Fuji industrial design is just eye-catching and excellent when it comes to looks. The X-T100 does not disappoint with its retro but chiseled look with a flippy screen that screams for a better video mode. We are fans of the Fuji cameras and are glad to see that even in this low-end entry the high frame rate video recording feature is retained. We hope to see them implement 240fps or higher in future models as their recent efforts in the X-H1 show encouraging initial results in 1080p with superb color rendering.
3" (approx. 1,040K-dot) high-resolution LCD touchscreen can be tilted 3 ways.
4K 3840 x 2160 15P, Continuous recording: up to approx. 30 min.
High Speed Movie 1280×720 120fps option 1.6x / 2x / 3.3x / 4x, Continuous recording : up to approx. 7 min.
What about Slow Motion on the X-T100?
It is clear from the get-go that the X-T100 will not be the videographers dream camera, even while it has the best tilt screen design we may have ever seen which combines the standard vari-angle display with a Sony style hinge which gives you the best of both worlds. If we had this display in a more capable video workhorse camera it would be hard to beat for vlogging.
The only 120fps slow motion sample we could find on the camera is from this excellent review below by London Camera Exchange. SlowMo Sample at 2:55:00!
The quality is not as good as we hoped for considering it takes such beautiful stills with its 24MP sensor and the trademark Fuji Film Simulation profiles. There is aliasing, moire and detail obliteration in the frame. The 1080p 60fps mode does offer far better quality so if you buy the camera opt for shooting up to that frame rate if you have quality in mind.
We are expecting Fuji to show us a 240fps sensor stabilized camera with Film simulations in video mode that can create awe-inspiring slow motion footage. The current development stage in their line makes us hopeful for that future release as we have been waiting along with several Fuji enthusiasts for the company to really push forward in video features. The X-H1 is a big step in the right direction but not more than that, we want Fuji to compete with Sony, Panasonic & Canon head to head on video mode.
The camera will be shipped on June 18th this year and Amazon has it for Pre-Order here with the 15-45mm XC Kit lens for $699.00.
