A bunch of other content creators published their videos on the x100vi a couple of days earlier, but none came close to the thoroughness we have come to expect from your videos Chris! We really appreciate you taking the time to make them so well. I bought and loved the xt1 in 2014, I had been wanting to come back into the fujifilm ecosystem, but I don't want to sell all my Sony gear. I pulled the trigger and pre-purchased the x100Vi thinking it could get me using fuji without the need to buy into the whole lens system. This video made me feel better and more exited about this camera. Thanks again!
They doing it for clicks and money.
I love this channel in part because the explanations are more thorough and clear.
Just so you know. I used to be a sony shooter. I got the X100V when it was new. Months later, I sold all of my sony gear and got x-t4 XD
oh no!! 😅@@luxdalet I kinda hope to use the fuji for casual every day family portraits and street photography, and keep the Sony gear for more serious work. Although you never really know where you'll end up right?
You’re gonna love it ;) just be aware that this can switch you to all Fuji in the future;) Sony for work is one of the best, but doesn’t have “the soul” ;) But Fuji has his limitations so a lot of room to catch up with Sony.
One thing is to be a “creator”. The other thing is to be Fuji’s #1 authority in you tube. Thanks Chris!
Easily the best review of the X100VI so far on UA-cam. Thanks for putting all the time into creating such a in-depth video!
This is by far the best review of the camera I've seen. And I have watched just about all of them. Thanks for the in-depth coverage.
Omg, Fujifilm should use this video as their X100VI Guide 101!
I really appreciate the production quality of this video Chris. You can tell you put so much work into this.
And to quote the Wizard of Oz….’and your little dog too’….what a star…..
Okay, comment from the end. . . I have had an XE4 with the 27mm pancake. It was the size I wanted for and everyday carry. It was my gateway into the Fujifilm system. I soon added some lenses and not long after I added lenses, I realized I needed WR., which the XE4 did not have. Enter a very fine XT5. The jump from the 26mp to the 40mp sensor was an eye opener. Next up I decided to send my XE4 to my daughter-in-law, as she was recovering from cancer and had decided to move forward with photography as a new exploration. I no longer had an everyday carry camera that would sit on my shoulder wherever it went. My XT5 has 3 marvelous lenses that handle my shooting needs. I have the amazing 16-55 f2.8 red badge, the 50-140 f2.8 red badge and the 70-300 zoom. Sitting on my XT5 my pictures shine with these 3 lenses. But for an EDC - the XT5 and the 16-55 f2.8 weighs in at 1394 grams - an X100VI is only 521. That was my reason for buying the X100VI - it will reside on my shoulder whenever I'm out and about. It's menu memory is firmly planted in my brain as it's so close to the XT5. I know I can rely on it as an EDC as it's lighter touch on my 70ish shoulders.
Keep Calm and Fuji On!
Why not get a 27 for xt5
@@cyano3d Two reasons: 1. I want the 23mm angle of view! I was not enamored with the 27mm angle of view. My “eye” pre visualizes in 23. 2. Compactness over the shoulder for EDC. 3. Leaf shutter and ND built in.
I wish your daughter-in-law all the very best! I hope she's enjoying her new hobby!
It's a testament to the quality of this video that even though I've already preordered mine and it will be the third version the X100 I'l have owned, I eagerly watched the entire video! You are so great at this!
BTW I tote SOnyf or my job (I'm a professional photographer) but I grab the X100 when I want to have fun. Its the one camera I have ever owned where I use the word love.
i’m so glad this guy is in the fuji family, he’s helped me every step of the way after purchasing my first digital (x-T5).
Thank you man!
Having viewed most of your content, one of my favorite phrases is "Have a look at this...". What a good teacher, you have made my Fujifilm camera experience so much better. Thank y ou
At first I thought, yeah I’ve seen enough about the X100VI while I’m on the order list patiently waiting for my camera. Then I recognized it was Pal2tech and I changed my mind.. I said, I like this guy! 😂 And for good reason, best and most in depth review yet!! 👍
This overview shows how serious are you with your work. Some people spend months with this camera, producing spec reading wideo with some crappy photos. You had one week and managed squeeze as much as possible. Thank you for your work!
First review I’ve seen that properly tests the auto focus. Happy to see it’s been improved over the X100v. Thank you!
Insane in-depth review, sir. You literally delivered 2-3weeks worth of experiment's findings in just one video. Definitely wanting to buy this camera more. Thank you once again!!
This is an exceptional guide to the camera 📷 really exceptional 👌🏻👏🏻 thanks so much
Came for the IBIS, ND & Video capabilities but ended up watching everything. Incredibly thorough! THANK YOU!!
