Fujifilm introduced the X100VI camera based on X100V solutions
Fujifilm presented a new X100VI mirrorless camera model based on X100V solutions. Outwardly, it resembles its predecessor, but includes significant improvements, supporting various shooting conditions.
The X100VI will cost $1,600.
The camera received a fixed lens of 23 mm f/2, as well as a 40-megapixel sensor, which provides greater freedom of framing and flexibility of editing. In addition, Fujifilm equipped the model with built-in image stabilization (IBIS). The camera supports up to six levels of stabilization for scenarios when you need to keep the sharpness of the image at a long exposure.
The X100VI has a UHS-1 SD card slot and is equipped with the same battery as the X100V. The camera received the same electronic viewfinder and rear LCD display as its predecessor: 3.69 million and 1.62 million dots, respectively. The user can choose between optical and electronic viewfinder or their hybrid. The X100VI also offers an internal four-stop ND filter.
Fujifilm equipped the X100VI with the latest X-Processor 5, which makes the camera “almost” twice as fast as the X100V. At the same time, it provides improved autofocus, which uses proprietary algorithms to detect objects.
The X100VI will ship with 20 Fujifilm film simulations, including a Reala Ace SIM card.
The model received an aluminum shockproof case. However, the lens must be equipped with an adapter ring and a protective filter.
X100VI will be produced in China. The camera will be available in silver or black, and shipping is expected to begin in early March.
Fujifilm will also release a limited edition of the camera, which is engraved with the logo of the corporate brand since its founding in 1934. It will cost $2,000 and will receive a “unique serial number” and will be packaged in a special box with a strap and cards with Fujifilm’s history. This model will only be available by direct order from Fujifilm.
In 2023, Fujifilm introduced the GFX100 II mirrorless camera, which ditched the traditional high-grip design while providing improved autofocus speed and video capabilities. It costs $7,500.
