Fujifilm’s most-hyped camera has just started shipping

The latest iteration of Fujifilm’s X100 camera started shipping on Wednesday.

The X100VI is — as the name cleverly suggests — the sixth in the series. Early reviews have been mostly positive as the camera builds on the successes of the already impressive earlier models going all the way back to the original X100, which launched in 2011.

While Fujifilm’s fixed-lens, mirrorless camera has always been popular — especially with street photographers or serious hobbyists who want excellent image quality in a compact device — it was the X100V that really saw sales soar, propelled partly by fans on TikTok.

The beautifully styled camera became so popular that, for the last year or so, it’s been almost impossible to find. In recent days, the X100V was still selling online with a higher sticker price than the new X100VI, which retails for $1,599. This despite the V having an official price of $1,399.

It’s too early to say if the X100VI will prove as popular as its predecessor, but if it is, hopefully, Fujifilm has done enough to avoid annoying supply issues this time around.

The new X100VI comes with a larger 40 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor and introduces in-body image stabilization, a feature early reviewers have been getting very excited about is it offers more reliability in lowlight shooting when slower shutter speeds are more likely. The flip-out display that first showed up with the X100V has been tweaked to offer slightly more tilt and pull, and the battery — the same one used by the V — is rated to provide 450 shots per charge. The camera also continues offering popular film simulation modes, including a new one, Reala Ace.

To commemorate Fujifilm’s 90th year, the company is also offering 1,934 Limited Edition X100VI units with the camera body engraved with the corporate brand logo from Fujifilm’s founding in 1934, together with a unique serial number as proof of the limited edition. The $1,999 package includes a limited-edition strap, a soft-release button, and other goodies.

An ace photographer is about to leave the ISS. Here are his best shots
The moon and Earth as seen from the ISS.

NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick is preparing to return to Earth after spending seven months living and working aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

After arriving at the orbital outpost, Dominick -- who is on his first mission to space -- quickly earned a reputation for being an ace photographer. He's been using the facility’s plethora of high-end cameras and lenses to capture amazing shots from his unique vantage point some 250 miles above Earth. Sharing his content on social media, the American astronaut has always been happy to reveal how he captured the imagery and offer extra insight for folks interested to know more.

Filter-free and fun, the Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 Instant Camera is on sale Right Now for Prime Day
fujifilm instax mini 11 camera prime big deal days

It's 2024, and you’re considering a point-and-shoot camera. Zero judgment here. I miss the good ol’ days of flipping through actual photo albums instead of doom-scrolling on Instagram. You can get back to those days by snagging a (in the ice white color), and it’s the perfect time because it’s on sale. Get it for 24% off during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, but hurry while inventory is going strong.
There’s something magical about having a physical photo right in your hand seconds after snapping the shot, and it adds a fun, retro vibe to moments you want to capture and keep. Plus, having an actual picture to hold and display can be so much more satisfying than just another digital file on your phone. I picked one up two years ago for my eight-year-old daughter, and it’s been an instant hit in our household. And now, at its $59 sale price, I'm definitely going to be stocking up on a few to gift ahead of the holiday season.

How the Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 works
The delightful throwback comes with a FUJINON 60mm lens and an automatic exposure feature that adjusts the shutter speed for the best shot, even in low light. While the picture quality won’t be as crisp as what your smartphone can capture, it’ll still produce a quality image worthy of slapping on a refrigerator.
If selfies are your thing, this camera has a dedicated Selfie Mode (with a mirror). We set up a DIY photo booth for my daughter's birthday party with sticker frames so each kid could go home with a photo souvenir, and it was a total hit.
You can opt to make it a set with a range of accessories to buy separately, like a carrying case, a handy strap, those sticker borders I mentioned, and photo albums to hold the memories.
