At the FR-facebook John said that the deals are a sign of an imminent announcement of the X-E2/X-PRO2. But this is not true. You won’t see them this year. So switch to the X, enjoy shooting with the X-series now and save up to $1,150… and with the saved money you can, one day, buy the replacements.
So here is how you can save $1,150: buy the X-E1/X-PRO1 with the 18-55 kit lens and then add the 4 primes and you’ll pay $2,645. If you’d purchase all this gear separately you’d normally pay $3,795.
XF 18mm: save $300 – XF 27mm: save $150 – XF 35mm: save $150 – XF 60mm: save $250 – XF 18-55mm: save $200 (but you save $300 if you buy the X-E1 with kit lens and then eventually add to the cart the primes you need)

Did the XM1 not start close to the top of the rankings, and now a month later its near the XP1 … hmmm not so good? I’ve noticed at a few German online shops that they have stopped selling the XP1 for some time now, not all, just some.
Still selling lots the E1, that seems to be a hit everywhere. Makes me wonder if Fuji updates to an E2 and makes the XP2 into something more interesting requiring a new lens mount 😉
I don’t think they are rushing to put a FF out, not before Sony anyhow. Either way, it won’t replace the top tier crop camera, X-P1 is doint well.
On Another note, just ordered my x-e1 with kit and 35mm… dis gun be good 🙂
XP1 is postion 84 on Amazon.de … E1 at 19, M1 variants around 30-40.
Samsung is King in DE, mostly cause its lotsa pixels for not many Euros, the ALDI factor 😉
Are those announcements limited to the United States of America? Are there any other countries on the planet, and what about them? Is Fuji Rumors an international/worldwide site or a US-centric one solely?
You can’t find these deals elsewhere, so sadly I can’t share awesome deals outside USA… I’d love to see Fujifilm launching the same deals also in Europe. If you find some good offers, share them at dealsrunner.com and they will appear at the FR-dealsrunner sidebar.
All is smoke for me. I can’t understand why take so much time to Fuji to release the 23 1.4 and the equivalent 85 mm (53mm?) 1.2. I don’t waste money in the EX or the 18 or others lenses. I am a professional and really need the 23 and short tele with very good quality and luminosity. I hate that about Fuji.
Agree…also waiting for the 23mm and 56mm, the glass those of us pros need now! I have been shooting professionally for over 30 years, my fav has been the 35mm and 85mm. It will nicely round out the X-system, along with the 14 and 55-200, for the lack of anything longer at the moment, both of which isn’t included in the current deal.
Does anyone know if these are online only deals?
I never see these deals in Canada: trying to decide if I should wait till I’m in the US next month to go to B&H in person and save on shipping, or just order online now.
They are not online only
If I’m reading here, I already have the Fuji gear my money could buy. Why should I care about those offers? (by the way, there are many good reasons to get into Fuji X, most of all lens quality. If money is what matters, there are better deals around)
Second reason being cost-benefit factors of the X system. For an apc-s mirrorless, Fuji is by far the cheapest for the its given values. Have a look at Sony’s pricey slow lens line… quite unbecoming really.
Fuji is being very selective with who they offer this cheapness and value to. It seems, for instance, that if you paid the introductory price for the X Pro1 (as I did) which is much higher than the current price then you can go and get stuffed!
If however, you took your time and did not put up with a 2400 euro camera that did not auto-focus for 6 months while “Fuji got around to it eventually”, then you are rewarded with a cheaper camera AND cheaper lenses.
So Fuji is chasing after people who can’t really afford their system while those of us who can either:
a/ Can’t get the lens we need.
b/ Feel that the price of lenses we don’t need but would still consider are far too expensive compared to what “switchers” pay.
Everyone can deal with that how they like, I personally gave up and spent lots more money on manual focus glass. Fuji has a funny way of building brand loyalty IMO.
What you describe is pretty much true of every early bird purchase.
Not some conspiracy of neglect.
And yet they have brand loyalty.
I think Fuji does far more for me in regards to customer loyalty than Canon ever did. I purchased an X100s, and really loved it. I decided to switch to Fuji after the last rebate, and bought an XE-1. I had zero expectation that they would continue to upgrade the camera via firmware. I fully expected them to hold that kind of stuff for the XE-1 and X-Pro1 successors. People want more colors for peaking, and it seems like we will get it. In my opinion, Canon fixed bugs. Fuji improves their products. And with regard to lenses, I too am looking forward to the 23 and 56. The other lenses I have are awesome, and I’m sure the new ones will be too. I don’t know if it had anything to do with it, but switching the 56 from 1.4 to 1.2 is awesome, and worth a delay. I want them to expand the lens lineup, but I’m patient, since I’m confident the products will be worth it. Regarding the pitfalls of being an early adopter, I bought my 5D3 shortly after release. It didn’t take long at all for it to be less than that. And I certainly don’t blame Canon for it. It’s just how it goes. I hope Fuji is successful bringing more photographers in. The more successful they are, the more interesting lenses and cameras I get to purchase.
Tim and others refuse to recognize that the only products that retain value are full frame bodies and high-end lenses, and Leica. Everything else depreciates no matter who the manufacturer is.
