Whats the Purpose of the X100VI?
The answer is not TikTok, by the way.
X100VI has 20 built-in Film Simulation modes and enjoy a new creative opportunity with REALA ACE. Featuring Fujifilm’s latest X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor and X-Processor 5, you can create 40.2MP images or video up to 6.2K/30P, sharing them in the moment or cherishing them for the future.
Thats why I was initially drawn to the X100T in 2015.
That “style” being a fixed, non-removable, lens.
Its similar to smartphones in this way.

The phone lenses are integrated and cant be switched out for a different one.
TheGoogle Pixel 8even adds generative AI into the mix.
Its because phones still dont match the quality of images the X100VI can produce.

The X100VI is very much a pro-sumer gadget.
So, I think the most important question is not, how good is the X100VI?
Specifically, the first two are the most tempting updates that may tempt X100V owners.

The camera still features a 23mm (35mm equivalent) focal length.
The higher resolution, however, affords it a little bit of reach by cropping in.
Turn the focus ring to get a 50mm or 70mm equivalent shot.

Improved stabilization was an invisible improvement because of the five-axis sensor-shift IBIS.
Thats the whole point, though.
Is the X100VI Better Than an iPhone 15 Pro?
Tyler Hayes / How-To Geek
That might not be true forever, but it’s still true today.
While focusing on the image quality aspect, I was struck by the more obvious observation, however.
Dedicated cameras are still as fiddly as ever.

This is a product you will need to consult the manual for.
The collection of photos is meant to showcase the different film simulations in different scenarios.
These are jpegs directly off the camera and unedited.
I used the video function enough to verify its quality, but I don’t generally shoot much video.
In a pinch, I will still likely pick my iPhone 15 Pro for video because of its convenience.
If you do need a little bit more, however, the X100VI can do it.
I found the videos to be sharp overall.
A microphone input and an HDMI out port enhance the experience.
If you are video-curious, I would recommend looking at Sony.
Fujifilm has recently updated itsX appto sand off some rough edges.
Transferring photos to my phone using the app was a constant exercise in patience.
Occasionally, my phone wouldnt switch over, so I would need to connect to it again.
I could import images directly into the Photos app much faster than trying to do it wirelessly.
you’re free to’t share a photo you take the moment you snap it.
Should You Buy the Fujifilm X100VI?
TheFujifilm X100VIis very much for photography hobbyists and professionals of some sort.
And trust me, the photos from this dedicated camera can absolutely capture more emotion under the right circumstances.
The small-ish size of the X100VI is a powerful tool for a creative jot down of person.
