I just purchased a X100VI. I went to NYC for a week of street photography. I intended to bring this camera with me. Instead I brought the LUMIX GX9 with the kit 12-60 lens. All due to weight and size. Highly recommend a L bracket and thumb rest. These items make the X100VI so comfortable to hold. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
Ill acrually be in NYC next week and doing some street photography there. I've hear some good things about the Lumix GX9, I might have to try it out. I feel like the X100VI is pretty comfortable to hold but may go for a thumb rest.
Fellow Colorado X100VI shooter here! Great review. That said, I think you might have an issue with your specific camera or with the SD card you’re using. I do not have to wait 11 seconds to switch into movie mode. Not only can I press drive mode and instantly switch to movie mode, but I also have my ael button programmed to instantly start recording by video with no issues. The only thing I don’t like about the drive mode button is it seems you HAVE to use the joystick to switch options which I find a bit annoying and wish you could just use a scroll wheel. For even more film like experience, I love using the OVF, screen completely off, and manual focus (zone) only.
Thanks for watching! I actually know a few other people who have the issue as well. It only is after shooting a burst or something like that. The joystick being the only way to switch drive modes is definitely frustrating as well. Hope you're enjoying the camera though!
@@kristopherfadeleyamoia Ahh yeah, if you're finishing a burst and waiting for the cache to clear then obviously that changes things. I LOVE this camera... for me I shoot 95% in full manual mode with screen off, OVF, manual zone focus, but I love that I can switch to EVF and autofocus if necessary, unlike a Leica... which is probably the only camera I'd get to replace it, or maybe the Xpro4 when it gets released.

Im in the same boat I think those are the only cameras I would upgrade to at this point. I also have an X-T30 so Im pretty set right now
