Mexico Strengthens Travel Requirements for Peruvians to Address Irregular Migration

Mexico Strengthens Travel Requirements for Peruvians to Address Irregular Migration Julia Paredes believed her move to the United States might be now or never. Mexico was days from requiring visas for Peruvian visitors. If she didn't act quickly, she would have to make a far more perilous, surreptitious journey over land to settle with her sister in Dallas. Mexico began requiring visas for Peruvians on Monday in response to a major influx of migrants from the South American country, after identical moves for Venezuelans, Ecuadorians and Brazilians. It effectively eliminated the option of flying to a Mexican city near the US border, as Paredes, 45, did just before it was too late. I had to treat it as a emergency, said Paredes, who worked serving lunch to miners in Arequipa, Peru, and borrowed money to fly to Mexico's Tijuana, across from San Diego. Last month smugglers guided her through a remote opening in the border wall to a dirt lot in California, where she and about 100 migrants from around the world shivered over campfires after a morning drizzle and waited for overwhelmed Border Patrol agents to drive them to a station for processing. Senior US officials, speaking to reporters ahead of a meeting of top diplomats from about 20 countries in the Western hemisphere this week in Guatemala, applauded Mexico's crackdown on air travel from Peru and called visa requirements an important tool to jointly confront illegal migration. For critics, shutting down air travel only encourages more dangerous choices. Illegal migration by Venezuelans plummeted after Mexico imposed visa requirements in January 2022, but the lull was short-lived. Last year Venezuelans made up nearly two-thirds of the record-high 520,000 migrants who walked through the Darien Gap, the notorious jungle spanning parts of Panama and Colombia. More than 25,000 Chinese traversed the Darien last year. They generally fly to Ecuador, a country known for few travel restrictions, and cross the US border illegally in San Diego to seek asylum. With an immigration court backlog topping 3 million cases, it takes years to decide such claims, during which time people can obtain work permits and establish roots. People are going to come no matter what, said Miguel Yaranga, 22, who flew from Lima, Peru's capital, to Tijuana and was released by the Border Patrol Sunday at a San Diego bus stop. He had orders to appear in immigration court in New York in February 2025, which puzzled him because he said he told agents he would settle with his sister on the other side of the country, in Bakersfield, California. Jeremy MacGillivray, deputy chief of the Mexico mission of the UN's International Organisation for Migration, predicts that Peruvian migration will drop at least at the beginning and bounce back as people shift to walking through the Darien Gap and to Central America and Mexico. Mexico said last month that it would require visas for Peruvians for the first time since 2012 in response to a substantial increase in illegal migration. Large-scale Peruvian migration to Mexico began in 2022; Peruvians were stopped in the country an average of 2,160 times a month from January to March of this year, up from a monthly average of 544 times for all of 2023. Peruvians also began showing up at the US border in 2022. The US Border Patrol arrested Peruvians an average of about 5,300 times a month last year before falling to a monthly average of 3,400 from January through March, amid a broad immigration crackdown by Mexico. Peru immediately reciprocated Mexico's visa requirement but changed course after a backlash from the country's tourism industry. Peru noted in its reversal that it is part of a regional economic bloc that includes Mexico, Chile and Colombia. Adam Isacson, an analyst at the Washington Office on Latin America, said Peru's membership with Mexico in the Pacific Alliance allowed its citizens visa-free travel longer than other countries. It is unclear if Colombia, also a major source of migration, will be next, but Isacson said Mexican President Andrs Manuel Lopez Obrador is in a lovefest with his Colombian counterpart, Gustavo Petro, while his relations with Peru's government are more strained. Colombians are consistently near the top nationalities of migrants arriving at Tijuana's airport. Many find hotels before a guide takes them to boulder-strewn mountains east of the city, where they cross through openings in the border wall and then walk toward dirt lots that the Border Patrol has identified as waiting stations. Bryan Ramrez, 25, of Colombia, reached US soil with his girlfriend last month, only two days after leaving Bogota for Cancun, Mexico, and continuing on another flight to Tijuana. He waited alongside others overnight for Border Patrol agents to pick him up as cold rain and high winds whipped over the crackle of high-voltage power lines. The group waiting near Boulevard, a small, loosely defined rural town, included several Peruvians who said they came for economic opportunity and to escape violence and political crises. Peruvians can still avoid the Darien jungle by flying to El Salvador, which introduced visa-free travel for them in December in reciprocation for a similar move by Peru's government. But they would still have to travel over land through Mexico, where many are robbed or kidnapped. Ecuadoreans, who have needed visas to enter Mexico since September 2021, can also fly to El Salvador, but not all do. Oscar Palacios, 42, said he walked through Darien because he couldn't afford to fly. Palacios, who left his wife and year-old child in Ecuador with plans to support them financially from the US, said it took him two weeks to travel from his home near the violent city of Esmeralda to Mexico's border with Guatemala. It then took him two months to cross Mexico because immigration authorities turned him around three times and bused him back to the southern part of the country. He said he was robbed repeatedly. Palacios finally reached Tijuana and, after three nights in a hotel, crossed into the US. A Border Patrol agent spotted him with migrants from Turkiye and Brazil and drove them to the dirt lot to wait for a van or bus to take them to a station for processing. Looking back on the journey, Palacios said he would rather cross Darien Gap 100 times than Mexico even once.

