I have owned all versions, and currently have the V since release. As much as the new specs of the VI seems all well and good, I think this will be 1st time I skip the release of a new X100.
If this is going to be your only camera, then I feel its worth it to have the VI's features for the price. Great balance of TECH with great fit/feel and dont overlook how sexy it is. It is a niche product and can be hard to understand why these are so popular, until you own one.
The VI is definitely checking many boxes, but for me in comparison to V I have, the IBIS is the main upgrade and I already have that in my other system cameras I own.
That is a good point -- if people own other systems, this is not a huge upgrade. If I think I'll need IBIS or I'm shooting video, I'm going to bring the XT4 and more lenses and leave the 100V at home.
But if the 100VI is the only thing I am bringing with me all day, more megapixels and IBIS can't hurt.
For me the main drawback of my 100V is the f2 lens. I wish it were f1.4, but I get why it's not. If you are someone who likes more control over depth of field, there are better options out there. The relatively small EVF is more "fine" than "great" as well.
