The Fujifilm X Series, highly praised by creators, is facing a supply shortage issue. Even the relatively stable "FUJIFILM X-H2" model has seen order suspensions at some stores.
"FUJIFILM X-H2" May Resume Orders
The "FUJIFILM X-H2" is known for its high-performance image sensor and multifunctionality. It has been popular not only among professional photographers but also amateurs seeking high-quality images. However, it is now expected to take up to four months from order to delivery. Nonetheless, there is no report of production completion from the manufacturer, leaving the possibility of order resumption open.

Supply Issues for "X-S20" and "X-T5" as Well
Similar challenges have emerged for other models, particularly the "X-S20" and "X-T5". The "X-S20" boasts high performance in a compact form, ideal for travel photography and everyday snapshots. Meanwhile, the "X-T5" is favored by video creators for its advanced video capabilities and portability. However, these models continue to face shortages both domestically and internationally, leading to backorders.

This supply shortage is due to component shortages and production delays, a challenge faced by many camera manufacturers.
The current delay in camera supplies, including Fujifilm, highlights the severity of supply chain issues in the camera industry. This is likely to become a long-term challenge, requiring consumers to adapt flexibly.
