    I picked up the Fujifilm X100VI last month so in today's video I discuss my early thoughts on using this camera for Street Photography and video.
    If you'd like to support the channel consider picking up my cinematic Lightroom preset pack.

    The X100V was great, but I sold it fast. Later I tried the X-E1, and woooww the sensor is so much more harmonious and the body feels so much more premium. I don't miss anything about the X-E1 and can only advise everyone to take it instead of the x100v.

    Super review !! Je l'ai également depuis 3 semaines et je l'aime beaucoup. Effectivement il a quelques défauts que tu as cités, j'ajouterais le "flip screen" mériterait d'avoir la même orientation que le X-T5 pour shooter au ras du sol 😉 c'est un boîtier secondaire pour moi (je travaille avec le Sony A7IV) et mour tous les jours ou en vacances... Il est adorable ! Je fais des POV avec, en street photo, et ce bel objet apporte aussi du sourire aux gens dans la rue 😊😉 encore une belle vidéo !!

    I was really waiting for your review on this one! All your concerns are valid points and I agree 100%…
    Of course X100 series cameras are wonderful pieces of equipment, very tactile to use in small package, but those constrains make me slow down on the travel shooting, so I just couldn’t justify purchase of either x100v back in days when came out nor x100vi nowdays…lack of buttons, one SD card slot, old battery, lack of weather sealling and small evf just holds me back and slowing down the proccess of my photography when traveling…xt series just does better job for me…

    • @erenjam

    Hi Eren. I'm not a video guy at all, but...With the vi, you can now assign a function button to "movie recording release" which immediately starts video recording. Function screen 6/9.

    • @AndreasFeydt
      @AndreasFeydt 3 місяці тому +3

      The problem with that function is that it fires off the video with the settings your camera is currently set to. Which for me atleast is typically specific photo settings.
      I wish it was possible to set that function to fire off video in one of my stored custom settings for video instead.

    • @joelb727
      @joelb727 3 місяці тому +1

      @@AndreasFeydt yes. As I said, I don't do video so I would probably never use it and since there's at least an option now, they could fix it to work 'properly' with a firmware update.

    Hi Eren!
    Excellent review (as always) 😌
    In my opinion it's nice to have it, but not as your main and only camera.
    For that price, you can get a decent Fuji body (XT-4 second hand ?) and better lenses (F1.4 for example), and the image quality will be better + no compact limitations.
    I'm not saying it's not a good camera, but I wouldn't trow that much money because of an internet hype thing.
    Marketing is powerful these days, but we must be better 😌

      Fuji x100VI 521g plus weather resistant kit - Fuji xt-5 557g plus lens (eg 27mm 2.8) 84g - the Fuji xt-5 is slightly heavier, but feels much better in the hand - it's your choice (-:

      The x100vi does feel light , I can hang it around my neck without it feeling heavy. The XT5 isn't actaully that heavy but with the newer fuji lenses / zoom lens on the front it does feel heavier.

    3:05 Errr X-T5 & X-H2 not the X-H2S (that has a back-illuminated 26.1MP X-Trans 5 stacked sensor, the previous 26.1MP sensor which is still used in the X-S20 is the 26.1MP X-Trans 4 BSI CMOS Sensor). The X-T5, X-H2 & X100VI all use the same 40.2MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor.

    The x100 range are fantastic, from the first to the current. The prices are going insane though. I'd disagree with issues around video access and memory cards as this isn't a "pro" camera. It's pro priced but too limited for most professionals. Shame it's not weather sealed still.

    With the hysteria that started with the X100V that saw them sell out and silly prices appear on ebay and now continuing with the X100VI and quite a few being bough just to immediately sell on well above the asking price, I sadly have to say the X100VI isn't worth the hassle, let alone the hype.
