B&H Photo has the Fuji X100 in-stock right now. The availability on this camera has been a tough cookie over the last several weeks. It only lasted a few hours the last time I saw this camera in stock – expect the same this time.
So, if you want one here is the link to the product page at B&H.
The Fuji X100 has been scarce since its announcement, with many in the US wondering just when they’ll get their chance to put hands on one. If you’ve been waiting, it looks like Amazon has some in stock now.
Only 17 more left in stock at the time of this post. Better hurry.
Update: It took 25 minutes to blow through the 17 available (at 3AM). However, Amazon says it has more in stock, but it just takes 1-2 days extra to process the orders (guess they’re in the back of the warehouse, eh?).
Update #2: Wow. Those are gone too. The X100 may be some hot stuff this year…
B&H Photo has the new Fuji X100 listed available for pre-order, which is the typical signal that they’ll have them in stock and shipping out the door soon.
You can find the X100 here on B&H Photo’s site.

The Fuji FinePix X100 is a point and shoot camera with a 12MP DSLR-sized sensor. The Fuji X100 features a 23mm f/2 lens, which is equivalent to a 35mm field of view on a full frame camera.
Additionally, the X100 captures 720p video and includes a hot shoe for external flashes when the built-in flash doesn’t cut it. A hybrid viewfinder allows you to switch between optical and electronic viewing options.
The new X100 should be available in early 2011.
