GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Street, Landscape, Portrait & Documentary — X-T2 (2016): The X-T2 put Fujifilm on the map as a serious system — first X-T with 4K, dual SD, weather sealing, and fast AF that won over photographers worldwide.
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.
