Introducing the Fuji X100VI 

Digital rev tv that use to have Kai? Wow what a shout out/ throwback

When that embargo lifts 🔥

Manny is the only RU-vidr who I sincerely believe when it comes to Fuji X100 cameras. I got the X100F cause of him and can't wait to upgrade to the X100VI this year.

I just got the V( I paid a little bit more) in the fall of 2023 and put a few hundred photos through it. Going to eventually buy the VI as back up camera. I love that I’m able to bring the V to concerts since they don’t allow detachable lens cameras. I was able to shoot a few concerts without security beefing about my V.

Just bought my first Fujifilm camera! Thanks Manny.

It’s perfect now. I wanted to love the x100v but I shot it after shooting the xh2 and couldn’t fall in love with the autofocus. I think it’s absolutely perfect now.

Great upgrades. That IBIS. According to Fujifilm, the lens, which was new for the 100V was designed to fully resolve 40mp.

Always have to come and check your camera reviews, they're the best on RU-vid.

Just ordered the minute B&H refreshed. Nerve wracking but can’t wait to take this on trips! Way better than carrying a heavy lens and full frame camera

Ended up having to return mine to BHphoto and requested an exchange due to the EVF screen being stuck. Pressing the lever did nothing. Resetting the entire camera back to factory settings did nothing. Turning the camera on and off at times only unstuck it half way so you’d be able to see out of the OVF but the black EVF screen would still remain. Super bummed, only got around 5 days use out of the camera before the issue arose. The replacement will probably take months to be issued 😢.

I wish I could afford this camera… man this looks like a perfect on the go camera. I’m jealous!

clicked this video when this was posted 28 seconds ago..geez. Thanks for sharing this Manny. We can trust you'll create magic with this camera.

I always love your videos!

Great video man!

x-t3 + 16-55 is my go to for all things street. It is on the heavy side but I love the results. The x100VI looks tempting for sure but even with all the features and smaller package, I'm not sure it would be enough to replace my trusty x-t3 rig.

Preordering soon 😎

Can't wait to see you test but please try also 1/4x converter - I wonder how 1.4x looks as 50mm eq.

Was waiting for this vid!

I’ll be upgrading from my x100v for sure, but not going to be in a hurry for it. I’m still happy with my x100v

Great review.

Will it be possible to use the same accessories with the VI that worked with the V? Like the TCL and WCL conversion lenses and grips?

How easy/quick is it to switch from photo to video? Can you save separate custom modes to make the switch easy and quick?

Came on here to check if the x100vi had been released and this was first on my recommended

Manny do you prefer black or silver

Love the video. You are one of my favorite photo channels! Did you find the build quality the same as before? They moved production from Japan to China. Also they only state the top plate being aluminum. The previous ones were top and bottom in aluminum.

I'm pretty sure when redesigning the 23mm lens a few years ago they did it with higher res sensors in mind.

Ok that was quick!

Pre ordered mine at 5am eastern time 🎉

It’s amazing Camera 📸

Haha! I totally relate to the DigitalRev TV reference. Also got my X100T from them and because Kai’s videos.

Do you know if x100vi can print directly on instax printers, specifically Link Wide?

IBIS and a bunch of filters is great but the ability to change the color in the shadows and highlights for cross processing would be a game changer - does anyone know if the software is updated for this feature?

4:44 the ND Filter built in is pretty sweet! Can you shoot the film simulation modes while doing video?

Great video

The ND is either 4 stops or nothing, so sometimes you still need some ND to maintain 180 degree shutter for video

Comparing to x100f, how much improvement on the auto focus?

The detail in the ink🔥 7:13

@Manny Ortiz do you prefer X100VI in silver or black?

How does this handle portrait bokeh? I mainly want a good travel camera, but shooting some travel portraits would also be great

I was expecting a dedicated black and white mode like the Zf, but that will require more switches or buttons.

Many show us your setting for shooting portraits

Although I appreciate the giant leaps in today's technology, I am still in love with my Fuji X-E1, I love how compact the body is (especially with my Fuji 27mm pancake lens) and I love the Fuji film simulations straight out of camera, plus have the added bonus of being able to change lenses! Like you said Manny, "if it ain't broke, why fix it?" The X-E1 may be 'old' in terms of release date and technology, but IMHO still GOLD!! I had the pleasure of shooting with an original pre-production Fuji X100T on the streets of London with nonne other than Kevin Mullins, a few years ago now, but I distinctly remember how compact, user friendly and well designed this little beauty was. If the opportunity arises again, I will test drive the new X100VI, but as an owner of 3 Fuji bodies already, I have to keep asking myself, can I justify another £1600 for a camera I may not end up shooting with a often as I should...Time will tell.

Wonder how much I can grab a V used for now.

which color do u like more silver/black ?

Oooooo built in ND filter! Now I’m actually interested 😮

I'm waiting patiently for the RX1R iii. It will take over the fixed lens market.

