By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 1, 2018

The Fujifilm X-H1 is now shipping from all major retailers despite observance of  Purim. It seems Adorama and B&H Photo have made arrangements to meet their commitments. All retailers should have enough stock to fulfill preorders, but there will likely be shortages in the coming days/weeks, B&H Photo is showing availability on March 5th.

B&H Photo also decided to match Adorama’s offer of including a Domke F-803 bag with orders, but it’s only showing on the battery grip kit at this time.
