The X100VI will be my first X100 series camera. I preordered one from a camera store in Louisville, KY after the announcement on Feb 20. The camera sounds good to me as it is. It will be like having the modern advanced version of my Canon SureShot fixed 38mm lens point and shoot film camera from the 1980s. I used to keep that camera in my car under the front seat in case I wanted to take a picture wherever I was. It held up in the summer heat in the south. I don't know how well the X100VI will hold up storing it in my car, though.
Welcome back Booray! Im not upgrading. I've had my V less than a yr, am a hobbyist and still acclimating to the Fuji system (menus, film sims, etc.) vs Nikon. When I find I NEED ibis, larger sensor, better auto focus, I'll upgrade, otherwise I'll continue to love the V. And, there was no doubt that you're upgrading. I'm actually surprised you didn't get a preproduction model to review..... but you were a bit busy. As always, thanks for your honest perspective.
I'm in the same boat. I have a shelf full of Nikon but I wanted something smaller and the `~V does it.`Only had it a few months and am getting used to the Fuji system. I love what I have and dont see the need to upgrade
I like to update to VI. Because the fixed lens I need the 40mp sensor for cropping to 50 and 70mm focal length. Also, I am getting old and my hands are not that steady as before. The IBIS really helps.
Welcome Booray! Looking forward to your next video. I hope that the introduction of the X100VI allows me to get on an older X100( either F or V) at a good price. Fuji cameras are insanely priced right now on online stores, evwn aome very old models. Its crazy!
My guess is X100 bodies are going to crater in price. Some X100V owners are going to sell to offset the price for the VI. Fuji is going to produce X100VIs so the supple will increase. The price of new bodies will be lower than a three year old V. Dive! Dive! I ordered a X100VI from B&H at 9AM EST. I don’t have the V. The 235 battery will be incorporated in the VII. That will mean a larger body. Maybe that means a larger grip. This is a photocentric body. The tilt screen is the right decision, in my opinion. Please Fuji give us a full size audio jac. You gave us so much video features. Mask On Nurse Marty(Ret)
I’m a Canon system guy with loads of pro lenses, bodies etc but loved my Fuji 6x9 film camera from 30 yrs ago and always used Fuji films. I’m off to China on a tour in a couple of months so I’ve ordered a Fuji VI to take alongside a much scaled down Canon kit. As I’m staying in some old cities it’s a far better option than a giant SLR. I may take my great little EOS M5 and two or three good lenses, mainly for the Wall and river shots etc. As I’ll be 65 and there is a lot a travelling, carting 6 to 8kg of pro stuff around day after day is too much. I did think I’d get an iPhone 15 pro max (video) but that costs nearly as much as a VI and will never be the same quality. I think Fuji for people, my wife, cities etc and longer reach gear for elsewhere. I did try out my Canon 70-300 mk2 IS on my M5 with an adapter the other day. Looks a bit daft but totally works and as a cropped sensor goes out to 480mm. With IS and lightning fast focus, I was very surprised. No idea what the battery life will be driving its nano drive but I have 4 of the right ones.
I wouldn't have minded a slightly bigger and heavier body for a better battery. The performance of the NP-W235 with the X-Processor 5 is incredible. I wish they upgraded the card slot to UHS-2 and added weather sealing without having to attach the adapter ring but oh well. I sold my X100F a last year to get the XT5 but I miss it. I'd love to get the X100VI but I'll survive without it.
I recently sent off some old gear to KEH so I could buy the new X100VI. One of the cameras I reluctantly parted with was my X100S...really hated to let it go for old times sake. I'm keeping my X100V for now as I just can't bear to part with it. I bought an X-T5 last summer and I love how I'm now able to crop images. Like you, I clicked on the pre-order button at B&H as soon as I saw the two most things I wanted to see...upgraded sensor and IBIS. Keep up the good work.
Of course I want a flip screen! I will keep the X100V, XT4, DCI Pocket 2. Have IBIS on the XT4 and gimbal on the Pocket 2. Don't care about 40mp enough to upgrade. I require a flip screen, so didn't upgrade to XT5 and won't upgrade to X100VI...though if they change to combo flip/tilt screen on all their cameras, that would end this stupid divide. Currently, am only tempted to upgrade to the DJI Pocket 3...except first I need a new bike. 😉
I think the new version is entirely why I was able to find a used X100V at all! Haha! I love it, and am learning so, so much ... and this video helps reassure me that I didnt just get something that I already wish I had upgraded. Lol! So thanks!
Mine is pre-ordered. Also, you trade the V at MPB for $1,000 or KEH fotr around $960 with no hassle. I don't think IBIS and the new sensor/processor is just a "little" better.
Hi Booray! For the record, Fujifilm is calling this new camera the "X100 six". I like all the upgrades however I wonder how the camera will perform with IBIS, improved AF, the larger sensor with the same battery as previous models. IMO, there will be sacrifices in battery life and you can't tell me that some software programming is going to improve or maintain battery life. I think they stretched this thing to the point where it is now slightly larger by necessity. My thoughts are: why would I spend that much on a camera with a fixed focal length, and the same features I have in my X-T5? Yeah, it's slightly smaller but that being the only difference, it ain't worth it. I'd consider purchasing the older V model used when it goes on sale due to people trading up. Hope you enjoy yours.
Thanks for the video. I own the X100V and absolutely love it! For me upgrading to the VI is a no brainer. I've always wanted IBIS, and I do use the built in teleconverter a lot to go to 50mm and 70mm. Now, with the 40.2mp sensor I can get a 50mm image with this teleconverter that's 20mp, for example. Great for large prints. I can easily sell my X100V for $1,000+, so my cost will be $500-$600. I've pre-ordered it on B&H, used the PayBoo credit card they offer, so no sales tax, and free shipping. I thought the X100V would be my last small fixed lens camera, but I'm hoping the new X100VI now is. I can't image Fuji adding anything more that would be a huge game changer to this camera.
Nobody has mentioned this but this will be the first X100 line made in China. As Booray pointed out in his excellent video on the importance of the leaf shutterin the v, it is a delicate mechanism and I wonder if in the first year in the rollout the Chinese can get that manufacture down right or if there'll be some bugs in it as is usually the case in these kinds of things.
