Something I forgot to mention that I'd like you to know! One of the shooting modes on the X100VI is 'Film Bracketing'. In this mode, you can select three different Film Simulations - whenever you take a photo, the X100VI will give you three different photos as an end product, one of each film simulation you selected. One big problem I have here is that when selecting the three different film simulations, you cannot select a custom recipe that you have created. The Film Bracketing Mode is locked to only the Film Simulations that Fuji ships the camera with (the x100vi comes with 20 different options here). The only way to use your custom film recipe is to save it as a custom mode. Quite Disappointing in my opinion. I'd like the option to use 3 custom film recipes I have created in the film bracketing mode, but in its current state, this is not possible on the X100VI.
There's no reason moving production to China would impact reliability simply because it's being made in China. The only reason it would impact reliability is because Fuji, in the process of moving production to China, altered production methods and materials and practices. It could be argued that, if Fuji hasn't properly ramped up production at the new factory, that there may be some teething problems as the new factory gets up to speed and the tooling is broken in. That would be Fuji's problem for having not properly managed the transition. This assumption and association of poor quality with China is completely unfounded and based on the bias that comes from judging the entirety of China's manufacturing capability based on the cheapest products produced there. But whilst China does produce low-cost, low-quality mass produced items, in which low quality is factored in to design to allow for lower cost/higher output; they also have very high quality manufacturing capabilities, as seen in the fact that almost all of the high-end, high quality products we admire today are also produced in China, though they may try to obscure that fact with a "designed in the USA" or something.

I have X100VI since 7 weeks. For me, this camera is perfect with wcl and tcl converters. ❤
Glad you’re enjoying it! (And have even received one!)
That built in mic isn’t bad. I’m going to use mine for short travel clips
It really isn’t.
Enjoy!
