GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Street, Travel & Documentary Photography — X-T1 (2014): The camera that put Fujifilm back on the map — weather sealed, a class-leading EVF, physical dials, and X-Trans colour that earned a generation of loyal fans.
Street, Travel & Everyday — Fujifilm X100VI (2024): The best fixed-lens camera ever made — 40MP, 7-stop IBIS, film simulations, and a design icon. Wildly oversubscribed for good reason.
