Fujifilm X100VI Review: The Hype is Real
Pros
- 40MP sensor provides incredible detail
- In-Body Image Stabilization (finally!)
- Reala Ace film simulation is gorgeous
- Hybrid Viewfinder remains unique
Cons
- Hard to find in stock
- Single UHS-I SD card slot

Introduction
After the viral success of the X100V on TikTok and Instagram, Fujifilm had a massive challenge: how to improve perfection? The X100VI is the answer, adding high resolution and stabilization to the beloved compact formula.
What's New?
The headline features are the 40MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor and the 6-stop IBIS.
- Resolution: You can now crop heavily and still have plenty of pixels. This makes the digital teleconverter (50mm and 70mm equivalents) genuinely usable.
- Stabilization: Handholding at 1/2 second is now possible. This opens up new possibilities for low-light street photography without a tripod.
The Shooting Experience
The X100VI retains the soul of the series. The leaf shutter is whisper-quiet. The hybrid viewfinder lets you switch between an optical rangefinder-style view and an electronic feed. It connects you to the moment in a way few cameras do.
The new Reala Ace film simulation produces punchy, true-to-life colors that require zero editing.
Verdict
The X100VI is the ultimate everyday carry camera. It’s small enough to take everywhere but powerful enough for professional work. If you can find one, buy it.
