The Fujifilm X-T100 - The Best Kept Secret in Fujifilm X Cameras?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 вер 2024
- With its Fujifilm colour science and fantastic JPEG film simulations, the Fujifilm X-T100 can make some extraordinary images, and at 24 megapixels they're high resolution too!
Its price of about £200 makes it quite a contender in the used mirrorless market. Whether you're looking for your looking for your first mirrorless camera, or you're a more experienced photographer, this camera could make a lot of sense.
But how does it compare against its better known rivals, the X-T10, and the X-T1? And how does its conventional Bayer sensor compare to their renowned X-Trans sensors?
Will it stand proud, or fall flat on its face?

You could customize the left wheel to change the ISO instead of the film simulations. I use it this way and find it convenient.
Thanks for the tip!
How??

Great in-depth review here of the pros and cons. I have an X-T100 and have had it since it came out all those years ago. On my travels it has been dropped countless times (I am clumsy) on tarmac, tile, concrete and still works perfectly. Let's just say the scratches and dings added when I've dropped the camera while getting in and out of Jeeps, or knocking it on rocks while hiking, or falling over while chasing after a cab in a dark street of a tropical island are "characterful". The LCD still works. In addition to the decent build quality, the viewfinder is literally the one in the X-T20, so comments by one person in the audience about it being a "toy" are ludicrous. It's not an X-T4 or X-Pro but that doesn't mean it's rubbish either.
'Toy' is not accurate at all - this is a very nice mirrorless camera. Sounds like yours has plenty of patina too!
I got one used for around $250. Super fun. One recommendation: use the mechanical shutter, as the electronic shutter has a major rolling shutter issue
Thanks for the tip!
This is the first serious digital camera that I bought. Yes, sometimes is really slow but it doesn't matter, I've leaned to take the best I could from it. The customization isn't great but I could manage to have the Iso on the left knob and the type of light measurement on the only customizable button. I love the fact that is so small so I can take with me also a film camera without problems.
I love the zero-grip clean classic body shape, and it can print directly onto an Instax printer. With a speed booster it is quite decent for classic manual focus AI, FD, MD, OM and other lenses.
Of all Fuji cameras, I like the X-10, X-100 compact series the most.
They are small and made in the good old analog style and have that one delightful thing - an optical viewfinder (!!!)👍
Pictures are crisp and clear, I don't care about video. 👍✌️🙏
26:21 What is even better is that the X-T100 is the only camera that has two hinged screen: it tilts and flips - better than any other cameras. I love the zero-grip clean classic body shape, and it can print directly onto an Instax printer. With a speed booster it is quite decent for classic manual focus AI, FD, MD, OM and other lenses. If only, the X-T200 had kept the minimalist, no-grip body shape and the two-hinge design with the 3.5" screen, in this case X-T200 could be the best camera for classic camera design lovers.
Slight correction, sir. ISO can be assigned to the top left control dial in settings. It then functions as an ISO dial in all but special modes (adv. filter, auto, etc.). You're then left with the rear wheel dial to use as either aperture or shutter adjustment, depending on what priority mode you're in. Cheers for the video.
Thanks for the info!
I have a full spectrum converted one of these. Great little camera. I've used it as a normal camera as well, with an IR/UV cut filter on the lens. Very nice image quality on the lower iso settings, and not too bad on the higher ones either!
A nice little camera, for sure!
running these Xtrans with vintage lens + Astia simulation with low sharpness setting, is way too much fun, I have to admit
Indeed it is!
Those little inconspicuous cameras like X-T100 give so much fun.
Indeed they do!
Interesting to hear your thoughts on the X-T100, Nigel.
I bought, for my wife, the X-A5 with the same sensor as your T100. I can definitely see the difference between the X-Trans range and the Beyer sensors, IMO there is no better sensor than the X-Trans III, couple that with the X-E3 body and you have the best of all worlds, great sensor, compact and unobtrusive body, with the controls back on dials (except of course the ISO, which I designate the front control wheel to ISO on my E3).
My experience of video using the X-A5 is limited, but I don't think that that is what these cameras are for, quite frankly. There are much better cameras for video work, and at times I wish that Fuji had just omitted video entirely from the consumer range of cameras. Still, for the market it is aimed at 1080p 60 fps is more than adequate, if you want top quality 4k you wouldn't be shooting a consumer camera anyway, you'd be going for a top end Black Magic or similar.
Great video, though, and please, give the little X-T100 time to worm its way into your affections, I'm sure that you'll come to appreciate it.

It's a nice little camera for sure, and I think anyone who comes to it from an entry level camera from another manufacturer might well be pleasantly surprised - I'm sure I would be! But its images aren't quite as nice as those from x-trans sensors which, I think, have spoiled me a bit!
