Yes, great camera, but people paying between $1750-2200 US dollars for one in the used market makes me wonder if this could make Fuji put the brakes on the possible release of a new model.

Why bother with version VI if the current one is hotter than ever?

I guess we could blame Tiktokers for making Fuji the new Leica.

It is really something how this camera has come on lately. I've randomly checked since it was released and don't think I ever saw it actually in stock (you could always order one, get on a list, and wait). I know, supply chain, etc., but there is a lot of money being left on the table here. To your point, it seems that it would be foolish to develop a new model when the old one would sell like hotcakes if they could just get it out.

And this hype is also getting to other Fuji models.

My wife's best friend is not even a photographer but saw somewhere an X-E4 and love it, so she bought a new silver kit with the 27mm for $1500 dollars.

The camera has been unopen in the box since she bought it 4 months ago and she told me the other day: "I am planning to use it someday this year". LoL

That type of attitude is what keeps the industry afloat.  People buy a new camera for a one week vacation and only use it then.  It’s crazy to me.
