The X-T200 replaces the X-T100 and brings some welcome improvements that should attract somebody looking for their first camera. In fact I would say there isn’t a lot it lacks, if not some options that Fujifilm left out on purpose so as to avoid making it too competitive.

The X-T100 was an entry-level model designed to be a compact, affordable and approachable option for those considering an upgrade from smartphone photography.

The original Leica SL (Typ 601) was launched in 2015 and was Leica’s answer to the professional mirrorless system. It featured a premium build quality, weatherproofing, two SD card slots and a fantastic viewfinder. The price, unsurprisingly, was prohibitive and uncompetitive compared to the many mirrorless models that came after it.

Four years later, Leica has joined the L-mount alliance with Sigma and Panasonic, which gives users access to more gear and lenses for L-mount camera users. The SL2 follows the release of the Lumix S1, S1R and S1H, as well as the Sigma FP, to become the fifth full frame model using the L-mount.

It preserved the rangefinder concept of having the viewfinder on the left-hand side of the body, but featured an electronic version rather than the innovative hybrid viewfinder of the Pro model.

Over the years, the series has evolved with the same technology found on other popular Fujifilm models such as the X-T and -XTx series.
