camera review: fujifilm finepix x100

this is my bf’s fujifilm finepix x100. 

basically a $1300 point and shoot. i’ve been testing the waters with it.

this leica-esque camera is in pretty high demand amongst newbies and seasoned photographers, so i took it for a spin.

pros:

• light weight unlike the common DSLR but delivers quality photos. (if you’re wondering about the quality, i took my anniversary photo with it)
• high ISO options allow for low-light shooting
• low-enough aperture (a fixed 2.0)
• user friendly
• aesthetically pleasing (reminiscent of the nikon fe-2 i started shooting with)

cons:

• no interchangeable lens (fixed 23mm)
• aperture isn’t low enough for me (i prefer 1.8 or below)
• manual focus is rigid, auto focus is slow

as you can see from this list, there are more pros than cons. and my bf is absolutely in love with it, but i personally think i would stick with my DSLR and my 50mm.
