The Ultimate Premium Compact Camera Showdown: Fujifilm X100VI vs Ricoh GR IIIx vs Leica Q3

Fujifilm X100VI Review: The Little Retro Camera Taking Over 2025

Key Facts & Highlights Full Specifications and New Features The Fujifilm X100VI is the 6th-generation X100 series camera, and it brings major upgrades over the popular X100V. At its heart is a 40.2 MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor – the same high-resolution APS-C sensor found in Fuji’s latest flagship bodies (like the X-T5), replacing the 26 MP chip of the X100V. The detail gain is significant: photographers can now crop or print large with less quality loss, which is especially useful given the fixed lens. Notably, base ISO drops to 125 (from ISO 160 on the X100V), improving dynamic range in bright conditions.
