Whereas the X-A5 is kind of an abbreviated X Series, the new X-T00 is X Series to the core.<\/p>\n<p>Best of all, it has a\u00a0consumer level price point- one that can match Nikon and Canon&#8217;s budget models. Also,\u00a0since <a href=\"http:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/the-3-main-advantages-of-mirrorless-cameras-over-dslrs\/\">Mirrorless camera actually offer some huge benefits over traditional DSLRs<\/a>,\u00a0in many ways, it&#8217;s a more powerful camera than those entry level Rebels and D3400 models.<\/p>\n<p>With a stylish, &#8220;retro&#8221; SLR style\u00a0design, the X-T100 has a nice compact body with milled metal dials, a 24.2 megapixel sensor, a 3-way tilt LCD screen wth touch\u00a0capability and\u00a0Bluetooth\u00a0connectivity, and\u00a0EVF (Electronic Viewfinder), which the X-A5 does not have.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inside, the X-100T you&#8217;ll find many\u00a0of the standard X Series Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>11 Film Simulations, including <strong>Velvia, ASTIA and Monochrome<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>All those fun Adv.

The main\u00a0differences between this model and\u00a0the higher end X Series cameras is that <strong>it has a regular CMOS sensor instead of Fuji&#8217;s X-Trans sensor<\/strong>, and it\u00a0doesn&#8217;t have the super fast X Processor Pro chip.<\/p>\n<p>In short, it won&#8217;t have the same AF speed and performance as the other models, it doesn&#8217;t\u00a0have the ACROS film sim and it doesn&#8217;t\u00a0have\u00a0as large a\u00a0buffer for shooting a\u00a0lot of\u00a0continuous frames. Also, it&#8217;s not weather sealed, but then again, neither are the X-T20 and X-E3.<\/p>\n<p>And although it does\u00a0shoot in a variety of video formats, even High Speed HD, it can only capture 4K at 15 fps.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bHowever, that\u00a0doesn&#8217;t mean that the X-T100 isn&#8217;t\u00a0a great little\u00a0camera, because it is. <strong>You still get excellent image\u00a0quality with those wonderful\u00a0Fuji colors<\/strong> and\u00a0nearly all of the\u00a0creative\u00a0capabilities that you&#8217;ll find on the other X Series\u00a0cameras. In fact, many of the settings I cover in <a class=\"validating\" href=\"http:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/master-your-fujifilm-camera-with-my-x-series-unlimited-ebook\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/master-your-fujifilm-camera-with-my-x-series-unlimited-ebook\/\">X SERIES UNLIMITED<\/a>\u00a0are totally relevant to the X-T100, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Also, not everyone is totally in love with the X-Trans sensor.<\/p>\n<p>Some software (cough&#8230; Lightroom)\u00a0hasn&#8217;t\u00a0always done an excellent job demosaicing the X-Trans RAW files, and although most programs have gotten remarkably better, some shooters would rather have a standard CMOS type sensor.<\/p>\n<p>So, there you go.<\/p>\n<h2>Who is the X-T100 For?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/search?N=0&amp;InitialSearch=yes&amp;Ntt=Fuji%20X-T100&amp;BI=5871&amp;KBID=6746&amp;KWID=DFF&amp;DFF=d50\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fujifilm.com\/products\/digital_cameras\/x\/fujifilm_x_t100\/product_views\/img\/index\/pic_additional_06.jpg\" width=\"573\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In my mind, it&#8217;s\u00a0pretty straightforward. <strong>The X-T100 is the ideal camera for someone who wants a Fuji, but\u00a0doesn&#8217;t want to\u00a0spend $900<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Starting at only\u00a0$599 for the body, or $699 with a lens, the X-T100 is a very attractive\u00a0choice for someone who might otherwise turn to a beginner DSLR, simply because they&#8217;re less expensive. This gets them in the door shooting mirrorless and opens even more people up to the true mojo of the X Series system.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/search?N=0&amp;InitialSearch=yes&amp;Ntt=Fuji%20X-T100&amp;BI=5871&amp;KBID=6746&amp;KWID=DFF&amp;DFF=d50\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fujifilm.com\/products\/digital_cameras\/x\/fujifilm_x_t100\/features\/img\/page_05\/pic_05.jpg\" width=\"407\" height=\"272\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also an\u00a0excellent backup camera if you&#8217;re already shooting one of the higher end models.
