Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
The Fuji X-T1 body with a free 35mm f2 WR lens offer for $800 has not returned for Black Friday, but Fuji has discounts on both X-T1 body options! The X-T1 body only goes for $649 with free accessories at B&H Photo, while the X-T1 Graphite body goes for $749 at B&H Photo (with 4% promotional rewards) and Amazon itself.
Adorama does not have them on sale, while Amazon is out of the X-T1 kits.
If I could stop time, I would organize all the Fuji Instax deals in a single post, but the deals keep on flowing, no time to stop! You can find all the latest Instax related offers under the Fuji category.
Which brings us to another Instanx sale, the new condition Fujifilm Instax Mini 26 + Rainbow Film Bundle is on sale for $50 with free shipping by Amazon itself. The white color scheme is in-stock, the other two are “temporarily out of stock”. Limit up to three per color.
After this post, I am digging into the Lightning Deals which I haven’t checked in six hours!
The new condition Fujifilm instax mini 9 Instant Film is on sale for $50 with free shipping and with ten free exposures until Black Friday at 4:30pm ET at B&H Photo. That’s when B&H stops taking orders for their usual Friday PM to Saturday PM Sabbath closing. So if you are planning B&H Black Friday purchases, don’t wait until late in the day!
The same price is available at Amazon by Amazon itself but no free exposures.
PS: if you are having a deja vu, the instant camera we mentioned earlier today was the $90 Mini 90 Neo Classic 🙂
The new condition Fujifilm INSTAX Mini 90 Neo Classic Instant Camera is now on sale for $100 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo which includes a free 10-exposure film. That’s the main listing. When you look at the other sub-tabs, there are more film combos for just a few dollars more.
This also goes for $100 with free S&H at Amazon by Amazon itself (limit up to three per camera color) but there’s no free film there.
Fuji X-T1 time again! The free 35mm promotion has NOT returned, but B&H Photo has a new set of discounts on the camera in new condition:
+ X-T1 body only for $649
+ X-T1 body only with Extras for $649
+ Extras: 16GB Sandisk SD, Watson extra battery, Ruggard holster, microfiber cloth
+ X-T1 Graphite Silver body only for $749 with $30~ promotional rewards
+ X-T1 with 18-55 and VG-XT1 Vertical Battery Grip for $1099
And now it is time for our weekly medium format post 🙂 The new condition Fuji GFX-50S medium format body only goes for $6500 but if you want a “take pictures with” kit, thanks to Fuji’s current round of instant savings, you can get it with the GF 63mm f2.8 together for $7000 at Amazon by Amazon itself.
Amazon appears to have “solved” their combined purchase discount problem of the old days where you had to manually add things to cart and such. Now they are pre-creating listings with the eligible items. Screenshot example below:
The Fujifilm Instax Mini 26 with the Rainbow Film Bundle is on sale for $55 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit up of to three per customer. This is available in the White and White/Blue color schemes. It averages 4.5 out of 5 based on 420+ customer reviews and has 50+ answered questions.
Another big discount this week. Last week the Fuji X-A10 with 16-50mm was going for $500 [see Mirrorless Price Charts]. This week it is down to $350 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself (limit 3) and B&H Photo (with free 32GB Extreme SD and Bag) and at Adorama.
This is certainly a nice price for a “take pictures with” kit as an entry-level entry-point in the Fuji X system. But the Fuji X system has been around for a while now, so you have more options in the used market if you prefer a more advanced camera. The Fuji X-T1 is in this ballpark used, but its new condition price dropped too this week, it is back down to $800 at B&H Photo. However a few weeks ago, Fuji had a promotion on the X-T1 at this price, with a free 35mm f2 lens. I do not know if they are planning to bring back this promotion for the holiday shopping season.
Meanwhile the Fuji X-A3 with 16-50mm remains at $550 (eg Adorama), just as it was last week. So reading the price change tea leaves, Fuji is encouraging shoppers towards the X-A10 at this time.
As of a 11/16/17 AM recheck, this sold out at the $399 price. Supplies of used cameras are limited so they run out differently than new condition prices. Also prices are more volatile since they depend on more factors…
If you are comfortable with heavily used and scratched cameras that are still functional though, Adorama has the used Fuji X-T1 body only in “Used – Good” condition for $399 plus shipping (around $10) with a 90-day Adorama warranty and a 30-day return policy. If you don’t see it in the listings, it means it sold out since this was posted. Used supplies are typically limited.