I did not upgrade my x100F to the v because it just didn't seem to have enough for my photography. The six looks like a big improvement from the f and therefore I am considering it. Especially as my f while on vacation last week got suntan lotion on it from my wife in the backpack and it the LCD no longer works and it doesn't seem to take electronic images anymore. So the six is getting strong consideration as a replacement.
Something to consider when upgrading from the V to the VI. All cases do not fit. Many folks have the Arte de mano case. Be aware it will not fit the VI as the tripod hole on the bottom has been moved. With my lizard case costing almost half as much as the camera, this was the deal breaker for me.
I have the X100V. I don't need ibis in this type of camera with the 23mm lens. I save my photos on Google and i reduce them to 2.8 MP so more pixels are good only to zoom. The greater maximum electronic shutter speed is good but this camera has neutral density filter. The best auto focus is good but i use the front button to focus. I always wish it has the back screen of the X-Pro3.
I am tempted, but I will wait until one is available to hire. I was never a fan of the Xtrans III and IV sensors, much preferring the image output of the Xtrans II. I keep my X100T (and X-T1 and X-T10) for this reason and am prepared to put up with its clunkiness. Once I can try a VI for myself and see if I like the look of the images I will make a properly informed decision. £1599 is a lot to pay out for something that may not suit. On paper though it does look like a big upgrade especially for me as the 50mm FOV crop which is the mode I am most likely to use, will still be around 19 or 20mp, which is more than plenty,
Think you nailed it at the start with the ibis. For me that’s the main reason to upgrade and secondly with the new sensor. Mines ordered in black in the UK. Look forward to more videos and thanks. 😊
It’s all about the quality control that Fujifilm put in place. How many people have issues with iPhones? They’re all made in China. If I were in the market for this camera I wouldn’t pay any attention to where it’s made, Fujifilm could not risk their reputation by having issues with what is their most anticipated camera for years.
For me it's a case of the ethical rather than quality issues surrounding the move. I can see why Fujifilm did it commercially. I suspect it is to do with declining availability of staff numbers in Japan due to an ageing population and lower production costs due to a suppressed Chinese currency and abominable environmental standards.
The ability to crop hard then crop again give you the a three in one camera. Well sort of. 23mm to 50mm to about 70mm ish would be my guess. Obviously you will not get the compression of the longer glass. but it does have an appeal. No need to buy the adapters. The X100V1 will not be on my shopping list but I owned and sold the X100v. Be lucky stay safe.
Great overview, enjoy your content. The Vi is a magnificent bit of kit, however I gotta say that whilst it’s a huge upgrade when compared to my X100F, I’m never disappointed with my images. I want a Vi, however I don’t believe that I need a Vi. If you’re familiar with your camera and are very capable, then the IBIS etc is nice to have, but not really necessary. Disclaimer; I also shoot some street with the X-H2, however I mainly purchased that camera to replace my Nikon DSLR’s for landscapes etc. I’m more than satisfied with my X100F for street.
It will be 20 Film Simulations on the X100VI... if I owned a X-T5 I probably would not get this camera, but I don't and opted for the X-H2 instead. I am super-happy Fujifilm kept the overall aesthetic of the X100V and made mostly a few internal improvements to the camera... I pre-ordered within 20 minutes of the launch.
Thank you for your thoughts. I for one will not be selling the X100V not even to help fund the new X100VI. The X100V is outstanding with the same lens as the VI and a lot of the other specks and features. I did order the X100VI and my plan is to travel with both so I have a back up incase something goes wrong with my camera.Its enough of a jump the digital crop will be like using a couple of lenses
I pre-ordered my Fuji X-100vi because I want it to complement my Fuji X-T5 for travel and everyday photography. I love my X-T5 but all my lenses are big and mainly used for professional work.
Hey Booray, It's good to see you back doing what you love. The IBIS is a big plus and the Film Simulations will appeal to Photographers that don't use Fuji. Let's hope that the pre ordering doesn't have a long wait. There will be a lot of happy Fuji shooters. Thanks Booray. 😊📸
Yes I am upgrading (pre-ordered at 3:30am) from the F which I loved but IBIS (me getting up there-my 82nd year), 40mp sensor (love it on my xt5), and plus I can still use all the spare batteries (6) I have for my F and former xt3. Wished the battery to be same as my XT5 but it would have made it larger which I may not of liked.
I have the x100F and found no reason to get the V. I did purchase the XT-5 when it came out which has the same 40 megapixel sensor also IBIS so I basically have no reason to upgrade. The one thing I will say is on the XT-5 since it has the more megapixels I notice more grain in my photos and especially video.
I've managed to find one review of the VI comparing the image quality to that of X100V. The difference is barely visible. You can see sliiiiiiightly more detail when you zoom in a lot. Should it be surprising? 40 megapixels vs 26 sound good on paper, but, in the end, the sensors are exactly the same size; so, no miracles there. On the other hand, IBIS looks like a great improvement both for lower shutter speeds as well as video recording.
I love IBIS. The 40MPs are for cropping. Don’t want to crop? Set to lower pixel density. Shame to pay for a larger sensor and not get much benefit. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
@@StevenKeery where they make iPad Pros, iPhones, MacBook Pros, Apple studio displays and most pro Lenovo gear, all to the designers’s specification and QA systems. Sure Japan makes great hifi (top end Marantz) and cars but it’s not a Canon 5D mk4 we’re talking about here, it’s a mid price but good quality camera. I still bet it’ll last a decade……
Maybe forever. What upgrades do you NEED?The V is a classic. Don’t need IBIS? Don’t need bigger sensor or additional video specs? Keep your V. I only buy new cameras when I’ve outgrown what I already have. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
So when all the Influencers and Fashionistas have to get "the next cool thing," a truckload of Vs will drop into the used market, and I can finally get one.
Two reviewers have thought the lens is not good enough for sharp images on the 40 MP sensor (Samuel Streetlife and Matt Granger). Once you get your hands on a camera it might be nice if you could test that. It looks like we all have plenty of time to cancel our order if that proves to be true.
