Fujifilm X100VI

N Nathan Darma Nathan Darma · reviewer · Aug 2025

Purchasing this camera wasn't an option for me as I only recently bought a Fujifilm X100VI (which I am obsessed with), but I was browsing one of the online camera stores here in Australia (Digital Camera Warehouse) and saw that they were advertising their latest photography competition. I knew they often ran monthly competitions, I've just never entered any.

The Fujifilm X100 line are insanely popular cameras and they are fantastic fun to use. But I don't think they're actually the easiest camera systems to get started and get shooting with, even if you're a really experienced photographer.

Spitz also highlights details like the excellent image quality, the joy of using the manual dials, and the surprising durability when paired with the optional filter-and-hood combo for weather-sealing. The camera’s compact size makes it easy to carry for family trips, hikes, or personal projects without the burden of professional gear.

And I love that they maintained the same look, size, and functionality like the leaf shutter, the built-in flash, the flip-up screen across the entire X100 lineup. Some extra features worth noting is they did manage to fit IBIS into this camera. This allows the camera to shoot at much slower shutter speeds and still get a sharp shot, and it also makes the video a lot more stable.

It’s a fantastic tool for catching unpredictable moments, but it generates a sudden burst of data. While an ultra-expensive UHS-II card won’t clear the buffer any faster (because of the camera’s UHS-I slot limit), using a high-quality V30 card ensures that the buffer flushes exactly as fast as the camera’s internal hardware allows.

I love the color theory. I used to be a Sony guy and so just the recipes are one of those things that really blew my mind and the support that you get from the community.

I use my Fujifilm X100VI constantly — it’s one of my most-used cameras. But when I saw the OM System OM-3 with its compact design and the option to pair it with the updated 17mm f/1.8 II, my curiosity got the better of me. Could the OM-3 replicate the way I use the X100VI when paired with the OM Systems 17mm f/1.

It's a beautiful camera. I'm very excited to spend the weekend testing it out using all the film simulations and also testing the video quality as well. I used to shoot a lot of film photography in middle school and high school and I love developing film. But now with the Fujifilm X100VI, there's a lot of film simulations on here.

The addition of 6-stop IBIS to the X100 series is transformative. Previous models struggled in low light with the f/2 limit - now you can shoot at 1/4 second handheld and get sharp results. For night street photography and dimly lit interiors, this is massive.

It's genuinely sharp lens that pairs really well with the 40 MP sensor. I was coming from a 26 MP on my previous Fuji setup, and I noticed the difference immediately. I can crop like 50% of an image and still have a fully useful high resolution file. Which, when you're shooting streets or travel photography, and can't always get close as you want, that's a really useful thing to have with you.

The Fujifilm is much smaller, “pocketable” if you have a purse or a jacket. And the Ricoh’s entire size is smaller than just the body of the Fuji, smaller than many phones (but still 2.5x thicker), the only truly pocketable of the three.

This camera is 40 megapixels, has really great quality, and it's just basically a point and shoot. What's up, y'all? We're currently in Costa Rica right now, and for Christmas, I got myself the Fujifilm X100V. This is a camera I've been wanting to have for the longest, probably since it came out. I wanted the Fujifilm 5, but I got the Fujifilm 6 because it came out about a year ago.

N Nathan Darma Nathan Darma · reviewer · May 2025

When it arrived I was instantly in love with the overall aesthetics and feel of the camera. It felt nostalgic, yet modern, but also so compact that it doesn't stand out as a "professional camera" which was a big plus for me.

C Caleb Smith Caleb Smith · 414 subscribers · Dec 2025

The photos that this thing takes are insane. And it's not just because of the 40 megapixel sensor. It is because of that film look that is built in to the camera. The camera comes with 14 film simulations. And you can take that one step further and create your own versions of film like Portra 400, Kodochrome 64, that kind of vibe.

E Engadget Igor Bonifacic · reviewer · Aug 2025

But for most people, I think that's a fair tradeoff, especially when the X100VI also offers IBIS, an articulating screen, an optical viewfinder and Fujifilm's excellent color simulations.

If I were to choose between the X-E5 and XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR combo or the X100VI as a standalone option, not considering the need for other lenses, I would pick the X100VI .

B Boomset Hannah Collins · reviewer · Feb 2026

This camera fits the travel category because it stays compact, starts fast, and delivers consistent results without setup delays or lens changes.

