I’ve played around with the Fuji X RAW Studio app a bit, saving custom recipes I already had keyed into the camera, but i did NOT realize that 1) you can input/modify recipes right there in the app, AND THEN 2) upload those recipes to the camera. This makes setting up, testing, and selecting recipes SO much easier! Thanks for that technical insight Jason - brilliant!

Everyone I show Classic Neg, Accros, Eterna are blown away at the unique look. Plus no long times spent editing RAWS. In order to choose the 3 Film Simulations to shoot from BKT you have to go to the camera icon (3rd from the top below AFMF) and go to page 2 and choose "FILM SIMULATION BKT" From there you choose which Film Simulation for FILM 1 FILM 2 FILM 3. That's it.

hey just wondering which version of peak design anchor is that? Mine doesnt seem to fit it
Great video Jason! What a little powerhouse of a camera. I’ve used the X100V for pro video work and it slaps! I used it in place of my main camera because it was mostly b-roll and the X100V was smaller/discrete so places didn’t seem to care that I was filming. I’m sure the new camera completely blows it away. Also when is the single dropping 🎧🎶

Performance-wise a7C II is a lot better in every regards. But X100VI is incredibly fun! Especially if you don’t want to edit! The JPEGs already look so good
has the new firmware update helped the auto focus?
Which one would be better to take in 2024? Photograph or videography Sony a7iii or sony a7c??? One choice??

i agree on AFC focus. so much different from Sony camera. a few photo using AFC ended up back focused photo. i was pretty sure it nailed focus when snap the picture. Fuji just release a firmware update for X100vi. can u update review the AFC on this camera? initial testing from me was okay. but maybe your testing can be more thorough.

Your review is until now the most unique on this X100VI - awesome job both of you! I totally agree, the video features on the X100VI seems something not a lot of users are using, because they see it mainly as photo camera (specially for streets). But it is simply awesome to have these feature in such a small camera. But the MUCH more important question for me is: how the hell did you managed to get the Peak Design ankers on to the X100VI without the rings? I tried several times and can't do it. It was possible on my Leica cameras, but not on the X100 😅

To be honest, isnt getting like a xT-4 great enough? If im gonna spend so much on a point and shoot 😮
I bought it because I’ve found with my film photography that I was taking my 35mm 2.8 lens pocket cameras more than my SLRs and wanted something digital that would do the same. Add in weather sealing, ibis, 40mp… it was a no brainer to replace my Olympus em-10ii.
The lens on this camera is not very good tho. F2 is too soft and it has weird artifacts in the background. Wish they updated the lens. I actually prefer the image quality on the Ricoh GRIII more than my X100VI
Ordered some time the end of Feb and I’m still waiting 🙃 I think it was the wrong move ordering on B&H.

Hmm, I'm surprised by your review as especially for video it doesn't seem like a great choice, I was interested in this camera but from my research: Outdated lens with loud/slow focusing (audible if recording video), cannot resolve 40MP wide open, 35mm f/3 FF equivalent so no selfies or landscape or wildlife, a bit tight indoors, limited background separation in full body or even portrait, lower dynamic range than an iPhone 15Pro (tested by CINED), poor-ish low light performance, noisy sensor, no flip screen, poor battery life so you have to buy/bring spares (and potentially remove the tripod plate to swap each time), not great for videography (massive crop in 4k60 or 6.2k, awful rolling shutter, no 3.5mm mic input, ports block grip, drop in dynamic range in higher resolutions), subpar autofocus (improved but far from Sony/Canon), slow performance with film simulations, low resolution hybrid evf, no lens hood / ability to add filters / weather sealing / grip without additional costs, etc, etc. It’s not for me but it is a very pretty camera :) - I had an X-T3 and X-S20 which I loved, but since trying Sony full frame, there's no going back, the jump in quality, usability, convenience is immense and cameras like the ZV-E1 / A7CII can be damn near as small with a compact f/2.8 prime. I totally agree about screwing on filters but then again unless it's a VND it's usually pointless for video anyway?
You are hilarious. Most fun x100vi video on YT. 😂
Great Video!!
Wide AF is actually terrible on this camera, but the rest works well enough for me. Also I highly recommend the official Fuji leather case. It give you just that little bit of extra grip, also around the thumb area. Loving the X100VI, its my EDC. I've hardly used my X-S10 with lenses after I got it.

Sony rumored 2024 camera release roadmap is confusing me as a canon user migrating to Sony. By any chance could u consider helping newbies out with ur sony expertise by making a roadmap video pretty please 🙏
Having had an x100f for a few year’s alongside my xt3 I decided to preorder the VI, sadly Fuji only supply this camera (like the V) to social media influencers and not loyal customers, as such I purchased a 23mm f2 and stuck it on my xt3, might just he saved myself £1600. Very disillusioned with Fuji, imagine a new iPhone that you couldn’t buy
