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.
The Fujifilm X100VI will be Fujifilm’s first APS-C camera to feature the new REALA ACE film simulation.
Some of you might think that’s an obvious rumor. But others might think it can’t be true.
And the reason why some might think it can’t be true, is because when the Fujifilm GFX100 II was launched, Fujifilm engineers said this during the X summit about the new Reala Ace film simulation:
The new GFX100II sensor is the best fit Reala Ace. Without this sensor, we are not able to realize REALA film simulation in it
But according to our sources, what Fujifilm said is not true. Or maybe Fujifilm just used a very unlucky and confusing formulation.
Because Fujifilm is able to realize Reala Ace also without the Fujifilm GFX100II sensor and the first camera (besides GFX100II) to have it will be the Fujifilm X100VI.
For nostalgic negative, Fujifilm needs large sensor. It can’t be implemented simply to APS-C. Fujifilm needs more time to develop Nostalgic Negative for the APS-C system.
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.
