Well said.I have no relationship with Fujifilm, beyond owning a couple of their cameras. But perhaps you can stick with the issue under consideration rather than attacking the messenger
I do, however, have experience with the camera industry, particularly with the Japanese camera industry. Drumming up business through scarcity is not a thing. Other point that seems to be missing from your analysis is the elasticity of the product in economic terms. Over producing cameras in the hopes of having more stock will generate more sales is a really bad idea--it is pretty much a small market with little or no growth, if not contracting. I am sure Fuji took their best guess at demand for what is a luxury good. And there is a lot of risk and expense in camera production.
And that brings us to cash flow. Overproducing a product can hinder cash flow. If you pour so much of your capital into producing too many products that don't sell, that will be a big problem. Your economic analysis seems based on every product being a hit and companies should just have huge product runs. Those are rare in the consumer camera market. Betting on outliers is financially irresponsible. And while the Fuji camera division is small, running at a loss will not insure its future nor the livelihood of its employees.
I am sorry you are frustrated in not being able to get your camera when you wanted it. Personally, I would be happy about the success of Fuji products because that is going to be reinvested in order to grow their offerings and keep the system developing.
I completely agree with Sashin, MF market cameras are not something where they would create scarcity to create demand. The simple fact is that they didn't think as many people would order the camera as they did. After announcement I read somewhere that they stated the demand was enormous and expect a 2 month delay between ordering a camera and receiving it.
As stated earlier I ordered June 20th immediately after the x1dii announcement. and received it now so almost a 2 month gap.
