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

Yes I agree, demand exceeds the supply

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.

Somewhat disagree. There’s a market for a high end compact fixed lens camera, and Fujifilm is not cashing in on it, of course it’s pure speculation, I think Fujifilm just didn’t anticipate the rise in popularity due to unpredictable trends on social media platforms, combined with the exacerbated chip shortage.
