I'm NOT Buying the FUJI X100VI

I got to try one the other day & compared it to the previous model. It’s good but doesn’t warrant replacing the previous one.

I absolutely love this video! I have an X100VI on back order (because I caved to the marketing I’m ashamed to say) and in the meantime I’m using my X100V. I’m considering canceling my order for the X100VI because as great a camera as it is, it seems to have become more of a hybrid stills/video camera, and I like the X100V because it is more of the digital version of the rangefinder film camera experience, which is why I like it. If I want IBIS and 40+ megapixels, I’ll use my X-T5. None of my Fujica rangefinders had IBIS or any of the modern aids, and I appreciate that my X100V is a digital version of these amazing cameras. We’ll see what happens. Thanks for a very thoughtful video.

Why the hate on the video features?? It's been a hybrid since they added video features on the previous models. Are they supposed to just limit the video specs to the mark 5? It almost sounds like sour grapes when I see (non owners) of the mark 6 complaining about new video capabilities.

x100vi is just another tik-tok camera

I sold a few of my lenses and brought the VI, if I had the v I would not bother upgrading yet so I agree with you but for me its nice to have a compact camera that I can carry around everywhere with me. I think you have made the right decision, wait for the next upgrade from the vi.

I cancelled my pre-order for an X100VI. I decided I had been carried away by the hype and might be too old to take images when it finally arrived . After watching numerous YouTube previews I decided that I wasn't taken in by all the excitement. I don't or rarely shoot video. I do street photography. Right now my street/travel camera is an older Canon EOS M5. Yes, Fuji has more resolution, faster autofocus, film simulations, better image stabilization etc. But, the Canon has interchangeable lenses. I have the 22mm prime lens so I can shoot that focal length if I want to. If I don't want to, I have a selection of other lenses. A final point, at 40MP the Fuji sensor has more resolution than the Canon. However, the Fuji's internal 50 and 70mm crop reduces that to as little as 10MP. With the Canon lenses I get the 24MP resolution no matter what focal length I choose.

I'll buy it cause if I'm paying that much for a camera it's gonna be new at msrp not used for it's original msrp. I can wait, buying from resellers is what morons do.

Not buying this junk even at half price.

The wait could be upto 3 years

Where is this hood and filter from? :]

Tell us what should we buy GFX 100

Why ?? What should we buy sony no way stick to fuji only

The video complain part sounds very sony lover weighted haha. For the price, 4k 60p, and 6k? GIVE IT TO US. SONY DO BETTER

Well, if they can sell Pope's shit in a can…. Pre-ordered…Re-ordered too. This new piece of crap will be easier to sell.

hate these click bait titles. otherwise great video.

Hi Lizzie, thank you for this great video! When I was watching the video, I was wondering whether you have a black mist filter on your lens?

I preordered it at BH and I cancelled it and bought a used Sony a7r IV with 1k shutter count for $2K. If you compare both cameras it's not even close. Fuji is overhyped and not worth the money

I'm also keeping my X100v. I took it with me last month to Lisbon and really enjoyed using it there. No point in getting rid of something I really like.

Or you can get the real thing. Leica M and call it a day. No more caring about silly cameras.

2024 quality lens? The lens was updated with V and resolves the new sensor fine. Interchangeable systems don’t get new lenses with each iteration

LOL probiotics

Is that the Fuji…Fujiyama?

Princess Blah Blah.

I have an x-t1 and an x-h1 I just don't have the need for a fixed lens camera ( I can put a prime on either of those).

I think it makes sense if you have a x100v to think if you want to buy the VI. If you wanted a V but couldn't get one, then it makes more sense to get the VI.

Your video quality looks so great, if you don't mind me asking what lens are you using in this video?

I’d rather buy a 2nd hand Leica Q2

But can we talk about bear?! HOW GOOD

I found a second hand X100V at 1250€ with still 1 year warranty. I think I'll just cancel my X100VI pre-order 🙂

I have a X-E2 with the 27 mm 2,8 R WR and it's perfect !

All the sheep who bought into the hype of buying an overpriced x100v trying to justify not upgrading. I mean, why would you upgrade… you already got scammed the first time and fell for it.

IO don't understand why anyone would buy a newly released camera these days. Also, 40mp on an APS-C sensor is a negative, not a positive.
(excuse the pun)

If you can just get your hands on one? You can,you just need to buy one.

next weeks video.. why I bought the Fuji X100vi

hmmm just waisted 12 mins of my life I won't get back, nothing new here

Thank you right on the money with this. Such a relief from the ridiculous hype around the VI. I’m a `fuji shooter, I love them. I have a T and a V, love them BUT the hype around the VI is nauseating & sycophantic. For me IBIS is of no interest to me for my use case the only reason I can see it’s useful is because of the increased noise in low light of 40MP which you don’t get on the 26MP sensor. If I need that many pixels or even more I’d go full frame or medium format as 26MP seems to be a sweet spot for CSC’s.
Video specs who is REALLY going to shoot video with this type of camera.
Thanks Lizzie.

I'm holding on to my V . It just hit Legendary status by being the last assembled in Japan 100 camera

Are Leica M film cameras full frame? I’m confused as they don’t have a sensor. How does it compare to X100VI ? Which has more full frame?
