Compact cameras have gained immense fame in the past six months. From Fujifilm's X100VI going out of stock soon to the launch of Canon PowerShot V1, the compact cameras trend is here to stay.

Fujifilm has a problem, albeit a good one, in that it is struggling to make enough cameras to meet demand. The excess demand has resulted in a significant issue: scalpers, people who buy a popular product to resell it at a markup.