Specifically, people who climbed the stairs four times a day or more were found to have a 70% lower risk of heart disease.

Cancer: India is now becoming the cancer capital from the diabetes capital! Is the health of the countrymen in danger?

India, once known as the diabetes capital, is now on its way to becoming the Cancer Capital of the World due to the rapid increase in cancer cases. This information revealed in the 'Health of Nation Report 2024' released by Apollo Hospitals raises serious questions about the health of the country. The report highlights the explosive growth in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and mental health disorders in India. According to the report, one out of every three people in India is pre-diabetic, two-thirds suffer from pre-hypertension and one out of every 10 people suffers from depression. Cancer cases are particularly worrying. The report notes that cancer cases in India are surpassing global rates, putting it on track to become the cancer capital of the world. The most worrying thing is that pre-diabetes, pre-hypertension, and mental health disorders are emerging at an early age, which can put a huge burden on health services in the future. So what is the threat to the health of Indians? The report holds many factors responsible. Tobacco use: Widespread use of tobacco in India increases the risk of lung cancer, mouth cancer, and throat cancer. According to the report, about 40% of cancer cases in India are due to tobacco consumption. Unbalanced diet: Unhealthy eating habits, such as high intake of processed foods and low intake of fruits and vegetables, can increase the risk of obesity and cancer. Lack of physical exercise: Lack of exercise and a physically inactive lifestyle can increase the risk of obesity, heart disease and some types of cancer. This report is a warning for Indians. We need to change our lifestyle and give priority to our health. Quitting tobacco use, adopting a balanced diet, and getting regular exercise can help reduce the risk of cancer and other non-communicable diseases. Also, it is important to get regular health checkups done so that any disease can be detected early and treated. (PC: Freepik)

World Asthma Day: More children than adults are asthma patients, parents should keep a close eye on these early signs of asthma; doctor's advice

