We’re in the final few days of the initial Fujifilm X100VI preorders window and most retailers are still taking customer orders – for now. As expected, this latest iteration of Fuji’s much-hyped X100 series is shaping up to be the most popular camera launch of 2024 and it’s looking like there could be delivery delays.
As of writing, Fujifilm X100VI preorders have already sold out over at Amazon and most retailers are now committing to a first come first serve basis for fulfilling any orders. We’ve listed out the best retailers in the US and UK just down below and we’re also updating this page with the latest delivery estimates as we spot them.
Right now, no retailers have shifted from the full retail price of $1,599 / £1,599 or offered any other preorder incentives of any kind. If this changes, we’ll of course amend this page with the latest news, although we wouldn’t expect any discounts since this camera is likely to fly off the shelves.

Fujifilm X100VI preorders: FAQs
When are Fujifilm X100VI preorders being delivered?
Updated 02/27: Fujifilm X100VI preorders are still open at a number of retailers but it’s looking like there will potentially be a wait before the cameras themselves are delivered. You’ll want to carefully check each retailer’s product page for the relevant information specific to that store. Most retailers right now are saying they will fulfill orders on a first come first serve basis, so if you preorder today, you could be in for a wait.
According to reports in Japan, Fujifilm has significantly upped the production for the X100VI to 15,000 units per month – which is likely due to the camera now being manufactured in China. Still, this camera is proving incredibly popular right now with 500,000 people registering their interest to preorder in China alone.
Is the Fujifilm X100VI worth preordering?
– 40MP APSC sensor
– In-body stabilization
– Improved autofocus
We’ve just posted our Fujifilm X100VI hands-on review if you’re interested in a full rundown of this latest model. In short, the X100VI is an outstanding compact camera that’s every bit worthy of its now almost-legendary predecessor.
While Fuji hasn’t messed with the formula much, you’re getting the latest tech from the brand’s flagship Fujifilm X-T5 in the familiar X-series body here, which means a massive jump in resolution to 40MP, improved autofocus and – for the first time ever with an X-Series camera – in-body image stabilization.
Generally speaking, however, its main selling points remain the same from the previous iteration. You get old-school exposure controls, a hybrid viewfinder and a fixed 23mm f/2 lens all wrapped up in a gorgeous design that harkens back to the classic rangefinders. All the famous Fujifilm film simulation pre-sets are present here for those excellent straight-out-of-camera JPEGs, too.
So, if you’re looking for one of the best compact cameras money can buy, then a X100VI preorder is likely to be a decent investment – especially if the VI proves as popular as its predecessor.
Will the X100VI sell out at other retailers?
Early reports have suggested that the new X100VI has been the most successful Fujifilm launch to date, so there’s definitely a high possibility that preorders will start to sell out at other retailers.
As previously stated, the previous Fujifilm X100V model blew up in popularity a few years ago and was incredibly hard to get brand-new at retailers. Stock issues got so bad, in fact, that second-hand cameras were selling for much higher than the original asking price ($1,399 / £1,299) a year or two ago.
Because of this, it’s likely safer to get your preorder in early. As with most in-demand products, we don’t expect discounts on the X100VI for a good few months down the line so it’s probably not waiting it out for a deal with the risk of missing out.
