Trying to get a hold of a Fujifilm X100VI? You're not alone. This much-hyped compact fixed-lens camera is easily one of the most successful camera launches we've seen for a long time, with demand massively outstripping supply.

It's been almost one full year since release, and unsurprisingly - most retailers still have this camera on backorder.

There are a few glimmers of hope, however. After a few months of suspended orders in the US, a few retailers have now re-listed the camera for backorder. If you're willing to wait a month or two, then the good news is that you can still buy the camera at the launch price.

Even better news if you're in the UK. It's looking like the back-log of orders is finally starting to clear at the major camera retailers in this territory and a few even have the camera in stock to buy with immediate delivery.

The Fujifilm X100VI retails for $1,599 / £1,599 at all retailers right now, which we don't expect will change for a long, long time due to this camera's popularity. If you're interested in a full run-down of the camera, check out our recently published Fujifilm X100VI review for our detailed thoughts.

Fujifilm announced that X100VI orders were being temporarily paused in the US a few months ago due to the ongoing tariffs situation. It seems as of writing, however, backorders have partially returned at a few retailers. Adorama, for example, is currently listing August as the next likely date for delivery and you can place an order for the next batch right now. Interestingly, B&H Photo is listing the X100VI as discontinued right now, so it appears that the tariffs situation still hasn't completely resolved.

Just a quick PSA to those who haven't been following the latest camera news. Fujifilm has just released a new body called the X-E5, which is extremely similar to the X100VI but is instead an interchangeable lens model. It's arguably a different beast to the X100VI ,but it's worth considering since it's readily available at most retailers for a (slightly) cheaper price.

The Fujifilm X100VI has been surfacing on eBay as well as other auction sites recently for well over the launch price - up to $5,000 if you can believe. Take note, several well-known (and usually reputable) camera trading sites also have stock for marked-up prices, which is kind of a bummer to be honest. While not quite as bad as the prices on eBay, I'd definitely recommend holding off buying from one of these sites - even if you're desperate.

For example, if you happen to have $5,000 lying around to spend on a camera then there are amazing options from other brands, including some of the best compact cameras money can buy (hint: Leica Q3). We're also huge fans of Fujifilm's other cameras here at TechRadar - several of which offer specs that are just as good as the Fujifilm X100VI if you don't mind opting for something less compact.

1. Call around at local retailers

This is a tried-and-true tip that we've used previously to snag stock on in-demand tech like the PlayStation 5 and graphics cards in recent years. Often, local retailers have smaller wait lists for recent releases and sometimes, just sometimes, you'll even find in-stock items hiding in the backrooms. Conversely, these retailers also tend to receive less stock when products are shipped so it's often a fine line to tread when actually placing an order. It doesn't hurt to call around, however, and this tip also applies to larger stores that have local brands like Best Buy.

2. Keep an eye on Amazon

Amazon and to a lesser extent, Best Buy, tend to release stock for in-demand products on a semi-regular basis. Unlike most photo specialist stores - which are still operating on a first-come-first-serve preorder basis - these stock drops are for items that are fully in stock and ready to ship immediately. The issue is that there's usually no prior warning for these stock drops and they also tend to be available in extremely limited numbers. It's well worth adding an item to your wishlist and checking in regularly at Amazon if you're willing to wait it out, however.

3. Check out other cameras

The X100VI is undoubtedly the camera of the moment (and for good reason) but there are fantastic alternative cameras to consider if you don't want to wait. I recently wrote a piece on seven excellent alternatives to the Fujifilm X100VI that's well worth reading if you want a detailed run-down of a few other options, but I'll also summarize here.

If you want a high-performance alternative to the X100VI, you could opt for the Fujifilm X-T5. This flagship interchangeable lens body features many of the same bones as the X100VI under the hood - like the 40.2MP APS-C sensor, image stabilization, and the latest subject-tracking autofocus. The downside? It's a little pricey at $1,699 / £1,449 - and you'll obviously have to buy your desired lens separately. It also doesn't have the fancy hybrid optical viewfinder that's unique to the X100 series, so you'll arguably not get that same old-school feel. Image-wise, however, the cameras are identical, and we're big fans of the X-T5 at TechRadar (see our Fujifilm X-T5 review for more details).

For a cheaper Fuji alternative, you could consider either the Fujifilm X-E4 or Fujifilm X-T30 II - both of which are smaller-styled interchangeable lens bodies. They're last-gen models now, and subsequently only feature 26MP sensors, but they can be found for under $1,000 if you shop around on the used market and they both feature most of the brand's film simulation presets. Unfortunately, due to popularity, Fuji cameras are really, really over-priced on the second-hand market right now.

Outside of Fuji, there are compelling options in the form of the Ricoh GR III and Leica Q3. The Ricoh in particular offers fantastic tac-sharp images in a superbly pocket-friendly and affordable package. The Leica Q3 in comparison runs at an eye-watering premium but does offer the epitome of outright image quality thanks to its lavish 60MP full-frame sensor and Summilux 28mm f/1.7 lens. Another fantastic full-frame option to consider is the retro-styled Nikon Zf - a recent addition to the brand's line-up and one that's been extremely well-received. If you're interested, check out our Ricoh GR III review, our Leica Q3 review, and Nikon Zf review for more details.

• Windows 11 has a new optional update
• It fixes a bunch of bugs that have been annoying gamers
• One of the most annoying glitches causes the monitor screen to go black for up to a few seconds when playing games, and it's now resolved

Windows 11's latest patch makes some important improvements for PC gamers, including the resolution of a seriously frustrating black screen glitch, and some useful changes are provided elsewhere, too.

This is the optional update for June (known as KB5060829) and, as Windows Latest reports, it introduces the mentioned fixes for gamers, as well as speeding up the performance of a common task under Windows 11 - namely, unzipping files.