Asthma is a chronic and incurable disease. The patient has to live with the symptoms of this disease throughout his life. However, its severity can be reduced to some extent through treatment. But life is not easy with this. In such a situation, every year April 7 is celebrated as World Asthma Day, the purpose of which is to make people aware of this disease. People of every age group are at risk of this lung-related disease. But children are more vulnerable to it. Apart from being genetic, the reasons for this are the short duration of the mother's milk intake, weak immunity, exposure to pollution, and secondhand smoke. Dr. Ravi Shankar Jha, Director, and Unit Head Pulmonology, Fortis Escorts Hospital Faridabad, has explained the initial symptoms with the help of which this disease can be managed better in children. Early symptoms of asthma in children- Frequent cough Persistent cough, especially at night or during physical activities, can be an early sign of asthma in children. This cough can be dry or with phlegm. Wheezing Wheezing is a loud sound produced while breathing, which is usually heard during exhalation. This is caused by the narrowing of the air passages and is a symptom of asthma in children. Shortness of breath Children with asthma may experience difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, especially after physical exertion or exposure to asthma triggers such as allergens or cold air. Chest tightness Asthma can cause a feeling of chest tightness or discomfort. Children may describe the feeling that something is pressing or pressing on their chest. Tiredness Persistent cough and difficulty in breathing can cause fatigue in children suffering from asthma. They may seem tired or lethargic, especially during periods of increased asthma symptoms. Breathing rapidly An exacerbation of asthma can lead to rapid breathing as the body tries to compensate for the drop in oxygen levels. Parents should monitor their child's breathing rate, especially during an asthma attack. Trouble sleeping Asthma symptoms often worsen at night, causing disrupted sleep patterns. Children suffering from asthma may have trouble sleeping or wake up frequently due to coughing or difficulty breathing. Avoiding physical activities Some children with asthma may avoid physical activities or sports for fear of triggering asthma symptoms. This can affect their overall physical fitness and quality of life. Allergy symptoms Are linked to allergies and asthma. Therefore, children suffering from asthma may also experience symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes or skin rashes, especially when exposed to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, or pet dander. Anxiety or irritability Living with asthma can be stressful for children, causing anxiety or irritability, especially during asthma attacks or when symptoms interfere with daily activities.

Crossed legs: Sitting with legs crossed is dangerous for health, these problems including high blood pressure can occur.

Many people find it most comfortable to sit with one leg crossed over the other. But do you know how harmful this habit can be to your health? Doctors say that sitting with crossed legs can not only cause varicose veins (swelling of veins) and birth complications in pregnant women but also increases the risk of high blood pressure. Disadvantages of sitting with legs crossed- Varicose Veins and Complications in Pregnancy Sitting with your legs crossed can hinder blood flow, which increases the risk of varicose veins (swelling in the veins). At the same time, this posture is especially harmful for pregnant women, because during pregnancy the blood flow becomes slower than before. This can cause pain, swelling, and fatigue in the legs. Apart from this, in pregnant women, sitting cross-legged can also hurt the condition of the fetus. This may cause delays or complications in delivery. The problem of high blood pressure Studies have shown that sitting with crossed legs can increase blood pressure by up to 8%. This happens because this posture puts pressure on the arteries, due to which the heart has to work harder. In such a situation, if you already have the problem of high blood pressure, then it becomes even more important to avoid sitting cross-legged. Back pain and muscle strains Sitting with your legs crossed increases the stress on the back muscles, which can cause back pain and muscle strain. It can also cause pain in the neck and shoulders. How to avoid side effects When you sit, keep your back straight and your feet flat on the floor. If you have to sit for a long time, keep changing your position every 30 minutes. Get up and walk around for a few minutes every hour. Apart from this, regular exercise helps in strengthening the muscles and increasing flexibility. (PC: ISTOCK)

Foods Hacks: 4 easy tips to prevent curd from becoming too sour in summer

Summer is here and who doesn't like to enjoy cold curd for relief? But during the summer season, curd turns sour quickly, which not only spoils its taste but also makes it useless to eat. In such a situation, today we will tell you some easy tips by adopting which you can save your curd from turning sour for a long time even in summer. Do not store curd in a hot place Temperature is the most important factor in storing curd. Curd should always be kept in a cool place. For this, you can use the refrigerator. Never keep curd in direct sunlight or a hot place. It is safe to keep curd brought from the market in the refrigerator immediately after purchasing it. Do not let the cream accumulate on the curd. The cream accumulated on the curd promotes the growth of bacteria, due to which the curd turns sour quickly. Therefore, after setting the curd, remove the cream that has settled on top. You can use this cream in any other dish. Clean hands before touching the curd The bacteria present on our hands can contaminate the curd and make it spoil faster. So before stirring or serving the curd, make sure that your hands are completely clean. Use steel or glass utensils Avoid plastic containers to store curd. Plastic containers do not allow air to pass through, which spoils the curd. Steel or glass utensils are better for storing curd. Keep this in mind also Store curd in small containers, as frequent removal of curd increases the risk of exposure to air, which can spoil the curd. (PC: Freepik)

Relationship Tips: Love is not enough, these 5 things should also be there between partners to make the relationship successful.

