Fuji X100 Review

By

As of today, the Fuji X100 stands in a category of its own in terms of features, price and performance.  While other manufacturers have attempted to push the envelope, none have succeeded like Fuji has with the X100.  Armed with a 12.3MP sensor and a fixed focal length of 23mm (35mm equivalent), the X100 is not your ordinary point and shoot camera.  It’s also not a DSLR or what we typically categorize as a “mirrorless” camera even though it has no reflex mirror.

Fuji X100 In-Stock

By

The Fuji X100 has been scarce since its announcement, with many in the US wondering just when they’ll get their chance to put hands on one.  If you’ve been waiting, it looks like Amazon has some in stock now.

Only 17 more left in stock at the time of this post.  Better hurry.

Update: It took 25 minutes to blow through the 17 available (at 3AM).  However, Amazon says it has more in stock, but it just takes 1-2 days extra to process the orders (guess they’re in the back of the warehouse, eh?).

Update #2: Wow. Those are gone too.  The X100 may be some hot stuff this year…
