Did I Buy The Perfect Camera?

I don't know but the Fujifilm X100VI sure is fun!

I have many cameras onboard Avemar. I usually carry my iPhone 14 Pro Max and share those snapshots frequently. I’ve posted images from my PaperShoot and Kodak half-frame camera before. I regularly post photos on Notes made with high-end professional Canon bodies and lenses.

I’ve recently added to my camera collection.

I was searching for a small camera to take backpacking without needing a bag of lenses and batteries. I bought a small, simple-to-use, but sophisticated “point-and-shoot” with many of the features of my most expensive cameras. I’m carrying around the new Fujifilm X100VI, and I love it!

I was asked to take candids at a wedding rehearsal dinner last week, so I brought the new camera. I also carried it to the wedding, where I sat in the front row.

I’m now the “Uncle Bob” that professionals warn brides about.

I’ve picked out a variety of scenes and typically tricky lighting situations from the weekend to share to show the camera's capabilities rather than try to build a wedding portfolio that might be shown to a bride and groom.

The images were shot without a flash using available light. These screenshots show Photo Mechanic, the software I use to catalog and cull my files before editing, and show the “straight-out-of-camera” uncropped images before color correction. Risky, yes, but it is the Fujifilm X100VI.

I’m eagerly awaiting your comments.
