Fuji X100VI now in stock at B&H Photo Video !

> Hey everyone, Just saw the Fujifilm X100 VI will soon in stock at B&H Photo Video on November 12th. Honestly, be careful with these "in stock" alerts because B&H's backorder queue for the Fujifilm X100VI is basically miles long. Even if the page updates, your likely just joining a list that's months deep. From a technical standpoint, pay close attention to the Country of Origin (COO) tags in those links. The Japan-made units are extremely rare compared to the standard production stuff coming out of China, and mixing up there availability can lead to huge delays if you're waiting for a specific batch. If you just want the 40.2MP X-Trans 5 CMOS HR sensor and the latest IBIS, honestly, you're better off looking at the Fujifilm X-T50. It's more reliable to source right now and doesn't have the same supply chain bottleneck. Tbh, unless you specifically need the OVF for your workflow, the X-T50 or even the Fujifilm X-T5 are technically superior for actual professional use and way easier to find.

Building on the earlier suggestion, I have found that these high-demand launches require a very conservative approach if you actually want to receive your gear within a reasonable timeframe. In my experience, relying on a single large retailer is a significant risk that often leads to months of waiting. 1. My journey started when I tried to secure a predecessor to this model. I watched the status flip from Expected to Backordered within seconds, and my order stayed in limbo for nearly six months despite the in stock label. 2. I learned that these dates are frequently just placeholders provided by distributors. Technically, they dont account for the massive backlog of existing preorders that the store has to fulfill before they ever touch new sales. 3. Logistics are incredibly fragile right now. From what I have seen, a single delay at a shipping port or a minor manufacturing adjustment can reset the entire timeline for everyone on the list. It taught me to be patient and verify every piece of data before getting my hopes up... honestly, these trackers can be quite misleading tho. I usually find that checking with smaller local shops is a much more reliable strategy than fighting the masses at the giant warehouses.
