Fujifilm X100 vs X100T: full comparison

The X100T leads on more headline specs, but the X100 counters on price and size.

Not sure which one fits? Take the Fujifilm camera quiz and we will score both bodies against your answers.

The short version

The Fujifilm X100 and Fujifilm X100T are both Fujifilm X100 bodies. The X100T is the newer of the two, arriving in 2014. At launch the X100 was 1,199 USD and the X100T 1,299 USD, 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 X100T 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 X100T is the smarter buy. And the X100 costs less — 1,199 USD at launch.
