Fujifilm X100VI Silver

With the Fujifilm X100V I take sharp and creative photos with little effort, which is why I like to take it with me on the road. I just don't zoom in and out with the fixed 23mm lens.

Compact model with large sensor
I best describe the Fujifilm X100VI as a system camera in the guise of a compact camera. This makes this the ideal camera for traveling for me. It is small and light, which makes it easier for me to take with me than my large system camera with different lenses. I am very satisfied with the image quality. The camera has a large 40 megapixel APS-C sensor. This has 2 advantages for me: I take clear photos in low light and I crop the photos without loss of quality. If I'm not happy with the frame, I easily crop the photo afterwards. I do think it is a shame that the camera does not have a zoom lens. It has a wide 23mm wide-angle lens, so I always have to stand close when photographing details. For example, I do not capture animals in the distance.

Sharp images and image stabilization
A big advantage of the X100VI is the built-in image stabilization. Its predecessor, the popular X100V, did not have this. Thanks to the image stabilization, I can photograph with longer shutter speeds without motion blur. I especially like this when I go out with my camera in the evening. This way I still take clear photos. This also allows me to record smooth images while filming. You don't see any vibrations from my hands. This way I feel free to walk around with the camera and film the surroundings, for example when I make an aftermovie of my trip. Due to the high video resolution, I also find the camera suitable for vlogs. I film razor-sharp images with lots of details in 6.2K.

Movie Simulations
The Film Simulations cannot be missing on a Fujifilm camera. The X100VI has 3 new Film Simulations. In total I choose from 20 different filters. I really like the effect of the different simulations. This gives my photos a vintage look. The new Reala Ace simulation is my favorite. This filter provides realistic colors with high brightness. I also like to use the popular Classic Chrome filter, which makes my photos look like they were taken with an analog camera. Thanks to the Film Simulations, I immediately post my photos to Instagram, I don't edit them on my laptop. I also like to use the Film Simulations for videos, which makes my images look less flat.

After selling my Canon R6 I wanted something more compact and not to have to lug around all those different lenses but something that would give me sharp images so I ended up with this device and so began the 10 month search because believe me these devices are not easy to find, until it was in stock at Coolblue and I did not hesitate for a moment and so far I have not regretted it for a moment.