I've owned an x100 for 9 years. I started from T, later switched to V. And yes indeed I started doing more photos with it, as X100 is more portable. Now using my old Canon 5DmIV only for sports and nature shooting...
As always, a superb and comprehensive deep dive into the camera and what the specs will actually mean to most photographers. This is the review I've been waiting for.
Thank you for the detailed video, the amount of work that you have put in is pretty incredible. Have pre ordered mine and arriving tomorrow.
Well done, comprehensive and thorough! Thanks Chris!
Great review Chris. I’ve watched a dozen reviews of this camera, I’ve already ordered it, yours was by far the most informative, and as always, very entertaining. Thank you.
Fantastic comprehensive review, so honest and professional and fun to watch too, this is exactly what I needed! Thank you, I appreciate it!
Definitive overview. Thank you so much for this. I'm absorbing all the content as I wait for my pre-order to arrive!
thank you so much for the videos! I'm learning a lot! I just recently started studying photography and I have been contemplating of getting a fujifilm camera as my first camera.
An excellent video as usual. I have put in a pre order for my X1006 and your videos are my go to source for understanding my Fujifilm cameras. Thank you. ❤
Brilliant in-depth review Chris! Thank you!
Best review I’ve seen on this camera yet. Great job.
My first time seeing one of your videos. Really impressive. Liked and subscribed!
Thank you very much for this great review and the time and effort you put into it, Chris. You are doing this so well. Congratulations.
Simply the best video on the x100vi. Amazing work. Love that u showed the bokeh ability and close focusing.
Best camera review i have seen in a long time. Always in a happy way that helps my day. Thank you.😊
Thanks for this intro into the X100VI! the best I’ve seen thus far!
Tremendous review - well worth the wait! Thanks! I bought a used x-t5 a few months ago and came to the same conclusion as you. Really happy with my purchase and several used lenses.
Best review by far... congratulations and so many thanks.
Oh man, what a great review, much better than any others. I hardly can believe so extensive knowledge. Simply awesome work. Thank you, Chris!
Thank you for another thorough initial walk through and review of this camera. Your efforts are appreciated and makes you stand out from other reviewers!!
Can't wait to pick mine up tomorrow morning from my local shop! Great vid as always, you've been a big help as I get back into Fujiland after being away for a few years.
Very well done, Chris! Far more thorough than ANY other videos currently out on UA-cam!
Thank you sir for the thorough and detailed review. Really appreciate your hard work and effort to put this together with all the testing.
You're my go-to FujiFilm related channel. Thank you for your content!
Thats an amazingly thorough and informative video for the short time you had the camera. Thank you.
The best review I have watched so far on the Fujifilm X100VI .. great work and thanks for the inputs
You are the best in creating reviews! You did great as always! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Chris, another fantastic review, setting the bar for everyone else. Thank you for taking such care in making this film.
Thanks for the excellent review Chris. Your work is always great but this video is one of your best - despite the pressure and anticipation you must have been feeling from everyone out there (and the tech problems). Thank you so much for all your expertise and good humour and devotion to giving us what we need out here in Fujiland.
Really good review! Thank you so much for putting your time into making this!
Excited to get mine tomorrow! Thanks for the video.
A master review in my opinion. I really enjoyed and I learn a lot at the same time. Thank you 🙏🙏
Best X100vi review and best camera review i've seen! Very thorough and i'm learning so much! 💚
Great review! Thank you for all the hard work you put in with the limited time you had to test it out.
I have watched a ton of videos about the new Fujifilm X100VI and this is one of the best. Many Thanks
Amazing coverage of the camera - thank you! I've pre-ordered one and it will be my travel camera when I go travelling later this year on the basis that it's a great hybrid shooter with the built-in ND
Thank you for doing this video. I have been watching all videos on the VI since release but this is the only in depth one out there. I have one on pre order, I own the x100f so it’s a big step up when I finally get my hands on one. Great job.
Best honest review of the X100vi I have seen so far. I know you never had any of the X100 cameras but I hope you will do more videos on this one as I have pre ordered and am waiting for mine to arrive.
THE Best review of this camera by far! - Thank you!
Best review!!! I've watched couple videos few days ago. But yours is the best!!!
Always best Fuji reviews from Chris!❤
Best review of this product and any tech product I have seen in years! Professional, honest and detailed.
Hi Chris. Another great video and review. Thank you so much for doing these videos. I have my X100 VI on pre order so you have raised my enthusiasm and excitement for its arrival. Thanks again and that is one super cute puppy you have there. Best wishes from the UK. 😀
Nice and thorough review. The best I’ve seen.
