Hey Don, I may have to go for this one - FugiFilm X100VI. It's only pre-order now but looks really nice based on preliminary reviews. Fugifilm has upped the resolution to 40MP (my Fugifilm 100S is 16, I think yours may be 24) and it now has built in image stabilization (IBIS) and other improvements. Some beautiful photos and initial pre-production review can be seen here https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifi ... ial-review. I'll wait until more reviews are in. Of course they've upped the price as well. I wonder what I could get in a trade-in. I can't believe my 100s is actually about 10 years old now.

I heard about it but I have to admit that I'm totally spoiled by the phone. My dusty Fuji is on the shelf. I have also developed a lo-fi love, so even the shots from my old phone are good enough for me.

Oh, I know what you mean as far as pics from the phone. They've gotten so much better over the years and more importantly you nearly always have it with you, so it's easy access. I got a Pixel 8 Pro back in Oct 2023 and the photos from it are fantastic. When you get home from a trip and compare photos on a 32" monitor, you can see that the Fugi X100 is still better. As good as the photos are from the Pixel (and in pro-mode you get 50MP), you can see the difference in quality. So don't let it collect dust.
