Fuji X100VI MANIA!!!

As I predicted, people are ordering the X100VI on speculation at $1,599, and they now are actually reselling at an average price of $2,650 at eBay!

It's so simple: people order the X100VI and place a listing on eBay. Assuming they get their camera and that their listing sells for more than $1,599, they'll get paid back even before their credit card comes due. Heck, these guys can order 100 cameras and not have to pay the credit card until after they've pocketed the profits — they're using the credit float to bankroll all this speculation. It's like buying a stock option, with no cost by using the float.

The only gotcha may be that the X100VI is now offshored to China for mass production rather than precision domestic craftsmanship, so hopefully Fuji will have plenty of them for all of us and actual prices will come down.

You can see what people actually pay for anything on eBay by selecting the SOLD ITEMS option for any search result.

Canon RF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM.

Updated: I added information about formats and compatibility to my Canon RF-S 10-18mm IS STM Full Review & Sample Image Files.

In other words, it works great on full frame if you don't mind throwing away most of your pixels; on full frame ideally use the RF 15-30mm IS STM.

Fuji X100VI.

NEW: Fuji X100VI Review.

As we saw with the X100V (as well as with the X100, X100S, X100T and X100F) that were often so unavailable that people paid much more for used ones than those of us smart enough to order them the instant they were announced (that's now!), I expect the same will happen with the X100VI .

I just checked at eBay, and people have actually been paying an average of $1,550 for old used X100Vs, which sell new for just $1,399! To see what people actually have paid on eBay, click the SOLD ITEMS option.

In fact, the unavailability of the original X100 which I had months before anyone else in 2010 is what spurred me to write my classic How to Get It article back in 2011.

Order your new X100VI now and it may start to ship on 28 February. Wait a week and maybe you'll be able to get one for $1,999 used at eBay — in a month. Order ten and maybe turn a profit reselling them even before your credit card comes due; you never know.

How HOT is the X100VI? People already have them offered at $5,000 at eBay. Order yours if you still have a chance at $1,599. Laugh all you want at these scalpers, but they're profiting while laggards wait for them to come in stock. and be patient - or pay $5,000 at eBay.

Nikon 220º Fisheye: Another Nikon 6mm f/5.6 220º fisheye on eBay.

This old classic is the wider and very rare version of the 180º 8mm f/8 and 180º 7.5mm f/5.6 fisheyes I've already reviewed. Like the 8mm and 7.5mm, this f/5.6 220º 6mm is small and easier to use on mirrorless and Live View DSLR than it ever was on film!

This f/5.6 220º 6mm is far more practical than the completely idiotic f/2.8 version 6mm 220º fisheye, which is the size of a small dog and nearly impossible to carry and use attached to your camera. The 6mm f/2.8 is for collectors. This f/5.6 is useful, but collectors tend to bid the prices up on it, too. $4,000 is about right.

This listing comes with a finder, which we no longer need with Live View or mirrorless.

Use a simple adapter and it will work on any mirrorless camera; there's no electronic or mechanical communication involved.

Nikon DSLR Updates

A reader asked, so I updated my Nikon D810 versus D750 comparisons, as well as updated their used prices in my D750 review (about $575 used if you know How to Win at eBay) and D810 review (about $700 used if you know How to Win at eBay).

The D810 has always been more expensive, bigger and more pro oriented, while the D750 is smaller, lighter, less expensive and more practical. Today of course the price difference is only about $125 used, so you should get whichever you prefer.

Of course today's newer versions of each are the D850 and D780, whose pages I also updated today with the latest new and used pricing.

Canon is Number One in Mirrorless for the third year in a row!

I prefer their cameras, and their EOS 35mm SLR and DSLR systems have been number one in sales for decades, since about the 1990s.

Thank goodness Canon gave us a huge upgrade alternative from Sony with the EOS-R system in 2018. I know some of you guys still love Sony, but to me their gear is still so 2013 in terms of usability and color rendition.