Love your closing thoughts. There really is something to love about shooting with this little camera. Makes me want to take more pictures also! Feels so much more like play to me.
Great job with this review. Your review is, by far, the most comprehensive and complete among all that I’ve watched on UA-cam. Thanks for that.
I’ve been an X100V shooter since 2020 and have loved the camera so much that I take it with me in all my families trips and vacations. I will make the purchase of the VI within the year and still keep my V.
Thank you so much for this both informative and entertaining introduction of the new Fuji X100VI. Once again you‘ve done a great job. Greetings from Berlin, Germany.
As usual awesome video. When I was new to the Fujifilm system 3 years ago you had all the answers for my very novice questions and ever since almost on a weekly basis you have answered all of my questions. Thanks for being a great and essential lifeline 🙏
Best video of the much anticipated x100 vi. Bravo 🙌🏻
Wow! Thank you for the robust “preview”. I pre-ordered the black and silver from different stores and will keep the one that arrives first.
Thank you for another fantastic video. I will be rewatching this when I get mine.
Another great video ! Superb quality Chris !! Thanks 👍🏻
very detailed review of this camera, thank you so much!
Bravo. By far, the most thorough and informative "early" review of this camera. And I watched dozens of them. Thank you so much.
Just for a week of you using x100vi. The amount of things I've learned on your video is just divine! Thank you Chris! I'm loving my x100vi and this video help me understand my camera!
Hands down the best video I have seen so far on X100 VI! Your work is thorough and I think there isn't anything that you missed to cover! I am subscribed!
Thorough as always. Great job, Chris! Thank you.
Best technical overview I've seen.
Thanks for pointing out that the microphone jack is on the right side. Sure, it's not a perfect video camera to begin with, but that right there is a showstopper. You literally can't even hold it without additional accessories.
Thanks for bringing us the most clear and insightful videos.
I have watched so many UA-cam vid
eos on this camera and this is first one I’ve watched from beginning to end and feel I have come away from really understanding the camera.
Kudos to you👏🙏
Fantastic video as always, I've been looking forward to this one and it didn't disappoint!
@pal2tech I saw the puppy in the photos. Congrats on the new addition. Lucky puppy to be a part of your fam! We got one recently too. Thanks for the awesome review... I may add this in addition to my X-T5.
Best X100VI review out there :) Well done!
Hello 👋 I discovered your videos yesterday and I love them 😍 you are so talented. Thank you for your hard work bye ✌️
Wow! This is an amazing reciew Chris. So thorough and well done, thank you!
Without doubt, the most concise, well put together review video of this camera on the internet today.
I was in two minds whether to go for the "six", but your superbly put together review has put that to rest.
Ordered and... Subscribed 👍
Your review is simply superb. The best of the best. You covered everything from soup to nuts. I think I am going to like this one. Thanks much.
As usual a very informative presentation. Many thanks for the Walk Through. Having recently bought the XH2 and an owner of the XPro3 and XPro1 Im satisfied with what I have.
Thanks so much for all your hard work and effort in this detailed first look. After seeing many of the UA-cam videos over the first couple of days after the announcement, I realized they had a very superficial look at the camera. On the other hand your analysis is much more well thought-out similar to Gordon Laing’s full reviews. Wish you the best
Thank you so much for your time and effort ! The camera is absolutely beautiful
Awesome review, thanks!
Simply great video! Saving it for a rewatch when I receive the camera. Thanks
This is the best X100VI introduction video I have seen on UA-cam so far. Very comprehensive. Not just a regurgitation of the specs. I have watched your videos over the years and have come to expect a high quality product. This did not disappoint. I got mine the day it came out and have been thrilled with what it can do. Now, after watching your video, I can't wait to go into NYC later today and test out the features. Who knows, maybe you'll get one and treat us to more X100VI videos;) Thanks.
Amazing review. Thank you! Worth the wait
By far the best intro video for this camera. Great job!
Great review!! Glad I preordered it! 🎉🔥
awesome rerview, you are awesome. subscribed and very happy i came across you! 😀
I have watched 8 videos on this camera this is by far the best of them all. You even bring out features no one has has caught or touched upon. Thank you for your passion and detailed work.
What a expansive and informative video, I now feel I have a much better grip on what I’ll be buying. Thank you 🙏
Excellent video as usual.
Thank you
Now *that’s* a review! Hugely helpful.
An excellent summary.You're my first go to on Fujifilm.Thanks Chris.
Thank you, Chris for your thoroughness of your vids. Love your channel ❤
Pal, this review was out of the park! Worth the long wait for sure. 👍
This is probably the best and most detailed review of this camera so far, great video
