Where to buy the Fujifilm X100VI: current delivery estimates and the best retailers

Trying to get a hold of a Fujifilm X100VI? You're not alone. This much-hyped compact fixed-lens camera is easily one of the most successful camera launches we've seen for a long time, with demand massively outstripping supply.

It's been almost one full year since release, and unsurprisingly - most retailers still have this camera on backorder. We've seen brief glimmers of hope over the past few weeks, however, with actual in-stock cameras cropping up at major retailers in the UK. Over in the US, all signs are pointing to reduced wait times, too.

I've outlined the best retailers to check out just below - which includes both regions that I've just mentioned. It's worth checking each retailer as this page is I sometimes don't have this page updated in time for the new stock drops - and you never know, right? I've also included what I think is the best route for securing a camera in the US just below - as well as a few alternative models that we've personally reviewed here at TechRadar if you don't want to wait it out.

From our ongoing research, it seems that most of the people who were lucky enough to preorder a camera back in February 2024 have now received a camera. There may be a few exceptions where this isn't the case, however, which proves just how popular this camera is right now.

The Fujifilm X100VI retails for $1,599 / £1,599 at all retailers right now, which we don't expect will change for a long, long time due to this camera's popularity. If you're interested in a full run-down of the camera, check out our not long ago .

It's almost one year since I originally - most retailers still don't have reliable delivery estimates for incoming stock. Furthermore, you're still looking at a lengthy delivery time if you're looking to pick up a camera in the US as none of the major retailers have immediate stock. The sole exception to this is perhaps Best Buy (more on this just below).

There was a slight glimmer of hope just a few weeks ago when the camera suddenly appeared in stock at both Wex Photo Video and Jessops - two major photography retailers in the UK. Unfortunately, from what I can see that initial stock drop has all dried up now. It is likely, however, that wait times are pretty short at those retailers if they're managing to release stock for purchase on-site.

Head on over to Best Buy if you're in the US.

Open a live chat with a sales representative.

Ask a sales rep to search for local stock.

Alternatively, ask the rep to sign you up for notifications.

If you're stuck in the US, there is one trick you can try, however. This is one thing that I've been keeping an eye on over at the official Fujifilm sub-Reddit and it seems that an increasing number of people are having luck with this method.

The steps here involve using Best Buy's 'Shop with an Expert' feature to directly contact a sales representative. While you'll have to jump through a few hoops here, a sales rep can help you track down stock at the various Best Buy branches and potentially set you up with an invoice.

Note that you may have to keep trying this method over several days to secure a camera but it's worth trying in my opinion. Unless you're dead-set on a particular color, I'd also recommend inquiring about both Silver and Black as several Redditors have reported that widening your search can help you get your hands on an X100VI.

The Fujifilm X100VI has been surfacing on eBay as well as other auction sites in the recent past for well over the launch price - up to $5,000 if you can believe. Take note, several well-known (and usually reputable) camera trading sites also have stock for marked-up prices, which is kind of a bummer to be honest. While not quite as bad as the prices on eBay, I'd definitely recommend holding off buying from one of these sites - even if you're desperate.

For example, if you happen to have $5,000 lying around to spend on a camera then there are amazing options from other brands, including some of the best compact cameras money can buy (hint: Leica Q3). We're also huge fans of Fujifilm's other cameras here at TechRadar - several of which offer specs that are just as good as the Fujifilm X100VI if you don't mind opting for something less compact.

This is a tried-and- that we've used previously to snag stock on in-demand tech like the PlayStation 5 and graphics cards in recent years. Often, local retailers have smaller wait lists for recent releases and sometimes, just sometimes, you'll even find in-stock items hiding in the backrooms. Conversely, these retailers also tend to receive less stock when products are shipped so it's often a fine line to tread when actually placing an order. It doesn't hurt to call around, however, also applies to larger stores that have local brands like Best Buy.

Amazon and to a lesser extent, Best Buy, tend to release stock for in-demand products on a semi-regular basis. Unlike most photo specialist stores - which are still operating on a first-come-first-serve preorder basis - these stock drops are for items that are fully in stock and ready to ship immediately. The issue is that there's usually no prior warning for these stock drops and they also tend to be available in extremely limited numbers. It's well worth adding an item to your wishlist and checking in regularly at Amazon if you're willing to wait it out, however.

Great alternative cameras 1. Fujifilm X-T5.

The X100VI is undoubtedly the camera of the moment (and for good reason) but there are fantastic alternative cameras to consider if you don't want to wait. I not long ago wrote a piece on seven excellent alternatives to the Fujifilm X100VI that's well worth reading if you want a detailed run-down of a few other options, but I'll also summarize here.

