Fujifilm Europe Massive Sell Out of 5th Generation Cameras and Lots of XF/GF Lenses

Last week, Fujifilm UK launched significant rebates on nearly every 5th-generation X-Series camera—excluding the new X-M5 and the wildly popular X100VI. Now, the rest of Europe has followed suit, with similar discounts rolling out across the continent.

But keep in mind: rebates might vary by country, and even within the same market, prices can differ between retailers. The discounts listed here (in €) reflect current German store promotions, but your local deal might be slightly different.

And don’t forget to compare prices across multiple stores as there might be differences. For example:

You know why this is happening, right?

It’s all going to be impossible to sell once this beautiful camera is out ;).

  • ATTENTION 1: In Germany these are Cashback Deals
  • ATTENTION 2: AmazonDE is not listed among the authorized reseller for these particular cashback deals. However, I will list AmazonDE below, because in some cases they have better or same prices. Please compare prices. Fotokoch, Fotoerhardt and Calumet are all eligable for cashback.

Amazon Still Takes Fujifilm GFX100RF Pre-Orders (with Price Guarantee)

Amazon US is still taking pre-orders for the Fujifilm GFX100RF in both colors, black or silver, with pre-order price guarantee.

Since announcement, Amazon has only rarely opened and taken pre-orders for the Fujifilm GFX100RF, so they might have a shorter pre-order list compared to other big online retailers. So maybe they still have some more GFX100RF in the warehouse than pre-orders, hence they are still taking orders. If you want it in silver, also Adorama still takes orders.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Now Shipping in USA

It might seem nothing special, but given the circumstances it is quite a good news this time.

The Fujifilm GFX100RF started shipping in USA as reported over at the massive Fujifilm GFX group.

So our previous report that a first Fujifilm GFX100RF shipment reached US soil before the tariffs hit was accurate.

But that might well be the only good news. Pre-orders have basically stopped in USA as we reported here.

It remains to see if enough GFX100RF units arrived to the US to ship out at least all pre-orders. But I doubt that.

It’s Over: No More Preorders on Fujifilm GFX100RF and X-M5 in USA (for Now)

So it happened, exactly as we told you here: the pre-order options for the Fujifilm GFX100RF and for the black X-M5 are being removed from stores all over the US, as you can see for example also at the GFX100RF BHphoto page here and the X-M5 black BHphoto page here.

Some stores still accept pre-orders though, such as Adorama here and every now and then Amazon shortly opens GFX100RF pre-orders, too.

But also they will soon stop to take pre-orders.

I guess (not rumor) this is what will happen to all Fujifilm gear once current stock sells out. So if you are interested in any gear, it might not be a bad idea to buy it now before it’s all gone.

Cameras like the Fujifilm X-T5 are made in China, so currently subject to 145% tariffs. Other gear is made in Japan and the Philippines, which have a current tariff rate of 10%, at least until the 90 days deadline is over and after that they might go back to higher tariffs, if Japan and the Philippines are not able to make a deal with the current US administration that avoids this worst case scenario.

Anyway, the little good news: some Fujifilm GFX100RF units have reached US soil before the tariffs kicked in – as we reported here. However, it remains to see if there will be enough units to ship out all pre-orders.

Fujifilm GFX100RF and X-M5 Win Prestigious TIPA Award

What an absolutely breathtaking achievement by Fujifilm!

The notoriously ruthless and unforgiving TIPA jury has brutally selected only the very best gear ever for their awards.

Among the elite few deemed worthy of this prestigious honor: the Fujifilm GFX100RF and the Fujifilm X-M5.

Truly awe-inspiring. Especially when you consider the sheer ferocity of TIPA’s evaluation process.

Take last year for instance. TIPA introduced the fiercely competitive and totally not arbitrary category of “Best Polaroid Camera.” The winner? Drumroll please… the Polaroid I-2.

Polaroid heroically triumphed over zero competition to win a TIPA award in a category made just for Polaroid.

Ger Yours – Before Tariffs Kick In

First Batch of Fujifilm GFX100RF Slips Past US Tariffs, But Trouble May Follow

A FR-reader reached out to Adorama and asked about his Fujifilm GFX100RF pre-order, which he placed just minutes after announcement.

The reply he got is the following:

The cameras are in stock, and the order has cleared verification. At this time, I don’t see any issues. We’ll begin processing orders on April 21st, following the Passover holiday. You’ll receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking information as soon as your order ships.

So, it sounds like some Fujifilm GFX100RF have made it into US soil ahead of the US tariffs and shipping of the first pre-orders will proceed smoothly.

But I also confirm that Fujifilm plans to suspend orders for Fujifilm GFX100RF, along with suspension for X-M5 black and X100VI orders.

If you were interested in the Fujifilm GFX100RF, then maybe it could be good idea to pre-order it now, hoping that one of the stores has more stock than pre-orders, hence you’ll get it at the regular price now.

Same goes for the Fujifilm X-M5 black, which can also be still pre-ordered at BHphoto as well as at Adorama here and will ship end of April, too.
