Introduction
The X100VI is the latest version of Fujifilm’s now classic series of fixed focal length, premium compact cameras. It effectively replaces the four-year-old X100V model, which became something of a TikTok sensation in the last couple of years and was subsequently almost impossible to buy.
It has a 40.2 megapixel, APS-C sized, X-Trans CMOS 5 HR back-side illuminated (BSI) sensor and X-Processor 5 image processing engine which is twice as fast as the X Processor 4 found in the X100V, and an extended ISO range of 64-51,200.
This represents a big megapixel increase from the 26.1mp sensor used in the X100V. Also ISO 125, which was an extended sensitivity option on the previous model, is now available natively on the X100VI.
It is capable of recording 6.2K/30p and DCI 4K video internally at up to 60p in 4:2.2 10-bit via HDMI for up to 45 minutes. High-speed 1080/240p is also available.
A fixed 23mm f/2.0 lens offers a classic focal length of 35mm (35mm equivalent), making it an ideal camera for street photography and the like. The lens features an optical design that includes two aspherical elements for greater sharpness and clarity.
It offers the ability to focus closely at 10cm from your subject with greater sharpness when shooting wide-open, and a Super EBC coating has been applied to help suppress lens flare and ghosting.
The lens is still exactly the same size as previous lenses and is therefore still compatible with the legacy WCL/TCL conversion lenses, whilst retaining its internal 4-Stop ND filter.
It can shoot blackout-free at 20fps with continuous phase-detect auto-focus and auto-exposure when using the electronic shutter with a 1.29x crop applied and offers 15fps continuous shooting when using the mechanical shutter.
This camera has a phase-detection autofocus system which offers 117 selectable points that cover virtually the entire sensor area and it can automatically detect animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects, and drones thanks to the X-Processor 5’s AI deep learning capabilities.
Other key features include 5-axis in-body image stabilisation (IBIS) which provides up to 6 stops of compensation, the brand new Reala Ace film simulation mode, an Advanced Hybrid Viewfinder with a combined 0.52x OVF and 3.69m-dot OLED EVF, a two-way tilting 3.0-inch 1.62m-dot LCD touchscreen and a four-stop ND filter that works for both stills and video.
It can be made weather-resistant when paired with the optional AR-X100 Adapter Ring and PRF-49 weather-sealing protection ring.
The Fujifilm X100VI is available from March 2024 in either Black or Silver priced at £1599 / $1599 / €1800 for the camera body only in the UK, US and Europe respectively. It is designed and manufactured in China.
To celebrate Fujifilm’s 90th anniversary, an X100VI Limited Edition model is also available, limited to 1,934 units worldwide. These limited-edition models are individually numbered and delivered in a special box with strap, soft release button and history cards. The camera body is engraved with the original Fujifilm corporate brand logo from 1934, along with the unique serial number.
Ease of Use
 |
I first used (and bought) the original X100 camera way back in 2011, just as smartphones were getting into their all-conquering stride. Fast forward 13 years, and seemingly very little has changed with the release of the sixth-generation X100VI, at least externally.
It’s fair to say that if you’re a long-time user of the X100-series than you won’t notice too many major differences between all of the models as regards to their in size, weight or control layouts.
This new model still shares the very similar svelte, stylish retro DNA of the X100, just continuously refined by Fujifilm as they’ve worked their way through the X100, X100S, X100T, X100F, X100V and now the X100VI.
Each one has shared the same core characteristics of a large APS-C sensor and a 23mm f/2 fixed lens, and the new 2024 version is no different in either of these respects.
The roughly two-year life-span of each new X100 release was interrupted by Covid, so the X100VI is effectively replacing a 4-year-old camera.
 |
Outwardly Fujifilm have played things very safe, as you’d be hard-pressed to tell the difference between the VI and V when looking at them side-by-side from any angle.
This new version is ever so slightly deeper (by 2mm!) and it’s heavier by 43g than its predecessor, a necessary increase due to the inclusion of in-body image stabilisation (IBIS) for the very first time on an X100-series camera.
IBIS makes it easier to hand-hold the camera and still get sharp results, providing around 6 stops of compensation for both stills and video (5.5 stops when using the optical viewfinder), greatly increasing its versatility in low-light situations where its predecessor may have struggled.
The new X100VI concentrates on delivering sheer resolution and high levels of detail by utilising exactly the same 40-megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor that first made its debut in the Fuji X-series camera range with the X-H2.
This is a BSI (back-side illuminated) sensor design that has much more of a focus on detail and resolution than out-and-out speed.
It offers a big increase in resolution compared to the X100V, allowing you to crop much more aggressively than before, or to make bigger prints at similar resolutions.
 |
The X100VI offers exactly the same burst shooting rates as the X-T5 mirrorless model. They can both shoot at 20fps when using the electronic shutter with a 1.29x crop applied, and both offer the same 15fps continuous shooting speed when using the mechanical shutter.
The buffer size is 117 JPEGs or 52 compressed RAW files before the continuous shooting rate starts to slow down.
To help with capturing the precise moment, the X100VI has a clever Pre-shot burst shooting mode, with the camera constantly filling the buffer while you half-press the shutter button, and then keeping the most recent 20 frames taken 0.5-1 seconds before a full press of the shutter button, eliminating any camera and human-added delay. Note that this feature only works with the electronic shutter.
The X100VI actually has two kinds of shutter, mechanical and electronic. When using its mechanical leaf shutter, it has a top shutter-speed limit of 1/4000th second in all shooting modes.
It considerably improves the fastest shutter speed for the electronic shutter by 2.5 stops, from 1/32,000 sec on the previous generation X100V to a remarkable 1/180,000 sec on the X100VI.
This allows you to leave the aperture wide open in very bright conditions such as a sunny beach or a ski slope, or to capture a split-second motion. You can continue shooting wide-open with fast aperture lenses in the brightest of conditions without having to resort to fitting a glass ND filter or using an external flash and lights.
 |
It’s all very well being able to record at 20fps, but unless the camera can quickly, accurately and reliably focus on whatever fast-moving subject you’re trying to capture, it’s all for nothing.
Thankfully, although the new X-T5 has the same hybrid autofocus system with up to 117 selectable phase detection and and contrast detections points as its predecessor, Fujifilm have made a couple of significant improvements to make it the best X100-series AF system yet.
Chief amongst these is the inclusion of subject-based computational AI, with the X100VI being able to automatically detect animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects, and drones.
You do have to specifically choose which of those you want to track from the Subject Detection Setting menu, but you can easily register different settings to the camera’s various custom modes.
Turning this feature on resulted in a super-high hit rate in terms of auto-focusing, with the camera often able to focus on the subject before we’d even spotted it ourselves.
The improved autofocus prediction algorithm and particularly the subject detection modes help to ensure that the vast majority of your images are sharp.
 |
The 40 megapixel sensor also allows the X100VI to record 6.2K/30p video with a modest 1.23x crop recorded in 4:2:2 10-bit internally.
It supports DCI 4K/60p recording at up to 30p from the sensor’s full with or at up to 60p with a 1.14x crop, and can shoot 1080/240p slow-motion footage. It also offers the F-Log 2 profile with up to 14+ stops of dynamic range.
Combined with a compatible HDMI recording device from Atomos or Blackmagic Design, 12-bit RAW video output can be recorded as Apple ProRes RAW or Blackmagic RAW.
There’s also a digital zoom function that uses the camera’s 40.2MP sensor to deliver up to 2x of digital zoom with little to no loss in resolution when recording video in 4K.
Sadly, the the X100VI doesn’t have a Still/ Movie switch for changing between these modes, as on the X-T5 and other X-series models. Instead the Movie mode is still rather buried away at the end of the Drive menu, which has always been rather incongruous.
The camera does at least swap between dedicated in-camera menu systems when you change modes, so you don’t have to scroll through excessive video options when all you want to do is photography, and vice versa, and the menu system for both disciplines is really well laid out.
 |
A nice touch is that the front and rear control wheels can be used quietly in movie mode to make changes to exposure settings, even during capture. In conjunction with the touchscreen menu, most other key video controls such as white balance and image stabilisation can be adjusted too.
The camera is now equipped with a tracking AF function during movie recording – just tap the subject on the LCD screen and the camera will automatically keep it in focus.
Note that although its more well-appointed for video, there is still no full size HDMI port or 3.5mm headphone socket on the X100VI.
The X100VI has exactly the same 1.62M dot LCD touchscreen as its predecessor, a 2-way tilting unit that makes it easier to shoot at both waist-level and whilst holding the camera above your head.
It can now be tilted slightly further down to 45˚ and pulled slightly further away when turned upwards, but you still can’t tilt it out to the side, which would have been ideal for video use.
In order to smooth over any objections to the tilting screen, Fujifilm have gone to great lengths to effectively hide it by making an incredibly thin screen (just 4.4mm) that sits flush against the rear of the camera. Indeed, if it wasn’t for the slight indent and tab in the bottom left corner that’s used for pulling it outwards, you’d probably think that the screen was fixed in place.
 |
Another key feature of the X100 series that has been retained is the hybrid viewfinder. This long-standing feature offers a frame coverage of 95% and 0.52x magnification.
Similarly, the electronic viewfinder is the same too, being 0.5-inch in size whilst offering 3.69M dot resolution, 0.66x magnification and a refresh rate of 100fps.
Just like the model before it, the Fuji X100VI is weather-sealed, something that further adds to its versatility as a go-anywhere street camera.
There is still quite a big catch, though – whilst the camera body is fully weather-sealed out of the box, the lens isn’t, requiring the purchase and fitting of the optional PRF-49 protective filter with the AR-X100 adapter ring to fully protect it from the elements.
Fujifilm have said that they didn’t want to make the camera bigger and more expensive by making the lens weatherproof out-of-the-box. While this is commendable, having to purchase expensive accessories that make the camera bigger and heavier isn’t exactly an ideal solution for anyone who want to shoot in the rain or dusty environments.