Is it UHS-1 like the guys from Peta Pixels?

Seems like they have given us what was needed on the x100v. If I didn't have the v I'd probably get this.

finallly i'll be ble to buy the V.

You said you had the Sony A7 II. I'm thinking of buying an A7 II second hand. What is the viewfinder of the A7 II? Would possibly like to buy it just for studio work and to use with old vintage lenses such as the Helios M42 II

I'm sorry if this a dumb question but, why call it 180° shutter rules? Why not say "2x the shutter speed" or "double it the shutter speed" ?

Damn it. I want it.

Does silver scratch easier than black ?

Does it have an interchangeable battery?

Waiting on the X-Pro 4.. The X-Pro 2 is still the best fuji camera imo

5.5 to 6-stop IBIS, 4-stop built in ND, 40.2MP X-Trans sensor alone are well worth the extra $200 retail, it is very reasonable being what people are paying for the V right now.

Ill be keeping my x100v

Which one is better to buy? Fuji X100VI or Sony a74?

Can I ask , when you have on the markets full frame cameras like the sony A7C, etc why would you pick this Fuji instead? Just to understand from your point of view assuming that price was not a deciding factor...

so @Manny Ortiz this may fit in the traditional wedding photography and video in behalf of the SONY A7 M3 / M4

can the lens resolve the sensor?

I miss your street photography

Many, does the Eye AF work good enough for photographing moving children ?

Late night video 😎🔥

Where are the Video/IBIS clips. Super bummed!

vs Nikon ZF which is better?

Manny how does it stack up against the Leica Q3?

The new x100 VI looks great, thanks for your first look and review.

Wish I could afford one haha one day!

Hey, Manny, if I buy the new X100VI, does it include gorgeous models like yours?...

Your punctures are really good 💯🔥🔥🔥

Has it got a flash

I have a V and won't be upgrading. If I didn't have a V for sure I'd get the VI. Recently got an X-E4 cause I was missing from a lot of family photos which I deem important.

Thank you for the overheating test.

Is this Fujifilm's first camera to be produced in their new Chinese Manufacturing Plant? In a way, that may be a good thing since it requires new manufacturing equipment with possibly higher quality control and specifications. Only time will tell with this new model.

Not really a necessary upgrade unless you actually intend on using it for video. The x100v has less megapixels but I've never had an issue with cropping into photos

Aside from the initial hype created by influencers who have received this camera for free plus a holiday to Japan from Fuji. Is this camera worth the asking price for what you are getting?

This is just a point and shoot for me I will never use it for video so the only thing I really care about is the new film simulations. Still deciding if a couple new film simulations is worth the extra money for an upgrade

I really like what Fuji did in a couple of years. Upgrades like IBIS and 6k seems little pointless to my liking for this type of camera. I think they added features that are not necessary. It is an everyday camera, so they should have improved build quality. I would even pay $2000 if it had brass body, better leather and more rugged buttons.

It’s really nice but moneywise I would go with canon r8 + 28mm f2.8 pancake. More less same size but full frame with possibility to change lenses. This looks great but it’s limiting.

builtin nd filter!!!!!

What rens filter?

U R VERY STRONG PERSON 💪🏼.... MOVE ON... EVERYTHING THAT INCIDENT... I AM INDIAN... 🇮🇳 I LOVE YOU FANTASTIC VIDEO... I AM SUBHAM JAGAT PHOTOGRAPHY I AM INDIAN PHOTOGRAPHER...😊

The Ricoh GR3(x) has IBIS, so I don't know why it was considered so impossible to fit in the X100VI

The Canon G7x at the time had also an ND inside :)

What a beautiful camera, cheaper and arguably better that the expensive leica Q2…packed with features including a great experience for sure.

Both sides of your pillow? 😮😮

The internal ND for video with IBIS is groundbreaking

I would get the Sony a9III over this one for sure

In regards to the size; the Ricoh griii has ND & ibis in a much smaller size

“ what’s that noise “ 😂

Why does it heat up? is it heavy weathersealed like the R5?

When you talk about the competition especially leica I want to mention that the integration of the rear screen of the Fuji is a slap in the face of leica ! …

It is hard to argue with the idea that this is a far better value than a Leica Q2 or 3. But I’d have to feel it in the hand - the Leica just feels right.

Damn Manny, i can hear the disappointment and indifference in your voice. Im gonna pass on the x100vi

It's gonna sell out like lightning. But, i still can't believe no other camera company has come out with a direct competitor to the X100 series. Back in the film days. Every manufacturer had 35mm that looked exactly like the other.... There should be Sony, Canon, Nikon all with camera's that look just like the X100. They just let Fujifilm runaway with this market

whats the difference with this and xe5

X-Pro 1, I'll never leave you..

Nice but is this version made of pot metal now as it is not made in Japan?

You get the Ricoh GR III And GR IIIX for the same money. 28 & 40 mm in a smaller body.
