Last-Second Fujifilm Best Sellers – Before Prices Go Up in 2 Days (in USA)

A few days ago, we informed you that Fujifilm will raise prices on almost all X and GFX gear, and we also shared the full list of upcoming prices here.

I’ve now checked on what’s been selling best through FujiRumors affiliate links—and here’s the current top-selling gear, just two days before the price hike takes effect.

If there’s anything you’ve been thinking about getting, now’s the time to grab it at the current lower price.

NOTE: All the price increases listed below apply – obviously – only to the U.S. market. That’s why I’m sharing prices in U.S. dollars only—not in euros, yen, or any other currency. Will other regions see increases too? I don’t know. I have no info so far. My guess (not rumor) is that so far price increases are planed only for USA.

  1. Fujifilm X-T5
    BHphoto / Amazon / Adorama / Moment / BestBuy / Paul’s Photo
  2. XF70-300mmF4-5.6 R LM OIS WR
    BHphoto / AmazonUS / Adorama / Focuscamera / Moment / Paul’s Photo
  3. NP-W235
    BHphoto / Amazon / Adorama / Moment
  4. XF18mmF1.4 R LM WR
    BHphoto / AmazonUS / Adorama / Focuscamera / Paul’s Photo
  5. X-S20 body
    BHphoto / Amazon / Adorama / Moment / BestBuy / Paul’s Photo
  6. XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II
    BHphoto / AmazonUS / Adorama / Moment / Nuzira / Paul’s Photo
  7. NP-W126S
    BHphoto / Amazon / Adorama / Moment

Of course the list is heavily influenced by the disastuous stock situation with Fujifilm gear – availability is tight, and many people are simply snapping up whatever they can still find in stock. For example, I bet that if the X100VI would be available anywhere, it would be on top of the list.

If you can’t find what you’re looking for at the usual retailers like BHphoto or Adorama, be sure to check Amazon as well. Several official Fujifilm dealers also sell through Amazon and may still have stock available.

Updated Price Increase List for Fujifilm Gear Starting August 1

We have now received an updated list of the Fujifilm price increases starting August 1st, which includes the new price for the 11 GF lenses missing in our previous report and also these accessories are added to the list.

NOTE: some stores say they won’t honor the old price for all gear ordered today but shipping after August 1st (we reported here). We don’t have statements of BHphoto & Co in this regard. In any case, it’s best to order now and get it shipped tomorrow, or at least hope your store will honor the current price. If you don’t find it in stock at BHphoto & Co, check out Amazon where many official Fujifilm retailers also sell their gear. You might have better luck there.

Fujifilm Price Increase Confirmed – Unshipped Orders at Old Prices Could Be Canceled August 1st

We previously reported that Fujifilm will raise prices on August 1. Now we have the first confirmation: the U.S. store Capture Integration writes:

Fujifilm will increase all products on August 1st. Importantly, all pre-existing orders will be canceled at the older prices. NO CURRENT orders will be honored at pre-tariff pricing. Price increases range from 7-11%. Most notably…”

FujiFilm GFX100 II up 11%
FujiFilm GFX1000 RF up 10%
FujiFilm GFX100S II up 8%
GF Lenses all up 7-9%

Not mentioned is X series gear, which will go up too.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We don’t yet know if this policy applies only to Capture Integration, or if other retailers like B&H Photo will also refuse to honor current prices for gear ordered now but shipping after August 1.

RECOMMENDATION: See it in stock? Buy it now. If not, order anyway and hope the store honors current pricing. Worst case? They cancel your order.

DON’T LOSE HOPE: If you can’t find gear in stock at B&H or similar stores, check Amazon—many official Fujifilm retailers also sell through Amazon, so you might find items there that are out of stock elsewhere. To see which stores are authorized Fujifilm dealers, check the official Fujifilm USA list here.

We have the new price for 9 GF lenses. The other 11 lenses will get also a price increase according to Capture Integration.

Fujifilm X-T6 with Geolocation :: X-Pro4 Thumb Winder :: Recipe Sharing via QR Code :: New Lens Hood for XF150-600 – FR-Readers Wishlist Corner

This is Part 2 of the FR-readers wishlist corner. You can read Part 1 here.

by Craig

[NOTE: here on FujiRumors we investigated the idea if the X-Pro4 should feature a thumb winder similar to the one of the Fujifilm X half. FR-reader Craig added the following question to it.]

Patrick, would it be possible to add a survey that says: “Would you like a REAL, MECHANICAL thumb winder, like the one on the Epson RD-1? NOT a multi-functional. But one that is actually necessary to take the next photo on the X-Pro4 (or whatever they will name it). OR, perhaps, on a specialty Fuji rangefinder. I’d buy it if they did it right like Epson.

may I suggest a post about a topic for a post that may be not so important, but nevertheless bothers me since the introduction of the Fuji XF 150-600 mm zoom lens?

It’s that ugly black, cheap plastic lens hood that was delivered with that lens. It seems that Fuji included a new designed lens hood with the XF 500 – and wouldn’t it be nice if they would offer an accessory lens hood in the same design for the XF 150-600? Fuji offers square metal premium lens hoods for their XF 18 / 23 /33 lenses as an alternative – so why not a better premium hood for the XF 150-600?