I really don’t need 40MP. I need the fully flipped screen so that I can close the back when using the EVF. I hate the tilt screen and the fiddly ISO dial. But I am happy to keep my X100V.
They are calling it "6"... I do think the "F" will be going for best value... I disagree. I think the "V" will be hard to sell. TBH, I'd get the XS-20 + lens instead
Seen many Vi videos since launch but was looking forward to yours. Yesterday I preordered the silver Vi so looking forward to getting that sometime in 2034 lol. Anyway can’t wait for it to get here, I’m updating from my x100f so should be a big jump. I’m 64 now so getting to the stage where I don’t want to carry lots of gear and my wife giving me the eye on holidays while I stop to change lenses. This will be my everyday and holiday camera going forward. Looking forward to seeing all the Vi content you put out when you get yours Booray especially your setup 👍🏻
I will upgrade and I pre-ordered. I was hoping for a better battery, which may add a little weight but also a larger grip. Supposedly Fuji made the grip a "bit" bigger on the vi. I have the conversion lenses and it looks like they will work on the vi. We'll see how the 40mp sensor works with them.
Whilst I love my X100V, I've realised it's an awful lot of style but no more substance than the X-T30. So I'm not upgrading and I'm selling my: X100V X100F X-E3 X-T4 X-Pro3... ... and keeping my X-S20 and my beloved X-T30 (mk1!). They're honestly all I need now and the quality, as you well know, is superb. But if an X-T40 comes along I will probably be tempted. I'm now only interested in gear that I use and have GASsed myself out in the past and it's time to be sensible. Anyone buying the X100-6 will doubtless love it, the previous versions have give me much joy and great images. But the time has come to sadly say goodbye. ButI'll still be a subscriber and I love your videos.
Brilliant video Booray. dying to see your reviews!!! I have the X100V since day one (Its my 4th X100) but this time around.....I am holding off, at least for now. I wanted the tilt screen and weather proofing (I live in Ireland) so I got my wishes with the V. would I love this camera...yes, absolutely, but I will wait a bit.
Well I have only just taken delivery of my X100V, ( I only waited 2 weeks for it )so that's a no for the upgrade. A bit annoying really ( (2 weeks!) Anyway I am sure I will be be very pleased with what I have bought, and I may upgrade in a couple of years!
Hey, hope the move went well! According to the Fuji USA channel they're saying "six" and apparently the official way to say the previous model is "five". LOL! This camera isn't on my radar, but sounds pretty cool. BTW, Lee Zavits has a really good hands on preview for portrait photography/videography with the X100VI. Seemed to me that the battery is the only real non-improvement. Of course, some vloggers I know would have liked to see a flippy screen. But, I doubt most who want this camera are upset about that. Hopefully, for interested buyers, there won't be an inventory problem this time. Nice overview!
@@StevenKeery yeah but fujifilm is a Japanese company…selling out its workforce to CHYNAH…aka the American way…curious what happened to the Japanese employees, if japan gave them other jobs or are they thrown to the streets, as we do here in ‘Merica-ca
I own a XT5 and a XT30II. I got the XT30II because I couldn't find a 100V at a reasonable price. Definitely on the fence about the VI at the moment. I love it for the aesthetic and the fixed lens, but not sure if it makes sense given what I have now. But, who am I kidding, I'll probably get one.
My only disappointment is that they did not expand the grip and go with the larger battery. While I know that they want to keep that classic viewfinder-body look, one of the biggest complaints about shooting with the x100 series is the ergonomics. So we add a grip...fine, but without the benefit of more battery- something that I would think the addition of IBIS would demand. Style over function, in this case. But I've put my order in- sold the V a while back in anticipation of this new version. Unfortunately, sold all my batteries too.
I’m sure there will be a fair number of upgraders who want the IBIS. I suppose those people will put their 5 on eBay which will help somewhat with the supply shortage. There’s a lot of unfulfilled demand due to supply shortages. My question is whether Fuji can meet demand for the 6? I hoping that Fuji announces an X-E5 at the Sydney X Summit with the small IBIS from the 6 along with the 40 MP sensor & its processor while maintaining about the same size.
Great video as always. Better because of 40MB, when you have it the rest of upgraded turns to be a must. But from creative view of point, the ibis will bing some meaningful changes.
Upgrading from x100v probably not an automatic upgrade unless you sensibly sold at a good time anticipating buying now (ahem). I'd say if your total upgrade after selling is less than €200, no brainer. Under €500 could still be worth it if the updates are worth it for you. Above that, I'd wait to be honest. Personally I'm looking at €50 upgrade cost and much prefer the output of the 40MP sensor over the x-trans IV so no question for me, even though x100v prices are falling fast. First x100... and it will be your main camera, get the latest always. Back up or secondary camera and momey no object - VI. Don't want to spend too much, V or F but wait a couple of weeks for the VI to fully register in the secondary market. Just want to try it out, the S is about as far back as I'd go.
Thanks for the video! I have had the V for a little over a year and I just bought the XT5!! A sweet combo for me so I will NOT be getting the VI. I will look forward to your videos of your new upgrade!