In films and books, love is said to be the basis of relationships. From this, it is understood that if there is love between you and your partner then the relationship will always remain intact. But is love alone really a guarantee of the success of a relationship? The answer is no, love is necessary for a relationship, but it alone cannot make the relationship successful. Along with love between two people, it is also very important to have these 5 things. Respect The foundation of any relationship rests on respect. This includes understanding and respecting each other's feelings, thoughts, and needs. The relationship in which there is mutual respect remains strong even on the worst days. Reliance No relationship can survive without trust. This means that you can trust your partner blindly, and believe in his honesty and promises. With trust, you can talk openly with each other and face difficulties together. Dialogue Effective communication is the backbone of any relationship. This means communicating with an open heart, listening to each other, and trying to understand. Staying silent on problems or talking in anger increases the distance in the relationship. Independence Freedom is important in any relationship. This means that both of you have the freedom to express yourself, socialize with your friends, and grow personally. In such a relationship, there is never boredom or distance between partners. Admissibility Everyone's nature in life is different. In such a situation, it is important to have acceptance in the relationship. This means that both of you accept each other's shortcomings and strengths and can live in harmony with each other.

World Asthma Day: If you are an asthma patient, be especially careful in summer, a little carelessness can worsen your health.

Asthma is considered one of the serious respiratory problems due to which breathing becomes difficult. The airways of asthma patients are very sensitive and the problem of swelling increases in environments like summer and winter. Due to asthma, breathing can become difficult and problems like cough, wheezing, and chest tightness start occurring while breathing. Respiratory disease experts say that people who have asthma problem should continuously take measures to protect themselves from its risk factors. Most of the states of the country are in the grip of severe heat waves these days. Doctors say that this kind of weather can also increase problems for asthma patients. People suffering from respiratory problems should take special care towards changes in the environment. Let us know from the doctor what things asthma patients should take special care of during summer so that they can avoid the risk of asthma attacks. What do experts say? According to respiratory disease experts, exposure to hot air is considered problematic for asthma patients and may trigger symptoms. Breathing hot air can further aggravate already damaged airways and lead to inflammation. Apart from this, the problem of dehydration is also seen more during summer due to which there can be a risk of symptoms becoming severe. There is a possibility of an increase in air pollutants due to increased temperature, due to which exposure can cause irritation in the respiratory system and increase the risk of breathing problems. To avoid these problems, there is a need to pay serious attention to some things. It is very important to prevent dehydration To reduce the risk of asthma attacks during summer, it is most important to keep your body hydrated. Drinking adequate amounts of water helps keep your airways moist and may also reduce some asthma symptoms. Aim to drink at least three to four liters of water a day. Apart from this, keep consuming things that keep the body hydrated like watermelon, melon, and cucumber. Symptoms can also worsen due to dust pollution It is most important for asthma patients to take special precautions while going out of the house. If the pollution level is high outside then wearing a mask may be the best option. Also, avoid intense exercise and spending too much time outside during summer. Do not leave the house in the afternoon and if possible stay in cool places. Avoid allergens The problems of asthma patients can increase significantly due to allergy-causing factors. To prevent this, take measures to protect against dust and pollen particles. Some people may also have allergy problems due to animal hair, so it is important to keep protecting from these things. If you have difficulty breathing at any time, then use the inhaler prescribed by the doctor and if this does not help, then immediately consult a specialist. (PC: ISTOCK)

Heart Attack: Research- Risk of heart attack is higher in such women, most of them do not know the method of prevention.

