SUMMARY
Mitch Lally compared the Fujifilm X100VI against his X-E5, finding the X100VI's fixed 23mm f/2 lens and leaf shutter strengths for travel and flash sync. Despite sharing internal components and 40-megapixel sensors, the X100VI boasts superior build quality. However, Lally ultimately favors the X-E5 for its interchangeable lens mount, which allows for greater system flexibility and future expansion, a key consideration for building a primary camera system.