Just a new computer with the same lens. Typical consumerism. If people think this camera is going to make their photos better, spoiler alert: it won’t. No gear acquisition syndrome here. Keeping my x100v
Maybe the question shouldn't be should I upgrade but should I change .... Having been an XT5 user now for about a year and a half since it's launch, I'm not sure I would be buying this camera over an XT5. It feels like it's got the inside of an XT5, but you're restricted with a 35 mm lens and that can be quirky and nice and fun, but just feels like they've taken an XT5 and put it in an X100Vi and I don't think that's necessarily bad.... it's been funny actually because a lot of the Fuji crew that I talk to on the platforms and even on your page have never really warmed to the XT5 they often say oh, it's not that big a deal 40 megapixels. It doesn't lead to sharp images. It's worse in low light, and a whole bunch of lies. It just aren', so now we have the X100 which essentially is a XT5 it really is that the leaf shutter is kinda cool and I think that I think is a benefit and a difference. If you ran a comparison video, and I'm sure someone will there is no way you would buy this camera over an XT5 surely not. But again, I don't think it's a bad upgrade. I think this is a great camera and I'm sure that the camera once it starts being used and people start pumping out great photos we live in an instantaneous world. As soon as people start taking really good photos with the new camera everyone will want to buy and we saw that with the XT5. It initially was not a huge shallow. It didn't go gangbusters. In fact, you've been able to get an XT5 pretty much from launch but probably six months into the journey of that camera. We saw the sales really increase. I think we will see a flood of people buying this camera, and then we will see a flood of people selling it. Very interesting times ahead. And to make everyone laugh I liked what you said at the end. Of course you're going to buy it. I'd be disappointed if you didn't buy it but it's probably not the camera for me but that's okay. I would love one but I'm heavily invested in GFX now as well and I'm loving that as well as keeping my XT5 I've got a foot in each camp. Maybe I'll end up selling the XT5 and getting this camera who knows
I just spoke with a Craigslist seller of the v, selling a like new for 1300 . I asked why u selling the much vaunted v? He said he has got used to the superior images from his gfx 50r and he thought the smaller size (with the lesser image quality ) from the v wasn't worth it for him . Since I do not have a v , I started looking at gfx- after all , isn't image what we are trying to get ? It is alot more $ with a good lens. he uses the 3 5 pancake
Upgrade: If you just shoot family stuff, stick with the 100v…. The larger file sizes will be a pain. If you have the 100V, it comes down if you want the Latest software and AF. The ibs is necessary because an aps-c sized 40 mp sensor requires and ibs to get photos sharp at 40mp. At that detail, you would see shakey blur that would not be visible at 26mp
You know, up until this point the ‘100’ never really interested me that much, I found the fixed lens concept a bit too limiting. However, the updated specs have caught my attention, this might be a contender. That said, I am an X-Pro fanboy (2 & 3), along with X-T5 and X-T3 doing the heavy lifting and paying the bills, so I am going to hold off grabbing a “VI until the Sydney summit later this year. If no X-Pro4 is announced, I just might pick one up. In the meantime, I might rent one for a week and see how it feels.
@@brandonprescott5753Yeah, I have heard that as well from the same source. Still, Patrick while I have a great deal of respect for him, he has been wrong before, so hope springs eternal and we see an announcement this year. That said, I believe that the Sydney summit will be a GFX event, but you never know.
I have a T…. Was going to upgrade to the F…… Fuji lost me when they abandoned the D pad….. 40 megapixels means I now will also have to upgrade my storage devices, iCloud and maybe the laptop… for me it’s a big no.
There is a function to lower the pixel density. If you are concerned about storage or won’t crop you don’t need the 49MP sensor. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
Many shot in jpeg &raw. The advantage is you see in the EVF what the film simulations will look like. Want to edit the jpeg? You have the raw file to work with. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
Hi Booray, The X100VI is a wonderful camera for it's size, colours, sensor size and so on. However, unfortunately it has the same problems as the X-H2 when trying to achieve focus on subjects more than 10 meters away. Totally unreliable - check it out. Cheers, Klaus
Oh man! You’re killing me, Booray! I was hoping you wouldn’t upgrade so I wouldn’t feel left out. Now I got to upgrade…and I don’t even want to sell my V.
10:24 Dude, stop it with the flip screen… you just said you don’t shoot video, just get an xs20 and be done with it. It’s because of RUclipsrs yapping their vocal minority that i lost the photometry dial on the Xt series because another RUclips wants to switch to video immediately….
FROM MY X100V, I SHALL UPGRADE TO THE X100VII MAYBE 4 YEARS DOWN THE LINE,WITH A BETTER LENS, BETTER VIEWFINDER , BETTER BATTERY LIFE , BETTER HEAT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THEN THE X100VI.

The X100VI will be my first X100 series camera. I preordered one from a camera store in Louisville, KY after the announcement on Feb 20. The camera sounds good to me as it is. It will be like having the modern advanced version of my Canon SureShot fixed 38mm lens point and shoot film camera from the 1980s. I used to keep that camera in my car under the front seat in case I wanted to take a picture wherever I was. It held up in the summer heat in the south. I don't know how well the X100VI will hold up storing it in my car, though.
Welcome back Booray! Im not upgrading. I've had my V less than a yr, am a hobbyist and still acclimating to the Fuji system (menus, film sims, etc.) vs Nikon. When I find I NEED ibis, larger sensor, better auto focus, I'll upgrade, otherwise I'll continue to love the V. And, there was no doubt that you're upgrading. I'm actually surprised you didn't get a preproduction model to review..... but you were a bit busy. As always, thanks for your honest perspective.
I'm in the same boat. I have a shelf full of Nikon but I wanted something smaller and the `~V does it.`Only had it a few months and am getting used to the Fuji system. I love what I have and dont see the need to upgrade
I like to update to VI. Because the fixed lens I need the 40mp sensor for cropping to 50 and 70mm focal length. Also, I am getting old and my hands are not that steady as before. The IBIS really helps.
I also have the TCL so I’m hoping to crop to 85mm. Same here old & tremulous hands.

Welcome Booray! Looking forward to your next video.
I hope that the introduction of the X100VI allows me to get on an older X100( either F or V) at a good price.
Fuji cameras are insanely priced right now on online stores, evwn aome very old models. Its crazy!
My guess is X100 bodies are going to crater in price. Some X100V owners are going to sell to offset the price for the VI. Fuji is going to produce X100VIs so the supple will increase. The price of new bodies will be lower than a three year old V. Dive! Dive!
I ordered a X100VI from B&H at 9AM EST. I don’t have the V. The 235 battery will be incorporated in the VII. That will mean a larger body. Maybe that means a larger grip. This is a photocentric body. The tilt screen is the right decision, in my opinion. Please Fuji give us a full size audio jac. You gave us so much video features.

@@martingreenberg870Why are you asking people to mask in 2024+
I never owned the V so I already preordered the VI. I had an F that I sold years ago and have missed it.
Same here.
I’m a Canon system guy with loads of pro lenses, bodies etc but loved my Fuji 6x9 film camera from 30 yrs ago and always used Fuji films.
