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.

The Fujifilm X100V is fully weather sealed only if used with:

• AR-X100 adapter ring
• Protector filter PRF-49

And the question I often get these days is: will the Fujifilm X100VI be fully weather sealed also without adapter rings and filters?

Now let’s start by saying that the X100V camera body itself is already weather sealed. And even if there have been minimal changes to the camera body, I think it’s safe to assume that also the X100VI body will be weather sealed.

But a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and the weakest link in the X100V is the lens, which in itself is not fully weather sealed and hence needs the AR-X100 adapter ring and the Protector filter PRF-49 to enjoy full weather sealing.

So has Fujifilm improved on it on the X100VI?

Well, also in this case I have no rumors about it. But I have a rumor that says that the X100VI will use “the same lens” of the X100V.

And if correct, then this means it will be a wonderful sharp lens, but it will also inherit the same “imperfection” of the X100V: it will only be fully weather sealed if used with adapter rings and filters.

That’s why, in my X100VI vs X100V specs comparison, I made my “educated guess” that the X100VI will still need filters to be fully weather sealed.

But again: just an educated guess to try to answer your questions as good as I can with the information I have so far.

Fujifilm X100VI Rumor Recap

• announcement February 20
• shipping late February
• it will use this battery
• Video Specs, EVF specs, AF modes, Made in China
• first leaked images
• Price in US Dollar and Euro
• only 1 millimeter thicker than X100V
• Reala Ace Film Simulation
• limited edition coming
• has IBIS
• 40 MP sensor
• called X100VI
• same lens of X100V

I noticed in the comments that some fellow Fujifilm shooters ask questions about the Fujifilm X100VI (for example here), that we actually have answered already.

And I get it, there have been so many rumors that it can be hard to keep track with all of it.

That’s why I have decided to create a dedicated X100VI vs X100V specs comparison sheet that is based on our rumors and in some (rare) cases on educated guesses on my side (and they are marked as such in the sheet itself).

You can access the file here.

I already told you that the Fujifilm X100VI would have basically the same size of the Fujifilm X100V.

The size difference would be so negligible, that it would be noticeable only on paper.

But some FR-readers told me that even just a few millimeters here and there would make a significant difference in terms of perceived size of the camera in the hands.

So, let me be more precise today.

The Fujifilm X100VI will be just 1 millimeter thicker than the X100V.

That’s all: 1 millimeter of difference.

I hope that now you’ll agree that the size difference is really extremely negligible and that we can say the X100VI has basically the same size of the X100V.

We have received the information (thanks!), that the Fujifilm X100VI will cost $1,599.

This is not yet confirmed by trusted sources, so take it with a grain of salt for now.

This looks like a bargain if you compare it to the second hand price for a Fujifilm X100V.

But if you compare it to the original price tag for the Fujifilm X100V, we notice a $200 price hike. I guess not unexpected, considering that it will have a newer 40MP sensor, a better processor and even IBIS.
