GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Landscape, Travel & Street Photography At Medium Format Quality — GFX 100RF (2025): The world's first medium format compact — 102MP, 28mm, and all 20 Fujifilm film simulations in a fixed-lens body.
Street & Travel — X100S (2013): The X100S was the moment the X100 series became legendary. Dramatically faster phase-detect AF, X-Trans II image quality, Fujifilm's film simulations, and the iconic hybrid viewfinder in a pocketable fixed-lens body — the blueprint every subsequent X100 has built on. A brilliant used-market buy for street and travel photographers who want the Fujifilm experience at an accessible price.
