The Scalpers Cry

Scalpers on their Discord are quite pissed off now that their orders got canceled by Fujifilm USA.

And they are also not happy about the fact that the vigilant eyes of FujiRumors are watching what they write.

And we keep being vigilant, hence would like to highlight for Fujifilm one comment:

Fuji Raffle Module soon

Now, Fujifilm USA has not yet announced how the raffle will be organized (but they told us when, see below). But in any case I advise them to keep their attention high.

18K X100VI LE

And just for fun: we got information about a guy, who pictured himself with two limited edition Fujifilm X100VI cameras on Instagram and wrote:

What a beautiful piece. The limited edition Fujifilm x100vi. Going for $18k each!

You can check out his Instagram page here and make up your own mind. But my advice to the guy: rephrase your IG post to make sure no misunderstandings arise, because write this way it is not surprising if people thing that both of the cameras are sold for 18K (as we can notice from the comments, where people think he is selling them for 18K).

Fujifilm US Raffle

In the meantime Fujifilm USA has announced here the date for the Fujifilm X100VI LE raffle. It will take place on April 18 and further indications will follow next week.

Fujifilm Manager: X100VI Production Boost in 4/5 Months and The Importance of Film Simulations

Sonder Creative had an interview with a Fujifilm UK manager Andreas Georghiades:

  • Fujifilm cameras deliver film-like look from a digital camera
  • it’s since about 2 years now that people come to realize that
  • not only X100, but also X-T30 and X-T5 enjoyed increased popularity because of that
  • Fujifilm increased X100VI production, but demand is just way bigger than Fujifilm could have anticipated
  • currently production is 15,000 units per month
  • Fujifilm is looking on how to increase production
  • increased production should be achieved 4 to 5 months from now (admin note: hence summer 2024)
  • stock is coming in regularly for silver and black
  • Fujifilm marketing strategy is a lot about film simulations and show people that Fujifilm has 90 years history in knowing how color works and should it should look
