Continuing their very busy year, Fujifilm recently released the X-T100 X Series interchangeable lens camera. The X-T100 features stylish SLR-like body design, a 24.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, a built-in 2.36M-dot electronic viewfinder, 3-inch tilting touchscreen, hybrid autofocus and 4K UHD video recording for just under $600.
During my hands-on time with the X-T100, the camera's image quality impressed me a lot. The camera produces very nice JPEG images straight from the camera, but also delivers flexible RAW files which offer a good amount of detail throughout much of its native ISO range.

Image quality is certainly the X-T100's greatest strength. What about its weaknesses? Autofocus performance is underwhelming, and the camera feels quite sluggish in real-world use. The user interface could use refinement, and the touted 4K UHD video recording is capped at only 15 frames per second, which borders on unusable.
