Building on the success of the Fujifilm X100V, which gained viral fame on TikTok last year, the highly anticipated Fujifilm X100VI set new records with its pre-order sales following its February launch. Demand remains high, with the camera still on backorder.
The buzz around this retro-inspired premium compact is well-deserved. The X100VI delivers significant upgrades, including a cutting-edge 40MP sensor, 6.2K video capabilities, in-body image stabilization (a first for the series), and Fujifilm’s most advanced autofocus system to date. Fans of the X100 series will also appreciate the signature hybrid viewfinder and vintage-style exposure dials that have made this line a favorite among photographers.
After testing it for our Fujifilm X100VI review, we’ve crowned it the best compact camera available today. Another standout in the photography world is the Pentax Film Project, which has brought a new film camera to life for Gen Z photographers. The result is the Pentax 17, a delightful half-frame compact film camera. With these innovations, 2024 is shaping up to be an exciting year for photography enthusiasts.
