Fujifilm X100 VI Review: What's All the HYPE About?!

-

The Fujifilm X100 VI is by far the most popular compact camera in the world, so Chris, Jordan and Jaron brought THREE of them to the streets of San Francisco to see how they perform. Does this camera deserve all the hype?

Amazing that you managed to obtain 1/3 of the worlds fuji X100 VI inventory to produce this video

At 250k subscribers, Chris ought to do an entire episode shooting 35mm.

The slander is outrageous.

I imagine it can be difficult, but it's so nice to have the three of you on the same review video, I'd love to have more content like this.

Thanks so much for actually shooting the whole segment on the camera you're reviewing. The static handheld video with IBIS looks great. As this is such a popular camera, it would be a good opportunity to review smaller gimbals with it for more active/walking video.

The whole podcast crew out in the wild, always a treat. Informative review as always. Personally, I managed to jump on the hype train early on release day and scored a silver one. Fun camera and it’s just really nice to look at. I guess it takes photos too, but mostly it’s just nice to look at

Chris reminds us 7 times that he hates 35mm focal length 😂

Cracking review on location, some really interesting street shots - and nice to have Jaron join you!

It’s great to see three guys together in a video……now i understand the auto based pod cast…..

[LMNDZ]

Loved this episode - Really like the contrast of the many test shots between the two of you - worked really well - now I want a new Camera... THANKS for that!....

I was on Madeira with my x100 vi, amazing quality of pictures

[markkitaoka]

I live in SF and have used the X100s since 2006. This week I used the VI for production shooting in place of one of my 1DXs which is what I use. It worked so well.

I love the X100VI, close to being the perfect camera for casual daily snaps.

[kennychan]

I LITERALLY placed my pre-order after seeing the PetaPixel's first impression video in my feed...I think that was around Feb 20th? I'm still waiting for B &H to fulfill my order. I'm hoping I can get the camera by July.

[markaustin]

I've been waiting for this review....live vicariously through Chris and Jordan While I wait for my pre-order (are you listening "Fuji Canada & The Camera Store"?)!!!

[thatRyzzle]

I've just recently bought the predecessor from a 2nd hand online store, and I'm so looking forward to holding it in my hand and playing around with it, until my pre-ordered X100vi arrives in, what, 6 months(?). World is crazy.

Chris, you sold it to me, I had x100f in covid pandemic days and sold it with a big upset. So, next to my Canon EOS R10 now a X100 VI sits, very happy with both.

Great review. Had mine (in black) since its UK release on 28 Feb 24. My first x100 series. Really enjoying it, including taking it to Switzerland for skiing, city visits, family days out and hiking. I have the WCL too, not sure the TCL used case for me is yet made. Thanks for your views. Oh, and I subscribed so looking forward to you fulfilling your challenge!

Loving my X1006 - coming from an original, then a T, then an F and a V it really is an amazing evolution. Oh and I exclusively shoot plain analogue OVF.
