Let's talk about the X-T30!

Who here has preordered it? Has anyone gotten any updates on when they are being shipped out? Does anyone with experience with previous Fujifilm cameras know if preorders are usually quickly filled? Or should we expect delays?

Where have you all preordered from?
 
I talked to someone at my local camera shop here in Toronto, and he told me they are expecting an abundant supply on launch day (due to them being made in China now), and there is no need to preorder. Just come into the store and buy it he said.

That being said, I already own an XH1 and XT3, so I don’t need another body right now, tempting as this tiny body is for travel. I’m thinking to pick up a heavily discounted XT20 or XE3 on the used market once the XT30 comes out, and people are looking to upgrade.
 
Thanks for the info! I currently have multiple preorders to ensure I can get it in time for trip at the end of the month. Hoping it comes before then!

I have been impatiently waiting since I put in my order on the 16th. It's been 11 years since I last bought a DSLR (Canon XSi) and six years since I stopped shooting regularly and honestly can't contain my excitement.

I have a big trip coming up, and it seemed like a great time to get back into it and lo and behold the X-T30 was announced. I ended up with the 15-45mm kit with the 23mm F2 discounted. I also picked up a gray market version of the 27mm from eBay for a great price. I figured the wide angle on the 15-45mm would be an excellent complement to the two primes for my trip.

I am looking forward to exploring how the tech's changed in the last decade or so!

Me too but once I saw the $300 discount on the lens kit, I just plunged in.
 
I ordered mine through Henrys in Toronto and expect it to arrive shortly after the due date. Looking forward. First Fuji in twenty years!

Just got a shipping update for my x-t30 pre-order. Expected delivery date on March 27. For reference, I pre-ordered on February 22 -- so I wasn't the one of the first pre-orders but I was relatively early.

Which merchant?

Ah! Where’d you order from and did you get a kit?

Amazon (get that 5% back with my prime card). Ordered the 18-55 kit and bundled it with the 50mm f2 with the $300 off deal you see on all the sites. Got that lens within 2 days of the order.

Amazon Prime shipping are usually 2 days. If they give an ETA of 3/27, then obviously it has not been shipped out yet, may not even by Friday.
 
I placed my order on Amazon March 5, and I have a March 27th delivery estimate. Anyone know how set in stone these are? If they hadn’t already shipped my 35mm f2 lens for the bundle deal, I’d be tempted to cancel and try to pick one up in person at Adorama tomorrow (I’m in nyc). Oh well! I can wait another week.
 
I was just at Adorama and they said they’ll probably get them in Friday so people will start getting them next week. I’m going to try and pick mine up Sunday if they have them though.
 
And now its March 29th. At the rate this is changing I might actually get it this week.
My date hasn't changed yet. They probably won't get it in stock until ~March 25, which is why the earliest Amazon delivery date seems to be March 27. Let us know if your delivery date moves up to before then.
 
I just stopped by B&H just now and spoke to a Fuji rep. He said they probably have the stock in-store already and should be available for sale/shipping tomorrow. I’ll definitely be calling Adorama tomorrow afternoon to see if I can pick it up since they are closed for Purim Thursday and they don’t ship on weekends.
 
Adorama is preparing to ship mine finally! Placed order 3/5 so I dont think there should be any delays for people who didnt order right away. So excited! First camera purchase in 6 years!
 
I saw that change on mine too! I’m going to call them tomorrow and see if they can just hold mine for pickup rather than receive it next week.
