X100VI Video 6k 24 in Brooklyn

Took the X100VI out for the first time to shoot. Everything is in 6K 24p using the Eterna film simulation with some highlight/shadow curve adjustments in camera.
First impressions:
- built in ND is sweet, this is the closest thing to a mini FX6
- footage is very sharp, maybe too much, but you can adjust sharpness in camera
- Eterna is nice and very easy to grade, to the point where I might just ditch flog2 so I can shoot wide open at 125 ISO
- video tracking on the default settings can be finicky
- stopping down the aperture is not very smooth and makes changes in exposure very obvious
- the built in mic sounds surprisingly good
All in all, I like using this for video quite a bit. The built in 4-stop ND alone makes it worth it. It also takes some pretty nice photos too.

    i shot 450 photos and around 45 minutes of video over the course of 6 hours on boost power mode and the battery was red. compared to other cameras, it’s... not great. fujifilm opted for the smaller battery so makes sense. it does get a little warm, but i wasn’t too worried about overheating. for travel and having fun, this works for me, but if i were doing anything serious, i’d pick up a more video focused camera.
