Fujifilm X100VI

So this might come surprising to most. But the information comes from trusted sources, so it is 100% accurate.

In fact, according to our sources, the Fujifilm X100VI, which will be announced on February 20, will start shipping in late February already, so just a few days after its announcements.

That’s a record shipping speed… or at least that’s Fuji’s plan.

Because now the big questions is: has Fujifilm produced enough X100VI samples to ship out all pre-ordered cameras on day 1?

And we all know that the answer to this question can only be “LOL” ;).

Stay tuned… more rumors are coming.

Actually A LOT more rumors.

Beyond X100VI… ;)

Here are a couple of specs, all of them passed to us by two new/anonymous sources (thanks to the first for contacting me after this post, and to the second for giving yourself a nickname).

Some of the specs are of course expected, some maybe a bit less (for example it’s the first X100 camera made in China), and there is one that is a bit different compared to our previous rumor (the price).

• IS0125
• 1/180,000sec shutter
• Al subject detection and the latest AF algorithm
• 3.69m-dots EVF
• 6.2K/30P
• 4K/60P
• UHS-I  slot
• a bit heavier than X100V
• made in China
• $300 more than the x100v (we previously reported “$200 more”) IMPORTANT COMMENTS ABOUT THE PRICE BELOW

The Price

So let me address only the price rumor.

When I shared the price of $1,599, I told you it was not based on our trusted sources. And now we got the price of $1,699 ($300 more than X100V), and we share it with you guys, but it’s also based on anonymous source (which again we would like to thank for the help).

So how do we go from here?

First: I will try to get it confirmed by trusted sources.

Second: Fujifilm can change its mind on the final pricing many times before announcement (and as we documented here, sometimes even shortly after announcement). So it could well be that both sources got the right info at the time they heard about it. But the question would be who of the two got the more updated information.

Third: For now, I will not change my original rumor of $1,599. And the reason is that, as we have documented here, usually there is a 250/300 price difference between US Dollar and EURO. So X gear that costs $1,500 in USA, will cost about €1,700/€1800 in Europe.

And because we know from trusted sources that the Fujifilm X100VI will cost €1,799, it would be rather unconventional for Fujifilm to price it at $1,699, so with only 100 difference.

To be more in line with their usual price gap between Euro and USD, the X100VI should be priced $1,599 or even $1,499. Which is why, for now, I will keep the $1,599 price as the “official” rumor.

So, that’s all for now. Stay tuned, because more is coming.

→No Time to Read or Watch: it’s this battery here

One of the most urgent questions regarding the Fujifilm X100VI is:

will it use the NP-W126S battery or the bigger NP-W235 battery?

Well, today we have the answer.
