SUMMARY
Gerard Needham provides a long-term review of the Fujifilm X100 VI after a year of travel and paid work, capturing over 10,000 images. He discusses surprising battery life, finding a single charge sufficient for a full day. Needham addresses the fixed lens limitation by using Viltrox conversion lenses to achieve 28mm, 35mm, and 50mm focal lengths, with the sensor crop extending to 100mm. While impressed with image quality, even compared to a Hasselblad X2D, he notes autofocus lags behind competitors and criticizes the lens flare and Fujifilm's pricing.
