Fujifilm X100VI Teaser 2 Released
Fujifilm has released the second teaser for the upcoming Fujifilm X100VI (first teaser here).
Fujifilm has released the second teaser for the upcoming Fujifilm X100VI (first teaser here).
Let’s be honest for a moment.
The true questions about the Fujifilm X100VI are not if it will have IBIS or not (which we answered), which sensor it will use (which we answered), which lens it will use (which we answered), how big it will be (which we answered), if it will have the new Reala Ace film simulation (which we answered) and not even how much it will cost (which we answered).
That’s all just distraction from the one and only true question that obsesses us these days: Fujifilm X100VI, should I get it in black or in silver?
So I thought a nice survey could help us to clear up our mind regarding this essential question.
My preference? Well, I have a theory.
I believe that Fujifilm rangefinder cameras with OVF (X-Pro and X100 line) look better in silver, whereas rangefinder cameras without OVF (X-E line) look better in all black.
I don’t know why that is, but that’s how I see it.
So, in case of the Fujifilm X100VI, I personally would go for the silver version. But honestly I’d be very happy also with the black one. I guess any version is fine that one can find in store… important is to just find it somewhere in stock :D.
But let me know what you’d take.
They are coming.
Soon they’ll find out.
And once they do, it’s over.
They’ll cause shortages, boost prices and create endless long waiting list.
But we can beat them.
Because the TikTok crowd is not aware of the Fujifilm X100VI (yet).
They don’t follow photography forums or rumor sites.
But it won’t take long until their TikTok idol will tell them about the X100VI.
So all we have is this short time window between announcement and the moment the news of the X100VI spreads on social media.
That’s why, if you want the Fujifilm X100VI, I make a recommendation that I can’t remember I’ve ever done in 12 years of blogging: if you want the X100VI, don’t wait and pre-order it instantly.
Beat the rush. Or risk to endlessly wait for the Fujifilm X100VI.
And remember: you can always send it back within 30 days. Or resell it at twice the price :D
Many asked me when pre-orders are taken. So here is how Fujifilm (usually) does it.
There is the X Summit. You can follow it here on FujiRumors. We will provide the live stream as well as a live summary.
During the X Summit, NO preorders are taken and NO reviews will be shared.
Once the X Summit is over (which could be anytime between 1:00AM and 2:00AM New York time), the embargo on the X100VI will be lifted. Reviews will drop and stores will upload the dedicated X100VI preorder pages.
Of course, as soon as the embargo is lifted, FujiRumors will start the Live Blog, where you’ll find all pre-order links and we will collect all the relevant reviews you should check out.
Yes, we are going to talk about the three cameras. But first you need to know this.
There is one release in just a couple weeks that will overshadow everything else Fujifilm will launch.
Well, at least for me.
Because my second son will be “released” in the next couple of weeks, too :)
So either something I don’t understand right now is going on (for example, could the limited edition X100VI have a different color? Or anything else I just don’t understand now?), or all the others were simply wrong. But I will correct the rumor now, because the regular silver color is still available.
ORIGINAL ARTICLE
It’s already a tough question in life: silver or black?
And well, the question will get even tougher on February 20. Especially for those, who usually go all-in with the all-black cameras.
Because, as I have been told, the Fujifilm X100VI will come with a new silver color that is “slightly darker” than the one we are used to see on X100 cameras so far. This color will replace the standard silver color we were used to get so far.
