Dave my not so trustworthy Jack Russel – he is an established sausage thief looked at me quizzically. Flipped it left, flipped it right, to the left twice, to the right twice, left right, right left, and then flipped it onto the sofa slightly frustrated. Try as I might I flipped the switch on the front of the unit to change viewfinder modes and nothing. This mode, when activated, opens up a small window inside the optical viewfinder, which shows exposure and focus confirmation all of which sounds great if I could get the thing to work. I was especially intrigued to test the new ERF, which my old X100S didn’t have.
To elaborate – On day of release I ventured home with my pre-ordered unit excited to try the camera. It will do everything you want within the limitations of its form factor, and has more features and custom settings than you can shake a stick at, yet personally I didn’t bond with it. The X100F is an outstanding camera, which I owned for six months including the period Hamish used it for his review. I had previously owned a X100S quite some time ago, so I was quite looking forward to the latest iteration.
In my endeavour to find a more analogue digital experience my first port of call led me to pre-order a Fuji X100F with the portrait teleconverter.
