Our editorial take on the FUJIFILM X100VI

The Fujifilm X100VI builds upon a well-regarded series, notably integrating 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) for the first time. Its fixed 23mm f/2 lens, equivalent to 35mm in full-frame terms, offers a classic street photography focal length. The camera pairs a 40.2MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor with an X-Processor 5, aiming for high resolution and improved performance.

Video capabilities include internal 6.2K recording at 30p in 10-bit color, which represents a significant upgrade. The camera also features enhanced autofocus and a tilting 3-inch touchscreen LCD. Weighing approximately 1.1 lbs with battery and recording media, it maintains a compact form factor for its class.

This model targets users looking for a portable camera with advanced imaging and video capabilities, particularly those who value a fixed prime lens setup and the benefits of in-body image stabilization in a traditional design.

Best for: This camera is best for photographers and videographers who prioritize a compact form factor, a fixed prime lens, and advanced imaging features including in-body stabilization and high-resolution video.

2025 Photo Gear of the Year, with Kevin Rickert | B&H eXplora

To follow up on a trend discussed last year, we start out with a nod to point-and-shoots, a craze that, according to Kevin, has “become fever pitch.” To expand on this theme, we look back in time to when digital point-and-shoots were losing ground to the ubiquitous camera phone, leading to Mike’s theory that the current digicam trend is “real nostalgia for mid-aughts frivolity.”
