Forget megapixels, for ultimate quality it's all about the size of your sensor – and the X100S is one high-end compact that sizes up nicely

You might think you know all about this Leica-alike, but the pumped S version promises a real performance step-up from the original X100. In particular, the improved focusing speed and updated 16.3MP APS-C sensor are what Fujifilm hopes will keep competitors at bay.
That said, it hasn't fixed what wasn't broke, keeping the 35mm-equivalent f/2 lens, array of manual controls and hybrid viewfinder that impressed us so much on the X100. It also retains the retro looks and solid-but-lightweight (at 445g) magnesium build.

Verdict:
Fast, feature-packed and fun – the FinePix X100S is the finest compact around
