Fujifilm X100F Camera: Review & Comparison to the Fuji X100T

The two most important improvements to the Fujifilm X100F over the X100T are the new sensor and focus system.

Fuji states the X100F has a faster startup time (0.5 seconds), a faster shooting interval (0.2 seconds) and faster shutter release time lag (0.01 seconds).

Nikon also removed the optical low-pass filter (OLPF), which results in a higher effective resolution than filtered 24MP sensors.
