iFixit has published a complete teardown of the Fujifilm X100T. If you’ve ever wanted to see the guts of the $1,099 camera, here’s your chance to have a peek without spending 2 to 4 hours and putting your camera at risk.

The guide by Christian Johansen shows how the camera can be disassembled into its basic components. Fujifilm didn’t make it super easy: it’s rated as a “difficult” teardown.

You start off by peeling off the skin of the camera.
