Kolarivision has disassembled the Fujifilm X100VI that they pre-ordered back in February and have just received recently.

You can see the teardown in the video above and access the article at kolarivision

The “Surprise”

• Three screws fastened the sensor cover to the frame
• This turned out to be a huge surprise. We thought we would be able to access the sensor after removing those screws, but we found that this part, the sensor cover, was just another layer of removal that needed to be done. What’s more—there is a PCB right behind the sensor! We have never seen this in a camera before
• Lo and behold, the PCB part was simply a part of the sensor itself

The Simplicity

• Fujifilm mirrorless cameras are typically hard to disassemble due to complex internal designs.
• The Fujifilm X100VI is an exception, with a quick and easy teardown process.
• Modern fixed-lens mirrorless cameras are generally simpler in design compared to older fixed-lens models.

The Fujifilm X-M5, Fujinon XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II and the Fujinon XF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR started shipping, so I thought it’s time for a little review roundup.