Heart disease and heart attack are considered one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Studies show that although the risk of heart disease is higher in both men and women, more cases of heart attack have been seen in men as compared to women. In a recent study related to this, doctors of the Cardiology Department of PGI, Chandigarh have made a big claim. According to media reports, Dr. Neelam Dahiya, Assistant Professor of the department, has cautioned that women suffering from obesity may have a higher risk of heart disease and heart attack. Women whose weight is more than normal should take special care regarding heart health. According to the study report, obesity is the major risk factor in 44 percent of women suffering from heart disease. According to three years of data, women suffering from heart disease have more severe symptoms than men. Apart from this, 13-15 percent of women suffering from heart disease were below 50 years of age. Increased risk of heart disease in women Professor Neelam says the problem of being overweight has already been considered a major factor in heart diseases. This study also found obesity to be a major risk factor in more than half of the women suffering from heart disease. Only one percent of these women have a diet that can be considered good for heart health (enough fruits and vegetables). The most worrying thing is that most women have low awareness about heart disease and its related risk factors. Smoking and excess salt are increasing the risk Doctors in the study said that smoking and excessive salt intake are also known factors that increase heart disease. However, only 47 percent of women were advised to reduce salt intake and less than 30 percent were advised to quit smoking and eat a healthy diet. Health experts said these figures highlight the urgent need to create awareness about the risks of heart disease in women and take preventive measures to tackle its growing threat. If it is not taken care of in time, it can become a problem that poses a major health risk. Risk is also being seen in young women According to study reports, 10 percent of women suffering from heart disease are below 40 years of age. This is an even more worrying situation. Apart from obesity, increasing stress among youth has also been found to be one of the major risk factors for heart disease in India. Busy lifestyles and increasing mutual competition have also increased the problem of stress due to which even young people are struggling with heart health problems. The study's conclusion? The findings of the study show that Indian people consume more salt and sugar while in comparison they consume less vegetables and fruits. Obesity is increasing due to carbs, calories, sweet things, and trans fat. Apart from this, sitting for a long time and lack of physical activity can also lead to weight gain, which can directly increase heart disease. All people have been advised to make efforts to lose weight and maintain good heart health from an early age. (PC: ISTOCK)

Joint Pain: Is there pain in joints? You can get relief even without medicines with these three measures.

The problem of joint pain can occur at any age. You may suffer from joint pain due to arthritis, bone pain, swelling, and some other conditions. Doctors say a disease called osteoporosis-osteoarthritis is considered to be the main reason for joint pain, with time its risk is increasing even among the youth. Osteoarthritis occurs when the articular cartilage in your joint breaks down. In these conditions, the bones of the joints rub against each other and due to this friction, severe pain can be experienced. Health experts said that disturbances in lifestyle and diet can also increase joint pain. If you also have this problem often, then definitely consult a specialist and get the cause of pain properly diagnosed. Let us know with the help of which home remedies we can get relief from joint pain. Joint pain problem Health experts say that depending on the causes of arthritis and the symptoms of joint pain, the methods of its treatment may be different for all people. There are mainly two types of arthritis inflammatory and non-inflammatory. In non-inflammatory arthritis, symptoms can be relieved with the help of some measures even without medicines. If you also often have joint pain, then these measures should be taken seriously. Keep practicing regular exercise and stretching In the early stages of joint pain, regular exercise and stretching can help reduce the inflammation of arthritis and provide relief from joint pain. Stretching reduces the extra pressure on the muscles and maintains proper blood circulation. Relief from pain can be achieved by maintaining proper blood circulation in the muscles. Heat-cold therapy Applying heat-cold therapy to the affected joints can also provide temporary relief from pain and swelling. Heat therapy such as a hot water bath or heating pad improves blood circulation and reduces muscle stiffness. Whereas cold therapy like ice packs can reduce swelling and joint pain. With the help of cold therapy, pain receptors become numb. These measures can also be very effective in getting relief from pain. It is important to prevent weight gain Excess weight can put extra pressure on joints like the knees and hips, leading to increased pain and swelling. A balanced diet and regular exercise can help in maintaining weight control. To reduce stress and discomfort on joints, it is important to keep body weight low. Improving lifestyle and diet can help in improving joint problems to a great extent. (PC: ISTOCK)

