Looking for a cheaper alternative to the Fujifilm X100VI Digital Camera? It usually sells for about $1,800. Here are 3 cheaper swaps from $880: the Ricoh GR IV is the closest match from another brand, the Fujifilm X-M5 with XC15-45mm Lens Kit is a cheaper option from Fujifilm and the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III is the cheapest at about $880. Each one says what you give up for the lower price.
The Fujifilm X100VI lists for $1,800 but is often out of stock. The Fujifilm X-M5 with a 15-45mm kit lens keeps Fujifilm's look for $1,000, and the cheapest pick is the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III at $880.
Worth it if you want one small camera with a fixed 23mm f/2 lens, a hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder, a built-in four-stop ND filter and Fujifilm's 20 film simulations. DPReview praised its JPEGs, direct control dials and stabilization, and called it the best X100 model yet.
If you want Fujifilm colors and the option to change lenses, the Fujifilm X-M5 with XC15-45mm Lens Kit ($1000) does that, though without a viewfinder. For a pocketable zoom, the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III ($880) uses a smaller 1-inch sensor.

Every swap is a product sold in the US that does the main job of the original. Close match is another brand with similar features, Same brand, cheaper is an older, smaller or renewed model from the same maker, and Budget pick is the cheapest thing that still does the job. On each page, Closest match is the close match nearest the original in price, and Lowest price is the cheapest swap. We compare published specs, retailer listings and reviews; we don't test products ourselves.
A cheaper product is cheaper for a reason. Each swap says what you give up, like weaker noise cancelling, a smaller screen or a shorter warranty, so you can decide if the savings are worth it.
Prices are typical US prices from retailer listings and price trackers, last checked October 2026. They are not live Amazon prices, which change often. When a price couldn't be confirmed, the page says “Check price on Amazon” instead of showing a number.