The X100VI offers a total of 20 Film Simulation modes, including the brand new ‘REALA ACE’ mode, which makes its X-series debut on the X100VI and provides more faithful colour reproduction coupled with high-contrast tonality.
This camera features both built-in wi-fi and Bluetooth connectivity. The latter option creates a constant, low-power connection between the camera and a smartphone/tablet to transfer images and video using the Fujifilm Camera Remote smartphone app.
The former allows you to remotely control the camera via either a 2.4Ghz or 5GHz wi-fi connection using a smartphone or tablet and the Fujifilm app, and transfer images and video from one device to the other.
Battery life has been marginally improved despite using exactly the same NP-W126S battery as the X100V and the X100F, up from 350/420 frames when using the EVF/OVF to 360/450 frames on the X100VI.
The X100VI can also be powered and charged via a USB-C connection, which is useful if you’re out and about and have a compatible power-bank to plug the camera into. It uses the newer Type C standard which also allows it to be used as a port for a external headphones, using an adapter.
Rather infuriatingly, the single SD memory card slot that’s housed in the battery compartment on the bottom of the camera still only supports the slower UHS-I standard, rather than UHS-II, a surprising omission on a 2024 camera.
Image Quality
All of the sample images in this review were taken using the 40.2 megapixel Fine JPEG setting, which gives an average image size of around 18Mb.
The Fujifilm X100VI produced images of outstanding quality. It records noise-free JPEG images from ISO 64 up to ISO 3200, with a little noise at ISO 6400 and more visible noise at the faster settings of ISO 12800 and 25600 (ISO 51200 is best avoided), an amazing performance for a camera with a 40 megapixel APS-C sensor. The RAW files were also excellent, exhibiting more noise than their JPEG counterparts but still producing very usable images from ISO 64-6400.
The night photograph was excellent, with the maximum shutter speed of 30 seconds being long enough for most after-dark shots, and the Bulb mode allowing much longer exposures if required. The Dynamic Range and HDR settings subtly improve detail in the shadows and highlights, while the extensive range of Film Simulation modes hark back to a bygone era, and the Advanced Filters allow you to have a little fun with your images in-camera.

