It also made what is considered to be one of the first "affordable" professional digital cameras, the Fujix DS-300, in 1997 (photo). In cooperation with Nikon, Fujifilm made the first digital SLR cameras, announced in 1995 (the 1.3 megapixel Nikon E2/E2s aka Fujifilm DS-505/DS-515). In many cases, smaller is better.įor the record, Fujifilm is no stranger to innovative, high quality digital cameras. For personal work, I often find myself carrying the LX5 (in addition to my iPhone), leaving the big, bulky Nikon bodies (D300, D3, etc.) at home. My latest purchase was a Panasonic LX5, a high quality compact camera with an impressively sharp Leica lens. 35mm film bodies, medium format cameras, compact cameras, vintage Nikon rangefinders, early digital models (including the first professional Kodak and Nikon cameras), the latest and greatest professional DSLRs, iPhones - you name it. Personally, I've tested and worked with a wide range of cameras over the past 25 years. But for others, including passionate amateurs and working professionals, the X100 is truly an exciting camera. For many people, an inexpensive DSLR or a do-it-all compact camera will be a much better choice. Let me start by saying that the X100 is not a camera for everyone. I may update and expand the article later. The following is not meant to be a comprehensive review, but rather my own first impressions of the Fujifilm X100. I won't repeat a bunch of technical data here. But despite, or perhaps because of these limitations, the X100 has already become a modern cult classic. And it's relatively expensive, considering the competition. Surprising since the X100 is a unique, one of a kind camera. Despite a few minor issues, most reviews are surprisingly positive. Most things have been written and said about the Fujifilm X100 already.
