X-M1: $62 off at AmazonUS and Gold Award at DPreview + Photoshop $35 off Adorama + crazy X-deals

1) The X-A1 has just been announced (read the X-pert corner special here – with RAW samples) and suddenly the price for the X-M1 body dropped to $638 at AmazonUS here. It’s still more expensive than the X-A1 with XC 16-50 zoom lens ($599), but if want the X-Trans sensor and are looking for a backup camera, then check out this deal here.

According to the just published DPreview in-depth review here (Gold Award for the X-M1) “The best thing about the X-M1 is its top-notch photo quality. While the bundled 16-50mm lens produces good results, photos taken on Fuji’s prime lenses – some of which cost as much as the camera itself – are truly stunning. Since noise isn’t a problem until the highest sensitivities, you can shoot with confidence in low light. Whether you’re making the leap into the mirrorless, or just want a second camera with great photo quality, then the Fujifilm X-M1 earns our highest recommendation.”

2) Adorama is offering here Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 & Premiere Elements 11 Bundle for Mac and Windows with a price drop of $35 for $90.

both deals found via dealsrunner.

Pre-orders (in stock already OCT-03 at BH)! X-A1 in classic black / indigo blue + XC 55-230 in black / silver

 

BHphoto expects to have the X-A1 in stock almost one month earlier than all the other stores. According to their website they will have it in stock on October 3rd, while AmazonUS expects it for October 30th. At the moment there are two colours available, the classic black and the indigo blue.

PRE-ORDERS

X-A1 with XC 16-50 ($599): AmazonUS black – blue /BHphoto black – blue / Adorama black – blue / Pictureline black – blue

XC 50-230 ($399): AmazonUS black – silver / BHphoto black – silver / Adorama black – silver

There is already a first note of AmazonUS saying that “due to high demand we anticipate being unable to fulfill all customer orders with our first allocation. Product supply from Fujifilm is very limited. Your place in line will be maintained, and we will not charge your credit card until we ship the product.”

So, if you never fell in love with the X-Trans sensor, but liked the vintage look of the Fuji X-series, here is where you can pre-order the most affordable of all MILC X-series cameras!

To see if it is the camera that meets your needs, check out this X-pert corner special (with RAW samples) about the X-A1. But if you can’t go without the X-Trans sensor, then the most affordable MILC-X remains the Fuji X-M1: [shopcountry 13828]
