p.28 #1X100VI first impressions + running commentary
bought my X100VI in May, but hadn't really used it at all until this trip to Iceland.
it was the main work horse and I loved it. it was great not to have to bring a tripod along.
all images are handheld, SOOC JPEGS (other than throwing my watermark thing on it), Cuban Classic Negative film sim
IBIS and the weather sealing worked out great. literally walked inside waterfalls with no protection. no issue. and obviously love not having to edit images at the end of a trip

In the photo with the clock, did you add blur to the background in post?

It's extremely obvious that it was added in post.

For me Astia gives the true to life skin tones. And if I want more warmth there's Nostalgic Negative.

Talk about a camera no one would be able to cop.

ok, after reading through these many pages of this thread, I decided to pick up one tomorrow.
The dealer has it reserved for me for only one day, I have until tomorrow afternoon to make up my mind.
I am also eligible for Fuji Education program, which takes off $100. So I will check it out then.

I normally shoot head and shoulders images with an 85mm preferably 135mm lens (for FF format). But ever since I got the RF 24-70/2.8 with my Canon R6MKII I've been shooting some at 70mm. So when I got the X100VI I thought the same at 70mm.

Hopefully a little better than the x100 since the x100 is appealing to everyone thanks to social media hype. Not having to worry about interchangeable lenses is probably appealing to those new to photography as well.

I am thinking about buying one of these as a travel camera. Does any owner feel, at least at times, restricted by the fixed focal length?

Yes, sometimes I wish it had a 24mm although that is available as an add-on lens. Having said that I can't wait to bring my X100VI to cruises.

I don't know. I waited four months to get mine (got it in June) here in Canada.
