Fuji X100 ISO Comparison Images

May 19, 2011 By Eric Reagan

I just got my hands on the Fuji X100, and after reading all the praises this APS-C format camera has received for its image quality, I wanted to take a closer look.

Below you will find a chart that covers the sensitivity range of the Fuji X100 for both RAW images exported via Lightroom 3 and in-camera JPEG images. Below the chart, you’ll see links for the full resolution images if you want to download them for your own personal inspection (not for republication).

First, here’s a look at the whole scene so you can get a flavor of what we’re looking at in the chart below.

The 100% crops are taken from the top-left corner of the color chart and include a portion of the wind muff on the Zoom H1.  Note that the ISO 100 and ISO 12800 settings are “expanded” sensitivity settings for which the Fuji X100 does not offer a RAW format capture.

Here are the links to the original files if you want a closer look.  To save a file, right-click the link and choose “Save link as…”

  • ISO 100: RAW (N/A) – JPEG
  • ISO 200: RAW – JPEG
  • ISO 400: RAW – JPEG
  • ISO 800: RAW – JPEG
  • ISO 1600: RAW – JPEG
  • ISO 3200: RAW – JPEG
  • ISO 6400: RAW – JPEG
  • ISO 12800: RAW (N/A) – JPEG

I was blown away at the noise handling throughout the ISO range.  Even when noise starts to creep in, it’s not too ugly.  A little grain is ok now and then and I feel like I could probably work around the noise at any setting with the X100.

I’ll have the full review up soon for an overall evaluation of the X100 .  In the mean time, the Fuji X100 is available from Photography Bay’s trusted retail partner, B&H Photo, at the following link:

Note that this is a hot item right now, so the stock status is a little hit or miss.

    We find the “idea” of the FUJI “X-100″ to be fascinating, but the slow”start speed”,focus speed and lack of Phase Focus, Stabilization and F2 sharpness deminish the camera’s usefulness.
    Fuji , you seem quite able to fix these problems.Please get your technology up to your potential.We would want one!

      It’s 2019 and the new firmware update makes the focusing alot more snappy. And I never shoot anything close up with f2. Other than that- amazing little camera.
