Jeff, yes... we are all irrational buyers.

Brand value might be created by several reasons; by outstanding quality, by being use by role models aka famous people, by making it almost impossible to get, (even if it is not expensive etc.

Not disagreeing 🙂 As remarked above, irrationality in economics is a pretty well researched subject.

I just don’t buy the idea that Fuji is actively stoking those things by withholding supply of the X100V.

Fuji execs are well aware of how the market is behaving, they could leave the X100V in production and come up with a new camera... who knows.

My wish list considering I already have some Fuji primes waiting for it would be:

1. X100 with interchangeable lenses.

2. X-Pro with a more minimalistic, smaller body.

3. X-E with hybrid evf/optical finder.

Basically all 3 of the above would be the same thing LOL
