X100VI, Black

Got one to try, as per headline don’t believe the hype. The most overhyped and overpriced camera on the market. The sensor is pretty OK and high megapixels is good for cropping. Colours are nice enough. But my, the autofocus is absolutely abysmal, so bad that it regularly misses focus. Compared to my Sony camera it makes using the camera a very poor proposition. Give the camera to someone else to take a photo, and you will have a 25% chance of a blurred photo, with them not knowing that the joystick needs adjusting etc to get it in focus. I even turned off continual autofocus and had it on single shot myself to get more reliability. I am an experienced camera operator with a YouTube channel that is mildly popular (I can only do about a dozen videos for it a year due to work commitments) with a few million views. It’s a £900 camera, overhyped and it seems that Fuji are great at getting influencers and YouTubers to promote their products and limit supply. Genius marketing. Ask yourself why a camera made in China can hardly be bought anywhere and is supply being held back / limited to keep FOMO going?

Great camera with great features

The Fujifilm X100VI has quickly become my favorite everyday carry camera. I absolutely love the feature set Fujifilm packed into such a compact body. The 40.2MP sensor delivers outstanding image quality, the 5-axis in-body image stabilization (up to 6 stops) is a huge upgrade, and having 6.2K video in a camera this small is genuinely impressive. It’s powerful without feeling bulky, which makes it easy to take everywhere. The camera arrived very well-packaged, which immediately gave a good first impression and showed attention to detail. Once I started using it, I was especially surprised by how effective the built-in ND filter is—it’s far more useful than I expected and has become something I use regularly. The film simulations are another standout feature; they’re fantastic straight out of camera and make shooting incredibly fun and creative without needing much post-processing. There are a few downsides worth mentioning. The autofocus can be very inconsistent at times, which unfortunately seems to be typical for Fuji cameras. It works well enough most of the time, but it’s not always reliable. Also, the shutter button feels a bit soft and lacks the firm, tactile feedback I prefer. Lastly, I would have loved it if the rear screen tilted in the same way as the Fujifilm X-T series cameras, as that design is more flexible for certain shooting angles. That said, none of these issues outweigh the strengths of this camera. The image quality, features, size, and overall shooting experience make the X100VI an outstanding choice. I absolutely recommend it as an everyday carry camera and have no regrets purchasing it. If you can find one, at non-scalper pricing, it is a great value and I suggest picking one up.

I've owned a few cameras from fujifilm so i'll be speaking of this review from a hobbyist photographer's perspective that's owned those cameras. At hand, the camera is still remarkably lighter than an X-Pro3 with a pancake lens such as a XF27mm f/2.8 WR. Build quality for my copy is good. Very solid feel to it, though i've seen issues with quality control on the net, I've never reached out to fujifilm, personally, so can't speak to their service. The things that stands out in this version of the X100 for me is the IBIS (in body image stabilization) and image sensor capable of getting solid photos up to 12800 ISO (that food photo I'm accompanying in this review had aperture set to f/5). Being able to shoot handheld in low lighting situations is lovely for a camera this small and it's bonkers how rich the photo looks with that sensitivity. The user interface is solid. I love the refinements done when compared from my X-Pro3. Custom functions can be set for film recipes and what not, but only the custom functions where you create them pop up, making it easier to cycle through your choices. It's a smart refinement. It feels like the image transfer and phone app integrations have generally improved for me, too, and I can transfer my photos on the fly from my camera to my phone to share quickly. I still run into situations where I need to force restart my app, but overall functional. All the other things I want to glow about with this review can probably be comparable to those that looked at X100V (and other fujifilm camera) reviews so I won't really go there. Great lens, leaf shutter, fuji's color science, analog aesthetic, generally good build, etc. Only marks I'd go against this is its battery life and lack of weather sealing. I imagine the battery can be lengthened with turning off the IBIS from continuous to shooting only or off (it feels like my battery lasts longer on the X-Pro3). Weather sealing can be fixed by picking up filter ring adapter and sticking a UV filter or protector glass on it (which i did). Overall, this is a lovely camera to handle and is great for street, travel, and personal photography. It's a very unassuming camera that takes beautiful pictures. ====== Photo setting info of attached photos (images are JPEG only straight out of camera, no adjustments through adobe lightroom): Top Down Ferry Shot with Long Exposure of Water Streaming: f/16, 1/3 sec, ISO L64, built-in ND Filter ON, IBIS on continuous.
