    You don't know how much you made my day with that Street Photography segment. I instantly close every video that starts with variations of segments like that.And that's a huuuge amount. It drives me mad, it's like everyone's just copying each other and not even making an effort. Not even commenting on the camera in question, but more straight to the point content like this (apart from the parody) is what it's getting harder and harder to find. This made me subscribe.

    So if we want to get the best quality for post video are you recommending just film in 6k?
    In fairness it’s more for photography than video but I’d like to capture some on off vid clips on a trip in a few weeks to the Far East.
    I guess my iPhone 13 Pro can do a bit too to complement the Fuji.
    Of course, if I prioritised video, I’d have got the XH2 or 2S but my main gear is all Canon so don’t want to duplicate systems.

    Gerald this has to be the BEST review of the Fujifilm X100VI. The first 4 minutes of this video expresses all of the ways I feel about people on RUclips saying this camera and it's predecessor the best camera of all-time for street, travel, and reportage photography. It's not. 🤣 Buy the X-Pro3 and call it a day.