Because you mentioned worms :) This XT100 won’t produce worm effects in Lightroom which is a big advantage over the X Trans sensor
@@godofhope yes, I noticed that when you really pixel peep at some (not all) images from the X-Trans sensors, I think that it only happens when you grossly underexpose images, and then only in flat patches of colour, at least that's my experience.
Imao sam Fuji xt 100 i mogu reci da je odlican fotoaparat. Boje ima fantazija i mogu se napraviti predobre fotke. Autofokus je super i svaka pohvala za ovaj aparat
To je sigurno lijepa mala kamera, ali mislim da X-Trans senzori daju malo ljepše slike. Hvala na gledanju!
@@zenography7923 naravno i slazem se. Ja sam presao na Sony A7R i sta mislite o tom aparatu naspram sony a6000???? Hvala
After taking my reflex or my m43 with a heavy zoom for family short trips on Sundays I now adopted this small and nice xt-100 with just a 18mm (eq27mm) and’ it wonderful and my back says thx to me.
I have the top little fn button for changing iso. To me this is a great camera and I mostly shoot and focus manually. I never use the flipscreen and I use a kiwi eye viewfinder thing in my hotshoe. I also bought myself an L plate to have a good grip. As for using in m mode , you use the little wheel to change aperture and the round dial on the top right to change shutterspeed. Okay it does not have the xtrans sensor but the images it takes are great imo. With the xc35mmf2 it works very fast in terms of focus and I recommend using a SanDisk extreme pro 64gb sdcard. That gives a very fast writing reading speed. Peaking depends on the lenses attached to the camera. I never use the lcd screen , always the viewfinder, with the kiwi eye viewfinder to have the best view, even with glasses on. For focusing I always use the peaking in combination with the focuszoom to nail the focus.
Nice how mother nature left a random but very fitting Hipster-Filter on the last minutes of your video, that's how we did it before Instagram and Hipstamatic! :)
As for the X-T100, I really like the body, I find it's design and proportions much more pleasing and old-school than the X-T10/20 body style... it's just that the one reason I bought into the Fuji system is really the dedicated dials and I just don't enjoy PASM-cameras, otherwise this would be all I need.
I know what you mean - those dials are both very useful and very good looking too!
Have you ever consided making a vid of medium format folding cameras? They are so underpriced imho.
An interesting suggestion, thanks!
I wonder if that rotating vertical "wheel" on the back can be pressed down to get a digital zoom on the back screen. The thing about exposure compensation dials on digital is you don't know if It's changing the gain on the sensor only, or speed of the exposure, or aperture. I believe It's just gain, really, but I don't like them on digital cameras that emulate the film experience because you're no longer specifically in control of those parameters. Always enjoy your relaxing uploads. The reel to reel was a nice throw back. I've owned a few.
yup, it does zoom if pressed. also the left top dial can set to change iso.
the exp comp dial changes shutter speed except shutter priority when it changes aperture (actually like in almost every other digital camera i ever had. never heard it has anything to do with gain tbh)
I bought that reel to reel for £10 when they were worth next to nothing - the intervening years haven't helped it though - it's developed a fault on one channel!
Yes it does and I recommend using the viewfinder to have the best view when taking photos
hi there! i have one Small correction ;)
there IS another way to change the iso on xt100. The left top dial IS CUSTOMIZABLE so it can be set to change iso like in most other X cameras. cheers :)
Thanks for the info!
@@zenography7923 no biggie :)
I could have biought this new for 179 EUR last November, but i didn't. Instead, i bought a new manual focus Lens. The good thing is for real it's looks, apperance. The bad thing is no lossless compressed RAW, and especially the small EVF, eyecup and magnification factor of this EVF. It does have a ordinary Bayer CFA, so no X-Trans Sensor. Some people are mean, trying to charge sometimes >300 EUR for just a entry level body.
It's a nice little camera for sure, but I think it's perhaps better suited to relative beginners in mirrorless photography, rather than those who've already used an x-trans camera.
@@zenography7923 exactly. For this task, it was being created.
Oh btw, you can set the top left dial to be the ISO dial.
Seems like a perfect EDC camera with a XF 27mm.
Wait, the camera remembers the zoom/focal length you left it at when you shut it off? I didn’t know that! That is very cool. And also weird, cause the X-T200 did not remember that. Had that lens when I owned the X-T200 for a few weeks.
The lower end FUJIFILM XT100 rear multi angle tilt flip screen gives the best of both worlds but but is sadly over looked on any of the reviews.
Even Fujifilm didn’t promote this in there advertising.