Let's look at those gaming-related solutions first, though, and the highlight here is that Microsoft has cured a problem where "unnecessary display resets" were happening to some folks.

This bug manifests as the screen going black for up to a few seconds when gaming, and also in everyday use. As one Redditor puts it: "So this might fix that issue where my screen just randomly blinks black for a split second while browsing certain websites and playing games?"

That's very much the hope, and plenty of other Windows 11 gamers chime in to say they're suffering at the hands of this bug. There are a couple of reports from users claiming the fix has indeed worked, so that's a hopeful early sign. (Also remember that these fixes are gradually being rolled out, so not everyone will get the cure immediately.)

Microsoft also lets us know that there's a further fix for a problem whereby when graphics settings are changed in a game (or some apps), any off-putting screen flashing that occurs should be reduced.

Another resolution applied in the 'graphics' category for this optional update is the fix for some displays going "unexpectedly green," which I'm guessing is a reference to green screen crashes, rather than a visual corruption, though it could be the latter, and Microsoft doesn't clarify this. Either way, that'd be an annoying problem to face, and it should be vanquished now.

As already mentioned, also noteworthy here is better performance when unzipping files that are compressed in the 7z (7-Zip) or RAR formats that are natively supported in File Explorer with Windows 11. The speed boost is most noticeable in cases where large numbers of files are compressed, and they should be extracted more swiftly- Windows Latest observes that this happens up to 15% faster.

Other nifty moves with this preview update include the taskbar automatically resizing icons to fit in more apps when it gets crowded, and interestingly, we're also getting our first glimpse of the new PC-to-PC migration experience. The latter is provided in the Windows Backup app, and it's been in testing previously, offering an easy way to switch over to a new PC.

This is just the initial rollout, mind you, and the PC-to-PC migration feature won't be fully enabled yet. To begin with, we're just getting the landing page as a "first look at what's coming," and Microsoft notes that: "Support for this feature during PC setup will arrive in a future update."

However, near term, this will be more of a key feature for Windows 10 PCs, and Microsoft will want to push it through for those devices with the operating system's end-of-support deadline looming large. (Microsoft is very keen on getting those folks to upgrade to a new Windows 11 PC, which has caused quite some controversy in recent times).

Finally, another useful touch for gamers with this patch is a fix for some apps freezing up when Alt-Tabbing out of the game running in full-screen. A note of caution here: Windows Latest explains that a couple of folks testing this patch have experienced other weirdness when Alt-Tabbing out of games - like the mouse cursor lagging - but at this point, these are just scattered reports. I wouldn't read much into them yet.

Of course, this is a preview update, and as such, bugs - like the potential fresh problems with Alt-Tabbing - can be expected. Microsoft is still testing this patch ahead of its release next month, and that's why it's optional.

Because of this, I usually advise Windows 11 users to ignore these patches, especially as there isn't long to wait before the full update is deployed, and any last-minute bugs will (hopefully) be ironed out. In fact, this time around, the wait is particularly short, and the full update for Windows 11 in July arrives in just over a week.

Still, if any given issue is really driving you bananas, you may want to take your chances with the optional update right now (and hope you get lucky in terms of the rollout timeframe). And judging from the feedback on Reddit, a lot of people are really suffering at the hands of the bug causing the screen to go black for a second or three. If this happens at a crucial juncture of a game, it can be seriously frustrating, of course.

Indeed, plenty of Redditors are saying that this bug has been causing them to wonder what on earth is going wrong with their PC, and to suspect a fault with the GPU driver (which, given Nvidia's current woes along those lines, is an obvious conclusion to reach). At least we now know the problem is with Windows 11, and fingers crossed that this patch (and by extension the July release) fully resolves these temporary black screen dropouts.

• Citrix disclosed patching a critical-severity bug in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway instances
• Independent researchers dub it "CitrixBleed 2" due to its similiarities to the 2023 flaw
• Users are advised to patch up ASAP

Hackers are actively exploiting a critical-severity vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway instances to hijack user sessions and gain access to targeted environments, the company has revealed.

The bug is described as an insufficient input validation vulnerability that leads to memory overread when the NetScaler is configured as a Gateway (VPN virtual server, ICA Proxy, CVPN, RDP Proxy) OR AAA virtual server. It is tracked as CVE-2025-5777, and was given a severity score of 9.3/10 - critical.

The flaw affects Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway device versions 14.1 and before 47.46, and from 13.1 and before 59.19.

According to security researchers ReliaQuest, the vulnerability is already being abused in the wild to grant attackers initial access.

“Unlike session cookies, which are often tied to short-lived browser sessions, session tokens are typically used in broader authentication frameworks, such as API calls or persistent application sessions,” the researchers explained.

As well as publicly disclosing the vulnerability, Citrix is also offering a fix, and urging users to apply it as soon as possible.

At the same time, independent analyst Kevin Beaumont says the bug bears a resemblance to CitrixBleed, one of the most serious Citrix vulnerabilities discovered in recent years.

It was also a critical-severity flaw that was widely exploited in late 2023, when different threat actors targeted government agencies, banks, healthcare providers. Among the abusers was LockBit, one of the most dangerous ransomware operators in existence.

Due to the similarities, Beaumont dubbed the flaw “CitrixBleed 2”.

At roughly the same time, Citrix disclosed addressing two additional flaws: a high-severity access control issue, and a memory overflow vulnerability.

The former has a severity score of 8.7, and impacts versions from 14.1 and before 43.56 and from 13.1 and before 58.32. The latter, with a 9.2 severity score, is tracked as CVE-2025-6543, and leads to unintended control flow and Denial of Service in NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway when configured as a Gateway.
