Fujifilm X100T

The X100T is a fixed-lens mirrorless camera released in 2015. It is built around one optic rather than a lens system.

The body measures 127 x 74 x 52mm and weighs 440g, so it rides in a small bag or a large coat pocket with little fuss.

That combination suits photographers who want a single camera for daily walks and travel, without choosing between lenses or carrying extras. It rewards people who settle on one lens and prefer a light bag.

Stills come from a 16-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor paired with the EXR Processor II. That resolution leaves room for prints and moderate crops from everyday frames.

Sensitivity runs from ISO 200 to 6400, giving settings for brighter and darker scenes. A 1/4000s maximum shutter speed helps manage exposure in strong daylight.

Burst shooting reaches 6fps at its maximum, enough for a brief action moment though not a sustained run. Autofocus offers 49 points for focus placement, and the 2,360,000-dot electronic viewfinder previews the scene before you shoot.

Two constraints shape how you shoot. The lens is fixed, so there is no option to swap it for a different focal length, and you frame by moving yourself rather than reaching for a second lens. In-body stabilisation is absent, so slower handheld shutter speeds call for a steady grip or a support.

The X100T records video, and Full HD is its resolution ceiling. There is no 4K mode, so clips suit casual use, family memories and web sharing rather than large-screen production.

Its highest video frame rate is 60fps, which is enough to render everyday movement smoothly.

Footage records in the H.264 format, the video file type the camera writes. That codec concerns file storage, while resolution and frame rate are separate limits that describe the recording itself.

A timelapse function is built in, so the camera can fire frames automatically across a set period. Slow subjects such as drifting clouds or an emptying street turn into short motion sequences, and you need no separate intervalometer.

The 3-inch LCD carries 2,360,000 dots, giving a sharp view of your shots. It also flips, which helps when you frame from low angles or hold the camera overhead. There is no touch control, so you operate the camera through its buttons and dials.

Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are built in, giving the camera more than one way to connect wirelessly.

Lighting options run from a built-in flash for quick fill to support for an external flash when you want more power or direction over the light.

The body has no weather sealing, so keep it sheltered in rain and dust. GPS is absent as well, which matters if you want location data attached to travel shots.

The X100T takes SD, SDHC and SDXC cards, with UHS-I compatibility. There is a single slot, so one card holds everything from a shoot, and a spare card covers long days.

Power comes from the Lithium-Ion NP-95 battery, rated at 330 shots per charge. That rating is a specification figure rather than an all-day promise, and heavy screen or flash use can drain it faster, so a second battery is worth keeping charged.

Charging over USB is not supported, so the battery needs an external charger. Build charging into your routine before a shoot, because a power bank will not top the camera up on the road.
