Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
If you are tempted by the Fuji X-S* series, good until 11/27/23 at 11:59pm ET (or earlier if sold out), B&H Photo is offering a Fuji X-S10 body-only bundle with a Ruggard bag and a 128GB Sandisk Extreme PRO UHS-I SDXC card for $899. That’s the same price elsewhere but without the two freebies.
For +$400 you can get it with the 18-55mm lens and the same two freebies.
Can’t wait for Black Friday to arrive? Fear NOT! Amazon has you covered as they have launched their Early Black Friday sale featuring all kinds of products, with their house brand products being in the driver seat – since Amazon is the maker they can discount them as much as they want without having to worry about the manufacturer restrictionisms!
+ Fujifilm Instax Square SQ6 (Instant Film Camera) for $90 in five color options
+ Android tablets from Google, Samsung, Lenovo, etc
+ Kindle Scribe flagship ereader starting at $240
+ INTEL processors, mostly i7 and i9 options
+ two pages of ASUS computeralia including lots of laptops, desktops, and a couple of AiOs
+ Vitamix blenders – yes, you can make your fashionably late viral videos now 😉
+ the above is just a sampling, they have much and more!
And now to another Gold box darling, the instant cameras, headlined by the four color options of the Fujifilm Instax Square SQ6 going for $90 for Prime members as part of the Amazon Prime Dayz.
Also part of the sale is the Fujifilm Instax Mini Instant Film Value Pack (120 photos) offered for $67, just over 55c per photo,
On the other hand, if you are part of the Polaroid GO ecosystem, they offer the Polaroid Go Instant Mini Camera for $65~ in the black color scheme. Check “film” compatibility if you are not familiar with the various systems.
AND now a couple of tech items, unrelated to instant films, but I don’t want to create extra posts:
+ Joby USB-C to USB-A 3.0 adapter for $3.20
+ various Google Pixel offers
+ Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) for $189 in either Lightning or USB-C
And now something for fans of instant cameras!
As part of the B&H Photo not-Prime sale, which is of course open to all, not just Prime members (LOL), they have price-matched on a per-print basis one of the Prime Dayz offers.
B&H offers this 60-exposure FUJIFILM INSTAX MINI Value Pack for $34.
Which is exactly half the price of the Prime Dayz 120-pack of Fujifilm for $68.
Speaking of instant, the recurring Kodak Instant Cameras & Printers sale is back for Prime Dayz with 22 options. Yes, they can divide up and play a full soccer game 🙂
If you think printing is fun-da-mental, the Tuesday 5/2/23 Adorama daily deal is the new condition Fujifilm Instax Link Wide Smartphone Printer, in the Mocha Gray color scheme, offered for $90…
I don’t know when it first got discounted but this is the first time I’ve noticed it (keep in mind I’m operating at a snail’s pace here), the new condition Fuji X-T4 body only is currently going for $1549 at various reputable authorized Fuji dealers such as B&H Photo and Adorama and by various thru Amazon…
PS: as usual, when shopping at Amazon, be sure to pay attention who the actual seller(s) of a product are. I don’t repeat this every time because I’m assuming that most people shopping for camera gear know this by now. But you know what they say about assumptions!
Fuji is having a bit of a similar strategy to Pentax, an APS-C system and a medium format system and this is reflected in their Black Friday offerings at B&H as it is a mix of the X-System and their medium format mirrorless system. No Fuji X100V in the BF offers as there are supply issues. Hard to sell something you don’t have, it pains me to say.
As part of the early BF festivities, Amazon is offering the new condition Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 Instant Camera for $60, or a Holiday Bundle in select color schemes (of the camera body that is)…
Speaking of Fuji, Amazon is also offering this Fujifilm Instax Mini Link Printer Bundle 2022 for $84~
Speaking of instant-alia, Amazon is also running a trio of Polaroid instant offers with camera bundle options at $83 (“Go”) and $99 (“Now”)
If you are into Instax printers, for a limited time, B&H Photo is offering the new condition Fuji Instax Link Wide smartphone printer for $120 in two color options… Alternately they have a bundle with instant film exposures for $140~.
