Fujifilm X100VI Shipping Status: 75% of Orders Shipped (via FR) and Production Increase Completed in Summer

Fujifilm X100VI Shipping

I keep getting questions from fellow FR-readers about the shipping situation for the Fujifilm X100VI.

Well, I do not have any privileged insights. But I know what Fujifilm told us:

Other than that, I can’t say more.

But what I can do is to look up at the BHphoto preorders done via FujiRumors and give you some data.

DISCLAIMER: these are orders made using our Fujifilm X100VI affiliate links and as such they represent only the reality on FujiRumors, which is just an imperceptible drop of water in the vast ocean of X100VI preorders. This means that the shipment data we share today is not representative (nor probably anywhere near to realistic) for the worldwide shipment data.

With that said, let’s check it out.

According to our data I can say that so far BHphoto was able to ship out 75% (actually 75,05%) of all X100VI ordered via FujiRumors affiliate link. This means that 25% of you guys, who ordered via FujiRumors, are still waiting to get yours shipped.

Given the circumstances, 75% shipped X100VI cameras in 3 months is not so bad. Maybe FR-readers are also just well organised you guys made sure to quickly pre-order the X100VI right in the first minutes/hours after launch in order to be high on the waiting list.

Anyway, there are 25% of you guys waiting, but with the production increase incoming I hope that at least within summer you’ll get your camera.

The Fujifilm X100VI is a fantastic piece of gear and I am sure you’ll have lots of joy with it…

… and if not, you can always sell it overpriced on the web :D

 

Adobe Can’t Wait and Adds Reala Ace Support for X-T5 & Co Already!

Now, I can’t verify it myself, because I switched 100% to Capture One a long time ago because I did not like the way Adobe was taking (just as I don’t like what’s going with Capture One lately and I am not sure I will stick with Capture One much longer… but that’s off topic).

Anyway, since I don’t own Adobe products, I rely on reports I am getting via email from fellow FR-readers. And those reports say this:

Reala Ace now available in Adobe Camera Raw – I just upgraded to the newest version of Adobe Camera Raw, and I noticed that Reala Ace is now available for the RAW files from my X-T5 when processing them in Adobe Camera Raw.

Fujifilm itself will give us 5th generation X shooters Reala Ace via firmware update this summer. But it’s great to know that, if you are editing your RAW files, you can enjoy that film simulation already on Fujifilm X-T5 and I hear also other 5th generation cameras such as the Fujifilm X-H2.

Fujifilm to Introduce C2PA Content Authenticity to X and GFX Cameras

I did not report about it in a dedicated article, because this was part of what was included in the Fujifilm GFX100S II press release. But given the emails I am getting I thought I dedicate it an own article.

So yes, Fujifilm is going to bring C2PA / CAI content authenticity to X and GFX cameras via firmware update to several cameras in future. C2PA / CAI is an initiative formed to address the widespread issue of digital content manipulation by establishing standards for certifying the source and authenticity of media.

Is the Fujifilm X-T50 the Best Looking Fujifilm Camera? – VOTE NOW

Somewhere in the comments somebody claimed: the Fujifilm X-T50 is now the best looking camera among X series cameras.

And while I totally agree that Fujifilm X-T50 has gained in sexiness with its new rounded design over the more boxy design of its predecessors, I am not sure if I’d call it the best looking one.

It would certainly be very high in the ranking for my taste, but I believe the Fujifilm X100VI still holds the throne as best looking Fujifilm camera.

Is this essential to know which X series camera is the best looking one?

Nope

Does it change the fate of the photography universe?

I don’t think so.

But it adds a bit of uplifting lightness into a discussion that is often way to heated in the photography forums, where we battle about the curve quality of the bokeh balls in the top right corner of the image and where we count the number of false color pixels after a 27 stops shadow recovery.

So, feel free to add lightness to this world by telling us in the survey and in the comments which camera you consider the most beautiful one.
