Pre-order new Fujifilm GF 45mm f2.8 R WR [Medium Format]
The Fuji GFX mirrorless medium format system has a new member today, a brand new lens, the new Fuji Fujinon GF 45mm f2.8 R WR, available for pre-ordering for $1699 at Adorama and B&H Photo.
Medium Format systems are more specialty, so you’re not gonna get a burst of new lenses like you may get with DSLR and mirrorless 35mm and smaller-sensor systems.
There is only one camera so far in the system, the GFX-50S, which goes for $6500 in new condition or you can get it used starting at $5300 at Amazon Warehouse Deals. You can find this at the bottom of the Stock Status Tracker.
Pre-order new Fuji X-E3 Mirrorless iLC starting at $899
Mirrorless cameras just scored a goal, increasing their lead to 10-8! Fuji put in a new middlefielder that scored this goal [okay, time to abandon soccer/football analogies]…
Fuji has a new 24mp APS-C mirrorless camera in their X-System, it is part of the X-E series, it is the brand new X-E3, available in silver or black [but still not Raiders edition].
It will be available in three official kits as follows:
- BODY ONLY for $899
- with 23mm f2 for $1150
- with 18-55 for $1300
Pre-orders at the above prices are now accepted at B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon itself where the release estimate is September 28 (2017).
Keep in mind though, estimates are only estimates until or unless the cameras start shipping.
This reinforces the three Fuji X-System lines of X-T, X-E, and X-A.
It also juxtapositions this new camera with the existing Fuji X-T1 with FREE 35mm f2 promotion, at the moment giving the X-T1 an advantage in terms of both a lower price and a free lens included with it. [check the Stock Status Tracker for all the X-T1 options].

Used Fuji X100F for $1125 (silver) or $1137 (black)
We finally completed the update of the Stock Status Tracker, which got interrupted by the refill of the refurbished Olympus store and by …lunch 🙂
NEW CONDITION
The last of the notable changes since our previous update is the Fuji X100F big sensor prime. Both B&H and Adorama are currently out of stock (but you can still order them), but other authorized and recognizable sellers have them in-stock for their standard price of $1300 as follows:
+ silver new condition: Amazon and Others and OneCall and Best Buy (eBay) and BuyDig (eBay)
+ black new condition: Amazon and Others and Kenmore (eBay)
USED CONDITION
+ silver for $1125~ at Amazon Warehouse Deals by Amazon itself
+ black for $1137~ at Amazon Warehouse Deals by Amazon itself
Imported Fuji X-T2 body only w/seller warranty for $1450
And now we continue refreshing the Stock Status Tracker with some Fuji X-T2 body only action!
If you are comfortable with imported cameras with a warranty provided by the seller (not Fuji USA), you can get the new condition Fuji X-T2 in imported grey-market condition for $1450 by Deals All Year on eBay (99.8%, New Jersey).
On the other hand, if you prefer used cameras, you can get it in “Used – Excellent” condition for $1349 plus shipping (starts at $14, varies by zipcode) from Adorama which offers a 90-day warranty of their own and a 30-day return policy.
Meanwhile Cardinal Photo is offering it in “Used – Like New” condition for $1399 through Amazon Warehouse Deals. Not Prime eligible. The description says this is the X-T2 with 18-55 kit, with the 18-55 removed (and presumably sold separately).
Some sellers do this, by selling them separately, they can get a better price than selling the kit as is. This is because of the built-in discount of the official “with lens” kits. As long as sellers are upfront about it and are clear in the descriptions, giving people more options and more alternatives is good.
Refurbished Olympus E-M5 with 12-50mm EZ for $450
On the other hand, if you prefer a “take pictures with” kit, you can get the Olympus E-M5 (first generation) with the 12-50mm EZ lens in manufacturer refurbished condition for $450 with free shipping at the Get Olympus USA store with a 90-day Olympus USA warranty.
Contract that to getting the body only used starting at around $300 with a 180-day warranty through KEH ~ check our Used options post for more details.
This too surfaced while price-checking the Get Olympus Refurbished Refill (I think that’s a new official term now).
PS: I can’t post all 20+ new additions to the Get Olympus refurbished store, but if any others stand out in your opinion and would be of interest to other photographers, please let me know in the comments here or using the online contact form.
Used Olympus E-M5 Body w/180-day warranty for $289 + S&H
While price-checking the Get Olympus Refurbished Refill (I think that’s a new official term now), this alternative offer to the Get Olympus store surfaced…
… you can get the Olympus E-M5 body only in “Used – Excellent” condition starting at $289 plus shipping (under $10 for most zipcodes) at KEH Camera with a 180-day non-transferable warranty…
… you can get the Olympus E-M5 body only in “Used – Excellent Plus” condition for $329 plus shipping (starts at around $8 and varies by zipcode) at Adorama USED. Used products at Adorama come with a 90-day warranty covered by Adorama, and a 30-day return policy.
So when comparing used prices to other places, eg Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD), keep in mind that most sellers at AWD offer zero warranty!

Nikon D850 Body gets a September 7 release estimate
Keep in mind, release estimates of new camera gear can sometimes be finicky and can obviously change as time goes by. So with that disclaimer out of the way…
… we have began a full update of the Stock Status Tracker and as of this update…
… the Amazon listing for the Nikon D850 body only shows a September 7 in 2017 release estimate for the camera.
To make sure I’m not hallucinating, here’s a screenshot 🙂
According to Amazon’s Best Seller charts, this is the #1 seller among New Release digital cameras. Keep in mind, the Amazon best seller lists are only as good as the product categories different products are put in. If someone fat-fingers a coffee machine under cameras, it will show in the best sellers 🙂
