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).

When I bought mine in 2021 I did have to order it, but not a long wait as I recall. Maybe someone on here has bought one more recently and can advise how long it took from order to receipt?

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.

I just got one last week directly from the Fuji US web store. They restock periodically so you have to visit often and have some luck. No need to pay crazy prices unless you are in a hurry. They are out there and direct from Fuji or smaller shops look like the best approach. Avoid anything that HotStock tracks because there's a better chance of bots. There's also an X100V community on Reddit where people are helping each other find them.
