Actually just based on what others have implied here.
Capacity out of China is twice as much (unit wise) as it was in Japan. Here's an interview with the Fuji managers where one of them clearly states the move to China vs Japan was to increase capacity.

Did Fuji actually state that they moved production to China to be able to produce more units faster or is that just speculation?Sharona wrote
I can see both sides of this, somewhat. But given the very strange demand for the 100V, Fuji knew there was going to be a very high pent-up demand for this camera; indeed, they moved production to China for this very reason. They should have had more available out of the gate. Just my very humble opinion. (And I was never looking for one, either, as I am A-OK with my V.)Capacity out of China is twice as much (unit wise) as it was in Japan. Here's an interview with the Fuji managers where one of them clearly states the move to China vs Japan was to increase capacity.
