This is the Sensor of the Fujifilm X100VI
Back in April 2023, I made a list of which sensor I’d like in which future Fujifilm camera.
And I am happy to hear from trusted and new sources (THANKS!!!), that Fujifilm fulfilled my wish in terms of sensor for the Fujifilm X100VI.
So which one is it?
Well, according to trusted as well as new sources, Fujifilm will put the lovely 40MP X-Trans V sensor into the Fujifilm X100VI.
The additional resolution will allow you to crop in more into the files, which can be useful at times and just a bit more of flexibility to the fixed lens concept of the X100.
Of course provided that the lens is actually capable of resolving all those 40MP, which I have no doubts about, because it is a fairly new lens (refreshed with the X100V) and because I doubt Fujifilm would have used the 40MP sensor on the Fujifilm X100VI, if the lens would not have been capable to take advantage of it.
And since the lens on the X100VI is the same of the X100V, you’ll also be able to use the Fujifilm WCL-X100 and TCL-X100 conversion lenses on the Fujifilm X100VI.
So, more crop capability plus conversion lenses give a little bit extra flexibility to the Fujifilm X100VI.
And also the dynamic range will profit from the new 40MP sensor a bit.
