Official: Fujifilm X100VI camera
I pre-ordered from Kenmore Camera about 2 weeks ago and got mine yesterday.
I had one about 6 months ago, loved it, took it to Peru and I'd say it gave me some of the best travel/street shots I've ever taken.

At the time I had a Q2 and a Q already and wanted to consolidate and hadn't tried the Q3. Sold the x100 and Q's and bought the Q3. After a few trips it was obvious I don't like shooting the Q3 much, I mean, it's as big as my M with a 28 Summilux attached almost, so it doesn't make sense for me. (I usually bring an m and or a fixed lens body for travel)

I just couldn 't stop thinking about the x100vi.

I agree with the post above regarding the AF-C, it works really well for me (with wide tracking), especially for street, for quick focus on faces.

I also agree that there is something special about shooting a fixed lens body, you're forced to think different, like shooting an RF. This lens, with this sensor on this body though, is really fun.

Nice to have it back in the stable.
