At this point, we now expect to ship your order by December 31st based on the latest information we have received from Fujifilm. Once your order ships, you will receive a shipping confirmation email.

I guess I should be excited. My email today said they hope to know something by November 7th. What a shitshow.Wow, pre-order a camera just a few days after it's available and then wait almost a year to receive it! I'm not sure who's to blame, but it's definitely a bad outcome for the consumer.
These wait times are nuts, and they are even worse combined with all of the other examples of Fujifilm’s inability to actually deliver products. They make some fine gear, but…
… when I checked a while back about half of the GFX system lenses were listed as unavailable on the Fujifilm web site.
… cameras disappear with little or no information, and product lines are left hanging — see the XPro line.
… wait times for man products (not just the X100vi) have been extremely long. I waited something like a year to have an order for the 27mm f/2.8 filled. (Fortunately, I still had the previous model.) Reportedly it is still hard to get a XT5.
Some initial product shortages should be no surprise. This happens with new products from almost every camera company when new models arrive and demand initially surpasses the company's ability to produce and deliver. These delays might be weeks or occasionally a month or so.
But here we continue to see products that simply aren’t available, sometimes for many months or a year, and they are not just the new, hot products.
What is strange is that Fujifilm should be able to solve this. And if they did they could take advantage of a whole lot of public interest in their products. And if they did that they could grow market share. What explains this? I don’t know the answe, but it looks like there are critical problems with production and planning.
