The nikkei published a report about Fujifilm’s initial production volume for the Fujifilm X100VI and it doesn’t sound like enough. Fujifilm is prepared to produce 15,000 X100VI a month which is double the volume of the X100V, which was already a very popular camera that was impossible to find.

Fujifilm also launched the House of Photography in the Metaverse today and they anticipate providing service to 500,000 users this year. Fujifilm will staff its Metaverse presence with representatives to provide free consultations on camera purchases, repairs, and more.

CineD always has some great interviews with Fujifilm and the above is no different so feel free to give it a watch or check out the key points below

X100VI is for photo enthusiasts who don’t like to compromise on image quality and it appeals to film photographers
First camera with ND and IBIS and it wasn’t difficult to do because the ND filter is part of the shutter mechanism
It would not be easy to do both in an interchangeable-lens camera because of the way the space in the image sensor stack works out
Fujifilm X100V was very popular and sold exceptionally well so Fujifilm doubled their capacity
Fujifilm has its highest manufacturing capacity in China, most of the camera parts come from China, and China’s manufacturing quality is equivalent to Japan’s so it made sense to manufacture the camera in China
REALA ACE will come to other 5th-generation cameras
Fujifilm is aware that customers want a Fujifilm Cinema Camera, but there are no concrete plans at the moment, but it could change tomorrow
Next X Summit in Sydney Australia

They finished up with please everyone buy this camera, but sales have been very strong by all accounts so the plea is really really unnecessary.

Fujifilm X100VI vs Fujifilm X100V: What Are The Differences

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 20, 2024

Fujifilm X100VI Silver and Black:

If it’s not broken don’t fix it, or at least that is what Fujifilm believes about the X100 line of cameras. Remarkably little has changed over the years with one of Fujifilm’s most popular cameras, but is it worth the upgrade? I have been watching many videos about the X100VI and while I want one I think I will try to pick up a refurbished X100V if prices come down to something reasonable. Don’t get me wrong the Fujifilm X100VI is a beast of a camera, but I still feel like the X100V is plenty for my needs if prices come down thanks to the X100VI being highly available, but I will have to wait and see. Until then you can see how the cameras differ above.

BTW B&H Photo just posted some new X100V in stock

Fujifilm X100V In Stock Save $200 Instead of Getting X100VI

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 20, 2024

I was pretty sure we would never see the day that the Fujifilm X100V was in stock somewhere since Fujifilm timed its discontinuation to coincide with the launch of the X100VI, but B&H Photo has some in stock right now if you would like to save $200 and you do not want IBIS clunking around in your camera when it is turned off.
