Fujifilm X100F Digital Camera, Black/Black {24.3MP}

Fujifilm X100F: the fixed-lens 35mm street camera that stuck around for good reason.

The X100F pairs a 24.3MP X-Trans CMOS III sensor with a fixed Fujinon 23mm f/2 lens, 35mm equivalent, and that combination still holds up as one of the tighter pairings in compact camera history. The X-Trans sensor arrangement skips the optical low-pass filter, and the X-Processor Pro keeps up with the file demands: 14-bit RAW output with ISO expandable to 51200. The 8-element aspherical glass design includes Super EBC coating that fights flare even when you're shooting toward a light source. The hybrid autofocus system runs 91 total points, 49 of which are phase-detection, so the camera finds focus quickly even when the light gets difficult.

The hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder is what separates this camera from anything that looks similar. Switch between OVF and EVF depending on what you need. The electronic shutter reaches 1/32000 sec, which makes shooting at f/2 in daylight a practical option than a compromise. Exposure compensation runs a full -5 to +5 EV in 1/3-stop increments. The mechanical shutter tops at 1/4000 sec, which covers the vast most real shooting situations. This is a camera built around a specific, deliberate focal length, and for photographers who work that way, the X100F remains a hard argument to walk away from.

Who It's For

Street photographers who want one focal length and no interchangeable-lens weight will find the 35mm equivalent field of view and near-silent electronic shutter to be a practical daily setup. Travel documentary shooters benefit from the compact body and the 23mm f/2 lens's minimum focus distance of 10 cm, which handles tight environmental details without switching optics. Portrait photographers who work in tight spaces and prefer a 35mm rendering over longer compression can shoot wide open with the f/2 maximum aperture and rely on the 91-point AF system for accurate placement. Film simulation shooters drawn to Fujifilm's color science get 14-bit RAW files to work from alongside in-camera JPEG processing.

FAQ

What autofocus system does the X100F use?

A hybrid setup with 91 total AF points-49 phase-detection and 42 contrast-detection-that locks focus quickly even in low light. Phase-detection points speed up acquisition; contrast-detection refines it for accuracy.

Can you shoot at f/2 in bright daylight?

Yes. The electronic shutter reaches 1/32000 sec, so f/2 at ISO 200 in full sun is straightforward. The mechanical shutter tops at 1/4000 sec if you prefer it, which still handles most daylight work without ND filtration.

What's the difference between the optical and electronic viewfinders?

The optical viewfinder shows direct light transmission through the lens with minimal lag; the electronic viewfinder displays a live feed and lets you preview exposure before you shoot. Switch between them depending on whether you want optical clarity or real-time feedback.

Does it shoot RAW, and what's the color depth?

Yes, 14-bit RAW capture via the X-Processor Pro. The X-Trans sensor arrangement has no optical low-pass filter, so you preserve maximum detail in the file.

How much does ISO push affect image quality?

Native range is ISO 200–12800. It expands to ISO 51200, which introduces visible noise but remains usable in monochrome or for web output. The X-Trans pattern handles grain differently than Bayer arrays-it reads more organic at high ISO.

Is the 23mm lens permanently attached?

Yes, it's fixed. This is not a travel zoom-it's a committed 35mm equivalent focal length. The 8-element aspherical design and Super EBC coating keep flare minimal when shooting into light sources.

What type of memory cards does it accept?

SD/SDHC/SDXC cards in a single slot. Standard compatibility with any modern SD card you already own.
