This must be the season for camera/lens bundles. B&H currently has them for cameras from three companies: Nikon, Canon, and Fujifilm. All three promotions let you combine camera bodies and lenses for additional savings. The Nikon and Canon offers include many of the usual DSLR bodies, lenses, and more. The Fujifilm promotion includes several of the X-Trans mirrorless rangefinder style bodies – X-E1, X-Pro 1 – alone and combination with various lenses.

Please visit the DEALS page for details.

I just heard about a $200 drop in price on Fujifilm X-series Mirrorless cameras, including body-only models and body/lens kits and several different bodies: X-Pro1, X-E1, X-100s, X20.

I have the X-E1 and it is a really fine performer. In fact, today’s “photo of the day” was made with the X-E1 and the excellent Fujifilm XF 14mm f/2.8 R Ultra Wide-Angle Lens. (See my previous posts about this camera at the blog: Fujifilm X-E1: From DSLR to Mirrorless and More Thoughts About the Fujifilm X-E1. Links to Fujinon lenses for the cameras are also included in those posts.)

• Fujifilm X-E1 Digital Camera Kit (Black) $1199 – includes the 18-55mm lens – was $1399.
• Fujifilm X-E1 Digital Camera Kit (Silver) $1199 – includes the 18-55mm lens – was $1399.
• Fujifilm X-E1 Digital Camera (Black) $799 – body only – was $999.
• Fujifilm X-E1 Digital Camera (Silver) $799 – body only – was $999.
• Fujifilm X-Pro1 $1199 – body only – was $1399 – this model has a hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder system
• Fujifilm X100s $1299 – was $1499 (?) – optical viewfinder with 35mm equivalent non-interchangeable lens.
• Fujifilm X20 Digital Camera (Black) – $599 – mirrorless body with fixed zoom lens)
• Fujifilm X20 Digital Camera (Silver) – $599 – mirrorless body with fixed zoom lens)

Though they are not, to the best of my knowledge, part of the current sae, I have included a list of Fujinon lenses for these cameras below.

• Fujifilm 18mm f/2.0 XF R Lens
