So, it's been a while since earthquake and so forth...
Now I am curious: is it possible now to go to store (or on-line) in US and actually buy Fuji X100? Is it finally available like any other digital camera or still not?
Thanks.
 
I've only heard of waiting lists for them.

Saw a gent today at an AV show with an X100, got to at least play with it.
Front end short but stout; although some of the control rings seemed a bit pressed up toward the body, similar to a v.2 35/14 Lux on an M8/RD1s body.
I mean its didnt seem the best ergo-wise, but was nice and compact and light.
 
They must be available over here in Europe somewhere. I just cams back from Arles and the place was crawling with them, although there were still more Leicas around than anything else.

But if you are in USA and buy from a store in Candada, your warranty may not be valid.

They are not in stock anywhere in USA from what I have found. Of course I have not spend hours and hours looking.

(the OP asked specifically about USA)

Yes, that was my question.
I did try that Canadian link and yes, I can order it for $1190 right now.
But warranty aside, I just don't understand why in the heck it's nowhere in US and freely sold in Canada?
 
I saw 3 in stock at Aden Camera downtown Toronto last week. I hate that store, though and would never give them my money again.

Camera Craft in Sault Ste Marie, ON has one on the shelf.

canadians are more popular and well liked?

or many legitimate sales. This is a hot camera in the USA.

What's "legitimate" got to do with it?

Artificial scarcity is a perfectly legitimate sales strategy, too. It actually increases the hotness of the thing.

Meaning they've sold a lot of these... so I'm not so sure there was ever artificial scarcity... scracity yes, but artificial probably not. I think the disasters in Japan had more to do with it than anything.