I’m off to China on a tour in a couple of months so I’ve ordered a Fuji VI to take alongside a much scaled down Canon kit. As I’m staying in some old cities it’s a far better option than a giant SLR.
I may take my great little EOS M5 and two or three good lenses, mainly for the Wall and river shots etc. As I’ll be 65 and there is a lot a travelling, carting 6 to 8kg of pro stuff around day after day is too much. I did think I’d get an iPhone 15 pro max (video) but that costs nearly as much as a VI and will never be the same quality.
I think Fuji for people, my wife, cities etc and longer reach gear for elsewhere.
I did try out my Canon 70-300 mk2 IS on my M5 with an adapter the other day. Looks a bit daft but totally works and as a cropped sensor goes out to 480mm. With IS and lightning fast focus, I was very surprised. No idea what the battery life will be driving its nano drive but I have 4 of the right ones.
I wouldn't have minded a slightly bigger and heavier body for a better battery. The performance of the NP-W235 with the X-Processor 5 is incredible. I wish they upgraded the card slot to UHS-2 and added weather sealing without having to attach the adapter ring but oh well.
I sold my X100F a last year to get the XT5 but I miss it. I'd love to get the X100VI but I'll survive without it.
I recently sent off some old gear to KEH so I could buy the new X100VI. One of the cameras I reluctantly parted with was my X100S...really hated to let it go for old times sake. I'm keeping my X100V for now as I just can't bear to part with it. I bought an X-T5 last summer and I love how I'm now able to crop images. Like you, I clicked on the pre-order button at B&H as soon as I saw the two most things I wanted to see...upgraded sensor and IBIS. Keep up the good work.
The X100S was my second in the series. The X100VI will be my 4th. :)
Of course I want a flip screen!
I will keep the X100V, XT4, DCI Pocket 2.
Have IBIS on the XT4 and gimbal on the Pocket 2. Don't care about 40mp enough to upgrade. I require a flip screen, so didn't upgrade to XT5 and won't upgrade to X100VI...though if they change to combo flip/tilt screen on all their cameras, that would end this stupid divide. Currently, am only tempted to upgrade to the DJI Pocket 3...except first I need a new bike. 😉
I think the new version is entirely why I was able to find a used X100V at all! Haha! I love it, and am learning so, so much ... and this video helps reassure me that I didnt just get something that I already wish I had upgraded. Lol! So thanks!
Mine is pre-ordered. Also, you trade the V at MPB for $1,000 or KEH fotr around $960 with no hassle. I don't think IBIS and the new sensor/processor is just a "little" better.
Where did you pre-ordered?
Hi Booray! For the record, Fujifilm is calling this new camera the "X100 six". I like all the upgrades however I wonder how the camera will perform with IBIS, improved AF, the larger sensor with the same battery as previous models. IMO, there will be sacrifices in battery life and you can't tell me that some software programming is going to improve or maintain battery life. I think they stretched this thing to the point where it is now slightly larger by necessity. My thoughts are: why would I spend that much on a camera with a fixed focal length, and the same features I have in my X-T5? Yeah, it's slightly smaller but that being the only difference, it ain't worth it. I'd consider purchasing the older V model used when it goes on sale due to people trading up. Hope you enjoy yours.
Update: I tried to talk myself out of it. I preordered a VI yesterday. LOL
Thanks for the video. I own the X100V and absolutely love it! For me upgrading to the VI is a no brainer. I've always wanted IBIS, and I do use the built in teleconverter a lot to go to 50mm and 70mm. Now, with the 40.2mp sensor I can get a 50mm image with this teleconverter that's 20mp, for example. Great for large prints. I can easily sell my X100V for $1,000+, so my cost will be $500-$600. I've pre-ordered it on B&H, used the PayBoo credit card they offer, so no sales tax, and free shipping. I thought the X100V would be my last small fixed lens camera, but I'm hoping the new X100VI now is. I can't image Fuji adding anything more that would be a huge game changer to this camera.
You have it all figured out my friend 😀
Nobody has mentioned this but this will be the first X100 line made in China. As Booray pointed out in his excellent video on the importance of the leaf shutterin the v, it is a delicate mechanism and I wonder if in the first year in the rollout the Chinese can get that manufacture down right or if there'll be some bugs in it as is usually the case in these kinds of things.
We'll have to wait and see I suppose.
I did not upgrade my x100F to the v because it just didn't seem to have enough for my photography. The six looks like a big improvement from the f and therefore I am considering it. Especially as my f while on vacation last week got suntan lotion on it from my wife in the backpack and it the LCD no longer works and it doesn't seem to take electronic images anymore. So the six is getting strong consideration as a replacement.
How do we feel about the fact that the x100VI is made in china and the x100V is made in japan?
Don’t care. Fuji will do the QA so I have confidence in them. Being in China means Fuji will make more per camera.
Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
Something to consider when upgrading from the V to the VI. All cases do not fit. Many folks have the Arte de mano case. Be aware it will not fit the VI as the tripod hole on the bottom has been moved. With my lizard case costing almost half as much as the camera, this was the deal breaker for me.
That's great information. Thanks! 😀
I have the X100V. I don't need ibis in this type of camera with the 23mm lens. I save my photos on Google and i reduce them to 2.8 MP so more pixels are good only to zoom. The greater maximum electronic shutter speed is good but this camera has neutral density filter. The best auto focus is good but i use the front button to focus. I always wish it has the back screen of the X-Pro3.
I am tempted, but I will wait until one is available to hire. I was never a fan of the Xtrans III and IV sensors, much preferring the image output of the Xtrans II. I keep my X100T (and X-T1 and X-T10) for this reason and am prepared to put up with its clunkiness. Once I can try a VI for myself and see if I like the look of the images I will make a properly informed decision. £1599 is a lot to pay out for something that may not suit. On paper though it does look like a big upgrade especially for me as the 50mm FOV crop which is the mode I am most likely to use, will still be around 19 or 20mp, which is more than plenty,
Think you nailed it at the start with the ibis. For me that’s the main reason to upgrade and secondly with the new sensor. Mines ordered in black in the UK. Look forward to more videos and thanks. 😊
What are your thoughts on the Made in China vs Made in Japan with X100VI? I felt it a bit off putting for me…
It’s all about the quality control that Fujifilm put in place. How many people have issues with iPhones? They’re all made in China. If I were in the market for this camera I wouldn’t pay any attention to where it’s made, Fujifilm could not risk their reputation by having issues with what is their most anticipated camera for years.
