"As for saying that the Images look overcooked....I blame that on user error. There is of course a difference between the camera sensor you tried but man..."
Sometimes the "user" has the skills, knows what they are doing, and is just having a different experience than you.

There is no day and night difference between these cameras and the original Film Simulations. So if his images look bad suddenly, he messed up somewhere. Learn to use the new camera.

To each their own, he's just dropping his two cents. If anything, it offers greater insight and context as to why for some, it just isn't the camera that people have hyped it out to be. So what if he's complaining? Since last I checked, Fred Miranda isn't located in communist Russia where freedom of speech isn't allowed.

You would think from the long critique that it was the worst camera ever. But millions like it, and surely I have nevert seenn anyone mention that the output is any different to other Fujis.
So one person out of step with the army, why would they think their opinion is even worth 2 cents?

I have had the F, V and now the VI - I used to take on my business trips overseas. Some of my favorite shots, but recently, haven't been gelling - been digging my XT5 with the Voigtlanders for a small kit - just having more fun with them. May sell it if Fuji ever releases an XPro4 that has features I want 
Understand - my issue though isn't the files or AF.... I just like the voigt lenses more.

Hey everyone, if anyone has owned this camera, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Right now I have two Sony bodies — an a7R V and an a7 IV. Those are purely work cameras for me; for fun and quick snapshots they're just not the move. I don't love editing photos - or maybe I do, but it ends up taking me half a year 😄 This camera caught my eye because it has those nice built-in filters and you can just shoot without overthinking it and still get beautiful colors.
Does it make sense to pick one up for quick, colorful, good-looking photos on weekends - walking around the city or out with my wife?

I got sucked into the hype actually twice. Tried to like it because i was desperate for an Rx1riii ( which i never thought was coming). Then I bought an XE5. I would never go back at this point. If Sony added IBIS and had an RV screen I would have bought an RX1riii. But they ruined it. I'm very happy with the XE5 for what I use it for. Hoping the XT6 will complement it nicely.

The ability to really tweak recipes is rather limited and I always either did a low-edit pass on JPEGs or just edited the RAWs instead. If you're not averse to creating a quick LR preset or two to tone curve/saturate a bit more than the camera, then you can get away with decent JPEGs.

Take you own advice and “move on” Chez.
As I wrote in a PM to him saying that I would refrain from replying to his bizarre post if he would remove it:
I DID “move on.”
If you checked the date on the post of mine that you quoted, it was posted 9 days ago, and and then I “moved on” and have not posted anything in the thread since.
Since yours is currently the final post in the thread, perhaps you’d like to simply delete it, in which case I won’t post a response to it.

I’ve bought and sold the X100VI twice, so I can relate. I’m sticking with my A7CR for now. It’s definitely bigger once you attach a lens, even a compact one, but I still prefer it overall.
I thought I’d love the film recipes too, but they don’t work in every situation, and I found myself editing the photos in Lightroom anyway.

I hope you’ll accept an opinion from a former X-Pro2 shooter, which is like the interchangeable lens version of the X100 cameras. It’s great for casual shooting if you like the 35mm-equivalent focal length.
Fuji’s film sims are great and for a while I used them instead of editing raws in Lightroom. I personally found myself enjoying Acros a lot, but for colourful you might like the Provia (standard), Velvia (bold) or Astia (soft, good for portraits) modes. They have some quirkier sims too, some of which are deliberately less saturated. The in-camera editing UI is quite flexible and user-friendly enough and it’s easy to make JPEGs out of raw files in camera.
Fuji has a winner with these cameras and I’m a bit surprised that other companies haven’t been quicker to try and compete. Leica has done a decent job with the Q series, but those are expensive cameras.

I've owned the x100vi a few times now, it might even be more than 3, but I always would flip for a small profit on FB Marketplace so it never stuck, but I think I always expected too much from the camera. This time it's has a clearly defined role that I don't think I can fill with a different camera except maybe Ricoh and I like an EVF/OVF.
I needed a camera that will fit in a 3L or 4L hip bag when I'm mountain biking, a hip belt pouch on my backpacking bag as an always accessible camera while backpacking, and something I can toss in a ski jacket pocket when I'm cross country or downhill and don't want to carry a backpack. Travel implications are obvious so there's that too. I always told myself if I could buy it new from Best Buy I would pick it up (I get two years accidental damage warranty with all my BBY purchases).
I learned about the website Trackalacka and plugged it in and had it track best buy and boom, within my trial period of the program I had a new 100vi at 1799 being delivered, financed for 24 months with 0% and a 60 day return window if I change my mind
Now my dilemma is what to do with my Q2. I think it and the MP240 get sold and parlayed into M10r.

I’ve tried to love fixed-lens cams and just can’t get there. My solution is small lenses on a small body. Current solution is a Sony A7Cii with either a Viltrox 26mm pancake EVO or 50/2 AIR. Advantage is either lens fits in a coat pocket and the cam with lens on it fits in the other—yes biggish, but it fits.

I really liked the Sony G 2.5 lenses. Not as cheep as a Viltrox but enjoyed them. I just can't stand Sony cameras user interfaces so sold my A7CII. Great it works for you.

Clearly Sony could take a lesson from Fuji on menu UI design, no disagreement. But they’ve come a long way since early mirrorless in both ergos and UI, to the point now I can happily manage with them for the various ways I shoot. I also really appreciate having a full frame sensor in a small camera, along with lenses that interchange with my bigger body. It’s for these reasons I made the switch.

Oh God, Fuji's got arguably the worst menus in all of cameras. They have dragged a decade of new features and stuffed them into incomprehensible corners of the UI, all with an extra layer of translation confusion requiring more than looking up the feature in the user manual to understand exactly what they do.
