GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Premium Instant Photography & Creative Enthusiasts — Instax Wide Evo (2024): The premium instant camera. Wide-format prints with digital preview and 100 effects — the most capable Instax camera ever made.
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.
