I agree with Jazz1. Are these people crazy?

I want an X 100 V. I am not willing to pay a premium for a new or used body. As a result, I am waiting for the X 100 VI to come out. I am assuming it will have IBIS & the new sensor. I am sorry the XPRO3 is also commands a premium.

It appears Fuji is not picking up the slack by increasing production of either of these models. Fair enough. I will not pay the premium the market is demanding. The good news, for me, is I have other Fuji gear. I will use the gear that I have. It is more than adequate for my needs. I can, and will, wait for the new iterations to be announced. At that point I will order the X100 VI. The same can be said for the XPRO4. It is a shame if you need this gear now.

It is good to know over time this problem will work itself out. I have the will, patience, frugality, and enough older gear to wait this situation out. YMMV.

I wish there was an easy way to fix these inflated prices. I’m still not sure what the real cause is. But I think there is danger that potential Fujifilm buyers old and new are going to delay purchases, or jump brands.

When someone like b&h only has the latest bodies like the X-T5 and their mainstream camera like the x-S10 in stock, I think it’s pretty clear. They just can’t make enough due to manufacturing constraints and parts issues. They have to decide what to make and when. It’s a sad time in the camera world. I’m sure it’s killing them knowing they are leaving money out there that could easily be theirs.  I see other brands with many models out of stock too.