I think it is more a case of the ethical issues raised by the move rather than quality control. @@billwinward9324
For me it's a case of the ethical rather than quality issues surrounding the move. I can see why Fujifilm did it commercially. I suspect it is to do with declining availability of staff numbers in Japan due to an ageing population and lower production costs due to a suppressed Chinese currency and abominable environmental standards.
@@richardhale9664 your excellent point makes me feel ashamed!
The ability to crop hard then crop again give you the a three in one camera. Well sort of.
23mm to 50mm to about 70mm ish would be my guess.
Obviously you will not get the compression of the longer glass. but it does have an appeal.
No need to buy the adapters.
The X100V1 will not be on my shopping list but I owned and sold the X100v.
Be lucky stay safe.
Great overview, enjoy your content.
The Vi is a magnificent bit of kit, however I gotta say that whilst it’s a huge upgrade when compared to my X100F, I’m never disappointed with my images.
I want a Vi, however I don’t believe that I need a Vi.
If you’re familiar with your camera and are very capable, then the IBIS etc is nice to have, but not really necessary.
Disclaimer; I also shoot some street with the X-H2, however I mainly purchased that camera to replace my Nikon DSLR’s for landscapes etc.
I’m more than satisfied with my X100F for street.
"Wanting it but not needing it" is probably the best description of how I feel 📷😁
It will be 20 Film Simulations on the X100VI... if I owned a X-T5 I probably would not get this camera, but I don't and opted for the X-H2 instead. I am super-happy Fujifilm kept the overall aesthetic of the X100V and made mostly a few internal improvements to the camera... I pre-ordered within 20 minutes of the launch.
Thank you for your thoughts. I for one will not be selling the X100V not even to help fund the new X100VI. The X100V is outstanding with the same lens as the VI and a lot of the other specks and features. I did order the X100VI and my plan is to travel with both so I have a back up incase something goes wrong with my camera.Its enough of a jump the digital crop will be like using a couple of lenses
I pre-ordered my Fuji X-100vi because I want it to complement my Fuji X-T5 for travel and everyday photography. I love my X-T5 but all my lenses are big and mainly used for professional work.
Hey Booray, It's good to see you back doing what you love. The IBIS is a big plus and the Film Simulations will appeal to Photographers that don't use Fuji. Let's hope that the pre ordering doesn't have a long wait. There will be a lot of happy Fuji shooters. Thanks Booray. 😊📸

I just assign a film profile to one of the 6 custom profiles. No need to scroll thru all of them.
Good hack!
I will stick with the V. I don’t need IBIS, 40mp, etc.
Yes I am upgrading (pre-ordered at 3:30am) from the F which I loved but IBIS (me getting up there-my 82nd year), 40mp sensor (love it on my xt5), and plus I can still use all the spare batteries (6) I have for my F and former xt3. Wished the battery to be same as my XT5 but it would have made it larger which I may not of liked.
I have the x100F and found no reason to get the V. I did purchase the XT-5 when it came out which has the same 40 megapixel sensor also IBIS so I basically have no reason to upgrade. The one thing I will say is on the XT-5 since it has the more megapixels I notice more grain in my photos and especially video.
I've managed to find one review of the VI comparing the image quality to that of X100V. The difference is barely visible. You can see sliiiiiiightly more detail when you zoom in a lot. Should it be surprising? 40 megapixels vs 26 sound good on paper, but, in the end, the sensors are exactly the same size; so, no miracles there. On the other hand, IBIS looks like a great improvement both for lower shutter speeds as well as video recording.
I love IBIS. The 40MPs are for cropping. Don’t want to crop? Set to lower pixel density. Shame to pay for a larger sensor and not get much benefit.

Vekofoto: Gordon Laing did a hands-on review of the Vi on his You Tube Channel.
Apparently production of the new cameras is moving to China.
@@StevenKeery where they make iPad Pros, iPhones, MacBook Pros, Apple studio displays and most pro Lenovo gear, all to the designers’s specification and QA systems. Sure Japan makes great hifi (top end Marantz) and cars but it’s not a Canon 5D mk4 we’re talking about here, it’s a mid price but good quality camera. I still bet it’ll last a decade……
I take Street photographs and casual travel photos. No videos. Dont think I need to upgrade from x100v. Safe for next 4 years at least 😊
Maybe forever. What upgrades do you NEED?The V is a classic. Don’t need IBIS? Don’t need bigger sensor or additional video specs? Keep your V. I only buy new cameras when I’ve outgrown what I already have.
Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
I heard the IBIS doesn't lock down when you turn the camera off. Apparently, you can hear it move around. Have you heard this too?
I haven't heard that. Interesting...
That’s common on cameras
Fuji called it the 6 in Summit 2024 stream. Are you a fellow Pasco county boy now? I already pre-ordered my VI.
vi is 6 😉 smile
Great to see you back in harness, we’ve missed you. “Am I going to upgrade? Damn right I’m going to upgrade!”. That’s the Booray we all want to see!😂
Chris on Petal Pixel said they should allow you to X out the films you don't use. I thought that was a good idea.
That's a GREAT idea.
It’s good to see you Boorey. I hope like new neighborhood. Best wishes for Gary.
Thanks!
So when all the Influencers and Fashionistas have to get "the next cool thing," a truckload of Vs will drop into the used market, and I can finally get one.
I hope so and at a fair price. For me that is below the MSRP of $1399. This is a used camera after all.
Mask On Nurse Marty(Ret)
Or rather, six.
If the hit from selling the x100v is small enough, then yes its definitely worth it to upgrade
Two reviewers have thought the lens is not good enough for sharp images on the 40 MP sensor (Samuel Streetlife and Matt Granger). Once you get your hands on a camera it might be nice if you could test that. It looks like we all have plenty of time to cancel our order if that proves to be true.
