Fujifilm has finally announced the X100VI, the long-awaited successor to the hugely popular X100V, a camera series that arguably revolutionised digital photography and has been almost impossible to get hold of at retail for the last few years. 

Looking practically the same on the outside, the standout feature of the X100V’s successor, the X100VI, is a 40MP BSI CMOS sensor found in Fujifilm’s X-T5 and X-H2, partnered with the same 23mm F2 lens that made the X100V (and its predecessors) so popular.

What else is new?

The X100VI includes IBIS for the first time, offering 6.0EV of correction (but only 5.5EV if you’re using the hybrid viewfinder in optical mode). Better yet, this comes at almost no cost to the physical size of the camera, with the X100VI just 2mm deeper and 43g heavier than the X100V.

Internally, the X100VI features Fujifilm’s latest and greatest X Processor 5, which means it offers many of the same video features as the X-T5, and is, according to the company, “almost” twice as fast as the X100V.

That means 10-bit recording, 6.2K cropped capture, and 4K at up to 30p from the sensor’s full with or at up to 60p with a 1.14x crop. 

Meanwhile, the X100VI also gains a screen with slightly more articulation, and subject recognition AF, and it also relies on the same NP-W126S battery as the previous few X100 models. This is an 8.2Wh battery from which the camera is rated to deliver 450 shots per change using the optical viewfinder or 310 shots with the EVF. 

Other features

Surprisingly, the X100VI still features a UHS-1 SD card slot — pretty slow for a camera in this price bracket in 2024. Speaking of things that are the same, the electronic viewfinder and rear LCD are also unchanged, at 3.69 million and 1.62 million dots, respectively. 

Meanwhile, the X100VI will ship with 20 Fujifilm film simulations, including the ‘Reala Ace’ simulation previously found on the GFX100 II.

Pricing and availability

The X100VI will be available in silver or black and is expected to start shipping in early March. At an RRP of $2,899, the X100VI is $550 more expensive than the X100V was at launch in 2020 ($2,349), although based on the prices even used models have been getting, this shouldn’t be too much of a surprise.

In addition, alongside the standard silver and black models, Fujifilm has announced it will also release a limited-edition version of the camera that’s engraved with the corporate brand logo from Fujifilm’s founding in 1934.

Each of these cameras will have a unique serial number, and the company says they will come packaged in a special, soft-release box that includes a special strap and Fujifilm history cards. You’ll only be able to order this unique version directly from Fujifilm.

We hope to get a review unit of the X100VI soon – watch this space.

The Oak Grove School in Jay County, Indiana was built in 1913. Over 100 years later the school is still standing (at least partially) and is now abandoned. It is an often photographed building, but I can’t say that I’ve ever seen it quite like this.

Jason Kindred is a professional musician turned professional photographer. He is the owner of Aphonic Poetry Images and he captured some beautiful pictures of this once-proud schoolhouse – some are colorful and vibrant, some are dark and bleak, and some are just plain breathtaking.

I can’t seem to find any early photographs of the school, but I can imagine how glorious it was 100 years ago. Even in its current state of disrepair, you can see the detail and craftsmanship that went into building it.

The most notable feature is the school’s tower, not only because it is so beautiful, but also because it is still standing more than a century after being built.

Another reason this particular school seems to be so interesting is its location, which is out in the middle of a field. I mean, there are a few trees in the immediate vicinity, but for the most part, that school is the only thing out there.

More About the Photographer

The schoolhouse pictures are definitely interesting, as is the man who took them. As I mentioned earlier, Jason Kindred – an Indiana boy – is the owner of Aphonic Poetry Images. He does some amazing work, but photography is a rather new occupation for him. We shared a few messages on Facebook, and that’s where he told me…

I’m almost 50 years old and I have found a completely new passion. For years I’ve been the singer in a signed touring band. The older I get, the less appealing it is to drag a thousand pounds of gear around the country and overseas. I would rather just drag around a camera.