For economy of blog-posts during the Black Friday season, I’m appending here a couple of unrelated deals 🙂
+ 25% off at the RXBAR website with coupon CYBER until 11/29/22
+ 1-Year of Consumer Reports for $16
+ print edition, 13 issues
+ no auto-renewal, US addresses only
Say what you will about Fuji’s APS-C cameras, but they look very …photographic! If you can’t resist that siren’s call, and you have $1700+ to spare, the new Fuji X-T5 is now available for pre-ordering with a November 17 estimated release date!
The body only goes for $1700, while the kit with the XF 16-80mm f4 R OIS WR goes for $2200, and the kit with the XF 18-55mm f2.8-4 R LM OIS WR goes for $2100. Zoom more for $100 more 🙂
For those who have not been paying particularly close attention, we are at the 40-megapixel X-Trans BSI sensor now, with Pixel Shift Multi-Shot getting you 160 megapixels. Focus points are growing too, now at 425 phase detection points 🙂 IBIS, yes, Idris Elba’s second cousin, now promises up to seven stops.
Burst mode goes up to 15/20fps, with the mechanical shutter promising half a million actuations. Battery promises up to 680 frames. Video is up to 6.2K. And on and on and on.
Pre-orders are available right now at B&H Photo and at Adorama…
You owe it to yourself to live the Fuji shooting experience, but of course you don’t have to pay $1700+ for this camera – there are plenty of older models (KEH link) circulating in the market!
Curious about this camera? Here’s a 10-minute YouTube-embedded initial review by Dpreview Television:

+ shipping estimate is early July 2022
+ here’s a 4-minute overview by B&H:
A very memorable memorial day for Fuji fans (it’s a self-writing pun!), as Fuji has officially announced their brand new X-H2s flagship camera with a 26mp stacked BSI X-Trans APS-C sensor, up to 7-stops of in-body stabilization, 6.2K/30P 3:2 aspect ratio, AI auto-focus, both SDXC UHS-II and CFexpress Type B, 15fps mechanical shutter (40fps electronic), both OLED EVF and vari-angle 3″ touchscreen (plus monochrome sky-facing LCD for settings), USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, full size HDMI, PC sync, uses the NP-W235 battery, etc, etc, etc…
The camera is available for pre-ordering for $2500 as a body only. It also has three “with lens” kits that bundle it with Fuji’s two T2.9 video-priority pro zooms. The third kit is with both T2.9 zooms. The prices are (of course) high (if you have to ask…).
Pre-orders are accepted at B&H Photo and at Adorama and such…Shipping estimate is early July 2022…
Here’s a 12-minute video overview of the camera by Jake Estes of House B&H:
Along with it are three H2S-dedicated accessories, a $199 camera cooling fan, and $399 VG-HX battery grip, estimated to ship along with the camera in early July 2022. There’s also a $999 file transmitter grip estimated to come out in mid-September (along with the new XF lenses)…
BUT that’s not all! Wooden Camera is also releasing a handful of H2S dedicated accessories (camera cages, etc). But they are also sneaking in a couple of general use adapters, PL lenses to either X-system bodies or GFX bodies…
PS: since the X-H2S uses the existing NP-W235 li-ion battery, if you want to save, for $30 you can get the B&H Photo Watson Li-Ion…
Also good for Sunday in the pacific time zone, Amazon is having a Fuji Instax Mini 11 sale. The camera itself goes for $60 while the bundle with various extras goes for $70…
The Fuji X-E4 ($850 body only) is the latest model, but if you prefer to pay less for the Fuji X-E3, it is one of the Amazon Black Friday offers, buried in the Content Creators sale, which was buried in our Amazon Black Friday round-up 😉
So, the Fuji X-E3 is on sale for $560 as body only, for $760 with the 23mm f2 R WR lens, and $800 with the 18-55 f2.8-4 XF lens… You can find all the options interlinked at the same root listing page…
