Hello list , here is a comment from fuji uk re. the demise of the 680 that was topical a few days ago,Amazing how these rumors start, hence my first post to see if it were true, which related tot he following from fuji Canada
came via colin r.
"In relation to your email to Colin Riccardo, please be advised that
Fujifilm Professional would like to quell any rumours about the impending
demise of it's GX680 and GX617 cameras-there are no plans to discontinue
production at this time.
However, production of the 645, 670 and 690 camera systems is being scaled
down. But as Fujifilm UK is planning to buy all surplus cameras there will
be enough stock to satisfy demand in the medium term."
(senders e.mail omitted)
Thank you for your e-mail.� Yes, you have heard true.� Fuji Canada will be
discontinuing medium format cameras, however, be assured that we are fully
committed to the ongoing supply of lenses, accessories, and parts, as well

We will continue to carry selected accessory items in inventory in Canada.
