The X100 series from Fujifilm has long been featured some of the most popular cameras in the industry, known for their quirky but capable design and features and unique user experience. The X100VI is here, and it brings with it a huge range of improvements and new features. This excellent video review takes a look at the new model and the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in practice.
Coming to you from Alex Barrera, this awesome review takes a look at the new Fujifilm X100VI camera. The X100VI iterates on the already highly refined fifth generation model by adding a new high-resolution 40-megapixel sensor and built-in image stabilization to complement that extra detail-gathering power, making it an even more powerful and versatile option for travel, street, portrait, and landscape photographers, all while maintaining that compact profile and unique but functional design the camera is known for.
In particular, users will likely appreciate that addition of IBIS, allowing them to use the X100VI in all the more situations as a complete solution without sacrificing the convenience of the camera by lugging around a tripod. Add in the extra resolution and the further refinements to the platform, and it looks like Fujifilm has another winner on their hands. Check out the video above for Barrera's full thoughts on the camera.
I stopped watching when he said that the camera doesn't produce clinic sharp images:)
He's right though. On occasion, I do get an odd softness and very noticeable ghosting/chromatic aberrations. Especially when focusing close on full f/2 aperture.
It's an APS-C camera with fixed prime lens of decent but not spectacular quality.
It looks cool. This matters to some people.
It's size is maybe an unnoticeable amount larger than a Sony a6k.
It's autofocus system needs a firmware update - that's not unreasonable, it's new.
It lacks decent weather sealing. Most camera's in the same price range are properly sealed.
It has IBIS, matching or exceeding other cameras in the same price range.
The price is what they can get for it. I couldn't say if it is worth that price, but they could probably have added $500 and still sold as many.
I would never buy this camera, but that's because I have different needs - not because the camera is bad.
So I don't know. I read the reviews and articles on this because while I'm not currently a Fujifilm owner, I do like their cameras. It seems to me that most people would be better off with one of their interchangeable lens cameras - mostly because it would be easier to get and might even cost less.
