SIXTH SENSE As the latest model in a legendary range, the FUJIFILM X100VI has big boots to fill. Machined dials and a tactile top-plate help it exceed expectations
benefit of up to 6.0 stops. This helps deliver smooth video footage, but is also priceless when creating still images in low-light conditions. Plus, handholding at 1/4sec or 1/2sec is completely possible. For occasions when you demand longer shutter speeds – or need to employ a wide aperture in bright conditions – an internal ND filter offers a 4.0-stop reduction in light on stills and video. Further improvements have been made to the autofocus system, which now uses deep-learning AI to broaden the range of trackable subjects, improving hit rate. While all these improvements are welcome, making the X100VI an extremely attractive proposition, it’s the way the camera makes you feel about photography that is the
teleconverters, providing equal to 50mm and 70mm lenses. Film Simulation modes have always been a strong part of the Fujifilm arsenal, and the X100VI adds the latest Reala Ace option. With 20 different choices available, you’re sure to find one that best suits you. As a bonus, all the modes can be fine-tuned to create your own tailor-made look. Previous versions of the X100 Series had video functionality, but the X100VI elevates what’s available. Resolutions up to 6.2K/30p can be recorded internally in 10-bit colour, while 4K/60p and Full HD/240p are also possible. In addition to this, the new model features an in-body image stabilisation system, providing a
camera market for the price. This model is not only good value; it’s leading the way by incorporating key functionality from Fujifilm’s interchangeable-lens models. Resolution is an impressive 40.2 megapixels from the X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor, the same unit as you’ll find in the FUJIFILM X-T5 and X-H2. This sensor is matched with the X-Processor 5 imaging engine, which is also found in the range- topping FUJIFILM GFX100 II. The combination makes for a lightning- fast performance and unbelievable image quality. The extra resolution also gives more cropping options, adding more versatility when editing. If you prefer the perfect result in-camera, the X100VI offers a choice of two digital
FOR ITS 90th anniversary, Fujifilm has produced a camera worthy of celebration. The new FUJIFILM X100VI is the sixth iteration of the model, beginning the X Series range in 2010 – and it’s the best yet. There’s much to admire about the X100VI, but on top of being brought bang up to date with technology and features, it’s worth recognising that Fujifilm has stayed true to the original design of the X100 Series – on this and all previous versions. Sure, there have been some design tweaks from model to model, but they all remain in keeping with the original – a fixed-lens camera with an APS-C sensor and user-focused analogue styling. In this respect, the X100VI offers a unique proposition in the current
real appeal. Stripped back to the bare essentials, it helps you focus on image making; any time spent with the X100VI will bring your creative side straight to the forefront. So if you want to get back to basics – and have the support of the latest technology to get great results – look no further.
