Fujifilm FinePix X100 In-Depth Review: Digital Photography Review

In amongst all the cameras announced at Photokina 2010 - including enthusiast SLRs such as the Nikon D7000, Canon EOS 60D, Pentax K-5 and Sigma SD1 - one utterly unexpected model stole the show. Fujifilm unveiled the FinePix X100, a compact camera with an SLR-size APS-C sensor and traditional analogue control dials, that hides ground-breaking technology inside a retro-styled body with looks to die for. It's the company's first camera with a large, APS-C sensor aimed at professionals and advanced amateurs since the S5 Pro DSLR of 2006.
This video is shot using -0.7 EV exposure compensation and autofocus. In quick succession it demonstrates 'gain down' to apply exposure compensation after recording starts, a refocus cycle, and finally operational noise from the shutter button stopping recording.
This video was shot handheld, and demonstrates the abilities of the X100's inbuilt stereo microphone in an echoey enclosed environment.
Shot handheld in bright light.
This clip gives an indication of the X100's continuous autofocus on a moving subject, shot using the 3x zoom mode
This demonstrates the X100's video quality with detailed subjects (note moire in some areas) and moving subjects. The camera was panned slowly on a tripod while recording.
