I just got an itch for an X100v but for a 2yr old camera it seems like it’s in high demand and out of stock in retail(USA). Was it always this highly in demand since launch? How long has it been out of stock?

Seeing a lot of scams for them on Etsy (~$700, ships from overseas).

Yes, it's been in high demand for some time and increased in large part due to popularity on social media (TikTok). Last I heard they had a significant backlog of orders and Fuji in some (maybe all) regions were no longer accepting new orders from retailers.

I just looked and Amazon show 6 in black in stock, but shipped from a partner so I don't know how accurate that stock level is.

At the same time, Fuji have released several other models (XH2, XH2S, XT5) and likely needed to prioritise production and parts for those models instead.
