Fujifilm released the X-T1 in 2014. It was the company’s first DSLR-style mirrorless camera, complimenting the rangefinder-style X-Pro1. Its center-mounted electronic viewfinder was one of the best in the business, and image quality was remarkable for the time thanks to its X-Trans sensor. It had plenty of style and produced gorgeous results, but it was also plagued by subpar autofocus performance and a video mode that felt tacked on at the last minute.Two years later, the Fujifilm X-T2 would arrive to patch over all of the X-T1’s splitting seams and propel the X Series forward as a modern, competent camera system.But the new X-T100 is a harsh reminder of the Fujifilm of the X-T1 days. It’s a brand new model in the X-T line, bringing the style and form factor -- more or less -- of the X-T2 and X-T20 to a lower price point. But in many ways, it puts style over substance, its meticulous design lacking the refined performance of those higher-end models. The X-T100 is geared toward the beginner end of the photographer spectrum, but subpar performance in key areas like autofocus speed means it may struggle to reach this demographic, where ease of use is paramount. It’s as if the lessons Fujifilm learned in the years after the X-T1 have been forgotten.Still, what the X-T100 lacks in performance it makes up for with superb image quality and an attractive and durable design with engaging controls. It is a digital camera for the analog age and encourages a methodical, slower approach to photography. Likewise, it won’t appeal to everyone, but it may just be the prefect fit in the right hands.SUBSCRIBE FOR THE LATEST VIDEOShttp://bit.ly/DTYouTubeSubVISIT DIGITAL TRENDS http://www.digitaltrends.com/DT Series---Awesome Tech you can't buy Yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0Lkq...Innovators: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NMa2...Connect my Crib: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8nNy...FOLLOW US!https://www.facebook.com/digitaltrendshttps://twitter.com/digitaltrendshttps://www.instagram.com/digitaltrendshttps://plus.google.com/ digitaltrend...