Conclusion
Thirteen years have passed since the debut of the original X100, and here we are with the launch of the 6th generation, which looks remarkably similar to all of its predecessors.
Fujifilm have certainly stuck with the tried and tested formula that has served the series so well, and who can blame them when the X100V has been one of, if not the, best selling camera of of the last two years?
To be fair to Fujifilm, they could have chosen to just sell as many X100Vs as they could produce in order to satisfy the seemingly insatiable demand that’s been fanned by social media influencers.
Instead, they’ve launched an entirely new version that is a definite improvement on the old one, whilst not rocking the boat too much so as to put off all those would-be buyers who couldn’t get hold of the X100V for love nor money.
By far the best new feature on the Mark VI model is in-body image stabilisation (IBIS), which makes the camera much more versatile in low light than its predecessor. The fact that Fujifilm’s engineers have managed to incorporate it with only a very slight increase in size and weight is the proverbial icing on the cake.
The other significant change is the incorporation of Fujifilm’s latest image sensor and processor combo, no doubt made to help keep manufacturing costs down across the camera range.
The 40 megapixel sensor offers the twin benefits of much greater resolution and 6K video, whilst the processor significantly introduces subject-recognition AF, all features previously seen on other X-series models but never featured before on the X100.
Whether you actually need bird-detection AF on a camera with a 35mm fixed focal length lens is perhaps another matter entirely, as is the fact that the video mode continues to seem like an after-thought on what is very much a stills-focused camera, and we can’t really forgive the UHS-I SD card slot on what is after all a new 2024 camera.
With a reported 1/2 million pre-orders in China alone, it’s clear that the new VI is certainly set to continue the recent enormous success of the X100-series. It may represent an evolution of the blueprint rather than a revolution, but that hardly seems to matter when just producing enough X100s of any kind seems to be the order of the day…

Review Roundup
Reviews of the Fujifilm X100VI from around the web.
Out of all the cameras that Fujifilm has produced during the past 12 years, the X100 series and the X-Pro series are the cameras that have always been my tools of the trade. I’ve seen the two lines grow more complete with every new iteration, to the point where I thought that Fujifilm couldn’t improve upon the X100V. It has been that perfect to me.

For the past few days, I’ve been testing a fashion accessory: the Fujifilm X100VI. I’d like to otherwise call it the best toy camera of 2024. To be frank, the deepest emotions within me want to label this camera as the embodiment of the word “meh.” At least, that’s the best way that I can describe the one that I’m using.

The Fujifilm X100VI, pronounced “Six”, is Fujifilm’s latest X100-series camera. The previous X100V is infamous for a multitude of reasons, notably for combining gorgeous retro styling with modern high-spec digital imaging. It’s been featured on numerous videos, gone viral on TikTok, and due to high demand, has been incredibly hard to find.
