International Fuji X-T2 body only for $900

The new condition Fuji X-T2 body only with a USA warranty currently goes $1100 at authorized Fuji USA dealers, some of which throw in some photo-freebies, such as Adorama…

But if you want to pay less and are not fond of manufacturer warranties or plan to use it in places where it wouldn’t be helpful, then the shopping site Massdrop is offering the new condition but International Version of the X-T2 for $900. There is no warranty included with this. So that’s a $200 trade-off right there… Optionally you can add the 18-55/2.8-4 R OIS lens for +$300 more in the Massdrop shopping cart…

EU: Used Sony RX10 Mark IV for 1448 euro

Price aside, the Sony RX10 Mark IV mayhaps is the closest to a “do it all Paul” type of a camera with a 1″ sensor, a solid superzoom range with OIS, fast autofocus, 4K video, etc, etc, etc. But the price is quite high for this model. If you are tempted but you are fond of buying used, as of the time of writing, the German Amazon Warehouse Deals has it in USED condition for 1448 euro. Note however that this is repackaged and the battery is missing [uses typical Sony batteries] and has small scratches…

EU deals: YI M1 two lens kit (12-40, 42.5/1.8) for 380 euro

The YI M1 micro four thirds two lens kit with the 12-40mm zoom and the 42.5mm f1.8 prime lens can be yours for 380 euro from Amazon Germany in your choice of black color scheme or the silver color scheme for 380 euro after a 20 euro OFF click-on coupon at the product page.
