More than a year after the official announcement, the Fujifilm X100VI camera is still not in stock

By PR admin | Published: March 12, 2025


The Fujifilm X100VI camera that was announced in February 2024 is still not in stock anywhere (Amazon | B&H | Adorama | Koch |WEX). I reported a year ago that the X100VI would not be in stock anytime soon, which is still the case today.

After being labeled as “the most pre-ordered camera ever”, Fujifilm’s CEO commented that shortages are “normal” if you want to create brand power similar to Leica. At some point last year, Amazon started canceling existing X100VI pre-orders becuase they could not deliver them. Companies in China even started selling fake stickers that will turn your old X100 camera into an X100VI.

It seems that things are slowly improving because the  X100VI was recently the best-selling camera at one of the major camera stores in Japan (MAP Camera), indicating that a large number of cameras are being shipped from the factory.

Phototrend published their interview with Canon executives at the 2025 CP+ show. One of the questions was about a potential retro/vintage Canon camera.
