Fujifilm X100T review
Launch price $1,299 · 16.3 MP X-Trans II sensor · 1080p 60p video
Added Classic Chrome, a 1/32000s electronic shutter and an electronic rangefinder.
Verdict
The Fujifilm X100T was the third-gen X100 that added Classic Chrome, a 1/32000s electronic shutter, and an electronic rangefinder, on the 16.3 MP X-Trans II sensor. Discontinued, 1080p/60, no IBIS.
This is for the used-market X100 fan who wants Classic Chrome and a fast electronic shutter.
In detail
I have been meaning to revisit the older X100s for a while. The Fujifilm X100T came out in 2014 at $1,299, no longer in production. Third generation of Fuji's fixed-lens compact, with Classic Chrome, a 1/32000s electronic shutter, and the electronic rangefinder for fine-tuning focus in the OVF.
At 16.3 MP on the X-Trans II sensor, native ISO 200 to 6400, modest by modern standards. Autofocus is a hybrid phase/contrast system with face detection. Burst at 6 fps is conservative.
1080p is the cap, so this is a stills-first body. You can grab clips, but do not expect it to replace a dedicated video camera.
Light, plastic-heavy in places. No in-body stabilization, so for low light you will lean on stabilized XF glass. At 440 g it sits in the comfortable middle. Bottom line: the used market is where this camera makes the most sense now that it is discontinued.
Pros and cons
What we like
- First X100 with Classic Chrome
- 1/32000s electronic shutter
- Electronic rangefinder for focus
- Hybrid OVF and EVF combined
The headline win is that this is the first X100 with Classic Chrome, which is the film sim people still chase on older bodies. The X-Trans color science is hard to beat out of camera. The 1/32000s electronic shutter is a real tool for shooting wide open in bright sun, and the electronic rangefinder makes manual focus usable. 5 film simulations including Classic Chrome cover the classic Fuji look.
Trade-offs
- Discontinued, 1080p video only
- No IBIS, no weather sealing
The honest trade-off is that it is discontinued and tops out at 1080p video. No in-body stabilization means relying on stabilized lenses for low light. Burst rate is conservative, fine for portraits, street, and landscape but rules out serious sports work. The 2.36M-dot EVF is on the lower-resolution side. Single card slot is the kind of spec that does not matter until the day it does.
Who is this for
Used-market X100 fans who want Classic Chrome and a fast electronic shutter. Light enough that it makes a great second body or a daily-carry option. Street, travel, and everyday-carry photographers tend to fall in love with this format. The 1/32000s shutter is a quiet strength if you shoot wide open in daylight.
