X100VI

Dave Maciak · Jan 16, 2025

Seems like the lack of the Fuji X100VI is starting to loosen up. I got mine (finally) at KEH and I see B&H now has one for sale. Both
are used, KEH with the best price.
Price gouging from some outlets still exists.

Have not used it enough yet to give you a decent answer but I will say this: the size of it makes it very easy to "take along" and the digital zoom working with 40 megapixels is great if you are one who does not like carrying a lot of gear. The color rendition is, well, Fuji--excellent. Button and dial settings are basically the same as my XT-5 (which I sold back to KEH because of an overly sensitive shutter button).
I added a grip. It feels good in your hand and is easy to use. I bought it for The Street, and it's small size
does not (usually) alarm people.-----"Where do you buy film for it?" Have heard that a few times!

Fuji sidestepped Canon/Nikon (and everyone else) in 2010 with the first X-100 and 2014 with the X-T1. Sensor/processor updates aside, it's the form factor on both that's so beguiling. Yup, the little pricey grip for the X-100VI makes all the difference--does on my old X-100T. Last comment on mine, just this week, was "Haven't seen an old Leica M6 in years, especially in black." Enjoy!

I wouldn't mind one again. I regret selling the X100V that I had. It was almost perfect.

Hoage grip--$27 & change
Hoage thumb rest=- $19.00

Did not buy thumb rest, old one from X100 T fits nicely