Canon just announced that, per Circana's Retail Tracking Service of unit sales in the USA, that for the third year in a row than Canon is number one in the USA, outselling Nikon, outselling Sony and certainly outselling every other brand, and bravo, as far as my personal work is concerned, I way prefer my Canons.

The R6 II is my favorite camera of all time for general use and your choice of the R7, R10, R50 or R100 is my top recommendation for people who want a compact and inexpensive camera. I'd much rather shoot an R10 than anything from Nikon or Sony for general use. Even Canon's APS-C cameras give me glorious results as good as from full frame (see my cheapest R100 Sample Images), and with superior ergonomics to other brands.

So it's not just me; consumers have spoken. Canon has been the number-one selling brand in mirrorless in 2021, in 2022 and again in 2023.

BRAVO!

NEW: OM SYSTEM OM-1 Mark II. (also at Adorama.)

Also comes as a kit with the OM 12-40mm f/2.8 II, also at Adorama.

I already have one coming for review. I love my original OM-1, especially its superior ergonomics and menu system and the ease with which I can shoot stacked focus, HDR and pixel-shift — all hand-held with the camera creating my final composite images!

That was all with the old OM-1. Among other things, this amazing new Mark II adds an electronic grad ND filter, adjustable for darkness, angle and transition hardness.

NEW: OM SYSTEM 150-600mm IS. (also at Adorama.)

300 - 1,200mm equivalent (!), 95mm filters, 0.35× macro ratio (0.7× eq!), 72.6 oz. (2,060 g).

Holy cow, OM SYSTEM just took the Birder's Dream lens, the M.Zuiko 150-400mm f/4.5 TC which is a 300-800mm equivalent with an internally switchable 1.25× converter to make it a 375-1,000mm f/5.6 equivalent lens, and for one-third the price this new lens covers an even broader and longer range of focal lengths, without the need for the converter! Of course this new lens isn't quite as fast, but for saving $4,800 with a better zoom range, I'm all in.

Add the MC-20 2× converter and it becomes a 300-1,200mm (600 - 2,400mm equivalent) lens!

24 January 1984, 40 Years of Macintosh

40 years ago today Apple introduced the Macintosh computer.

You can still get the original Mac used at eBay, although I have no idea why I'd want one.

Funny thing is I had never noticed that its model number (MPN in Apple-speak) was M0001. Hah!

I love my Macs; I use them all day long to make this site and sort and optimize my photos. I've been using them exclusively for about 24 years since I went out on my own full time and no longer had a corporate IT department behind me. With Mac, it just goes, and if not, (800) APL-CARE will get you going. You don't need no stinking IT department to get your job done.

They always work; my desktop is a ten-year-old Mac Pro that continues to work flawlessly, and every other Mac I've bought still works just great.

Also, 75 Years of McIntosh.

HASSELBLAD offers this silly optical finder, humorously claiming "more accurate eye-level viewing," but as we all know, Albada finders are poor estimates of what's going to be in your picture.

Nikon D7500 with 50mm f/1.4 G.

Deal: Nikon D7500.

The D7500 is only $897 today, brand new. It was $1,247 when it came out in 2017, way before today's inflation, so $897 is a steal.

The D7500 is a superb APS-C DSLR, if you're looking to upgrade from any older ones.

Nikon will never be introducing any more APS-C DSLRs (the D3500 came out over five years ago), so if you want a new one, now's the time.

Help me help you

I support my growing family through this website, as crazy as it might seem.

If you find this as helpful as a book you might have had to buy or a workshop you may have had to take, feel free to help me continue helping everyone.

If you've gotten your gear through one of my links or helped otherwise, you're family. It's great people like you who allow me to keep adding to this site full-time. Thanks!

If you haven't helped yet, please do, and consider helping me with a gift of $5.00.

The biggest help is when you use any of these links when you get anything, regardless of the country in which you live. It costs you nothing, and is this site's, and thus my family's, biggest source of support. eBay is always a gamble, but all the other places always have the best prices and service, which is why I've used them since before this website existed. I recommend them all personally.

Thanks for reading!
