Following on from the retro inspired X100 and X100S comes the latest in Fuji s Flagship compact range, the Fuji Finepix X100T. Like the previous models the X100T is able to borrow from the past aesthetically, whilst firmly moving forward thanks to the latest of technological advancements. The centre of these advancements is the wonderful hybrid viewfinder, allowing for accurate rangefinder-like manual focusing in optical mode thanks to an EVF overlay. Ideal for travel and street photography, the X100T is a real joy to use.

Great camera if this style of device is suitable for you. Awesome for travel/street photography.
I have an x100 and it is wonderful, but note it is a fixed lens with no zoom, so not suitable if zooming across valleys or carrying bags full of lenses is your type of picture taking.
Basically, I think if it is right for you, you will have a little flutter of excitement just looking at the specs and image galleries (and viewfinder!).
If you are thinking about lens combinations or zoom ratios and can't understand the attraction, just move along!
