GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
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.
Street, Documentary & Photographic Purists — M11-D (2024): A rangefinder with no screen — 60MP, manual focus, total presence. The most focused camera ever made.
