Deal: Fuji X-Pro1 w/ XF 27mm f/2.8 Lens for $699

By

Fuji X-Pro1

With the Fuji X-Pro2 just announced, the X-Pro1 remains at some crazy clearance prices.

You can get the Fuji X-Pro1 with the XF 27mm f/2.8 lens for $699, along with a 32GB SanDisk U3 memory card and camera bag. The XF 27mm f/2.8 lens alone sells for $449 right now, so it’s like you’re paying $250 for the X-Pro1 body.  That’s a pretty cheap way to buy into the Fuji X-Series.

Also, you can get the X-Pro1 with the XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS lens for $799. It also includes a 32GB SanDisk U3 card and camera bag. This is another solid deal, considering that the XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS lens runs $699 in you buy it alone right now. I’ll let you do the math on that value.

Fuji X-M1

Fuji has been on a roll with its mirrorless camera system since unveiling the X-Pro1. Fuji later followed with the X-E1 last summer and the base model X-M1 earlier this summer.

Now, Fuji looks set to release a model below the X-M1 – the very compact X-A1.

The Korean Radio Research Agency (apparently, a legit government entity) has a registration for the Fujifilm X-A1 dated July 25, 2013. There are no specs revealed in the registration; however, the model name confirms prior rumors. In addition to the name, earlier rumors suggested that the X-A1 would not sport an APS-C sensor, opting instead for a smaller sensor and a more compact body.

The Fuji X-A1 is rumored to be launching in August 2013.
