I would want to recommend it to anybody.
Instead, I can say the X100VI unlocked a love for photography that I thought had become dormant.

Though weve seen this before.

Unfortunately, the X100VI costs $200 more than the X100Vs starting price four years ago.
How Does it Feel to Shoot with the Fujifilm X100VI?
The best camera advice I ever received was get closer, get lower.

I dont remember who told me that.
Its not perfect advice.
It all comes down to composition, and thats where the small-sized Fujifilm series excels.

Ive said it before in myFreewrite Alphareview.
Restrictions can help breed creativity.
I lost that over the years.
The Fujifilm X100VI brought it back in a new, unexpected way.
I was constantly looking for new angles and ways to use the natural light to my advantage.
Of course, theres going to be slight imperfections.
While the main body looks like a film camera, it doesnt exactly feel like youre shooting with one.
Theres not enough tactile feel, even when opting for the fake shutter sound.
Its not asking for much, especially considering that the X100VI is $200 more expensive than its predecessor.
What is the Image Quality on the Fujifilm X100VI?
Youll want to go heavy on the file size because the camera takes very detailed photos.
The X100VI also leans heavily on its strong depth of field parameters for close-up shots.
Even in automatic parameters, the camera is very, very good at picking out the correct subject.
The Fujifilm menus arent the most esoteric in the camera world, but I still wouldnt call them newb-friendly.
Just like anything, it takes patience and practice to understand your camera.
I was also satisfied with the IBIS when shooting the video.
Who is the Fujifilm X100VI For?
Despite that, its not exactly the perfect video camera for everything.
For everyone else, youd have to understand where a single-lens shooter fits into your life.
Does the jump in MP result in better photos?
Yes, but only by the nature of the jump in resolution.
Its compact and easy to whip out whenever the inspiration strikes.
I know whatever photo I take will look good, even in automatic parameters.
