Where can I find an X-E4?

Does it have Acros?

If you want Acros, (and about 40 other film simulations), use DxO and then you can buy any camera you want.

I´m a RAW user and I agree somewhat. However, many people buy Fuji to use jpegs.

Fair point.

Though as a new-to-Fuji-for-second-time user, I'm still trying to get a JPEG to match what I can do in RAW with minimal adjustments - but that is the subject for a different thread...

I always really liked the SOOC jpegs from my XE3 and X100V, but I always found myself still tweaking them just a little in the photos app on my iPhone before posting them. Even then, I was always still just a little happier out of what I got from the RAW files plus minor tweaks in Lightroom Mobile.

Interestingly, because I was mostly using my iPhone to edit my Fujifilm files, I noticed zero time savings from shooting JPEG and loading the files to the photos app vs shooting in RAW and loading the photos to Lightroom Mobile and applying a preset.

Probably though, this is all just a personal preference at the end of the day.

Yep, that's me. I know the raw workflow well enough and understand the benefits. But for me, the disadvantages far outweigh them. I used to work on slides from time to time in my film days and work like that now. One chance, one button press, that's it. Aside from the fact that I don't have free time I could spend in post, I also like the direct and in-touch nature of this workflow.

The most efficient way is to order from more than one shop and cancel the others when you get the first confirmation. You’ll need a card which can accommodate this, but that’s the reality.

Looks like all the retailers are out, used sellers are price gouging and used websites don't have any stock - what other places haven't I tried?

Fuji is too busy making their XT and XH cameras that they forgot lots of people want an X-E4, an X-Pro, or an X100V.

Maybe the X-E5 will be available before stores restock the X-E4. Who knows? In the meantime scalpers are very happy, a friend bought a new silver body with the 27mm mark ii on Amazon (from a 3rd party seller) for $1500.

Place an order at a store (or several) and wait… and where are you located?

I'm in the US - California. I put a stock alert on BH and Adorama months ago with no luck.

Well on a lot volume supply item, you may never get a stock alert from B&H. While I have registered many stock alerts with B&H, I have never received one. I got frustrated waiting for the 27/2.8. The status said 2-4 weeks estimated. I put one on order and was shocked to receive shipped status in 3 days later. If you want one, put it on order. As an aside, I got an email from B&H two weeks later that the 28/2.8 was still not in stock but will notify me when it does become available,

Now BH is not accepting orders for the X-E4, X-Pro3 or X100V:

"Due to market shortages/supply constraints, we are no longer accepting online orders for this item."

Maybe they should add: "Please refer to your scalper of preference to pay 2X retail price for this cameras."

Hey now…. I only sold my x100v for 30% more than MSRP… after two years of use and 20k clicks.
