It laid the groundwork for Fuji&#8217;s complete APS-C &#8220;X&#8221; camera system and it remains so popular that they keep updating it every few years, so in 2024 already this 6th generation had been released. Thanks to an internet hype this camera series became so popular, that at some point the prices of used ones were higher than their original prices. Is all that hype justified? Time to find out.<\/p>\n<h2>Sample Pictures<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70303\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70303\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img

2010, one of its main selling points was the hybrid viewfinder that let&#8217;s you switch between an optical finder with electronic rangefinder overlay and an EVF with a press of a button &#8211; by the way something Leica still hasn&#8217;t figured out 15 years later and still claims wouldn&#8217;t work with their M cameras.<\/p>\n<p>To be perfectly honest, I see little to no reason to use the optical finder here. It doesn&#8217;t really tell me more than the EVF and comes with horrible barrel distortion, so I consider this more of an unnecessary gimmick, driving up the production cost. I heard it has some use when using external (non Fuji) flashes though, as it apparently is not affected by the auto exposure preview, so if you are into that, it might still hold some benefit.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70296\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70296\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-70296\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fuji_X100VI_3.jpg\" alt=\"fuji x100vi fujifilm fujicolor eterna acros velvia compact rangefinder digital 40mp 24mp review contrast resolution sharpness bokeh image quality leica q rx1 sony q2 q3\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fuji_X100VI_3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fuji_X100VI_3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fuji_X100VI_3-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70296\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">top controls<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Generally from the first generation the Fuji X100 cameras feature thought through &#8220;retro&#8221; style controls. You have an aperture ring on the lens, a shutter speed dial on top and inside the shutter speed dial an ISO dial. If you wish to adjust the exposure, there is another dial for that to be found on top of the camera.<\/p>\n<p>The aperture ring, ISO dial and shutter speed dial all feature an &#8220;A&#8221; setting, so by different combinations you get all the PASM modes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70297\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70297\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-70297\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fuji_X100VI_4.jpg\" alt=\"fuji x100vi fujifilm fujicolor eterna acros velvia compact rangefinder digital 40mp 24mp review contrast resolution sharpness bokeh image quality leica q rx1 sony q2 q3\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fuji_X100VI_4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fuji_X100VI_4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fuji_X100VI_4-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70297\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fujifilm X100VI with Haoge filter adapter and hood attached<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Out of the box this camera only features a reverse (male) 49mm thread. There are several manufacturers that offer filter adapters for this lens. In the picture above you see a Haoge filter adapter that gives this camera a normal (female) 49mm thread and also includes a small lens hood. Admittedly, I wouldn&#8217;t be using a lens hood on this camera, as I think its small size is its main appeal.<\/p>\n<h2>Autofocus<\/h2>\n<p>Autofocus is a category where every new generation of this camera came with alleged improvements. I didn&#8217;t do any direct side-by-side tests with comparable lenses on other cameras and I also didn&#8217;t use the previous models.<\/p>\n<p>Generally the performance is okay for most use cases and also eye-AF works, but the performance is not on the same level as a Sony A7III (or later) or one of the later Nikon Z cameras.<\/p>\n<p>If you expect great tracking of your child or dog running around, you will probably be disappointed.<\/p>\n<h2>Image Quality<\/h2>\n<h3>Sharpness Infinity<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-70408\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Sharpness_Fujifilm_X100VI_Fujinon_23mm_2.0_II.jpg\" alt=\"fuji x100vi fujifilm fujicolor eterna acros velvia compact rangefinder digital 40mp 24mp review contrast resolution sharpness bokeh image quality leica q rx1 sony q2 q3\" width=\"800\" height=\"1619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Sharpness_Fujifilm_X100VI_Fujinon_23mm_2.0_II.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Sharpness_Fujifilm_X100VI_Fujinon_23mm_2.0_II-148x300.jpg 148w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Sharpness_Fujifilm_X100VI_Fujinon_23mm_2.0_II-632x1280.jpg 632w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Sharpness_Fujifilm_X100VI_Fujinon_23mm_2.0_II-768x1554.jpg 768w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Sharpness_Fujifilm_X100VI_Fujinon_23mm_2.0_II-759x1536.jpg 759w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70407\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70407\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-70407\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fujifilm_X100VI_Sharpness_Infinity_8.0.jpg\" alt=\"fuji x100vi fujifilm fujicolor eterna acros velvia compact rangefinder digital 40mp 24mp review contrast resolution sharpness bokeh image quality leica q rx1 sony q2 q3\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fujifilm_X100VI_Sharpness_Infinity_8.0.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fujifilm_X100VI_Sharpness_Infinity_8.0-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Fujifilm_X100VI_Sharpness_Infinity_8.0-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70407\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fujifilm X100VI | f\/8.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>With the fifth generation (X100V) Fuji updated the lens they have used since the original Fuji X100.

You can change between mechanical and electronic shutter and it seems the mechanical shutter is a bit too slow for some of the faster shutter speeds. If you set the camera to automatic shutter, starting at 1\/2000s it will use the electronic one, but between 1\/1000s and 1\/2000s the mechanical shutter will be used and it still has a detrimental affect on the bokeh rendering, as can be seen from the following comparison:<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"osc-res-tab tabbable   osc-tabs-left\"><div style=\"clear:both;width: 100%;\"><ul class=\"nav

When hooking up your camera to a computer you can edit the Fuji Raw files with those different profiles and camera settings, so you can get Jpegs with all the film simulations later on, e.g. if you were not happy with the results you get in your Raw developer of choice.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>The X100 series has a lot of fans and for good reasons. It manages to appeal as &#8220;vacation&#8221; camera to professional photographers (thanks to its many external controls) and also to amateurs (thanks to its likable out-of-camera results) &#8211; a delicate balancing act.<\/p>\n<p>It packs many features &#8211; some gimmicky &#8211; that many users will never need or use, but they are there and they work. With the many dials it is easy to change the settings if you like to and they also behave as you would expect: you set a certain value on a dial, and this is what you will get. You can also just set all the dials to &#8220;A&#8221; and won&#8217;t have to bother dealing with the settings at all, if you don&#8217;t feel like that.<\/p>\n<p>The out of camera Jpegs might indeed be a bit nicer than what you get from other manufacturers &#8211; depending on what you are looking for. For me personally the Raw editing is an integral part of my workflow and also with this camera I can get better results (and results that fit my taste better) than what I can get with any of the in camera profiles. But not everyone has the knowledge or the time to deal with the raw development and I can see why this camera may appeal more to those people.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, on closer inspection the image quality is not all that amazing. The lens seems to struggle with the high pixel count and at higher ISO settings strong noise reduction kicks in and the colors also fall apart faster than what I am used to from current fullframe Bayer sensors. For small prints to put in the vacation album this probably won&#8217;t matter much though, but I would probably say the same about the latest generation of smartphones.<\/p>\n<p>Being able to fit this Fujifilm X100 cameras in a jacket or even jeans pocket is really its main selling point in my opinion. If this is not that important to you, the price\/performance ratio takes a massive hit, as a Sony A7c with a Zeiss 35mm 2.8 or <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-sony-fe-40mm-2-5-g\/\">Sony FE 40mm 2.5 G<\/a> is roughly the same price and also size. Yes, those lenses protrude a bit more, but you also have a more capable and versatile camera in hand.<\/p>\n<p><em>buy from <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4i6EK6A\">amazon.com<\/a> | <a
