When Fujifilm announced its new X100VI rangefinder-style camera at a press event in Japan last month, it teased a special version of the camera: the X100VI Limited Edition. Following an announcement on its Instagram channel today, we now know that sales of the Limited Edition model in the US will be limited to just 300 cameras.
According to Fujifilm, 100 cameras will be sold daily in the US from March 21st to March 23rd on a first-come, first-served basis, and you’ll need to buy them directly from Fujifilm’s online store, so if you want one, you’ll need to move quickly (and maybe have a bit of luck to boot).
Here’s a rundown of where to order the X100VI Limited Edition in different countries:

The X100VI Limited Edition will have a production run of just 1,934 cameras worldwide, a nod to the company’s founding in 1934. Limited Edition cameras are available in silver and have Fujifilm’s original logo engraved on the top plate and matching lens cap. Each camera will be individually numbered from 0001 to 1934, with numbers engraved on the camera’s hot shoe. The camera will also include a titanium shutter button, a soft-release shutter button accessory, a special strap, and Fujifilm history cards.
At the camera’s launch event, Fujifilm indicated that the Limited Edition would have an MSRP of $2,000, a $400 premium over the standard model’s list price of $1,600. However, considering the cult following recent models of the X100 series have developed, we’ll likely see prices go higher on the resale market. Although one hopeful eBay seller famously listed a Limited Edition model at an eye-watering $18,000, a search of sold items on eBay shows that at least a couple of Limited Edition cameras have sold for prices over $4,000.
Even the standard edition X100VI can be hard to come by right now, but unlike the Limited Edition, it’s available to order today.
