Other buttons include the Q menu button where you can find shortcuts to your favourite settings, the playback button, delete button, and display/back button.Īround the body of the X-T20 you’ll find eight customisable function buttons – one Fn button on top, four buttons on the rear pad as mentioned above, the AEL/AFL buttons on the rear and the rear command dial that can be pressed like a button. On the X-T100 the four buttons are labelled while the X-T20’s have been left blank, probably because they are customisable. On the rear you’ll find a four-way pad on both cameras. The shutter release button on top is flat on the X-T100 and threaded on the X-T20, which allows you to attach a soft button. There is a command dial on the rear but unlike the X-T20, there isn’t a second one out front.Īs a side note, I’d be happy if Fujifilm came up with an alternative solution to the command dials on both cameras, as they are quite small and fiddly compared to every other dial. The X-T100 doesn’t have any dials specifically dedicated to shutter speed or exposure compensation but it does have a PSAM mode dial complete with Auto and Scene modes, as well as a customisable dial and a command dial on top.
Changes to the aperture value can be made via the aperture ring on applicable XF lenses or the command dials on the front/rear. Beside the shutter speed dial is an Auto switch, whereas the drive dial is flanked by the flash switch. The X-T20 has dedicated shutter speed and exposure compensation dials, in addition to a drive dial on the opposite side.
Sadly neither has a headphone input.Įxternal controls are an important part of Fujifilm’s ethos, and it suffices to say there are plenty on both cameras. Within the battery compartment, you’ll find a single UHS-I compliant SD card slot whereas on the side, there is a micro USB 2.0 terminal, HDMI output (Type D) and 2.5mm mini jack for remotes or microphones for which you’ll need a 2.5-3.5mm adapter cable. The X-T20 has magnesium alloy top and bottom plates whereas the X-T100’s top plate is made of anodised aluminium. Neither camera has any sort of weather sealing, which is the result of their predominantly plastic construction. I used the camera without the grip for a couple of hours just to see how it felt, but ended up reattaching the grip for the rest of my testing period as it significantly improves the handling. In fact, the X-T100 is completely flat unless you screw on the detachable grip which comes in the box. The largest lens I used on the two cameras during my testing period was the XF 80mm f/2.8 macro which wasn’t particularly comfortable for more than an hour of consecutive shooting.Īnother reason big lenses don’t suit these cameras well is because neither has a particularly large grip. That being said, both are very compact and portable, and therefore tend to suit small primes better than telephoto lenses. You can see the exact measurements below: The design is where we find the smallest number of differences but let’s start here anyway.ĭespite being a step below the X-T20 in the X-T hierarchy, the X-T100 is the bigger and heavier model of the two.

Let’s begin!Įthics statement: We purchased the X-T20 for long-term review and comparison purposes, whereas the X-T100 was loaned to us for three weeks. Their outward appearance certainly isn’t enough to go on, so we’ll have to dig deeper below the surface to uncover all the main differences. Given that the latter can be found for cheaper than its original retail price these days, it is logical to wonder how the two cameras compare. There is another camera within the X-T range however that bears an uncanny resemblance to the X-T100 and that’s the two-year-old X-T20. The X-T100 is the company’s least expensive interchangeable lens camera in the X-T series, and it comes with a feature usually reserved for the more expensive models: a built-in electronic viewfinder. If you’re a beginner on a budget but find yourself spellbound by the retro-styled mirrorless cameras that inundate the market, Fujifilm might have the solution for you.
