The FujiFilm X100VI Camera
A point-and-shoot camera to give you that Eggleston look …
Two decades ago, at the Consumer Electronics Show, in Las Vegas, an executive of Fujifilm, the Tokyo company that at the time was known for its superb film but not much else, told your columnist that Fujifilm intended to become the third-leading high-end Japanese camera brand, after Nikon and Canon.
It seemed a bit optimistic, to say the least. Fuji Photo had been making decent cameras since the 1950s, but they were not particularly distinguished or popular. And anyway, this being the turn of the century, it was becoming clear that film was on the way out, so it seemed unlikely that Fuji’s star was rising.
