Don't Fall For The X100VI 

Thank you so much for supporting my channel! Here are the presets used throughout this video: www.thehunterhart.com/presets/hunter-hart-preset-pack

"Why you don't need it". NICE TRY trying to make us cancel our orders so you can get yours earlier. I HOPE YOU HAVE TO WAIT 6 MONTNS.

Im an xt3 user before and sold it to buy the a7iv due to the accuracy af of sony full frame for my professional work. but now the x100vi released, i preorder it and just waiting it to arrived. the color reproduction of fuji made me come back.its just phenomenal!!!

Buying a used X100V is more money than getting a new X100VI. Best the feature of the VI is that you can actually order one. Great video, thanks for sharing.

The benefit to the 40 megapixel is cropping in camera to get a true 20MP 50mm shot and a 10mp 70mm shot. I would not care about the higher megapixels on a interchangeable lens, but on the fixed lens it really makes this camera much more versatile.

Well said. Not to mention the X100V was made in Japan and the VI in China. We've already seen a bit of a difference in quality control from these manufacturing differences with Fujifilm. If anything, it's time to pick up an X100V again now that the market is coming back to earth.

Great video Hunter and I said pretty much the same things in my x100 VI video I would’ve been far more impressed with the 26 megapixel stack sensor from the X H2 S because the faster read out speed in the better low light performance if they had couple that with the ibis, they would’ve had a grand slam

I loved the X100F. Took it to Siciliy with my wife. Congrats to your video, the photos you took with the X100V are stunning as always.

I have the 100VI and love everything about it, I had sold my 100V back in the Fall for an awesome price knowing that the six would be out this year...I'm happy with the 40mp as I can crop some without issues and thankfully it doesn't have more video features, and this is a photographer's camera. I agree the ND filter is super nice and the fact it's a real ND filter and not software makes it even better

It's rarely about needing, it's about wanting.

so glad i found your page. just bought the vi, sold the v a few years ago, much regrets on that. cant wait to learn from your style

Great video, thanks! I really love it when people show more beautiful samples and less of their talking head / b-rolls:)

Enjoyed your video! Great images too! Appreciate your candid tone. I had an earlier X100 camera but the focus was soo spotty, so sold it. I have preordered this new because of the improved AF and Ibis. Agree with 40 mega pixels is more than needed.

That hard drive line was a personal attack 😅

So fun the HYPE around this camera. Many people think it is because everybody wants to shoot with the X100VI. I have been traveling in Thailand for only 10 days now. I already met 3 people that bought the X100VI. Nobody for shooting them self, but only for selling to a higher price later. My only digital gear are Fujifilm, but I think they are not really doing much good the last couple of years by developing cameras that focus on photography. They are on the hype for people just want everything going faster, more pixels but 95 % only have there picture on social media. So fun to see

I had a V for about a year and a half up until early last year. Had to sell it for financial reasons, but would have kept it if I could. The launch of the VI coincided perfectly with my finances getting back in order, so I went onto Facebook Marketplace and found a like-new V at a much more sensible price (compared to the crazy "hype pricing"). I also own an X-H2 with some lenses, so I already have access to the 40mp sensor and find it better suited to that camera and for what I use it for (though all purely for hobbyist photography). The V remains my favourite camera of all time and I have no intention of ever selling this one.

It's simple, the X100 line and the Leica Q line are direct competitors. Previously, the only reason to own a Q3 was that the higher megapixels helped you retain resolution when cropping in. Now that the X100VI can do the same and has better OIS, the Q3 is a completely redundant tool.

40 is not overkill. Pixels for pixel sake is not about enlarging. It’s about lack of AA filter, better tone gradations, correcting keystone distortions after the fact, slight re-compositions later too. And hard drives have never been cheaper per GB than they are now.

Holy fucking shit! My man!!! You just pushed up the price again for the V! Those photos have blown my mind. You got skills and I don’t where you live but the light there is like heaven. Congrats 🙌🏿

I need a how to take pictures like Hunter series. Incredible as always!

Thanks for your comments. Very helpful and your photos are great!

