Hi Mark,

I intended to write about my own experiences with the X-T100 but then I read your review and discovered that there would not be much left to mention.

Thanks for this very unbiased and comprehensive user review. I would sign it without any remarks.

Maybe one advice regarding the dial on the top left: have customized it from the film simulation to select the focus area ; )

Cheers,

Tom

p.s.

I am shooting JPGs - nothing else and never understood why so many people try to beat their manufacturers software engineers by spending hours working with RAW developping software (OK - it has become much easier with LR recently)

Anyway - I tried to optimize your Leaf JPG and in my eyes this looks minimum as good as what you have developped from RAW

MJD, Many of us have the top left dial for iso, which I find works superb too, each to his own of course. We could/should start a tips and tricks with the X-T100 as one thing I discovered was if you hold the function button down you can then select on the hoof to switch to different functions, eg say you are set up for ae-lock, you can quickly switch to af-lock or both, very cool. I am sure Fuji could customise the buttons further if they wanted, especially the soft buttons. I am using the l-plate grip on my x-t100 which I can only recommend to everyone as it moves the camera up another level of ruggedness/size and grip with little weight gain. The tiny extra width and grip and solidity really works for the x-t100

Hi Sam,

Unfortunatelly weater here isn't inviting at all to take the camera out - so I didn`t do much `real life' testing/experience. it is simply too wet and grey since two weeks now.

Meanwhile I have changed the top left dial to select the exposure field and use the soft button to choose the focus area. Much better - although it happened more than once that I hit the AF button and the burst button by mistake. The 4 way function switch doesn't fit at all to the otherwise very solid performance and bilt of this camera.

Since I don't do any video I am hoping that the next firmware update enables the dedicated video button to get customized as well, I find it more than fiddly to push the Fn button between those wheels.

Cheers,

Tom