Fujifilm X100 VI review: A one-of-a-kind camera for street photography and travel

Fujifilms X100 V became a surprising viral hit thanks to influencers who loved not only its performance but also its retro-chic cool factor. Now, the company has launched its successor, the similar-looking but more-capable X100 VI . Its only been on sale a short time, but retailers are already reporting months-long waiting lists. It features some key improvements over the previous model, including a much higher-resolution 40-megapixel sensor, in-body stabilization and better video. At the same time, it retains the looks and compact size people loved about the X100 V. I couldnt wait to get a hold of one to check out the performance for myself and see if its worth a purchase or upgrade. To test, I hopped on the Eurostar over to London with my French photographer friends to see if its worth the high price and considerable wait. Body and handling The X100 series is beloved in large part because of the vintage rangefinder camera styling, and Fujifilm didnt mess with that. In addition to the near-identical looks, the X100 VIs button and dial layout is unchanged. Fujifilm also kept the previous models 23mm f/2 lens. To accommodate the in-body stabilization, the X100 VI is slightly chunkier and weighs 18.4 ounces, about 1.4 ounces more than before. Thats not much, but every bit counts for a camera designed to be carried around all day. The control design with dedicated dials for ISO, shutter, aperture and exposure compensation is a bit old-fashioned compared to modern cameras. But it does serve a purpose, showing settings at a glance. Thats a must for shooting on the fly. The X100 VI isnt just cosplaying as a rangefinder, either. On top of the 3.69-million dot electronic viewfinder (same as the last model), it offers a rangefinder-style optical finder and a hybrid of the two with a picture-in-picture EVF. The last setting is for people who still want a digital security blanket, and it works very well. Also unchanged is the rear display, allowing basic up and down tilting for high or low angle shooting. Thats not great for selfies or vlogging, but perfect for shooting from the hip. The menu system is mostly the same, which is a good thing as its relatively easy to find key settings. To avoid diving in, though, you can use the quick menu and numerous buttons and dials for easier adjustments. Its also customizable and Id advise buyers to set it up to their preferences to avoid any shooting errors. The X100 VI has a single slot that only supports slower UHS-I cards, unfortunately, along with a USB-C port for charging and data. The MicroHDMI port also lets you use external recorders, though the tiny camera looks awkward with one attached. Finally, the battery is the same smallish one as before, unfortunately more on that in a bit. Performance Samuel Dejours for Engadget Despite the higher resolution, the X100 VI still shoots at a decent 11 fps, with buffer space for about 17 uncompressed RAW frames. JPEG bursts are a bit faster at 13 fps in electronic shutter mode and the buffer size jumps to 37 frames in that case. Unless you really need total silence, the mechanical shutter is your best bet. Its very quiet, and youll see considerable rolling shutter in electronic mode. Autofocus is much-improved compared to the V. Its more reliable for subject tracking and adds new autofocus modes for animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, airplanes and trains. Fujis eye- and subject-detection are in separate modes though, forcing you to change settings. Fujifilms AF system was already middling, lagging behind Sony and Canon. The X100 VI is even less effective than Fujifilms larger X-H2 and X-T5 , due to the slowish motors on the fixed lens. That means focusing on moving subjects is a bit hit or miss. That said, burst shooting is not what this camera is for and the fact that its decent at all is a bonus. Steve Dent for Engadget In-body stabilization might be the biggest improvement to come to the X100 lineup. With six stops of shake reduction, you can get sharp photos down to about a quarter second. That lets you blur motion to make interesting, creative shots. The optical finder takes some getting used to, as its not a direct view through the lens like with DSLRs. Its off to the side of the lens, so this parallax means subjects that are close to the camera may not be framed the way you