Hey, it's Andrew from The Pixel Connection and Fuji Film has just announced their latest camera of their X100 series and I have it right here. It's the Fuji Film X106 and I'm here to give you guys a first look at it. If you haven't kept up with the news, one of the hottest cameras in 2023 was Fuji Film's X100V. And for a camera that's already four years old, it's popularly has never been higher, largely part to its retro film aesthetic that it brings while it's maintaining a high sharp image quality and everyone wanted to get a piece of the action. So how does Fuji Film respond to this? Well, they decided to drop what mages be the best APSE travel camera built for creators that we've ever seen. Before we start breaking this camera down, we want to send a thank you to Fuji Film for sending us this pre-production model early to give our first reaction and give you guys a bit of a breakdown for when it releases and dare I say after playing with this so far, I want to keep going out and taking pictures. A 40 megapixel APSE sensor sits behind the camera's fixed 23mm F2 Fuji 9 lens, which is equivalent to a 35mm full frame. Delivering 1.5 times more resolution, the next 100V, and with Fuji's 5th gen X-trans sensor, it delivers almost twice the processing speed. By utilizing the processor, the autofocus feature in this camera brings new, steady-the-art subject detection and very reactive autofocus tracking, which has been very satisfying to play with so far. Fuji Film even implemented a deep learning algorithm into this camera allowing more accurate autofocus coverage, even in unpredictable circumstances, low light situations. If we throw on either of our converters, here we have the WCL X102, which will give you a full frame equivalent 28mm field of view, or the TCL X102, which gives you a full frame equivalent 50mm field of view, put in the mods easy. All you have to do is screw off the front cap of the camera and screw on your converter, and when you do this, the camera will recognize which converters bend screwed on and adjust accordingly in its menu system. When talking about video capabilities, this camera can shoot 6K up to 30 frames per second, 4K and 4K over sampled up to 60 frames per second, and up to 240 frames per second 10-bit video when shooting full HD. This camera is also outfitted with F-log and F-log 2, which gives you that nice, flat picture profile that allows for a lot of dynamic range to be captured in more flexibility and post when you're color grading. You can also use the Fujifilm film simulations in video as well. The X106 is outfitted with a 5-axis in-body stabilization mode that provides up to 6 stops of stabilization using the information from the image sensor and its gyro sensors, which automatically detect and react to movement and vibrations. Which brings us to our next topic, the X106's native frame.io camera and cloud technology. Now this isn't something new that Fujifilm has been implementing into their cameras, but it's really exciting to see in this one, especially because it's built as a creator camera. It's possible to wirelessly upload photos and videos directly to frame.io as you're taking them, which is a real game changer when we're talking about accessibility and sharing content on the fly. And after pairing your X106 to its registered project folder, all you need is an active internet connection and you'll start showing whatever you're capturing live. This camera is outfitted with a built-in 4-stop ND, so you're getting that nice beautiful bokeh in the background of your images, even on a bright sunny day. It's not a problem. And you have full control over your exposure using this camera. The camera is weather resistant and ways around the same as the X100V, so it's around 16 to 17 ounces and it's really comfortable to hold. It's not cumbersome whatsoever. Very easily to slaying over your shoulder or having your chest with the next strap. And yeah, the black and silver options that this camera comes with are, of course, really beautiful and pretty as Fujifilm always seems to accomplish with their cameras. I love the retro rangefinder style. Looking at the camera on the top, we have our on-off switch and a shutter release button. We have our shutter speed dial as well as ISO. Our bracketing dial, a button that turns on and off our face and eye detection as well as a hot shoe. We have an auto switching viewfinder, so whenever you hold up the camera to your eye, it'll switch from the back screen to it, which is great. A nice high quality monitor that shows really accurate colors. Our drive mode and delete button that allows us to switch between shooting modes, bracketing modes, multi exposure modes and video recording. Our AEL and AFL button. AEL prevents our exposure from changing and AFL locks your autofocus like holding down your shutter halfway. Our menu button and stick around to the end of the video, we're all scroll through the entire menu system so you can see exactly what's inside. Our playback button, our display and back button. Q menu button is quite small on the side here and allows for quick adjustments. And lastly, we have a nice scroll wheel on the top right here that allows us to change settings through our menus and currently our shutter speed. Looking at the camera on the side here, we have our microphone or remote shutter port, a USB-C port for data transfer or charging and a micro HDMI port. On the other side, we have our focus modes, manual, continuous tracking and single shot. At the bottom of the camera, is where you insert your SD cards and our standard thread for tripods and such. And the camera takes a Fujifilm MP-W126S battery that lasts around an afternoon or possibly the whole day depending on how much you're shooting. Thank you guys so much for watching and if you're interested in learning more about this camera, feel free to shoot us a call or send us an email here at the Pixel Connection.
