If you're unfamiliar with the X100 series then get prepared to geek out. If you already know all about it then get prepared to be blown away by the Fujifilm X100T - because it's the best X100 model yet.
The reason is simple: the X100T brings an updated viewfinder, complete with parallax correction in manual focus and what the company is calling an "electronicrangefinder" feature too. And it's utterly brilliant.
n terms of build, the X100T is the same fine example of craftsmanship as the previous X100S and original X100 models. There's not much we can say to better our previous thoughts on that - this silver-colour, magnesium alloy construction is solid in both visual and physical terms.
If, that is, you like retro styling and the old school of thought when shooting, because the X100T has manual control dials and a fixed 23mm (which is a 35mm equivalent) f/2.0 aperture lens. No zoom to be found here. That's a staple of the X100 series though and it restricts working practice in a kind of beautiful way. The quality is the same tried and tested optical performance as in its predecessors, as is the APS-C sized 16-megapixel X-Trans II CMOS sensor.
But anyway, enough of what we already know - and, if not, then check out our original X100 review - and on to the good stuff. Namely the hybrid viewfinder that merges the worlds of optical and electronic into one unit. The Fujifilm X100T has a wider-than-100-per-cent field of view optical viewfinder, so you can see subjects entering the frame before they're even in it. The edge of the frame is determined by an electronic overlay which shows up as a white border within the finder view.
