During the last few days, I have been researching, and considering the purchase of a new FUJI X 100 V camera…. After lots of mumbling so grumbling and head scratching, I decided to go ahead….

To my utter surprise and dismay….I discover, today that they are like, hens teeth…. No camera store with miles has one…. EBay stock is from ~Japan or the USA at a premium… Amazon no stock… London Camera Exchange no stock…. Any ideas anyone….?
I fancy the silver and black body….

Or….do , I simply stick with my trusty, tried and tested LUMIX GX9 ?

Comments and observations welcome.

I am surprised you did not know that there has been a chip shortage for some time now. I bought a new camera just over 12 months ago as this problem had already been identified. I bought my new Sony before there was a shortage.

I really need a new PC but decided to postpone as I am not keen on the changeover period. The shortage is longer than predicted but I can manage with my PC; it is just a bit slow.

I honestly didn’t think that the chip shortage was as bad……

I too am thinking of holding off until things return to normal … or Fuji Bring out an even later model.

Chip shortage tell me about it, I ordered a new Mercedes GLA 5th July last year. I spoke to them recently and was told it will be another year, so I cancelled the order. 2 years to get a new car is a joke.
So now I have ordered a Hyundai Tuscon, they tell me I will have it last week in July, I won’t hold my breath. So things are far from been over, in anything that needs these chips
