How to find the shutter count on a X100-series camera? The X100-series of cameras is particular in the sense that Fujifilm provides access to the actuation count via the operating menu (menu > setup > user setting > shutter count).

WiFi capabilitiesThe X100s does not have WiFi but it does support Eye Fi memory cards for easy wireless transfer of images to your computer.
The Fujifilm system outperforms the Nikon both optically and as far as the sensor is concerned, but the sensor comparison isn't realistic, since the Nikon is a much older model.
FujiFilm charges more for lenses (than Canon) because they can. FujiFilm has a near monopoly on X-mount lenses. Other options include cheap manual lenses and expensive Zeiss lenses. Image quality of FujiFilm lenses is nearly guaranteed to be very good.
The Fujifilm X100F has a sturdy, beautiful, retro-style body reminiscent of my film camera, plus it has manual ISO dial and film filters, providing both the aesthetic, and in some ways, the functionality, of shooting on film. The Fujifilm X100F is the perfect digital camera for film lovers.
The camera got more wet than I ever wanted it to. The X100F survived all of this. It works 100% perfectly fine as if it never got wet. If you shoot in particularly rough conditions, be sure to have weather sealed gear or else you risk ruining your camera.
Those who often work in inclement weather conditions should be aware that the X100F is not at all weather-sealed. The X-Pro2, on the other hand, is completely weather-sealed against dust, moisture and temperatures down to -10°C. It is most effective when combined with XF lenses that are also weather-sealed.
But even then, I have never been as excited about a camera as I've been about the X100F. The X100F not only has my favorite angle of view, 35mm equivalent, but it also has two optional conversion lenses. With these two lenses, the X100F can shoot at 28mm and 50mm equivalent angles of view.
Worth the upgrade? If you're not a current X100 owner and are looking at buying one of these two cameras, go ahead and get the X100V. The cost difference is just $100 at the time of writing, and that seems well worth it for the improved lens, sensor, build quality, and other new features.
Like previous versions of the X100 camera, including its direct predecessor, the X100F, the new Fujifilm X100V is designed for street photography and photojournalism. With the new X100V, Fuji continues with a rangefinder-like camera body and controls that appeal to the days of shooting 35mm film.
The X100F's fixed 23mm f/2 ASPH lens and APS-C sensor do the same thing as a LEICA 35mm f/2 SUMMICRON-M ASPH does on the LEICA M10, and shot in the X100F's square crop mode, the 23mm lens has the same picture shape and angle as a 6 × 6cm Hasselblad with its classic 80mm f/2.8 Zeiss Planar!
The one on the X100F has a slightly smaller magnification of 0.5x and a frame coverage of 92%. The electronic viewfinder is larger (0.5-in vs 0.48-in), has more resolution (3.69M vs 2.36M dots), a slightly larger magnification (0.66x vs 0.65x on the X100F) and a faster refresh rate of 100fps.
Coming from a crop-sensor DSLR, the viewfinder on the X100 is a pleasure to use. It's much larger, and the information overlays are extremely useful.
