Fujifilm X100VI review: the compact that everyone still wants
Add IBIS and 40MP to an already-beloved formula and it stays impossible to keep in stock. Our score: 9 / 10 At a glance Spec Detail Sensor 40MP APS-C X-Trans 5 HR Lens Fixed 23mm f/2 (35mm equivalent) Stabilisation In-body, up to ~6 stops Viewfinder Hybrid optical and electronic It did not need to reinvent anything Fujifilm added IBIS and the 40MP X-Trans 5 sensor to the sixth-generation body, kept the dials, the leaf shutter, the hybrid viewfinder and the film simulations, and the result is the most desirable fixed-lens compact on the market. The one thing to be sure about The 35mm-equivalent focal length is fixed. If you know you want to zoom, or you shoot a lot of tight portraits or wide landscapes, this is not the camera. If a single classic focal length appeals, it is close to perfect. The good and the bad What works IBIS makes it far more forgiving 40MP gives real cropping room The hybrid viewfinder and film sims are the magic Genuinely pocketable-ish What doesn’t Fixed 35mm-equivalent lens Still supply-constrained Not a low-light champion Who it’s for Buy it if you want a beautiful everyday camera that makes you want to shoot, and you like a single focal length. Skip it if you need zoom flexibility or interchangeable lenses. Alternatives worth a look Ricoh GR IIIx, smaller, pocketable, 40mm-equivalent, no viewfinder. Fujifilm X-T50, same sensor, interchangeable lenses. The verdict: A camera that makes you want to carry a camera. Just be ready to wait for one. Sources Fujifilm
