UDPATE: Amazon removed both the lens and camera preorder page!
The Fuji X PRO 1 was available for preorder here at Amazon (page now blank). The price of the body only is $1,699.95.
The price of the lens was also visible since yesterday but the preorder pages have now preordered:
The 35mm f/1.4 lens at Amazon was available for $499.
The 18mm f/2.0 lens at Amazon was available for $499.
The 60mm macro lens at Amazon. was available for $599.
UPDATE: There was alao a page on Adorama (so I have been told but I didn’t find it).
If those are indeed the real prices let me know what your intentions are:

If I have to be honest, that price is quite steep.
made of gold??
Makes sense compared to the nex7, but it’s now too steep for me. Oly better not price their pro body at $1700.
My guess is that its a test from amazon how far they can go by checking the amount of preorders. Its not even a kit, so lets wait and see. Oh and btw., if its really the next big thing for professionals, than I can completely live with this.
Your links never seems to work. It always leads to a dead Amazon page. Is it for only European readers because it sure as hell doesn’t work in the U.S.
jcc, amazon took the page down. it has nothing to do with US vs European readers. Quit whining and get a clue, dope.
Scamazon?
Just sayin’….
$1700 for the body only ???? Now I understand why they put the lenses for pre-order first !!! 🙂
So its more 2300 and 1300 (as told before) for the kit … too heavy for me, i guess stay with the NEX-7 (Sony has 20% student-discount!).
Yep.
“404 not found”.
I’m guessing Fuji preorder lovin’ blew up Amazon’s servers…ha!
There goes down the nice surprise of $500 lenses. Body price more than makes up for it….
1700 even with a lens would be steep. 🙁
Maybe it was just Amazon testing out the waters…
If I remember well, it was the price of an Hexar RF (the leica compatible body Fuji made 15 years ago), if it is as well built as this body it doesn’t surprise me…
Sure it’s a price test from Amazone. I bet the body even won’t have the price of the Nex-7.
I used to buy Fujinon large format lenses for my Sinar few years ago : excellent lenses.
I won’t feel confuse to to use an all-electronic menu, using traditionnal setting (aperture ring on the lens, etc…) then it’s great, simply great. Feels solid. Without to know anything preciselly about this camera, I like it very much. I’m so frustrated not to be able to use M-Mount lenses on the Nex-7, to wait for a possibly expectable Nex-6 (Nex-7 body with Nex-5N sensor), this camera seems perfect for what I need. Great job Fuji !
“I’m so frustrated not to be able to use M-Mount lenses on the Nex-7”
Why ? It’s really easy to use M-mount lenses on Nex with adapters and it works very well (easy to focus with “peaking”) !! Corner shift color issues with wide angles lenses can be fixed…
Or maybe you’re just saying that because the Nex-7 is still not in stock ?… So Ok…
I think he is saying that some of the best m mount lenses can not be used on the Nex-7 because it doesn’t have the micro lens built in. Anything wider than 35mm lens performs really poorly on the nex-7 but is really good on the nex-5 even without looking at the picture at 100% zoom.
Simply too expensive. I have a Fuji X100 and a Nikon D700 with a bunch of Nikon lenses. This price is getting to close to the D700 once you add on a few of their $500 lenses.
I highly doubt that this will be ‘the next big thing’ for professionals. It looks like a great camera and a fun toy for personal shooting, but it is just not a replacement for high-end dslr cameras.
After seeing the price tag I feel better about just buying the Panasonic GX1 & LVF2. I already had the oly 45mm 1.8 and 20mm 1.7 pancake. While i’d love to own this camera, I can’t justify the investment at this time.
Hmm, my excitement has been deflated a little. I won’t buy this camera right away now. $1700 is just too steep. I was hoping for more in the $1200 range, and even that was a bit of a reach for me… It will still sell really well, though. Oh well.
mind games from a amazon thanks alot
this game was played with consumers with the x 100 before the 1199 usd price was cemented before that it was bandied at maybe being 800- 1000
fuji… i want a body plus 35 1.4 lens at 1600 dollars or less , then im
hooked ,i buy gear….. alot and millions like myself who dont tolerate stupid prices do as well , fuji you have a great chance in the marketplace , dont screw it up for short term greed
Yeah, that’s steep. I’m also disappointed that the 35mm 1.4 looks to extend while focusing. An annoyance of mine. But for $500, who’s to complain?
$1,399 is the best I can do for the cam + the 35/1.4. Sorry.:(
$1299+$499 per lens yes, $1699 for body, a firm NO.
$1700 is very pricey, although if it works a charm with M lenses too and and has a good EVF and manual focus system i’ll be still be keen.
Certainly going to be an interesting year – will sit on my 5N and Leica glass in the interim and see what unfolds over the next few months.
if it delivers on all counts, IQ, performance, menus, support, firmware, battery life, ergonomics AND for me video, it might be worth it.
