ABOVE The X100T’s larger sensor helps to ensure a top ISO performance. The native range is ISO 200 to 6400 and available in JPEG and Raw formats. Expansion to ISO 100 and 12,800 upwards means there’s the JPEG option only.

The verdict If you’ve never owned an X-series camera before and have the X100T on your radar, I have one piece of advice: buy one. Don’t moan about what it doesn’t have, instead celebrate what it offers and tailor your photography accordingly – your pictures will improve. If you already have an X100S, your decision is more tricky. Consider carefully whether the additions will be of benefit to your picture-taking. Personally, I’m not convinced there’s enough to warrant a swap. 23/25 Has all that it needs, but some will bemoan lack of tilting/touchscreen LCD PERFORMANCE 23/25 AF good, not infallible. Image quality is exceptional HANDLING 22/25 Design changes generally positive, but multiple Function buttons can confuse (me) VALUE FOR MONEY 24/25 Not cheap, but what price would you put on revolutionising the way you take pictures? FUJIFILMX100T FEATURES

OVERALL

92/100

A flawed genius, but aren’t they all?

PROS Superb image quality, better functionality, innovative features CONS Flaky Wi-Fi, fixed LCD, ERF ‘ghosting’

ABOVE Auto white-balance performance from the X100T is generally sound. Here’s a mixed light scene (tungsten and daylight) and the camera coped pretty well.
