I am waiting for mine! I cannot wait to change the fundamental process of how I look at photography. This camera will be with me at all times!

There was a car that came out in the US Domestic market around 2015 or so. It was called the Fiesta ST. It caught the same hype as the X100V. Journalists loved talking about it, making content with it, and discussing it. And that lasted its entire existence. I knew they actually thought it was a good enthusiast car when they started buying them with their own money, which every one of them did, and when they used them whether or not content was being made. It was that endorsement which made me think it was worth owning. And so I bought one. And I was right. The X100VI is no different. I will know it is good when the journalists who write about these things and speak on them and influence opinion about them start paying for them with their own money and using them whether or not they are making content. I will know when a year from now they are still using them despite having access to any camera they want.

Nice unboxing! Really like how you put this together. Enjoy shooting with this! 👏

I like the film simulation , because I started with film camera few months again , until I learn about the X100 series.

I went from London to Cambridge in the UK today, to my favourite camera shop and I have pre-ordered a Fuji X100VI. They had a Fuji event today with one of the Fuji reps, and I was able to get hands-on with the camera. Felt great so I immediately ordered it. Now I am eagerly wating for it to arrive. Nice video, by the way Phil. As always.

Thank you for reminding us regarding the hype. The hype for x100vi and hasselblad’s 907x cfv100c is real

This was a really good perspective. Talking about a fun camera. It's fun for us who are used to cemeras. But not towards the people that are coming from smartphones. X100 can be very complicated and not so enjoyable for those people.

Mine arrived today. I have three other Fuji bodies but really looking forward to getting out with this for fun.

On Reddit people are saying that the x100vi has one more thread on the lens vs the x100v. That leaves a small gap on the x100vi as far as threads go. Did you experience this?

Great job young man.

I’m so jealous!! Mine will take forever to get here!!

X100 is not designed to be the first and only one camera in my opinion - I would recommend depending on budget just (used X-T20, X-T30) or X-T5 / X-S20 with zoom at the beginning until someone gets his favorite focal length. Then such person can buy 1-3 primes to level up his skills and have more room to learn. X100VI is overhyped, of course :)

Budget is the first question. If you have $1600 buy an X100Vi it’s a perfectly fine camera. Nobody with a $400 budget would be considering it… to your point they’d buy an A6000

Directly Checking my emails… No, I still have to wait 😭😭🤪

Nice video! 👍🏻 As you said, you don't need this camera for having fun. It seems to be very good, yes. But for fun, I would choose an older and cheaper camera. I would be too afraid, it could be boken or stolen. With a cheaper cam, you're feeling free, to bring it with you all the time with no regrets. But I also know, how nice it is, to have something new😉 have fun, enjoy!

Whoohoo! Congrats on the new Camera. I also have one coming but it's slow :( Everything you said is 100%. Fomo is real.

Thanks for the video!I have a Nikon ZF and I'm so tempted to get the Fuji X100VI to pair with it, especially after i sold my beloved Xpro3. I do have a Canonet ql17 giii rangefinder film camera in silver which looks very similar to the X100VI, even more compact, but nowadays shooting with film is getting so expensive sadly. Since you have both, how does the X100VI compare to the ZF? Any reason for you to wanting both in your kit?Thanks!

Did it need a spacer like the X100v did? It looked like you just screwed the UV filter right on without a spacer?

Phuoc. Thank you for your video. Could you please commet on the new wifi5 Xapp transfer speed vs the old V?

happy for you

For these smaller cameras I would like to see the manufacturers substitute the neck strap for a wrist strap.

Do you think I should by first sony A7CR instead of this? I want a camera just for my family, I'm not planning to earn money with photography, traveling 4-6 times a year.

Which alternative camera would you suggest if you only use a smartphone right now? Maybe

Link to the lens hood? 🤌🏾

Where is the thick instruction book like the one with the X100V?

Every new version is always overhyped. They add so little having any true meaning from even their first version in the long run. But that is the way of things after all in our fast moving world :) But maybe in the camera world , the X100 series are the most hyped up and in some ways over hyped . Also maybe as a consequence of that i have never seen a camera model being left for other cameras and sold on the marketplace a few months after. Many being bored with it after saying it was so perfect first hehe. And with the V especially it became ridiculous with the secondhand prices being alost like new or more. Just because they were hard to get not because of what the camera was worth. Also the way of the world i know, but still silly :) I had the X100F and while it thought it was fun it felt a bit like a toy in comparison to the Q or M240 i later had. Also was shooting with the X-T1 and 2 and 3, but except the X-T1 and maybe two in some ways i did not like what they were doing with the later models in fuji. Got bigger and bigger as well as just cramming in more megapixels but being worse in other ways. I started shooting Fuji when the X-T1 came just because of the smaller lenses and camera body and retro look, but along the way that sort of got sidetracked in my opinion. Its like every camera that comes out has to also be the perfect V-Logging toy like the mobile phones or they are scared people wont buy them ;) I really liked the way Nikon went with the ZF though in contrast. They dared making a retro model although they are so invested in the Z bodies that look very boring and mundane, i would never have bought a Z body otherwise, but the Zf was almost perfect for me at this stage :) You did not buy your Zf that long ago right? :) How do you have the time hehe? Now also a new X100Vi! Im hard pressed on time only with 1 new camera to learn it and get comfortable with it over time. Going to be interesting following the development! Gratz to your new "baby" hope you brings you a lot of great images . /Martin.

When did you order it?

which color looks better in real life silver/ black?

tf you mean finallly arrived it literally released today mine will be here friday

I cancelled my pre-order The X-T5 is cheaper now and has better IQ with the 18mm 1.4, 33mm 1.4 or 56mm 1.2. I sold mine but I think I will rebuy it since I have all those lenses. I was hoping for a Pro4 but it will not come this year. The Nikon Z6II is much cheaper, the ZF or Z7II used is the same price, a bit more expensive. The IQ will probably be better no matter which Z lens you use.

Leica q3 or Fuji x100vi ? for your everyday camera
