Pacsafe Camsafe V2 Anti-theft Camera Holster for $25 w/FS
If you like red, pink and magenta camera gear and electronics, Adorama has launched an early Valentine’s Day Sale with various red iLC and fixed lens cameras, drones, instant cameras, and other photo accessories and consumer electronics.
But hiding among the Red is the unassuming Pacsafe Camsafe V2 Anti-theft Camera Holster in the black color scheme for $25 with free shipping. It has two 1-star reviews, one complains that it is too small [dimensions are provided under “Specs” on the product page], the other complains that it looks like a pistol holster which may complicate things while traveling or in crowded/social situations.
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.
Pre-order new Fuji XC 15-45/3.5-5.6 OIS PZ for $300
Everybody’s going PZ and OIS these days it seems! Fuji has a new kit lens, it is both powered (PZ) and optically stabilized (OIS). It is the new Fuji XC 15-45mm f3.5-5.6 OIS PZ. It is the lens bundled with the brand new Fuji X-A5 APS-C mirrorless camera…
…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…
This has been added to the New Lenses of 2018 tracking page.
+ CORRECTION: the year is 2018, not 2918! There’s no numeric keypad on this laptop 🙂
