Availability of Fujifilm's sought-after cameras, such as the X100VI and X-M5, now evident... restricted exclusively to those residing in specific locations.
In the world of photography, the demand for Fujifilm cameras continues to soar, with the Fujifilm X100VI and X-M5 models being no exception. However, recent changes in production and stock status have led to limited availability of these popular cameras in the US.
The Fujifilm X100VI, a premium compact camera known for its versatility and high-quality images, is listed at major US retailers such as B&H Photo, Amazon, Adorama, Moment, and Nuzira. However, the "Made in Japan" versions of this camera sold out rapidly after becoming available, and currently, B&H Photo shows the X100VI as “request assistance,” indicating limited or no immediate stock.
The Fujifilm X-M5, a compact mirrorless camera, is also available from B&H Photo, Amazon, Adorama, Moment, and Nuzira, with both black and silver color options. Like the X100VI, the X-M5 production has moved from China to Japan for the US market to mitigate tariffs, and retailers are shifting to the Japanese-made versions, which are preferred by many US customers.
If you want to ensure you are purchasing the Japanese-made versions, look for SKUs with "JP" (e.g., FUXT5BJP) or explicitly check the product listing details at these retailers.
Here's a quick summary of the current availability:
| Camera Model | Availability in US | Retailers | Notes | |--------------------|------------------------------|---------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------| | Fujifilm X100VI | Limited stock; sells out fast | B&H Photo, Amazon, Adorama, Moment, Nuzira | Japanese-made versions sold out quickly; "request assistance" status at B&H Photo | | Fujifilm X-M5 | Available | B&H Photo, Amazon, Adorama, Moment, Nuzira | Japanese-made versions available; check SKU for JP designation |