The above may be of interest if you are looking for a non-entry-level entry into the Fuji X-system. On the other hand, if you prefer a “take pictures with” kit, the Fuji X-A10 with 16-50mm goes for $350 at various sellers including Amazon by Amazon itself (limit 3) and B&H Photo (with free 32GB Extreme SD and Bag) and at Adorama.
As of a 11/16/17 AM recheck, this is sold out and is no longer available for purchase (discontinued type of a listing)…
Pastel colors time! The new condition Fujifilm instax mini 8 Instant Film Camera is on sale for $49 with free shipping at B&H Photo in three of the five colors (blue, grape, raspberry)…

The price checking continues for RAWsumer cameras. The new condition Fuji X70 goes for $700 at authorized dealers, but if you are comfortable with used, you can get it in “Used – Excellent condition” for $499 plus shipping and with a 90-day Adorama warranty at Adorama along with a 30-day return policy.
The RAWsumer price-checking continues. The Fuji X100F big sensor prime remains at $1300, but if you are comfortable with used, the following options are available:
+ the black color is available at B&H Photo for $1050 in “USED – Condition 9”
+ the silver color is available at Amazon Warehouse Deals (by Amazon, not 3rd-party sellers) for $1080 in “Used – Very Good” condition
Price-checking has began again as I’m working on the Mirrorless segment of the Price Charts series.
Fuji has many X-cameras now. If your research and price points are pointing towards a used Fuji X-T10, there are a lot of options under $400 at the moment for the body only. Adorama and Green Mountain Camera are fighting for the $369 price point at Amazon Warehouse Deals in “Used – Like New” condition.
Meanwhile KEH Camera, which offers a 180-day warranty [factor that into the price since warranties cost money to offer] offers it for $379 plus shipping in “Used EX+” (Excellent Plus) condition. Or for $20 more for an “LN-” condition (LN = Like New).
Used prices of the X-T20 are almost twice as much at the moment.
The new condition Fuji X-E3 with 18-55mm kit goes for $1299 at authorized dealers but if you want to save some, authorized dealer OneCall is offering in open-box condition for $1149 with free shipping and they come with the full manufacturer warranty.
The Fuji X-PRO 2 body only recently (not sure when) dropped from $1700 to $1500 at authorized dealers, and at the moment Adorama is bundling four freebies with it, the Corel software bundle, a 32GB Fuji SDHC card, a 24/7 Traffic Collection holster, and a cleaning kit. This too surfaced while doing the price-checking for the upcoming Price Charts series for this week.
One change for this edition, I am dropping the Leica cameras from the 35mm full frame chart to simplify things and make it more readable. There’s nine of them ranging from $4000 to $8000. More noise than signal 🙂 They are staying in the Mirrorless and the other Price Charts. They are getting dropped only from the 35mm Full Frame chart because they are overwhelming it 🙂
Ironically perhaps, instant cameras are not afraid of smartphones replacing them. Which brings us to another sale. The new condition Fujifilm Instax Mini 26 with a Rainbow Film included (10 exposures) is on sale for $55 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself. There are four colors of this camera available. Limit up to three units per color per customer.
The different colors can be handy if you are giving them to kids (of all ages) that want a quick way to be able to tell their camera apart from the rest. It averages 4.5 out of 5 based on 420+ customer reviews.
The new condition Fuji GFX-50S medium format mirrorless camera holds steady at $6500, but the number of used listings have increased, and with the today’s update of the Stock Tracker, we have these used priced:
+ Amazon (USED) for $5347 by 3rd-party seller
+ Adorama for $5500 with multiple listings
+ B&H Photo for $5525
+ KEH Camera for $5900 with one listing with EVF included
The update of the Fuji X100F segment of the Stock Status Tracker shows a steady stock at the original price of $1300 in new condition at authorized dealers, while in USED condition, the lowest price by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself is $1125 in the silver color scheme, while the lowest price by 3rd-party sellers fulfilled by Amazon is $1100 in the black color scheme.
For a lot more used options from a variety of sellers [be sure to thoroughly research them if you are not familiar with them] check the eBay Search Results.
All systems go for the Fuji X-E3! All six official camera kits of the camera are in-stock at their normal prices at B&H Photo. These are:
+ X-E3 body only for $900
+ X-E3 with 23mm f2 for $1150
+ X-E3 with 18-55 for $1300
+ these are available in either black or silver
Meanwhile at Amazon some of the kits are in-stock at normal prices by Amazon itself, some by 3rd-party sellers, and some by no one… Adorama remains in pre-order status…
This as we have began updating the Stock Status Tracker…
Instant cameras continue to be popular against all odds in their own niche, so the discounts are not as big as something that’s not as popular. As of the time of writing, the green and blue color schemes of the Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 Instant Camera are down to $57, and the Smokey White going for $58~. These are sold and shipped by Amazon itself with a limit of up to three colors per customer.
