Fujifilm X100 vs X100S
The X100S leads on more headline specs, but the X100 counters on price and size.
The short version
The Fujifilm X100 and Fujifilm X100S are both Fujifilm X100 bodies. The X100S is the newer of the two, arriving in 2013. At launch the X100 was $1,199 and the X100S $1,299, making the X100 the more affordable of the two.
The X100 doesn't win any of the headline spec categories outright. Its case is price, size, and how it feels in your hand, not the numbers.
The X100S isn't far behind. It hits back with 16.3 MP of resolution, 6 fps continuous shooting, and 1080p/60p video, with a couple more edges beyond that.
So which one? If you want the more capable all-rounder, get the X100. If 16.3 MP of resolution is closer to what you actually need, the X100S is the smarter buy. And the X100 costs less — $1,199 at launch.
Where the X100 wins
