The Fujifilm FinePix X100 was initially shown at the Photokina show in September 2010 and was subsequently introduced in February 2011.

[9] The combination of APS-C sized CMOS sensor, EXR processor and 23mm (35 mm equivalent) fast aperture lens was also a first.

[14] Digital Photography Review gave it a score of 75% and a silver award, noting that it "combines excellent image quality, solid build and a superb viewfinder with somewhat sluggish and quirky operation", adding that "It's been much improved by multiple firmware updates since its initial incarnation, and despite its flaws, is now a very likeable camera indeed.".

Announced in January 2013,[8] it is a model similar to the X100 yet addressing some of the issues that the X100 had, and resembles it superficially, but with internal changes.

[28] It is visually very similar to the X100S, and shares many of its core specifications (including its lens and sensor), but features numerous iterative refinements and enhancements.

Digital Photography Review gave it a score of 83% and a gold award, calling it "a true photographers' camera".

[39] It features a redesigned lens, a fourth generation X-Trans sensor, a 2-way tilting rear LCD screen, and partial weather resistance.

With its redesigned lens system, it was found to exhibit less distortion than the previous X100 cameras and has an improved close focus performance.

[40] [39][41] The X100V is a well received camera, being praised for its updated sensor that offers good noise performance and fast readout as well as its highly tunable JPEG engine that reduces noise very well producing good detail.

Digital Photography Review gave it a score of 86% and a gold award, calling it "the most capable prime-lens compact camera, ever".
