The Fujifilm X100VI is so hard to find that used models are going for more than the brand new list price – but when Kolari Vision finally received theirs after placing an order in February, they immediately tore it apart to find out what was inside. The Fujifilm X100VI teardown revealed a printed circuit board mounted right behind the sensor, a design that Kolari Vision said they’ve never seen before in their teardowns before.
Kolari Vision is a company specializing in infrared photography equipment – tearing apart cameras is part of what they do as they convert existing cameras for use in infrared photography. (Hopefully that means they can put this poor destroyed X100VI back together.) Still, watching the coveted X100VI compact camera come apart piece by piece reminded me a bit of the time I got to see the behind-the-scenes areas of Disney World – the magic feels a bit less magical.
