The Fujica DL-100 is a camera from Fuji. It was introduced by Fuji in 1983. The design of the camera was designed by Italian industrial designer Mario Bellini. The housing is made of plastic. The 35mm camera was also offered under the name "Fuji Auto Ace" in Japan. This model should not be confused with the Fujifilm DL-100 from 2002.

The lens of the Fujica DL-100 cannot be replaced. It has a fixed focal length of 38 mm and no zoom. The print "Fujinon f:2.8 f=38mm" is attached around the lens. The lens is focused by autofocus. The close-up limit is 90 cm.

An exposure meter has been installed in the Fujica DL-100. The built-in flash provides enough light. Depending on the sensitivity, the power can reach up to 6 meters.
