Amazon is canceling existing Fujifilm X100VI pre-orders

By PR admin | Published: July 19, 2024

FujiAddict reports that Amazon is canceling existing Fujifilm X100VI pre-orders (not the first time this is happening):

“It appears that Amazon is canceling some Fujifilm X100VI orders because the camera is out of stock. In my experience, Amazon generally sends out an E-mail to confirm if you still want to wait for the order to be filled, but it appears that this customer was never contacted.”

Currently, Amazon has the Fujifilm X100VI camera in stock for ridiculous prices:

It seems that the new Canon EOS R1 camera is a flop based on the number of pre-orders so far

By PR admin | Published: July 19, 2024

I talked to a few retailers, and it seems that the new Canon EOS R1 camera did not even get close to the number of pre-orders stores have been used to receive for the latest releases from Sony, Nikon (Z8/Z9), and even Fuji (X100). Of course, pre-orders are not an indication of how good a camera is, but sales and creating buzz are still important.

There are plenty of YouTube videos, reviews, and posts on social media describing the various issues with the R1 – they mainly include the price, the 24MP sensor, and the designation of being a “flagship” camera:

If you are still planning to get the R1, here are some pre-order links:
