    Weather Sealing

    Fujifilm X100F doesn't have any environmental sealings on its body so you got to be extra careful to protect it against water and dust. If you shoot under these conditions very often, consider checking Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing page.

    Fujifilm X100F Sensor and Photography Features

    Fujifilm X100F has a 24.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS X-TRANS III sensor and features X-Processor Pro processor. You can shoot at maximum resolution of 6000 x 4000 pixels with aspect ratios of 1:1, 3:2 and 16:9. X100F has a native ISO range of 200 - 12800 which can be boosted to 100-51200 and it can save files in RAW format which gives you a wider room for post processing.

    Fujifilm X100F is not the highest resolution APS-C camera. Canon M6 MII with its 33.0MP sensor is leading in this class. Check the comparison of Fujifilm X100F vs Canon M6 MII or take a look at Highest resolution Compact cameras list.

    Anti-Aliasing Filter

    Another important feature about Fujifilm X100F's sensor is the lack of anti-alias (Low-pass) filter. Removing anti-aliasing filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but on the other side it also increases the chance of moire occurring in certain scenes.

    Let's look at how the size of the Fujifilm X100F's APS-C sensor compares with other standard sensor sizes.

    Fujifilm X100F Lens

    Fujifilm X100F features a 35 mm F2.0 Prime lens. This prime lens makes X100F a specialized camera. You compromise the flexibility of a zoom in order to enjoy the high image quality and unique rendering of this fast lens.

    Fujifilm X100F LCD and Viewfinder

    Fujifilm X100F has a Fixed Type 3" LCD screen with a resolution of 1,040k dots. Both the screen size and the screen resolution is up to the standards of this class.



    Fujifilm X100F back view and LCD

    X100F has a built-in Electronic and Optical (tunnel) viewfinder, making it easier to shoot in direct sunlight and in other situations where it might be difficult to view the LCD monitor. The viewfinder has a resolution of 2,360kdots and coverage of 92%. 92% coverage means that what you see in your viewfinder while shooting will slightly be different from the actual image. The magnification ratio of the viewfinder is 0.5x (35mm equivalent).

    Fujifilm X100F Connectivity, Storage and Battery

    Fujifilm X100F features built-in wireless (Wi-Fi) connectivity ( 802.11b/g/n with smartphone control) which lets you transfer your photos directly to compatible devices without any physical connection.One other feature that we like is the ability to use our smartphone as a remote to control our X100F. You can change camera settings, release shutter, view LCD screen and tranfer files using remote control app.

    You can connect X100F to compatible devices via its HDMI port or USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/sec) port.

    Battery

    Fujifilm X100F is powered by battery which provides a shooting life of 390 according to CIPA standards. Considering that the average battery life of Large Sensor Compact type cameras is 303 shots, Fujifilm X100F has a good battery life for its class.