M Macfilos Mike Evans · reviewer · Sept 2025

But I really do love the X100VI, and my experience with the RF has shown that I can have almost everything I wish, but in the smaller package.

A Andre Pel Andre Pel · reviewer · Nov 2025

It’s been nearly two years since I upgraded from the Fujifilm x100v to the VI, and I think I’ve learned a lot from it.

O overkill.wtf Article

And no camera has ever sparked as much joy as the Fujifilm X100VI I bought two months ago.

T The Cotswold Photographer David Fleet · reviewer · Aug 2025

Yes — in my opinion, the Fujifilm X100VI is absolutely worth the hype.

It’s such a fabulous camera. If you can get your hands on one, do it.

This time I went for the black, and I think I prefer it.

B Bhphotovideo Trenisha Rated · reviewer

Love this camera!

It’s a great camera, if you know what it’s good for. I think a lot of people that buy the camera don’t understand what it’s all about, and then they get upset by its rather obvious limitations. If you want a camera for everyday, documentary, and travel purposes, it’s great. If you want a camera that gives you a lot of flexibility in terms of angle of view and so forth, then it’s not for you.

R Rick Bebbington Rick Bebbington · 60.2K subscribers · Mar 2026

So, is this camera over hyped? Yes, but also no. Is it overpriced? Yes, but also no. Are there better cameras out there? Yes, absolutely. But, it also depends.

Overall, it seems like this X100VI is a little softer than my X100V. I don’t know if the X100V has some more baked-in sharpness or if it’s just a copy-to-copy variation. The contrast is a little higher on the X100V, though, so maybe that’s what I’m seeing. Again, I took multiple shots of this board with AF-S, so I don’t think it’s an autofocus issue. I consistently got the same results.

A Adam Black Adam Black · 2.7K subscribers · Jan 2026

I've used it for nearly a year and yeah, I love a lot about it, but I am still selling it. And the reason isn't because it's bad. It's because of how it fits or doesn't fit my way of shooting. The X1006 or the X100VI as it's not known even though the previous model was an X1005.

F FM Forums Article

The camera is utterly attractive. But that initial "feel good" goes away and leaves you with a camera that is not bad, but also not really excellent (AF being one weak spot). Then the limitations of a fixed lens start showing. It took me two X100V and three X100VI to finally get cured. Now very happy with the X-E5. And I guess that is the camera that many X100 folks are turning to.

F Fstoppers Article · Mar 2026

For a camera built around speed and simplicity, 40 megapixels can feel excessive. The files are larger than they need to be. Storage fills up faster. The lens itself hasn’t changed, so you’re not suddenly unlocking medium format levels of detail. If anything, it can slow you down when this camera is supposed to remove friction.

A Alik Griffin Article · Nov 2024

The tighter grain and detail are nice, and the autofocus has some improvements. Still, the battery life is worse because of the IBIS system and JPG processing of 41MP images (if you use those effects), and the image quality of the X100V was probably already good enough.

P Photography Talk Clive Winters · reviewer · Jul 2026

In contrast, photographers who need reach or a backup body will find the single 35mm-equivalent view limiting. For those buyers, an interchangeable-lens Fujifilm body with two small primes solves more problems.

D Dpreview Article

That said, if I had to choose one of the two cameras, without doubt it would be the XT5 for its focal length flexibility and a little 23f2. But the X100 series is fun to use!

K Kevin Mullins Photography The Old Bear · reviewer

If you want a single, silent everyday camera with an optical viewfinder and built-in ND, yes. If you want flexibility and to save money, the X-E5 route is better.

Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful and very capable but it's also frustrating and limiting. That said, oh the joy of not taking a rucksack full of stuff!

T The Arts Office Austin Hayes · reviewer · Oct 2025

While the camera is compact, its battery life can be a drawback, requiring frequent recharges during extended shooting sessions.

T ThruMyLens Article · Aug 2025

On the flip side, you really do have a lot of customization and control with this camera. But professional tool? No.

No camera is perfect, and a few things I flagged on day one are still worth knowing:

But these are minor quibbles in what is otherwise a remarkably well-rounded package.

I LOVE the compact “take everywhere” feel of the X100VI

liar with at this point.  But before this camera, I owned the X100F,   sold it, bought the X100V when it came out, sold  it, then bought it again and kept it until the   X100VI came out. I always love the idea of the  small everyday camera with manual retro inpired   dials similar to my film cameras, and that was  about as deep as I thought about i