If you want a high-performance alternative to the X100VI, you could opt for the Fujifilm X-T5. This flagship interchangeable lens body elements many of the same bones as the X100VI under the hood - like the [website] APS-C sensor, image stabilization, and the latest subject-tracking autofocus. The downside? It's a little pricey at $1,699 / £1,449 - and you'll obviously have to buy your desired lens separately. It also doesn't have the fancy hybrid optical viewfinder that's unique to the X100 series, so you'll arguably not get that same old-school feel. Image-wise, however, the cameras are identical, and we're big fans of the X-T5 at TechRadar (see our Fujifilm X-T5 review.

For a cheaper Fuji alternative, you could consider either the Fujifilm X-E4 or Fujifilm X-T30 II - both of which are smaller-styled interchangeable lens bodies. They're last-gen models now, and subsequently only feature 26MP sensors, but they can be found for under $1,000 if you shop around on the used market and they both feature most of the brand's film simulation presets. Unfortunately, due to popularity, Fuji cameras are really, really over-priced on the second-hand market right now.

Outside of Fuji, there are compelling options in the form of the Ricoh GR III and Leica Q3. The Ricoh in particular offers fantastic tac-sharp images in a superbly pocket-friendly and affordable package. The Leica Q3 in comparison runs at an eye-watering premium but does offer the epitome of outright image quality thanks to its lavish 60MP full-frame sensor and Summilux 28mm f/[website] lens. Another fantastic full-frame option to consider is the retro-styled Nikon Zf - a recent addition to the brand's line-up and one that's been extremely well-received. If you're interested, check out our Ricoh GR III review, our Leica Q3 review, and Nikon Zf review.

Sorry, you're not getting Microsoft Edge off of your PC, at least according to its new 'uninstall' document

Microsoft Edge's uninstall document promotes the browser over Google Chrome, without any actual removal instructions.

It attributes a checklist on supposed advantages over Google Chrome.

There's no official way to uninstall Microsoft Edge, as the control panel only allows for a 'repair'

It's no surprise that Microsoft is making more attempts to shift PC clients away from other browsers in favor of its own Edge option yet again - but its latest scheme could be a new low point.

As spotted by Windows Latest, a new 'uninstall document' was released by Microsoft, supposedly explaining how to remove Microsoft Edge from your PC, but surprisingly, it doesn't. Instead, it compares Edge to Google Chrome with a checklist (pictured below) of capabilities that it indicates are available on Edge but not Chrome (which isn't completely true) - essentially, it's doing the opposite of what most people would expect a document about uninstalling an app to do..

It’s a shame that this comes after Microsoft’s well-received privacy updates for Chrome incognito mode, which is a huge positive for its clients. However, it’s now hit a low with this 'uninstall' document that clients won't like at all. Microsoft already aggressively pushes Edge via pop-ups and ads in Windows 11, which many clients consider to be invasive and annoying. Meanwhile, Chrome remains the most popular browser despite Microsoft’s boasts of Edge’s high user numbers in 2024, so it’s not a surprise that many may want to uninstall Edge.

It shouldn't come as a big surprise, since Microsoft has used numerous tactics to win people over to its browser - but this feels particularly disingenuous.

Reminds me of membership cancellation pages...

Trying to get rid of something, only instead to be bombarded with reasons for not getting rid of it, will feel awfully familiar to many people who have tried to cancel a subscription. Try to cancel your PlayStation Plus subscription, for example, and Sony will try to tempt you to stay with an offer on a 12-month premium subscription.

So, Microsoft is far from the only organization that is trying to change the minds of its clients wanting to ditch a product. However, there’s no denying that this move seems particularly strange - you'd expect a document which is supposed to give you instructions to uninstall a program to do just that, rather than the opposite by trying to get you to keep using it. It also feels a bit cheeky using the word ‘uninstall’ if there’s literally no way to officially uninstall Edge.

Personally, I think that essentially forcing individuals to keep a program installed on their PCs will instead push them further away from using it. Saying one thing but doing another could come back to bite Microsoft...

Why I’m switching to an eco-friendly laptop

in the recent past, I’ve started to consider my own impact on the environment. As someone who occasionally reviews laptops, there are times when I’ve accumulated a collection of them in my home office. Whenever I gaze upon this backlog, I’m reminded of my own contribution to the omnipresent problem of electronic waste, which is why my next laptop will be an eco-friendly one.

