Guys, Photography Gear is Not Real Estate, or Why We Should not Complain that Fujifilm X-H1 costs $299

The Controversial Deal

So Fujifilm just launched a mega deal on the Fujifilm X-H1, where you can get the X-H1 body with vertical grip and 2 spare batteries for $999.

Even better, if you bundle it with the Fujinon XF8-16mmF2.8, you are basically going to pay the X-H1 with grip $299 only, or $499 if you bundle it with XF16-55mmF2.8.

Now, I understand it can be annoying, that our gear loses a lot of value.

But guys, the sooner we stop considering our gear an investment that has to keep most of its value over time, the earlier we’ll start feeling better.

It is inevitable, because…

Fujifilm X-H1 Costs $ 299 Only if Bundled with Lens

 

There was some confusion yesterday, since the BHphoto system shows different prices for the X-H1 bundles, depending if you add the free accessories to your purchase or not.

So let me clarify for all:

At the time of this posts, at BHphoto you will get the full discount and best price on the X-H1 + lens bundle, ONLY if you add the “accessories kit” to your purchase.
[Update: BHphoto fixed it now and the discount is available also without the free accessories]

Do that, and you will pay:

So the best deal on X-H1, is if you get it with XF 8-16mm f/2.8, since you are going to pay the camera $299 only. But also bundled to the XF16-55mm f/2.8 you’ll pay only $499 for the X-H1.

And then there is the body only, that, including grip and two spare batteries, costs you only $999.

It’s Crazy: Fujifilm X-H1 now Below $1,000 for Limited Time

Now that’s a steal. The Fujifilm X-H1 is now sold for $999. And bundled with lenses, you still save up to $1,000, which makes the deal even better!

Here are the deals (add the free accessories kit to BH, to see the full discount):
