Interestingly, apparently, judging by the fact that this appears to be sold on Amazon, in contradiction with what it was speculated when it was announced, this camera, unlike its predecessor Fujifilm IS Pro, wouldn’t be sold only to professional or governmental agencies?

 

Can you confirm that this is the case?

 

 

 

 

 

 

from wikipedia

 

“......The IS Pro was originally intended for specialist markets like Forensic photography, medical, museum and fine art. FujiFilm generally restricts the sale of these cameras to professional users in these and similar fields; their EULA ( End User License Agreement) specifically prohibits "unethical photographic conduct". Very few have ever gone on open public sale, although some were made available via dealers at closeout prices in fall 2010...."

 

apparently that was what the EULA deviced by Fuji looked like

 

​Customers of the previous camera needed to sign this, I don’t know how strict it was and how long they held themselves to this agreement afterwards but it all looks pretty official. The reason is that at least in the U.S. export of camera capable of infrared imaging is officially restricted.
