Apparently, some just need to stick with the rock-heavy SLRs, being more precisely todays professionals, but the discerning metropolitan can’t afford to lug an additional 4-pounder around. Fortunately, trend evolves towards compact dimensioned cameras that exude quality throughout, just like the recently introduced Fujifilm FinePix X100. A definitely compelling retro-charm evokes when viewing at this slim yet seriously capable camera, which boasts a 12.3 Megapixel APS-C CMOS, an EXR processor and a large, 9-blade aperture, bokeh-ready 23mm F2 Fujinon fixed lens that does not tolerate any quality compromises. A proprietary hybrid viewfinder combines an optical and electronic viewfinder togglable via a dedicated switch on the magnesium alloy top, allowing you to fully take advantage of an ISO 200 to 6400 range and the additional, almost obligatory 720p video mode.