As part of the new Fuji Instant Savings, the Fuji X-T20 camera is down by $100, with the Body Only going for $799, the X-T2 with 16-50 going for $899, and the X-T2 with 18-55mm going for $1100.
Adorama has a super bundle but it remains at $1199 and includes the Fuji X-T20 with 16-50 and 50-230 and Fuji hand grip and Lowepro 140 and 16GB Sandisk Extreme and ProOptic filter kit, Corel software bundle, Lowepro lens case, and a few more lens-a-ccessories.
Despite the new Fuji Instant Savings, the Fuji X100F holds steady at $1300 in new condition at authorized dealers. If you are comfortable with USED condition though, the price has dropped to $1137~ in both colors, by Amazon Warehouse deals itself. Other 3rd-party sellers there have it for less but if you are not familiar with them, it’s a higher risk!
As of the time of writing, both the Used X100F black and the Used X100F silver go for $1137.
As usual, do pay attention to who the actual seller is. The price alone should not be the sole determining factor!
Sundays are the starts of new “shopping weeks” and promotions at retailers and also by manufacturers through their MAP-controlled “Instant Savings” promotions. This Sunday we have two new instant savings promotions going live, nicely organized by B&H Photo as follows:
+ Canon Instant Savings featuring five DSLRs and 13 lenses
+ Fuji Instant Savings featuring a handful of cameras and lenses, in the X System and the GF* system too
+ also available nicely organized at Adorama
+ in progress, I don’t think mentioned them before, there are some Panasonic Instant Savings, nicely organized at Adorama
If you had been waiting for the silver Fuji X-E3 with 23mm f2 R to get in-stock, you are in luck! The silver kit at its starting price of $1150 is in-stock and ready to ship at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of up to three units per customer.
It is also in-stock from Cameta thru Amazon. It ships directly from Cameta, but if you are a Prime member, you get Prime-like shipping delivery (it’s a lesser known Prime benefit).
If you prefer the black color scheme, it remains in-stock and shipping for $1150 at Amazon by Amazon itself.
For more, check the Stock Status Tracker.
New arrival! The black color scheme of the new Fuji X-E3 with the 23mm f2 R Fuji lens is now in-stock and ready to ship for its starting price of $1150 at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of up to three units per customer. Only the black color scheme is in-stock.
Also in-stock from Amazon itself is the X-E3 Body Only (Black) for $900 and the Silver-Black too.
The Fuji X100, in new condition at authorized dealers, holds steady at $1300 as you can see at the just-updated Stock Status Tracker. Some mild discounting can be had if you are comfortable with these options:
+ Amazon Warehouse Deals USED condition prices start at $1180 for the black color scheme
+ Imported Grey Market X100 Black for $1246~ with free shipping by 6ave with a 1-year seller warranty [not Fuji USA warranty]
Some of the Fuji X-E3 kits (body only, and with 18-55) and color combinations are already in-stock at Amazon by various 3rd-party sellers, but if you prefer to buy camera gear from Amazon itself, we have good news for you, the silver color scheme of the Fuji X-E3 with 18-55mm is now in-stock and shipping for its starting price of $1300 at Amazon by Amazon itself. Limit three per customer.
For more cameras and such, check the Stock Status Tracker.
A number of Fuji X-E3 kits are now in-stock at their normal prices. As usual, situations can be kerfuflly on release day and supplies are often limited, so YMMV…
+ Fuji X-E3 body only (silver) for $900 by Kenmore Camera (eBay) (one unit left) and PhotoCraft thru Amazon (two left)
+ Fuji X-E3 body only (black) for $900 by Kenmore Camera (eBay) (one unit left)
+ Fuji X-E3 with 18-55mm (silver) for $1300 by PhotoCraft thru Amazon (four left)
+ Fuji X-E3 with 18-55mm (black) for $1300 by Kenmore Camera (eBay) (two units left)
+ the camera is also included in the Stock Status tracker
The Fuji X-E3 is estimated by Amazon to come out September 28, but you know how it is with estimates. So I have just added the X-E3 body only to the Stock Status Tracker. I will also keep an eye on the other two official kits, but the compromise made in order to add it to the Tracker without adding more overhead was to focus on the X-E3 body only.
