Verdictwhich should you buy?
X-S10 — Dslr Switchers, Travel & Vlogging: The X-S10 brought IBIS and a fully articulating screen to Fujifilm's mid-range — a compelling DSLR replacement at a price that made Fujifilm accessible to a new audience.
X100VI — Street, Travel & Everyday: The best fixed-lens camera ever made — 40MP, 7-stop IBIS, film simulations, and a design icon. Wildly oversubscribed for good reason.
