of up to ±5-step while checking the results in your EVF in real time. This lets you capture perfectly exposed moments exactly as intended. |
|
|

|
|---|---|---|---|
Choice Of Six AF Modes To Suit Each SceneThe Fujifilm X100F offers AF-S for stationary subjects and AF-C for moving subjects. For both options, you can choose either Single Point AF, Zone AF or Wide / Tracking AF, in which the camera automatically selects multiple areas for focusing. In the Single Point AF and Zone AF modes, use the Focus Lever beside the LCD monitor to instantaneously change the location and size of focus areas. |
Film Simulation ModesA manufacturer of photographic film for over 80 years, Fujifilm has always been dedicated to achieving premium image quality across both analog and digital spectrums. The Fujifilm X100F features 15 Film Simulation options including PROVIA/Standard, Velvia/Vivid and ASTIA/Soft, which are named after Fujifilm's most renowned photographic films. They deliver warm skin tones, crisp blue hues of the sky and vivid green of lush greenery exactly as your mind remembers in your memory. This is the first X100 Series model to feature ACROS, delivering smooth gradation, deep blacks and beautiful textures that set it apart from the conventional Monochrome mode. |
Ultra-Fast Electronic Shutter At 1/32000 SecFeaturing a durable leaf shutter that withstands 100,000 actuations and an electronic shutter with silent operation, the Fujifilm X100F is a formidable photographic tool. When operating on electronic shutter, the camera delivers an ultra-high shutter speed of up to 1/32000 sec to achieve correct exposure even in strong daylight or when shooting with the aperture wide open. You can switch the shutter sound setting to Off in a quiet church or during a concert for total discretion. |
Extended Full-HD Video RecordingFull HD video recording is supported in six frame rates (59.94p / 50p / 29.97p / 25p / 24p / 23.98p) with improved AF tracking performance as compared to previous models. You can adjust aperture, shutter speed and exposure compensation settings while recording. Film Simulation effects can also be applied to video for versatile and artistic video output. |

Advanced FiltersUse this function to apply various filter effects to broaden your scope of artistic expressions. There are eight filters available, including High Key for reduced contrast and brighter tones overall, Toy Camera for a retro appearance, and Partial Color for retaining a specific color range and turning the rest into monochrome. You can check the filter effect in real time while shooting through your EVF and LCD. |
Three-Stop Built-In ND FilterThe Fujifilm X100F's lens has a built-in ND filter, which is useful when shooting with the aperture wide open in bright light, or when opting to use a slow shutter speed. The three-stop ND filter, which cuts down the amount of light to 1/8, can be activated easily with the function button or from the camera menu. |
Conversion LensesThe WCL-X100 II Wide Conversion and the TCL-X100 II Teleconversion Lenses expand the Fujifilm X100F's shooting field while perfectly retaining the advanced image quality and performance of the camera's fixed Fujinon 23mmF2 Prime Lens. Their elegant design, created specifically for the X100 Series, is in total harmony with the Fujifilm X100F. These conversion lenses are optically designed to draw out the performance of Fujifilm X100F's lens to the maximum extent, delivering premium image quality without affecting the lens' f-stop value. The camera body automatically recognizes when a conversion lens is mounted and displays framing guidelines indicating the shooting area when in OVF mode. |
Digital TeleconverterActivate the Digital Teleconverter to achieve an angle of view equivalent to 50mm or 70mm in addition to the built-in 35mm perspective. This function is perfect for discreetly getting a little closer or to accentuate certain features in your frame. Using the EVF or LCD to check your image in real time allows you to maintain full concentration on your subject matter while shooting. |

DPReview Overview: Fujifilm X100F
DPReview
Soul in a box!
As an X-Pro.2 owner I contemplated purchasing the X100F for months before it even came out, because I owned the X100S I was very familiar with what the X100F would bring. The X100S had something that no other camera I owned prior to it had, it had soul. Its a subjective conclusion to my experience with the X100S, however, ever since I let it go and went with the X-Pro.2 I missed it more, more. I made the plunge and bought the X100F, knowing it was a very similar set-up to the X-Pro.2, expect when I got it and opened the box I was so surprised as to how small the X100F was compared to the X-Pro.2. Having had the X-Pro.2 as my only camera for over a year, I forgot that one of the main features of what made the X100S such a beauty was the compact size and the how effortless it felt to take it everywhere. My only two downsides to the X100F is the lack of weather-sealing/resistance and built-in GPS (I know this can be done through the app but its not intuitive). The weather-sealing is probably the main feature that made me hesitate over and over about making the purchase, knowing my X-Pro.2 with the 23 f.2 had that advantage. However, I remember numerous times where I left my X-Pro.2 behind because it was a hassle to carry around (yes even with all the "fujicrons" f.2 lenses I own - 18, 23, & 35), and I always had to make a choice between handling the X-Pro.2 with a thumb-grip which I believe is essential or a flash (first world problems!)Depending on your style of photography I believe this camera is suitable for most photographers styles, documentary, travel, portraiture street and believe me landscape photography if your willing to think of it differently.
