＜Original Notice＞
It could not work. And it didn’t.
Fujifilm USA and Europe opened the door to scalpers by deciding to sell the limited edition Fujifilm X100VI on a first-come-first-served basis.
Well, today was D-Day, and of course all units available today sold out within minutes.
The demand was so high, that the Fujifilm USA website even crashed as we can see also from reports over at our massive X100 user group.
And then the inevitable happened: within minutes, lots of overpriced Fujifilm X100VI limited edition cameras started to show up on eBay (usually sold for around 5K).
So far all as we expected.
But now Fujifilm USA has issued a statement (see above), that they are “manually verifying orders for fraud and suspicious activity“.
So not only the server crashed due to the traffic overload, but it seems also other problems might have occured.
We can only speculate on the nature of the potential fraud Fujifilm is investigating. Maybe some people found ways to grab several units using different accounts?
We do not know, but at least it’s good to know that Fujifilm USA is aware of it and looking into it.
Well, I guess that after all the rumors we saw this one coming. But at least now it is official in terms of “rumors”.
The Fujinon XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 will be announced together with the Fujifilm X-T50.
So the Fujifilm X-T50 will be the first camera to be offered bundled with the new Fujinon XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8.

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 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:

Fujifilm USA has decided the procedure to grab the limited edition Fujifilm X100VI in USA. It’s not a lottery like in Japan, but a regular first-come-first system. So here is how it goes.
If you miss out on it, you can always grab it second for 18,000 USD later on on eBay :D.