The big question is when will I get my hands on a camera. 😂
I really don’t need 40MP. I need the fully flipped screen so that I can close the back when using the EVF. I hate the tilt screen and the fiddly ISO dial. But I am happy to keep my X100V.
They are calling it "6"... I do think the "F" will be going for best value... I disagree. I think the "V" will be hard to sell. TBH, I'd get the XS-20 + lens instead
If you want something with heritage, the last made in Japan x camera get the V
Seen many Vi videos since launch but was looking forward to yours. Yesterday I preordered the silver Vi so looking forward to getting that sometime in 2034 lol. Anyway can’t wait for it to get here, I’m updating from my x100f so should be a big jump. I’m 64 now so getting to the stage where I don’t want to carry lots of gear and my wife giving me the eye on holidays while I stop to change lenses. This will be my everyday and holiday camera going forward. Looking forward to seeing all the Vi content you put out when you get yours Booray especially your setup 👍🏻
I thought it was just my wife that has that look when I reach to add the TCL.
I will upgrade and I pre-ordered. I was hoping for a better battery, which may add a little weight but also a larger grip. Supposedly Fuji made the grip a "bit" bigger on the vi. I have the conversion lenses and it looks like they will work on the vi. We'll see how the 40mp sensor works with them.
Whilst I love my X100V, I've realised it's an awful lot of style but no more substance than the X-T30. So I'm not upgrading and I'm selling my:
X100V
X100F
X-E3
X-T4
X-Pro3...
... and keeping my X-S20 and my beloved X-T30 (mk1!). They're honestly all I need now and the quality, as you well know, is superb. But if an X-T40 comes along I will probably be tempted. I'm now only interested in gear that I use and have GASsed myself out in the past and it's time to be sensible.
Anyone buying the X100-6 will doubtless love it, the previous versions have give me much joy and great images. But the time has come to sadly say goodbye. ButI'll still be a subscriber and I love your videos.
Yup, to each his own...
Sell quickly before the price craters.
Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
Get what you’re saying about the flip screen but there’s no way it would look as good as it does.
Ya think? My Xt-4 and my X-H2 both have flip screens and they integrate flush.
Brilliant video Booray. dying to see your reviews!!! I have the X100V since day one (Its my 4th X100) but this time around.....I am holding off, at least for now. I wanted the tilt screen and weather proofing (I live in Ireland) so I got my wishes with the V. would I love this camera...yes, absolutely, but I will wait a bit.
I get it, I do. Bottom line for me is the IBIS and the ability to crop more. :)
Well I have only just taken delivery of my X100V, ( I only waited 2 weeks for it )so that's a no for the upgrade. A bit annoying really ( (2 weeks!) Anyway I am sure I will be be very pleased with what I have bought, and I may upgrade in a couple of years!
IBIS, same sensor as my TX-5, and better auto focus. So yeah, I think it's worth the upgrade.
Would be nice to set your favorite filmsimulatons, like four, so you can quickly select one
You can via the 7 custom settings and select them with a customized button
Hey, hope the move went well! According to the Fuji USA channel they're saying "six" and apparently the official way to say the previous model is "five". LOL! This camera isn't on my radar, but sounds pretty cool. BTW, Lee Zavits has a really good hands on preview for portrait photography/videography with the X100VI. Seemed to me that the battery is the only real non-improvement. Of course, some vloggers I know would have liked to see a flippy screen. But, I doubt most who want this camera are upset about that. Hopefully, for interested buyers, there won't be an inventory problem this time. Nice overview!
Should have been called the fuji x100R as in Roku..which is six in Japanese!
@@TheVFXbyArt: The new cameras are being produced in China.
Gordon Laing, another You Tuber did a hands- on review on his channel.
@@StevenKeery yeah but fujifilm is a Japanese company…selling out its workforce to CHYNAH…aka the American way…curious what happened to the Japanese employees, if japan gave them other jobs or are they thrown to the streets, as we do here in ‘Merica-ca
I own a XT5 and a XT30II. I got the XT30II because I couldn't find a 100V at a reasonable price. Definitely on the fence about the VI at the moment. I love it for the aesthetic and the fixed lens, but not sure if it makes sense given what I have now. But, who am I kidding, I'll probably get one.
My only disappointment is that they did not expand the grip and go with the larger battery. While I know that they want to keep that classic viewfinder-body look, one of the biggest complaints about shooting with the x100 series is the ergonomics. So we add a grip...fine, but without the benefit of more battery- something that I would think the addition of IBIS would demand. Style over function, in this case. But I've put my order in- sold the V a while back in anticipation of this new version. Unfortunately, sold all my batteries too.
I am upgrading from the f - easy decision but keeping the f because it is still excellent
I wish it has the vertical flip up screen just like he XT-5, I would be a perfect camera
If you have a V nah, if you have anything lower than a V like the 100 or s, t, or f then yes
I’m sure there will be a fair number of upgraders who want the IBIS. I suppose those people will put their 5 on eBay which will help somewhat with the supply shortage. There’s a lot of unfulfilled demand due to supply shortages. My question is whether Fuji can meet demand for the 6?
I hoping that Fuji announces an X-E5 at the Sydney X Summit with the small IBIS from the 6 along with the 40 MP sensor & its processor while maintaining about the same size.
One review I’ve been waiting for. I’ll be sticking with the V personally.
If new then get the new X100VI for sure. To me it's not upgrade from X100V. Get Leica means upgrade to me. haha..
Great video as always. Better because of 40MB, when you have it the rest of upgraded turns to be a must. But from creative view of point, the ibis will bing some meaningful changes.
At the Summit, Fujifilm called it the X-100(six)
vi is 6 😉 😊
@@robinbhairam7508 Indeed
@@robinbhairam7508 duh.
Own a V but will not upgrade, as a amateur still spoilt by the V.
Upgrading from x100v probably not an automatic upgrade unless you sensibly sold at a good time anticipating buying now (ahem). I'd say if your total upgrade after selling is less than €200, no brainer. Under €500 could still be worth it if the updates are worth it for you. Above that, I'd wait to be honest. Personally I'm looking at €50 upgrade cost and much prefer the output of the 40MP sensor over the x-trans IV so no question for me, even though x100v prices are falling fast.
