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 found the battery life exceeded expectations, often lasting a full day. To overcome the fixed focal length, Needham utilized Viltrox conversion lenses, effectively creating 28mm, 35mm, and 50mm options, with the sensor crop extending to a 100mm equivalent. Despite its strengths, Needham notes that the X100 VI's continuous autofocus lags behind competitors, and the lens flares can be unflattering, though RAW processing can mitigate some issues.
