Pre-order new Fuji X-A5 with 15-45 XC PZ OIS for $600
Mirrorless cameras just scored a second goal in 2018, giving them a 2-0 {corrected; I need a numeric keypad to type numbers apparently} lead over DSLRs in 2018. It is the new Fuji X-A5 mirrorless camera bundled with the all new 15-45mm f3.5-5.6 PZ OIS silver lens with a pre-order price of $600. This 24mp non-X-Trans APS-C camera will be available in three camera-body color-schemes [silver, brown, pink]. It looks like all of them come with the silver 15-45mm lens.
The camera comes with a variety of modern amenities and features, touchscreen, 4K, filters, etc.
It is available for pre-ordering for $600 at Amazon by Amazon itself (February 8 release estimate) and Adorama and B&H Photo (February 8 release estimate as well)…
Your pre-orders and purchases using our affiliate links help fund this blog which has very minimal advertising! If you want to help us keep going, then please consider making your purchases and pre-orders through our links here and in the sidebar and the Shop and Support page…
The included lens is brand new from Fuji, and it is also available for pre-ordering separately for $300. For photographers who may want the lens only, it is may still be a better value to get the X-A5 kit and then sell/trade/gift the camera if you don’t want/need it or fall in love with it. Or wait until other people do this and buy the lens in the used market or the trade/exchange section of your favorite photo forums…
This too has been added to the New Cameras of 2018 tracking page.

…but it is also available for pre-ordering on its own for $300 at Adorama and B&H Photo available in your choice of black or silver… From the looks of it, the X-A5 kits are getting the silver color of this lens…
