First Fuji X-H1 deal arrives: FREE Domke F-803 Camera Bag

We have the first Fuji X-H1 deal already, shortly after I posted the Fuji X-H1 pre-order round-up. The first deal is this: if you pre-order it at Adorama, either as the body only for $1900 or with the battery grip for $2200, you will automatically receive a FREE Domke Fuji cobranded F-803 camera bag. You will get this for free as long as this is mentioned in the individual product page over there! Here’s a screenshot to make sure I did not hallucinate 🙂

If the promotion rings a bell, that’s because this promotion is already in progress for other Fujis (X-T2, X-PRO2, select lenses).

Pre-order new Fuji X-H1 Camera and Battery Grip and Lens Bundles

We begin the Pre-Order-a-palooza that was promised with some of the new cameras and lenses that were officially announced this week, starting with the new flagship of the Fuji X-system, the new X-H1, with an in-body image-stabilization to boot! This is the fifth new mirrorless camera revealed in 2018 [see New Cameras of 2018 tracker], giving Mirrorless cameras a commanding 5-0 lead over Team DSLR.

FUJI X-H1 BODY ONLY
The Fuji X-H1 body only is available for pre-ordering for $1900 at Adorama and B&H Photo and Amazon by Amazon itself with a March 1st release estimate. Do note however that estimates are only estimates and they change over time!

BATTERY GRIP for FUJI X-H1
A flagship camera is not a flagship without a dedicated battery grip, and the X-H1 is getting the Fujifilm VPB-XH1 Vertical Power Booster Grip for $329, available for pre-ordering by Amazon itself and Adorama and B&H Photo.

There is also a pre-order option for the X-H1 bundled with the battery grip with a $30 combo discount, $2199 instead of $2229 🙂

FUJI X-H1 bundled with PRO LENSES
What if you also want a pro lens to go with the new X-H1? Fuji has created bundles with three of their existing X system pro lenses [not the new T2.9 cinema lenses] as follows:

+ X-H1 with 16-55mm for $2949
+ X-H1 with 50-140mm for $3349
+ X-H1 with 100-400mm for $3649
+ the above kits are also available with the official battery grip for +$300

You can find all these options at the organized product announcement pages at B&H Photo and Adorama and the search results at Amazon.

Preorder new Fuji X-H1 flagship camera

Fans of in-body camera image stabilization are now cheering another convert to the cause as the brand new Fuji X-H1 flagship camera has an in-body image stabilization that promises up to 5.5 stops if the stars and the lenses align (multiple puns intended).

Despite the H in the name, this remains an APS-C camera, not an APS-H camera.

The new Fuji X-H1 has a starting price of $1899 and it is available for pre-ordering at Adorama and B&H Photo and Amazon by Amazon itself.

Fuji is also offering combined purchase discounts if one orders the camera with one of three Fuji pro lenses (their two f2.8 zooms or the 100-400). Details on the individual product pages above.

But that’s not all! Coming along with it are two Fuji Cinema T zoom manual lenses. Fuji is after all no stranger to cinema lenses. You can see all the new items available for pre-ordering at the new announcement pages at Adorama and B&H Photo. Amazon doesn’t have advanced technology like that, but you can see most of them in their search results

My Homework for Later Today
+ add the Fuji X-H1 to the Stock Status Tracker (the X100F will be retired from it at the same time)

+ update the New Cameras/Lenses tracker with all the new products of this week and post pre-order alerts for them

+ buy after-Valentines clearance chocolates 😉

Fuji X-E2S with 18-55 f2.8-4 OIS for $680

The Fuji 18-55 f2.8-4 R LM OIS lens goes for $800 on its own in new condition (eg B&H Photo).

But you can get the lens for less, and get a camera body with it too! The good old Fuji X-E2S with the 18-55mm lens is now on sale for $680 with free shipping at Adorama in your choice of black color scheme or silver color scheme.

Or if you are an Amazon fan, you can get it for $680 by Amazon itself in either the black color scheme or the silver color scheme. They are “temporarily out of stock” but orderable.

The Fuji X-E2S body only goes for $420 on its own at the above places.

If you are a Prime member and pay with a Prime credit card, you’ll get 5% as a statement credit, that’s around $34…

Fujifilm Instax Mini 26 instant camera with Rainbow Film bundle for $55 w/free S&H

It’s instant camera action again! Amazon itself is bundling the Fujifilm Instax Mini 26 instant camera (available in four different color schemes) with a Rainbow Film bundle (ten exposure sheets) for $55 with free shipping with up to three bundles per color per customer. This is not a lightning deal so expiration time is unknown.

PS: I’m only using the name “Fujifilm” for Fuji film products. Digital products are Fuji, not Fujifilm since they don’t have film 😉

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.

Fuji X-E2S with Fuji 14mm f2.8 and Metal Hand Grip and Manfrotto case for $849

The Fuji X-system has been around long enough for many generations of released cameras so that gives you more price flexibility if you are willing to buy previous generations models. One such is the Fuji X-E2S body only going for $429 on its own at B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon itself

But what if you want to dive into the Fuji X system with an “old school take pictures with kit”? = a camera with a prime lens instead of a zoom lens; yes, I’m still making up terms as I go 🙂

IF that’s the case, comes to the rescue by offering the Fuji X-E2S with 14mm f2.8 XR and Hand Grip (the Fuji MHG-XE metal hand grip) along with the Manfrotto NX shoulder case, all together for $849 with free expedited shipping.

This is a great price if you happen to want/need both. The 14mm f2.8 lens goes for $800 on its own, eg Adorama and B&H Photo and Amazon itself.

The new condition Fuji X100F big sensor prime continues to go for $1300 in new condition at authorized Fuji USA dealers. Even the freebies that are included, when they are included, are very basic. That strong is the new condition price.

+ USED “Very Good” condition by MPEX via Amazon for $986
+ MPEX is Midwest Photo Exchange, ships directly from Ohio, not Prime eligible

Fuji X-E3 kits get Free Accessories Bundles

I am updating the Stock Status Tracker, with the addition of the Sony a7r III, but both the a7r III and Nikon D850 remain not in-stock…

But I’m also going through the other cameras and removing all the ones that have been steadily in-stock or had steady prices throughout. The Fuji X-E3 is one that fits this pattern, but it goes out with a parting shot. The prices remain the same but it getting free accessories with purchase, especially at Adorama where you get the Corel software bundle, a Lowepro Format 140 bag, a 16GB Sandisk Extreme SDHC card, a card reader, a card wallet, and the obligatory cleaning kit.
