The Verdict
The Fujifilm X100VI is generally well-regarded for its excellent image quality, compact design, and unique features such as the built-in ND filter and hybrid viewfinder. However, its fixed lens limits versatility and many in the community question if it justifies the high price, particularly for beginners or those wanting to explore different focal lengths.