First x100... and it will be your main camera, get the latest always. Back up or secondary camera and momey no object - VI. Don't want to spend too much, V or F but wait a couple of weeks for the VI to fully register in the secondary market. Just want to try it out, the S is about as far back as I'd go.
They referred it as "Fuji X100 Six" in the official event.
I just got the VI in the mail and can’t seem to figure out how to get the lens cap off lol😅 Do you just pull it off? any tips?
You should just pull it off if it's the same as the others. :)

I’ve shot selfies with this camera WITHOUT a flip screen. Use the app if you need to frame a family portrait with you in it.
Thanks for the video! I have had the V for a little over a year and I just bought the XT5!! A sweet combo for me so I will NOT be getting the VI. I will look forward to your videos of your new upgrade!
That's my set up too!
Hoping that the "V" will come down from its current stratospheric pricing soon
My thinking is that I will never buy another camera without IBIS .. Thanks for your video, Booray ..
I watched the summit and they call it "Six". Fuji increases the price of VI by $200. Ibis + auto focus + new chip + new senor is worth upgrading imo
Just a new computer with the same lens. Typical consumerism. If people think this camera is going to make their photos better, spoiler alert: it won’t. No gear acquisition syndrome here. Keeping my x100v
No a flipscreen is a dealbraker
Maybe the question shouldn't be should I upgrade but should I change .... Having been an XT5 user now for about a year and a half since it's launch, I'm not sure I would be buying this camera over an XT5. It feels like it's got the inside of an XT5, but you're restricted with a 35 mm lens and that can be quirky and nice and fun, but just feels like they've taken an XT5 and put it in an X100Vi and I don't think that's necessarily bad.... it's been funny actually because a lot of the Fuji crew that I talk to on the platforms and even on your page have never really warmed to the XT5 they often say oh, it's not that big a deal 40 megapixels. It doesn't lead to sharp images. It's worse in low light, and a whole bunch of lies. It just aren', so now we have the X100 which essentially is a XT5 it really is that the leaf shutter is kinda cool and I think that I think is a benefit and a difference. If you ran a comparison video, and I'm sure someone will there is no way you would buy this camera over an XT5 surely not. But again, I don't think it's a bad upgrade. I think this is a great camera and I'm sure that the camera once it starts being used and people start pumping out great photos we live in an instantaneous world. As soon as people start taking really good photos with the new camera everyone will want to buy and we saw that with the XT5. It initially was not a huge shallow. It didn't go gangbusters. In fact, you've been able to get an XT5 pretty much from launch but probably six months into the journey of that camera. We saw the sales really increase. I think we will see a flood of people buying this camera, and then we will see a flood of people selling it. Very interesting times ahead. And to make everyone laugh I liked what you said at the end. Of course you're going to buy it. I'd be disappointed if you didn't buy it but it's probably not the camera for me but that's okay. I would love one but I'm heavily invested in GFX now as well and I'm loving that as well as keeping my XT5 I've got a foot in each camp. Maybe I'll end up selling the XT5 and getting this camera who knows
I just spoke with a Craigslist seller of the v, selling a like new for 1300 . I asked why u selling the much vaunted v? He said he has got used to the superior images from his gfx 50r and he thought the smaller size (with the lesser image quality ) from the v wasn't worth it for him .
Since I do not have a v , I started looking at gfx- after all , isn't image what we are trying to get ? It is alot more $ with a good lens. he uses the 3 5 pancake
Yeah wished they would allow limitation to how many or which film sims are shown. Also clarity lag speed to be improved or eliminated.
Booray, I am a bit concerned about the card slot..no change and yet file size has jumped to 40mb so could be a lot more buffering going on?
youre quick with it ahah
I have decided not to upgrade I have the V and an XT5.
I have an xt5 - should I get this too?
That's a big question. The XT-5 does everything you need.
Upgrade:
If you just shoot family stuff, stick with the 100v…. The larger file sizes will be a pain.
If you have the 100V, it comes down if you want the Latest software and AF. The ibs is necessary because an aps-c sized 40 mp sensor requires and ibs to get photos sharp at 40mp. At that detail, you would see shakey blur that would not be visible at 26mp
You know, up until this point the ‘100’ never really interested me that much, I found the fixed lens concept a bit too limiting. However, the updated specs have caught my attention, this might be a contender. That said, I am an X-Pro fanboy (2 & 3), along with X-T5 and X-T3 doing the heavy lifting and paying the bills, so I am going to hold off grabbing a “VI until the Sydney summit later this year. If no X-Pro4 is announced, I just might pick one up. In the meantime, I might rent one for a week and see how it feels.
According to Fujirumours (they are very accurate with their reporting) no Xpro -4 will be announced this year.
@@brandonprescott5753Yeah, I have heard that as well from the same source. Still, Patrick while I have a great deal of respect for him, he has been wrong before, so hope springs eternal and we see an announcement this year.

There is a function to lower the pixel density. If you are concerned about storage or won’t crop you don’t need the 49MP sensor.

When using film simulations in camera you get a jpeg file. Wouldn’t it be better to do that in post shot you can edit a raw file?
Many shot in jpeg &raw. The advantage is you see in the EVF what the film simulations will look like. Want to edit the jpeg? You have the raw file to work with.

Considering you can sell the V for $1.200-$1,400 maybe an upgrade is a good idea….

Hi Booray,
The X100VI is a wonderful camera for it's size, colours, sensor size and so on. However, unfortunately it has the same problems as the X-H2 when trying to achieve focus on subjects more than 10 meters away. Totally unreliable - check it out.
Cheers,
Klaus
I will.
Did you have any chance to check it out? I can also send you a batch of images, where it is obvious.
Hey Booray,
Did you manage to check it out? Sitting with another Fuji photog right now, who experience the same problems.
@@klausbo4627 I don't have an X100VI yet. :)

Dude, stop it with the flip screen… you just said you don’t shoot video, just get an xs20 and be done with it. It’s because of RUclipsrs yapping their vocal minority that i lost the photometry dial on the Xt series because another RUclips wants to switch to video immediately….
