Re: How come is the X100V so expensive nowadays?

At my preferred dealers, Adorama and B&H, the camera is MSRP but is out of stock. You can order it and they will ship it when one is available. Many other outfits have it in stock, but at an inflated price. (Lots of people order at MSRP and, when it comes it, flip it on eBay or wherever.)

This is same for a Toyota RAV4 Prime or the G-Shock 2100 when it first came out.

The simple answer to your question is that the demand exceeds supply. If you want the camera at MSRP, just order it from Adorama.

Why won't Fuji make more? Only they know, but my guess is that they can only make so many cameras and cameras with interchangeable lenses are closer to their long-term strategy. They also want to sell lenses! The X100 series is a specialty model, out of the main line.
