The recent weeks I noticed that the RX100VI is no more in Stock:

• Amazon is NOT taking preorders anymore
• BHphoto reports the camera will ship in 4-6 weeks
• Adorama reports it’s “on Backorder”
• FotoErhardt says it’s “on preorder”

Our reader Diego shared an interesting story:

I recently had to service my RX100M7 I bought at Best Buy in the US and I was told I needed to get a replacement through the extended warranty I had purchased.

Unfortunately the replacement was actually just getting store credit at Best Buy for the original purchase amount. I tried to get the same camera again but now it’s out of stock when I’m pretty sure it was available one or two weeks earlier. Checking Amazon, B&H and the Sony website I’m realizing that it is also unavailable there.

Does this mean it has been discontinued or replaced by something else? I just thought it was interesting reading your reports of a possible new camera that could compete with the Fuji X100VI .

A couple of weeks ago I reported that the Sony RX1rII has been discontinued…and now it seems the RX100VII is going to encounter the same destiny. I will soon share some info about possible new series of compact cameras ;)