REPORT: Fujifilm Price Increase Coming Soon (also on X-E5): Order Now to Lock the Price! – UPDATED

UPDATE: here is the list of price increases – X-E5 might be safe

FR-reader Alejandro has received the message you can see above from the Moment customer service:

Fujifilm just let us know they’ll be increasing the prices of some of their products soon, so l’m reaching out to assure you your order will be unaffected by the increase. Since you placed this order with us before the increase was announced, we’re be honoring your purchase price and eating the cost of the increase

I guess this was to expect. In fact, we’ve already seen hints of this: the X half launched at $850 instead of the planned $700, and the Fujifilm X-E5 is priced like the X-T5 in the U.S., unlike elsewhere where it is priced like the X-T50.

Older gear stayed stable thanks to pre-tariff stock, but that’s running out. Now, with higher import costs kicking in, Fujifilm appears to be officially adjusting prices.

But here is the thing:

When I asked Alejandro for which gear he got this notice, he told me:

this is for the silver X-E5 with kit lens

Now, we told you a few weeks ago that price adjustments on Fujifilm X-E5 can’t be ruled, since it’s now subject to a higher tariff rate than when it first launched.

Maybe that’s also why Amazon US de-listed the X-E5 from their website. They could be waiting for the price increase to become official and then list it again with the new price.

Anyway, if Alejandro’s report to FujiRumors is accurate, then we could be just days away from a price increase.

Also at risk of price increase might be all that gear announced before the tariffs and that is now running low on stock at the US warehouses, so we are talking of Fujifilm GFX100RF, Fujifilm X-T50, X-M5, X-T5, X-H2, X-H2S and more.

And I guess also plenty of GF and XF lenses will get a price increase.

To be clear: there is no official Fujifilm statement as of yet. It’s just an information that has been passed from a store to a FR-reader, who then passed it to me.

However, at this point my advice is: if you’re planning to buy and Fujifilm gear, (pre)order it now to give yourself the best chance of avoiding the potential imminent price hike.

If I get any updates I will let you know.

Deal Wars: Amazon, B&H, and Adorama Battle It Out with 4-Day Mega Sales

 

Competition is a beautiful thing — and today we see another great example of it.

Amazon has just kicked off its massive 4-day Prime event, but B&H Photo [here] and Adorama [here] aren’t letting Amazon steal the spotlight. They’ve launched their own huge 4-day sales to go head-to-head with the retail giant.

Some of the deals are exclusive to B&H and Adorama, while others match Amazon’s Prime pricing — like the Viltrox X mount lens deals currently available at B&H and also at Amazon here.

Here are the dedicated pages:

Of course, Amazon goes far beyond electronics.

Anyway, it might be worth taking a closer look — some of these deals are really solid. I’ve highlighted a few of the most interesting ones for you below.

Fujinon XF 16-200 vs XF 18-135 Size Comparison and Thoughts

We recently took a look at the 8 remaining lenses Fujifilm has “under consideration” for future release.

And since I love this lens here, I picked as my favorite future lens the Fujinon XF16-200mm superzoom.

Now, I know it would make me look more “Pro” if I’d advocate for red-badge fast lenses.

But hey, if Melinda Sue Gordon shoots the official backstage images of the Dunkirk blockbuster with the XF18-135mm lens – we reported here – then I guess the lens is plenty of good enough also for my much more humble needs.

With that said, I decided to take a closer look at the potential XF16-200mm, based on specs given to us by Fujifilm (and turned into the above silhouette by FR-reader Hiergeist), to see if the XF16-200mm could really be a potential replacement for the XF18-135mm.

  • Fujinon XF 16-200mm
    – length 120-140mm
    – diameter 70-80
    – weight 600-800g
  • Fujinon XF 18-135mm
    – length 97.8mm at minium extension and 156mm at maximum extension
    – diameter 75.7
    – weight 490g

We can see: especially on the shorter side of the range given to us by Fujifilm, the XF16-200 would be quite close in size to the current XF18-135mm (just about 22mm longer and 110g heavier).

If Fujifilm would launch the Fujinon XF16-200mm, then I would surely buy it to replace the XF18-135mm.

In fact, after I bought the XF18-135mm I sold both my XF18-55mm and XF55-200mm. But having again the option to go all the way at 200mm and also to go wider at 16mm would be very welcome, especially if the overall size and weight increase are contained as suggested by the specs shared by Fujifilm.

So, I stand by my wish: if I have to pick one, I would like the Fujinon XF 16-200mm.

But again, feel free to drop your wish and vote here.

Fujifilm Europe/Canada Deals End Soon… and No Deals in USA Since Months

The deals on Fujifilm X and GFX gear in Europe and Canada are ending. There are deals pretty much all over the world, from the Philippines to Australia and more

There is only one country that has no deals running since a couple of months now: the United States of America. I guess recently it’s not a great time for Fujifilm USA to launch deals… it’s more about figuring out how not to raise prices.
