Fujifilm has unveiled the successor to its TikTok star, the X100V. The new X100VI promises improvements that will satisfy even the most demanding photographers, despite the higher price and the shift of production to China. The predecessor was so popular that it fetched 2x the price of a used new one on Ebay, which was sold out.
Fujifilm X100VI at first glance it may look the same as its predecessor, but under the hood hides improvements that make it even more versatile. With a 40 million pixel sensor and in-body image stabilization, the X100VI is ready for all photographic challenges. However, some specifications remain the same, such as the UHS-1 SD card slot and battery from the X100V model, meaning an additional purchase of a spare battery may be necessary for longer photography trips.

Improved autofocus and 20 Fujifilm film simulations, including the exclusive Reala Ace, promise to make your photos stand out.
