Fujifilm GFX100RF, X-M5 and X100VI Orders Resumed, but Demand is “Incredibly High”

Due to US tariff policy, Fujifilm stopped to take orders on the Fujiiflm GFX100RF, black Fujifilm X-M5 and the Fujifilm X100VI, as we reported here.

However, it looks like stores are now opening pre-orders again, since you can pre-order it again at most stores.

At the time of this post B&H Photo has still the “request assistance notice on all of these cameras, but that should be gone any moment now.

You can place your order other stores such as at Adorama for GFX100RF here, for black X-M5 here and for X100VI here and at Moment for GFX100RF here, X-M5 here and X100VI here.

Adorama expects to have stock for all of this gear in August 2025.

Moment writes for all of them:

As of June 2nd, 2025, orders for the Fujifilm GFX100RF have resumed. Due to incredibly high demand, there is still a significant Pre-order wait.

Don’t ask me how long this will last. I know some tariffs have been lowered significantly, and that definitely helped to give shipping a chance.

But I have no idea for how long this time window will remain open.

Fujifilm Europe Massive Sell Out of 5th Generation Cameras and Lots of XF/GF Lenses

Last week, Fujifilm UK launched significant rebates on nearly every 5th-generation X-Series camera—excluding the new X-M5 and the wildly popular X100VI. Now, the rest of Europe has followed suit, with similar discounts rolling out across the continent.

But keep in mind: rebates might vary by country, and even within the same market, prices can differ between retailers. The discounts listed here (in €) reflect current German store promotions, but your local deal might be slightly different.

And don’t forget to compare prices across multiple stores as there might be differences. For example:

You know why this is happening, right?

It’s all going to be impossible to sell once this beautiful camera is out ;).

  • ATTENTION 1: In Germany these are Cashback Deals
  • ATTENTION 2: AmazonDE is not listed among the authorized reseller for these particular cashback deals. However, I will list AmazonDE below, because in some cases they have better or same prices. Please compare prices. Fotokoch, Fotoerhardt and Calumet are all eligable for cashback.

Amazon Still Takes Fujifilm GFX100RF Pre-Orders (with Price Guarantee)

Amazon US is still taking pre-orders for the Fujifilm GFX100RF in both colors, black or silver, with pre-order price guarantee.

Since announcement, Amazon has only rarely opened and taken pre-orders for the Fujifilm GFX100RF, so they might have a shorter pre-order list compared to other big online retailers. So maybe they still have some more GFX100RF in the warehouse than pre-orders, hence they are still taking orders. If you want it in silver, also Adorama still takes orders.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Now Shipping in USA

It might seem nothing special, but given the circumstances it is quite a good news this time.

The Fujifilm GFX100RF started shipping in USA as reported over at the massive Fujifilm GFX group.

So our previous report that a first Fujifilm GFX100RF shipment reached US soil before the tariffs hit was accurate.

But that might well be the only good news. Pre-orders have basically stopped in USA as we reported here.

It remains to see if enough GFX100RF units arrived to the US to ship out at least all pre-orders. But I doubt that.
