I love using my xt20 as a walk around but I’ve been intrigued by the 100 series cameras. While I don’t wanna pay the retail price for the latest one, I’m considering picking up an older model. Is it worth it? Thanks.

I bought the X100S when it first came out, skipped the T and then bought the X100F when it came out.

I really like the X100 series and the X100S is a great camera and, yes, an S today is as good as when they were first introduced and that is very, very good.

When it comes to the actual image quality, there really isn't much difference (if any) between it and the newer cameras

Anyway, long story short, the X100S is a very good camera and I don't think you'd have any regrets about buying one.

One other thing I think people tend to ignore about the X100 series cameras is that even though they're best known for street photography they make excellent indoor cameras and I use them a lot for indoor photography in both natural light and with a flash.

X100S

X100F

They're great cameras and even though they aren't right for everyone I think the X100S and several other "older" model cameras are still excellent.

(the word older is in quotation because cameras like the X100S aren't really that old.)