Yep, this is too much. Fuji will sell plenty of nex7 @ that price.
NEX-7 $1,300 + Zeiss 24mm $1,000 = $2,300
X-Pro $1,700 + 1 Fuji Lens $600 = $ 2,300
(and I’m sure that’s what Fuji were thinking when this price was set.)
Add another couple of E-mount Zeiss prime lenses to the NEX 7 (whenever they are available) and a 3 lens system for the X-Pro may actually cost less.
Both Sony and Fuji make good sensors. Buy the one that is going to suit you best.
I won’t buy it for $1700 for body only. The NEX-7 body only is only $1200, so, $1700 is too expensive just base on the limited information. Unless the new sensor really shines over the traditional sensor, otherwise, I don’t see why it worth $1700. But who knows, the Leica is way more expensive, and I personally don’t see anything particularly good about it, except it has the Leica brand.
$1700 for a body for a whole new system can be tough to swallow. If the quality is on par with the 5dmkII then maybe.
I was in at $1,299 for the body and $499 per lens. Unfortunately, $1,699 for the body alone is too much.
Yet to see IQ. Is this poor man’s leica, or is it rich man’s PEN?
Hey folks, Why not wait til the dust has settled? The $ is never written in stone before it is actually released… name one product (other than Leica) that was/is?
Likely the initial $ will be based on suggested retail and will drop with supply and market presure. Good things come to those who wait, at least until it actually is on the market lol.
A bloomin cheap Leica! And it looks the goods… and by this time next year I will be able to afford it – after I sell my children to medical science.
Let’s see, full frame quality in a small package with this build quality, brand recognition, and decently priced lenses? $1699 will work for me. Time to sell my X100.
Damn. Too expensive.
It sounds about right that price to me, i’d like to pay less but judging from the pics it seems like a Leica in nearly every respect, except it will no doubt have mane more modern functions, if someone asked you to buy a Leica M8, totally new, just released, for $1700 and the lens’s for $500 – $600 each how many people would jump at the chance.
How many people buy crop DSLR’s worth $1700, a lot of people, my guess is this will out perform them.
I’d rather this thing be better in quality and $1700, than 80% good and $1200.
Even though I am an admitted Olympus fanboy, I have been seriously tempted by this camera. I think the lenses are priced very reasonably but I think the body will end up being too expensive, especially considering that it is the ‘software’ part of the equation and will just be replaced by an improved model next year.
I dont mind paying more for lenses, because I am going to keep those… but give me a better deal on the body please.
Well let’s wait. It has an external AF sensor, so it needs to prove it’s capability.
Also with this you need to bring a bag a lenses regardless.
It’s not my cup o’ tea for the moment.
IQ will be interesting to see at that price point. It better blow away the Nex and x100.
as predicted, pricey as usual……playing the expensive and exclusive game..
Damn. Way too pricey. Not just for me, but, I think, for the market. I want Fuji to succeed as wildly as possible, because the stunning success of another company is the only thing that will knock Canon and Nikon out of their conservative funk and actually push the market forward.
Ah well, I’m not surprised that Fuji thinks that they have the cachet to pull off this price. I suspect that they are wrong, but we won’t know that until it hits and the first month’s sales are all done.
I think that Fuji should have targeted the NEX-7 and 5n as more direct competitors, which they are obviously not doing. Their funky sensor is certainly cool, but that coolness gets a bit warmer when compared to 24, honkin’ megapixels.
Well, I will be waiting to see if a similar body comes out from Olly or Panny. I’m sure that this camera will have better IQ than a m43, but I’ve never found my E-PL1 wanting really: it is still better than my skills. Fuji will be aware of how to price this, they can only make so many at a time anyway.
To me, it seems to sit in the right place: more than a m43, 80% less than a Leica M9. There will be plenty of buyers.
@sahaja that is true. I guess it will come down to iq. can this beat nex7 + zeise glass? but at the same time nex is a tested system, this is new.
Way too expensive for a body only.
If it is 2X better then X100 it will be worth it.
Cool concept, that these lenses complement the lens on X100. There is no other 35mm equivalent in the new line.
I wish they would make also one about 90mm lens for the X Pro 1, so it would look around 135mm.
If all lenses feature a leaf-shutter, I’m convinced to buy one. And if the autofocus works good enough, it’ll probably replace my Canon 5D.
Hm.. wasnt it supposed to be released today at 9? My clock is know five minutes to ten.. ?? I live an hour from London.. Or was it 9 in the evening?
9pm GMT

I can’t wait!
For 1700USD body only?! No, thanks! I would rather buy nex7 for 1200USD and spend the rest on some decent lenses.
lol … most of the morons who voted they will buy the camera in the first poll will now look at their bank accounts and vote NO….
Firstly I was excited. But with this price, I would get back to nex7 again.
Wow $1700 is way too cheap! but i will not buy! A77/nex7 i come 😀 lol…