You can still shoot at 26MP

I have to agree, if you have a V no point really upgrading. The V is an amazing camera, has more than enough MP and renders images amazingly. Somethings nagging me though to upgrade though….maybe all the hype and GAS kicking in lol. Will stick with the V for now.

First of all great video! I'm happy my photo made a cameo appearance. I had the x100f and I loved it. I think a 40 megapixel is more useful than you would think especially if you're cropping your photo after the fact. It's also a nice little flex for Fuji to align themselves with the Leica Q series

Hunter! This rocks. Love your photos - a true inspiration on what’s possible!!!!!!

Your photography is absolutely beautiful and creative. Subscribed.

This vindicated for me the fact that I'm super happy with my x100v. For hobby-est photographers (--> me) 24mp is plenty, and I'm not looking to store huge files. IBIS has just not been an issue for me. Honestly you're one of those photographers where I see your images and I just think, okay, it's not the camera. It encourages me to keep working on my skills. Because we have the same camera and...my photos don't look anything like your photos! Thanks for a great video.

I hate the increase in mp but the IBIS is worth the trade off for me.

I rented the V a couple of years ago just to see if the hype was worth it. I didn’t even wait the entire seven days to keep it. It went back on day three. Still trying to understand why it’s so popular.

1:11 No way, the heat buildup would be insane. Record times of 90 secs or something. The heat countdown would feel like a mission impossible bomb scene!

Yes!! Thank you! Dual card slots. Even a micro SD I would use this as my main camera at weddings. Even a slightly thicker camera wouldn't be an issue. Everyone was calling me crazy for wanting dual card slots. With the 40mp I could have used it as a 50mm (ff equiv) as well as the 35mm (ff equiv). Then I only need a tele and a super wide and you're good to go. The macro feature for close up detail shots. Leaf shutter for flash work in the daytime. Please Fuji Dual card slot. Professionals would flock to it.

Fuji X100VI is simply the BEST of all of the X100 series. I have one, and I know, and no, I didn't get because of 40mp... It is so much more than that.

Solid video. The 40 megapixels is definitely a lot and I’m crossing my fingers that I can have some kind of workaround for that. Overall, I’m looking forward to taking a break from my Sony cameras haha

Bought the X100VI with the money I got from selling my X100V and still have $200 left. So price wise I actually fell for the VI 😊. I do agree with this video, I always liked the image quality of X100S more than the X100V.

Nice review and very nice samples, you're a great "practicing photographer"; I enjoy your journalist - like flavor on some photos. That being said, i really think your channel deserves way more viewers. Cheers mate.

Hunter! Huge fan of your work and are one of my favorite photographers! Fun question, you can only choose one camera to shoot the rest of your life, the Leica Q1 or the x100v. Which is it gonna be? 😏

Interesting perspective, Hunter! Really appreciate the transparency. Nice info in this :) 👏

Your advice makes a lot of sense to me, for my photography uses. I think I'll keep my XPro3, and wait for the XPro4.....of course the same advice might apply to the XPro4. We shall see! ;)

I think it is filmed with many frames, it seems fast forward 🎞. Love your photos!

Ignoring this video because I do NEED it.

Hi, great video may I ask what make the green neck strap is? Thank you

I’m so tired of hobbyist photographers not comprehending the need for a dual card slot, people use these x100 cameras for a lot of professional work and the need for dual card slots is very much needed especially when fujifilm is charging $1600 for it

neither dual card slor nor internal memory is a priority for me. :)

No matter what Fuji brings out it’s obvious that you can’t people all the time. I am still waiting for mine - looking forward eventually to getting it. Interesting review though.

they don't put 40Mpx because the camera needs it but because the sensor is developed and available ... it's simpler to put the same sensor in the whole line ... but i agree 40mpx is a lot ... perhaps too much

For cropping

Great Video

Amazing photos!

why not get the x-s10 or 20 for your small video package? Thanks for the video!

what flash you're using for overpowering the sun with x100v?

Where did you get the rope strap?

Some people spend 8k on a camera to "slow down"...All Fujifilm has to do is put 40MP sensor in this camera to slow YOU down ;-) More Pixel = better noise reduction (in post).

Sorry to sound harsh, but honestly I feel the resolution point is just parroted without much thoughts. You can change the resolution in the settings… it’s as simple as that.

