Limited Edition Fujifilm X100VI Sells Out Within Minutes All Over Europe, Except for UK Who Takes a Different Path

The X100VI Madness Continues

Today the limited edition Fujifilm X100VI was available for sale in almost all European countries.

And guess what?

It sold out within a few minutes everywhere.

The system Europe has set up: who comes first, gets the camera!

Of course this system is dream come true for scalpers, and I’d not be surprised if in a few days we will find 90% of the purchased limited edition X100VI cameras highly overpriced on eBay. Let’s see if somebody will be able to top the 18,000 USD X100VI limited edition.

Fujifilm UK Goes a Different Path

Fujifilm UK instead has decided to take a different path. A path that will make life to scalpers a bit more difficult.

Here is how Fujifilm UK will distribute their 110 units of limited edition X100VI cameras:

  • subscribe to the newsletter of Fujifilm UK
  • on March 25, subscribers will receive an email with a link
  • using that link, you can enter a ballot for the X100VI between March 25 and March 27
  • on April 2nd the winners will be selected and notified
  • on April 6 the winners can pay and pick up their limited edition X100VI at the House of Photography

Japanese Fujifilm managers gave an interview to dpreview.

  • without the success of the Fujifilm X100, there would probably not be any Fujifilm X series
  • the success of the X100 gave Fujifilm confidence
  • It’s the younger generation (who currently uses smartphones) that will drive photography. There is huge potential there
  • Fujifilm must think about the differences between smartphones and real cameras and understand what could motivate younger generation to use cameras
  • smartphone connectivity is important. Joy and operability of using a real camera is important too
  • operability, image quality and quality of the product itself are important
  • they talk AI, subject detection that improved operability of cameras
  • AI might continue to provide benefit for autofocus
  • focus demand for video is different compared to stills. In video focus has to change smoothly at the speed set by the videographer
  • X100 will never have a flip-out screen, even though video features are enhanced. It’s a photography centric line
  • it’s useful for Fujifilm to have different ranges, also two lines like X-T and X-H line. It’s about finding the balance between these lines
  • Fujifilm is determined to continue the X-Pro line

We remind you that Fuji Guy Billy recently said he expects the Fujifilm X-Pro4 to join the 5th generation platform, but that we will have to wait a little bit for that.
