Buying advice

Which should you buy?

The SL3 edges ahead on the Mars Score (72.3 vs 80), but the 7.7-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.

Pick the X100VI if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. The biggest gaps in its favor are weight. The single most decisive one: Weight — 329.00 g less. 521 vs 850.

Pick the SL3 if you care most about af points / megapixels. Its strongest claims are af points, megapixels, sensor size, among others. The single most decisive one: AF points — 83.29% more. 779 vs 425.

Both ship with comparable in-body stabilization, log profile, so those specs do not separate the two — focus on the differences below.

Bottom line: the SL3 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
