Fujifilm’s Stunningly Viral and Compact X100VI Camera is Finally Here

Introducing the Fujifilm X100VI

So much of what makes the Fujifilm X100VI appealing (to, if we’re being honest, hipsters who like this kind of stuff) is the camera’s retro styling and ergonomics. The Fujifilm X100 camera body type just feels classic and cool, and the X100VI is no different.

In its fifth iteration, the X100VI mirrorless camera features all of the timeless, compact, and touch-friendly body features, with the speed, power, and pixel count that you’ll find with its flagship APS-C sensor and processor combo.

You’ll find all of the same great film simulation modes too as the X100V1 should feature all of the best elements of Fujifilm’s cameras and their color science, making it an ideal option for shooters on the go or those looking to combine their video and photo cameras into one.

New IBIS and Better AF

At its heart, the Fujifilm X100VI is powered by a back-illuminated X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor with approximately 40.2 megapixels. The sensor has an impressive pixel structure too that should allow for light to be more efficiently captured when compared to prior X100 series cameras.

The camera is also the first camera in the X100 series to incorporate a 5-axis, IBIS function with up to 6 stops of stabilization. This should be helpful for the camera’s 6.2K at 30fps recording specs, another new high for the X100 series.

There are also some new AF tracking controls and functions as the AF will be able to track during movie recording to help ensure high-quality content creation.

As another added perk, the X100V1 also will come with an accessory-free, native camera-to-cloud integration for Adobe’s Frame.io, which will allow shooters to wireless connect any X100VI to Frame.io and automatically upload videos and photos for a cloud-based post production workflow.

Price and Availability

At a price point that fits the Fujifilm X100VI in well below a lot of its higher-than-4K mirrorless competitors, as a compact, retro camera the X100VI should prove to be quite popular either as a go-to shooter’s camera or as a small additional camera for bigger crews looking to have another option in their back pockets.