expect. Thats why the EVF insert mode is so handy as it supplies a second true view of the scene. One issue is battery life, with only 450 shots on a charge or 310 if you use the EVF. I found that one battery wasnt enough for a full days shooting, so factor extra ones into your buying decision. You may also want an external charger, as Fujifilm doesnt supply one in the box. Image quality The 40MP sensor obviously delivers a big boost in resolution over the X100 Vs 26MP. The extra pixels are also handy if you need to crop in, which is a common requirement with a fixed wide-angle lens camera. And while the lens is the same as before, its sharp enough to resolve the extra detail. If this sensor seems familiar, thats because its the same as the one on the X-T5 and X-H2, so the image quality here is similar to those. In-camera treatment of JPEG and 10-bit HEIF files is handled well, with pleasant, accurate colors and a nice balance of noise reduction and detail. You can often share photos straight out of the camera, too, something thats important to street photographers who do little to no post-processing. The 14-bit RAW photos offer plenty of room for fine-tuning, even in bright or dark areas. However, if you underexpose shots and try to boost levels, noise can get out of hand compared to a full-frame camera. The higher resolution doesnt hurt image quality much at higher ISOs. Noise is well controlled up to ISO 6400, and you can go up to 12800 if exposure is set correctly. I was impressed with the quality when shooting in bars and other dark environments. And of course, the X100 VI offers Fujifilms full array of film simulation modes. You can experiment with popular looks like Velvia, Eterna or Acros black and white, and still have a full-color RAW backup. As the only major camera company also selling 35mm film, Fujis simulations are the most pleasing and realistic. Video The X100 VIs excellent video specs are another bonus. It has nearly the same feature set as the X-T5, so you can shoot 6.2K at 30 fps with a 1.23x crop, or 4K at up to 60 fps with line-skipping and a 1.14x crop. The camera also offers sub-sampled 4K at up to 30p using the full sensor width, or high-quality 4K 30p with a 1.23x crop. Fujifilm also introduced 10-bit and F-Log2. Samuel Dejours for Engadget It took me a while to get used to the different modes and cropping levels. At 6.2K and 4K HQ, rolling shutter is pronounced so youll need to be aware of that. At the same time, full-sensor sub-sampled 4K is noticeably more low-res than the HQ mode. Video autofocus matches what I saw with photos, meaning it was decent but not super reliable for moving subjects. The AI-powered AF did lock onto subjects, but again, couldnt always keep up to flying birds, animals or vehicles. Handheld video is now a realistic option with in-body stabilization. It worked well as long as I didnt move around much, and offers a boost mode that smooths out jiggles further. Digital stabilization is also an option, but isnt supported with the 6K or HQ modes, and doesnt really reduce jolts for walking or fast movements. Video quality is solid for a small compact camera, offering the same accurate colors you see in JPEG photo modes. Shooting in 10-bit F-Log makes it possible to adjust footage considerably in post or get creative. You can also shoot video using the film simulation modes if you want a specific look straight out of the camera. Wrap-up Samuel Dejours for Engadget Fujifilm has made all the right moves to keep the X100 VIs popularity high by tucking a very competent street and travel camera into a beautiful retro-cute body. The extra resolution, in-body stabilization and new video features should be more than enough to tempt owners to upgrade. At $1,600, the X100 VI doesnt have a lot of competition which is odd, given its success. Leica springs to mind with the Q3, though that costs a whopping $6,000. Another option is the $1,000 Ricoh GR IIIx, which also offers in-body stabilization and an ND filter. However, resolution is lower at 24MP and it lacks the X100 VIs high-end video features. Sonys ZV-1 II is also in this compact category, but its mostly designed for video. Keep an eye on Panasonic, as it may release a new compact camera, according to recent rumors. In any case, if youre in the market for a high-end compact and can afford the X100 VI, I wouldnt hesitate theres a lot of camera inside that beautiful body.
