The Leica X1 was unique, both modern and retro, with its APS-C sensor and manual gestalt. Fujifilm, always one for venturing from the market norms—from its Super CCD sensors all the way back to its reduction optics system in its first digital SLRs—Fujifilm has followed Leica with its own APS-C retro shooter, the FinePix X100. The Fujifilm camera has a faster lens as well as integrated viewfinders—both optical and electronic—at the obvious cost of extra bulk. How the two compare against each other appears to have stirred much debate on the Web, with some favouring the X100's cheaper price tag (and in-built viewfinders) while others prefer the seeming simplicity of the X1.
