As part of the Fujifilm X-Summit in Tokyo, Japan, Fujifilm held a special session discussing the design process of the Fujifilm X100 series, and the GFX100 II, and showed the Fujifilm X100V and new X100VI cut in half, letting us see inside the Fujifilm X100VI.

The Fujifilm X100VI was announced yesterday, alongside a Limited Edition version, and updates the camera to a 40.2MP sensor, as well as adding in-body image stabilisation, which is impressive considering the camera is almost identical in dimensions.

As you can see from the picture(s), it’s quite clear how much technology Fujifilm has packed into the camera. It also appears as though the lens goes inside the Fujifilm X100VI camera body, which you might not have guessed without seeing the camera cut in half.