Check it out if you can get your hands on one it is a ingenious design if your a photographer or videographer it has to to be the best tilt-flip screen giving the best for both styles of Togs stills or video❤Fujifilm
This camera has a fantastic screen - viewable from multiple angles!
thank's sir !
I thought it seemed to me, I had xt100, I sold it and now I own an xt2, I think that xt100 performs better, but I kept telling myself that it can't .... still!
You're not wrong, it doesn't perform better! The X-T2 is technically better, better made, much more processing power, plus its images are quite a bit nicer too. The XT100 is a great entry level camera though, just doesn't have quite as much Fuji dna in its veins!
Hi! I found a used xt100 and xt10 with the same price in my country (450usd). Which is more worth it? the xt100 comes with a fujinon 16-50 lens and the xt10 with a 18-55 lens. I'm trying to find my first fujifilm camera 😁
Is there manual aperture ring on the kit lens?
How many film simulations can you save on it? Is it better than XA3?
Got this camera specially because I’m tired of the issues with x-trans sensors. But it’s so slow and annoying to use, and it lacks two card slots, so I don’t actually use it much. But in terms of sensor, I think it has a better sensor than the X-T2. It’s even better than the X-T200. That one gives shadow areas a green tint that is very ugly at high ISO.
Honestly I would love it if they stopped using x-trans. An X-T5 with a bayer sensor and the floppy screen of an X-T3 would be perfect! I mean that literally, for me that would be a perfect camera for me. Meaning the X-T2 and the X-T3 (which I use almost daily) are super close to being perfect. It’s just the sensor that holds it back a LITTLE bit.
Indeed. The incomplete camera philosophy is how they keep dangling carrots to us consumers.
Excellent presentation Nigel 👏
Many thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
What's the music video he said was shot with the camera?
Is this a good camera for make-up/beauty photography?
This camera is nice step in to the Fuji system,although image quality and feature wise it is lacking behind of X-T and certainly X-pro line.Not to mention that using top line Fujifilm lenses will not get you there in IQ department due to a sensor (non) rendition. Xtrans sensor will always render colors from the Fujifiilm lenses better due to a wider green pixel bandwidth.
I found the images nice, but those X-Trans sensors have a certain something that makes them that bit nicer, for sure!
@@zenography7923 If you use premium Fuji glass you will see delta in the files especially in color,blue and green.
I bought one, used it sporadically for about two years, but now the LCD screen on the back no longer works. All repair costs for this camera are fixed and are about 300 Euro (no matter how small the problem). Great picture quality but the camera itself is a toy. Instead of a new screen, I would prefer to buy another X-T1. You're right, the film simulations of the X-T100 are more saturated or contrasty (even Provia). I do not agree with your positive stance on the viewfinder. It's a toy viewfinder.
Howdy more tryanny for the holidays. 🙈😐💙💙
:)
@@zenography7923 happy holidays
is it a better option for XT-10 or TX-10 is better than this ?
Personally I prefer the X-T10 to this camera - the X-Trans sensor is just that bit nicer!
@@zenography7923 thanks sir for your opinion, i Love a World of photography but it's my first camera that i will buy
Does someone know how to lock the exposure during video?
use P
Use M
Use S
For landscape its much much better than the x-t1.
Uh oh. No new video on the 5th of December? I hope you’re okay.
Ah I’m finally first!
First indeed - and you have the first reply too!
🏆 now you can move to real life accomplishments

Thanks for watching! :)
Для видео камера плохая .
Я согласен, видео - не его сильная сторона, но оно лучше, чем у X-T1, да и кадры у него очень хорошие!
Anyone who says X-T100 is a good camera or even better than its brothers like X-Txx and X-Tx series need to lay off the drugs. Had the camera and it's terrible. Super slow, super unreliable focus and the focus peaking, terrible at best. Also, plasticky as hell. Not even the low price can justify the lack of features and quality.
It doesn't have the speed of the others in some situations it's true, but I think the image quality is nice.
@@zenography7923 yes, credit must be given where credit is due - quality-wise, it’s up there with the Fujifilm’s best.
@@calahad have had no problems with it
Another brilliantly informative video. Your style is akin to the late Bob Ross who was known in the States for "The Joy Of Painting". Thank you for taking your time in each episode to afford us a break from life and enjoy the art of vintage lenses and cameras. Today I enjoyed my just received ($30) Asahi Opt. Co. Super-Takumar 55mm on my
Fujifilm X-T20. All thanks to your contagiously enthusiastic approach to these amazingly crafted tubes with glass. Would you please contact me and consider being a guest on my show? Thank you so much for these amazing videos. You, sir, are a jewel in the crown of UA-cam gems, Cheers mate!
