Cameras 'Made in Japan' are selling out.

The Fujifilm X100VI series, despite having its production moved from China to Japan, immediately sold out.

According to Fujirumors , the Fujifilm X100VI camera, manufactured in Japan, not only arrived on schedule but also sold out immediately. Currently, on the B&H website, the product is listed as "request assistance," meaning it is out of stock and requires direct contact for further information.

Nearly two weeks prior, Fujifilm had moved the production of several of its camera models, including the X100VI, X-T5, X-T50, and X-M5, from China to Japan. This move was aimed at avoiding the high tariffs imposed by the US on goods. As a result, B&H Photo listed the new Fujifilm models manufactured in Japan on its website, while simultaneously marking the discontinuation of sales to the Chinese-made versions.

The distributor announced that "Made in Japan" devices, including the X100VI, would be delivered within 7-14 days. Fujirumors expressed skepticism about the feasibility of this timeframe. However, many readers emailed to confirm they received their Japanese-made X100VI on schedule, just 12 days after it was listed.

The X100VI is a high-end compact camera, launched in February 2024 at the X Summit Tokyo. The appeal of the X100VI stems from its rare combination of retro design, cinematic image quality, and the convenience of a portable, compact device. It is the successor to the X100V, which sold out globally in 2023–2024.

The X100V product line was initially assembled only in Japan, but this was insufficient to meet demand. The X100VI line was then moved to China, with the Philippines also participating in the supply chain. The company's US factory only produces printers and inkjet paper.

Given the already limited supply of the X100VI, the news of the camera selling out completely in a single day further solidifies its highly sought-after status. Below the article, some users commented that the Chinese-made version was also in short supply. Therefore, the fact that this new model sold out so quickly is not surprising.
