I’ve already preordered mine 🫠
Whether I keep it will depend on the total in hand experience. I could still be very happy with the V if the VI proves to be disappointing, but I doubt that will be the case. All we know about the VI paints a picture of a modernized, polished V which is exactly what I’m wanting from it.

It looks like the new X100VI will get the 40MP X-Trans 5 sensor and in-body stabilization. Do you think the resolution of the EVF will be upgraded? It appears that the lens will stay unchanged.

Yes. I'm staying up late and ordering as soon as I can on the 20th. I had the original X100 which I got in April 2011. I had to order it from Japan as it was the year of the big Tsunami in Japan and they were hard to find even then when they were first announced. I was leaving for Venice late April and it was a great camera for walking around in the evening there. It was sort of a pain of a camera at the time, slow focus, missed focus. Yet it was so light and cute I kept it for a few years and a few years later I bought the X100F. Though around 2014 I replaced it with the Sony RX1 and later RX1RII.
As Fuji went on to create many cameras since and I have had several models, though I didn't get the X100V even though I thought about getting one several times. I have had an alert from B&H for over a year and they have sent me an email every 2 weeks that they are still not available.
I am leaning towards silver though the black looks nice too.

I wouldn’t be surprised about anything to be honest. Fuji would do well to include the same upgraded EVF from the XH2, as all of the “guts” of the X100VI will match that camera. I suspect the smaller battery wouldn’t play well with this EVF though.
That said, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Fuji reuse the entire X100V OVF/EVF parts assembly to save costs. All of the rumors point to reuse of these elements. I for one never use the OVF on mine and would be glad to see this go. My square lens hood obstructs about 20% of the FOV.
I’ll be getting a black unit for what it’s worth. Fuji’s silver paint looks exceedingly cheap to me.

When I realized that an X100V is about the same size as my X-T5 I started thinking that one of the two Voigtlander pancakes would serve me better. Probably the new 18mm/2.8, as I find that focal length far more useful than the 27, but I suppose I could do both....

Based on the various rumors, the things we can expect as logical advances from previous models, and educated guesses… it looks like it will be a fine camera, but one with appeal to a particular niche or two of buyers.
I’ve used predecessors and liked the concept a lot along wiht Fujifilm’s execution.
What’s might hold me back?
1. While there are situations in which I could do fine with the singe focal length fixed lens, I also need an interchangeable lens camera… so it would mean having two Fujifilm APS-C bodies, and…
2. … when I put the 27mm f/2.8 on my XT5, that turns out to be a pretty small package. The X100vi will be a bit smaller, but not sure if it is enough smaller to justify the…
3. …not insignificant expense for a camera that would be more of a secondary (fun) tool. The cost appears to be close to that of a XT5 body — that’s a lot of money.

No there are plenty of other apparently blind people on social media as well. The comments sections have been baffling, it’s looks identical in form to the X100V from the front.

Am I the only one who thinks those teasers - especially the first one - look more like an X Pro body?

No I'm more into interchangeable lens cameras. Don't currently have fuji, so didn't vote
Thinking in ought to pick up X-T1 last night, I often use older bodies, and it's about the same as later X-T series, as far as weight, using 27 pancake. Might be a good option for some if you're really concerned about the weight and don't want to wait

I have always thought I could be happy for 90% of my photography with a 35mm FF equivalent and an 75mm-90mm F2 or 2.8 equivalent. Therefore one X100 series plus a fuji X or X-pro mirrorless with a longer lens would be the perfect small and light set up.

Love the camera. Not sure it makes sense for me....Show more →

I've tried to justify it that way, too. Since I most often shoot with just the 27mm f2.8, the logic was that I would be fine with just the X1009(something) as my primary, and then I'd use the second body with other focal lengths.
But I can just pop the 27mm off the XT5 and use those other lenses already. That's lighter, smaller (and less expensive) than adding the 23mm-only additional camera.
For a lot of us, the X100 series is an enigma. They are — to repeat myself — wonderful little cameras and perform beautifully. But I think that for quite a few buyers it isn't about necessity or matching camera to needs so much as it is succumbing to the subjective attraction of the little camera, something that reminds some of us of old-school fixed-lens rangefinder cameras we used to use decades ago.
That's a nice feeling, and one that was rekindled for me when I used X100 bodies a few times. But when I stop and think about how I actually photograph... I keep coming back to the realization that, for me at least, that's a lot of money to get something not that much different from putting the 27mm on my XT5.

Looks like you’re doing Fuji marketing research, Fred. Thought you were a Sony and Leica guy.
This is just for fun.
I also use Fuji cameras, and I've been thinking about getting one of the X100 series. However, for a compact set-up, I really enjoy shooting with the X-E4 because it allows me to swap lenses, particularly the compact ones made by Voigtlander, like the 18mm and 27mm pancakes. With these lenses, the X-E4 ends up being about the same weight as the X100V and is very similar in size.

I wish it were different. The camera is lovely....Show more →
The limitation is the fixed lens, but the advantage is being able to use an optical viewfinder with the X100 series. The X-Pro series, on the other hand, offers both the ability to change lenses and an optical viewfinder, but it's not as small as the X100 or X-E series.
