What are the features of the Fujifilm X100VI?

Apart from the upgraded 40.2MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor, the Fujifilm X100VI also has an improved 6.2K/30fps video capability, 20fps continuous speed, and a fixed FUJINON 23mm f/2 lens.

The X100VI has incredible image and video capabilities. The improved 40.2MP CMOS 5 sensor captures stunning pictures, and the X-Processor 5 does an amazing job with the color science of the image. You also get an improved 20fps continuous shooting with e-shutter, letting you nail those burst shots with ease.

In terms of video capabilities, the camera is now capable of shooting at 6.2K at 30 fps and 4K at 60 fps. Moreover, fast Autofocus with AI-based subject detection paired with the five-axis IBIS are impressive, as they produce sharp images and videos.

Fujifilm's new Advanced Hybrid Viewfinder allows users to switch between different viewfinder modes, like optical and electronic. The X100VI is also the first camera in the X series to offer native Frame.io camera to cloud compatibility. You can now send images from your camera directly to the cloud, saving you the hassle of buying an additional grip.

Furthermore, the X100VI comes with 20 Film Simulation modes, each of which displays beautiful color tones and classic photographic film. It features a weather-resistant aluminum body, along with retro-looking dials at the top, where you can adjust ISO and exposure. The camera is also relatively light and portable, weighing around 521g.

The Fujifilm X100VI is expected to launch at an MSRP of $1,599.95. The Limited Edition variant is to be launched at an MSRP of $1,999.95.


Is the Fujifilm X100VI better than its predecessor?

The Fujifilm X100VI is packed with features and sees a significant improvement over its predecessor, the Fujifilm X100V, which was released back in 2020. The Fujifilm X100V was one of the best cameras in the brand's line-up.

Standard features like the improved sensor, image, and video quality, along with new improvements like IBIS, Advanced Hybrid Viewfinder, and AF with AI-based subject detection, make the X100VI remarkably better than the X100V.

There are a few elements that Fujifilm has retained, though. The most noticeable one is the camera build, which is almost identical to the X100V. The camera also retains the lithium-ion battery used in its predecessor. However, it does have a slightly longer battery life in terms of shots per charge.