Laptops, as you may or may not know, are not great for the environment! They often contain rare earth materials like lithium. Not only does lithium take a lot of resources to mine, but its extraction can also upset natural ecosystems. Plus, when it’s time to dump an old laptop, all or parts of it will end up sitting in landfill and contaminating nearby ground waters.

The impact laptops have on the environment is bigger than you may think.

Further reading: Best laptops 2025: Premium, budget, gaming, 2-in-1s, and more.

Before I dive into the reasons why I’m switching to an eco-friendly laptop, I should first establish what that means. A sustainable laptop is designed to minimize the impact it has on the environment. This is done by using recycled materials and/or a repairable/upgradeable design.

Framework laptops, for example, have a modular design that makes it easy to swap out old parts for new ones, thus extending the life of the laptops. Acer Vero laptops, on the other hand, consist of recycled materials like oyster shells and post-consumer recycled plastics.

Choosing a refurbished laptop over a new one can help offset the environmental impact, as well. It takes a lot of materials to make a brand-new laptop, so by picking a refurbished one you’re circumventing that process. If you’re going the refurbished route, then I’d recommend buying from an official manufacturer. Getting a warranty with your purchase is always a good idea, too.

I love the idea of a laptop you can upgrade over time, which is one of the main reasons why I’m making the switch. Most laptops aren’t upgradeable, which means you’re stuck with the internal components until they age out. In this case, the only way to get a laptop with the latest hardware is to buy a new one, which eats up carbon emissions and generates more electronic waste (otherwise known as e-waste).

A laptop with a modular design, for example, allows you to easily remove the module components and then slot in new ones. Framework is a organization that makes this process so easy it’s ridiculous. If you crack open a Framework laptop, you’ll see that each part is marked with a bar code, which you can then scan with your smartphone. The link that pops up will direct you to the exact part on Framework’s website.

You can also get a laptop with a removable chassis. As long as you have access to the internal components, you’ll likely be able to upgrade things like the RAM and storage.

I love the way the Acer Vero line of laptops look.

Acer’s Vero laptops are sustainable, which is great, but I’ve always liked the look of them. Just because they’re made of recycled materials doesn’t mean they have to be unsightly. The 2023 Acer Aspire Vero, for example, aspects a bluish-green colorway with flecks of lighter green embedded throughout the exterior. It’s nothing like I’ve ever seen and it’s more exciting than a boring gray slab.

I’m currently eyeballing the 2025 model of the Vero for myself. Not only is it partially made of biomaterial from oyster shells, a first for a sustainable laptop, but it also functions the same speckled look that I’m such a fan of. If I’m going to invest in an eco-friendly laptop, I might as well like how it looks, yeah?

Nothing sets me off quite like piles of cardboard and bits of packing material flying around the house. Whenever I unbox a new laptop that I’m going to review, I’m always stunned by the amount of packaging I have to go through. I’m not someone who can easily operate in a mess–I don’t like it when a bunch of cardboard just sits around and takes up space. Fortunately, some eco-friendly laptops, like the Acer Aspire Vero 16, come with fully recyclable packaging. So, what does that mean exactly?

Well, it’s packaging that can be recycled multiple times and made into different things. In fact, many major laptop manufacturers are sending laptops out with recyclable packaging nowadays. ’s sustainability brochure, the corporation promises that “100 percent of [their] packaging and more than 50 percent of [their] product content will be made from recycled or renewable materials” by 2030.

Laptop companies are also doing a lot of other cool things to lower their carbon footprint. Dell makes it incredibly easy to recycle your laptop, which helps cut down e-waste. Lenovo even offers a “reduced carbon transport” to their service centers. You can read more about that in their sustainability brochure.

The fact is that laptop manufacturers are doing their due diligence to cut down on e-waste and those efforts should definitely be applauded.

A laptop with a metal unibody is nice, but I don’t need it.

I don’t mind a plastic build, I really don’t. I’m very careful when handling my electronic devices whether it’s a laptop, a smartphone, or a handheld gaming device. I’m careful not to place them in precarious positions where they’re in danger of falling, and I don’t travel with my laptops. My lifestyle is relatively low-key and I’m a more cautious person than most, so I don’t need a laptop with a metal chassis.

Many sustainable laptops are made of recycled plastics, which might bug some people. I personally don’t mind the look and feel of a plastic build. All I care about is that the hinge that connects the screen to the keyboard feels firm. A metal chassis is more durable, sure. It’s a stronger material, after all. But mining metal (especially aluminum) is definitely more harmful for the environment, as it generates more carbon emissions. I also don’t mind the slight flex of a plastic build, as long as it’s sturdy and holds the components inside like it’s supposed to!
