The bad news… and a message of hope
AmazonUS changed again the delivery of the X100S. In the meantime J&R completely removed the X100S from their store now. Here is what a FR-reader wrote me:
“Note that J&R, one of the FujiRumors links has dropped the X100s altogether due to Fuji’s continuing non-poerformance with delivery. It is off of their site and I got this email from J&R about the X100s:
You submitted a stock alert requesting to be notified when we have the item(s) below back in stock. We are sorry to inform you that due to circumstances beyond our control, we are unable provide you with this information. At the current time, we are unable to obtain sufficient information from the manufacturer as to when or if we will be receiving another shipment.”
But hey, I don’t wanna leave you without a message of hope. I’ve just received also an email from John:
“Really, all I can say is, fu….., finally. Actually, I can say this too. It’s as good as the hype has been. That OVF is just magical.”
cheers

It’s really unfortunate and quite dissapointing how a company of Fuji’s caliber is handling the X100s. Can we have X-E2 or X-Pro2 rumors, please.
+1
I walked into many stores here in Singapore 2 months ago, they all had stock of the x100s and I went around to get the best price, even got a free leather case, memory card, extra battery, dry box and crappy tripod thrown in.
in Italy too and Dubai too
If you are still waiting for the X100s, keep waiting. It is totally worth it! My favourite camera of all time!
I am feeling luckier and luckier every day at having pre-ordered early enough to get one of the first batch X100S cameras.
x100s in Italy is available in many store in 3 days..
if you are going to plan a journey in Italy ….in the north part (Milan)…you found it
I too am glad I placed a pre-order the day the X100s was announced. I received my copy in late March, just in time for my trip to Japan, and have been enjoying it since. Interestingly, on my Japan trip the big Tokyo electronic retailers didn’t have the X100s on display at that time.
I hate to sound like Mr. Rockwell, but pre-ordering on the first day (maybe the second day is still ok) is really the best policy against being on a long backorder, like the US market is seeing. I pre-ordered with B&H, Adorama, and Amazon and waited for the first store to ship (Adorama), then cancelled the other orders. Yes, I am disappointed that Fuji is not taking care of the US market better than are experiencing. Other countries seem to not have problems with inventory.
Cliff,
Do you have any of your Fuji Japan pictures online anywhere?
I’d love to see them.
Gee. Two of my local camera stores have had one on their shelves for the last week. Very surprising.