Hey this may seem random but Does the button on your evf/ovf lever feel loose to you? Also does it spin around? I just got my x100vi and can’t find anyone else with one to compare it to.

Damn you, Hunter! ❤

I don't need this camera. It's like I don't need a second car, I don't need a bigger and a smaller iPad, and I don't need two phones etc etc. I just want this as a toy sitting right next to my Sonys

You’re wrong about the aperture not closing on Sony etc … if you’re in manual and change aperture, you can see it ^^

I had the 100V and sell it to buy the 100VI, cuz the IBIS is a big yes for me.

The tears are real.

We don’t need it, but we WANT it! Damn you fomo

I see me!!

you don't need this hype camera. i ve seen people resell this for obscene amount on marketplace ... it's ridiculous

Nice camera! 🧐😆

Hi. What filter with orange color ring is on the fuji x100vi? Thanks

x100v gang 🤝

What is the real point of talking about a camera that you have not used yet and then spend the more than 50% of the video about the previous model(s) that have already been covered by so many??? Just create a buzz, become a sticky tape for flies? ;o) Let us face it this video is a waste of time for everyone involved. If the X100 series is so good (again, more than 50% of the video) then why the title? The X100-6 (VI) is just its latest iteration, with 40 Mp (that at least allow croppers to crop but also knowing the camera has got a fixed 23 mm lens 40 Mp can palliate that limitation for some). The difference in price is just a fraction of the total price and offers a new sensor (which is not just more pixel but improved technology) and two major steps I can think of and that makes upgrading reasonable: stabilisation (also welcome with 40 Mp) and better processor which may have some positive consequence on the auto-focus of the X100-5 (none of the X100 generations have really impressed me in that respect). As for the one-SDX-card slot, so fa it has always been the case, nothing new here. Just add it to your wish-list and send it to Fuji that may answer you they want to keep the camera compact and adding stabilisation was more important on many levels than a second slot. Except for the increased pixel count that you have a problem with (without having used the camera, may I remind ourselves of that fact)-and I would be curious to see compare a billboard shot with a 2 Mp camera and one with a 40 Mp one-all the qualities you mention are on the X100-6 plus IBIS (stabilisation) and faster processor, where is the problem? All the more as there is a demand for X100 models (and why not for a 40 Mp one with stabilisation and faster processor/AF?). Just thinking aloud here I guess.

Great post. Curious what fuji camera you would recommend if you think 40 mp sensor is over kill. I currently have the xt2. Very happy with it.but just looking aheadI.curious your thoughts.

Missed the mark or not - will sell like hot cakes.

And some how pro film photographers didn’t have dual film cartridges. 😂 This obsession two sd cart slots is a bit silly.

i dont need it as i am broke and i cannot affod the x100vi

Megapixels for crops brah

Leic Q or fuji x100vi? From an IQ perspective?

I feel like there is no going down to the x100v lol coz nobody can seem to find them

You don't need a dual card slot in 2024. The tech so so good now. It'll never fail. Also any pro - wedding photog is carrying two bodies on themselves.

You should try Leica M11 + 35mm APO much much better experience than X100VI

does it tend to get warm like V ?

Of course you don't need it but it's very much wanted....jog on.

sony is king

Let's flip the question and ask, "why pay $1500 for a used x100v today, when you can pay $1600 for a x100VI when it's in stock?"

2MP for a billboard? You gotta be kidding.

If money is not a concern then Sonys A7cr is a much better option.

Oh I definitely DO need it.

The obsession with dual cards is bit ridiculous in my opinion. In reality when have you had a card fail for if it is the camera a dual card will save you. Just buy a high quality large capacity card. I been using digital cameras since 2008 and never had a card failure or a camera.🤗

1.44 PR

2 megapixels..bullsh..t lol ...Dual card slot..meh never had a card fail. No one wants video we can shoot video on a smartphone lol 😮 The Xt5 sensor is amazing and it gives you the ability to crop. If they Just went 26mp no one would buy it. It will be a great camera the x100vi

I just canceled my order 🤦🏻‍♂️

Bro definitely just bought a secondhand x100v for 1800,-

Hunter and his gf scammed me of selling their presets..
