April 2013 Canon Lens and Speedlite Promotion

Today’s first listing is not exactly a “deal,” but more of an endorsement. Last month I picked up a Fujifilm X-E1 and several Fujinon lenses for certain types of shooting where I need great image quality in small, light, portable equipment. This camera is a “rangefinder style” (though not literally a rangefinder) camera with an electronic viewfinder that will evoke memories of classic rangefinder cameras by way of its small size, its overall design, and the relatively small lenses that it uses. I have had a chance to use it enough now to understand how it works and how well, and I’m very impressed with the camera and even more impressed with the Fujinon lenses and the image quality they can produce on this camera. Recently I posted a report on my initial experiences (“Fujifilm X-E1: From DSLR to Mirrorless“) and I will likely add a real review at some point.

In any case, I would like to share links to several of the Fujifilm cameras in this category, along with links to some of the Fujinon lenses, most of which I have now used.

* I have used these lenses and am very impressed by their quality.

** The 55-200mm zoom has been announced but is not yet available. I intend to acquire it when it is available.

A reminder that site-sponsor B&H Photo closes in a few days for Passover, and orders placed after noon EDT on Sunday, March 24th may not ship until they reopen. Here is their statement:

“Upcoming Passover Closing

“B&H will be closed from Monday, March 25th in the observance of Passover and will reopen on Wednesday, April 3rd at 9:00AM EDT. Place your order by 12:00PM Noon EDT on Sunday, March 24th in order to ship before the Holiday. Orders placed after this time will ship when we reopen. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patronage.”

You might want to consider this if you plan to order something in the next week or two or if you have been waiting to take advantage of some of the promotions and bundles that expire at the end of March, including several from companies like Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, and more. (See other posts below on this Deals page for links to some of these specials.)

Nikon has released a new lens, the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Lens. This is a wide range telephoto zoom with all of the expected bells and whistles, and a $2,696.95 price to match! It is in stock in limited quantities at B&H. (A similar Canon lens, the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM Autofocus Lens, is one of my most-used lenses.)

Thursday, March 21, 2013

Canon announced new cameras and lenses including a new Canon EOS Rebel SL1 DSLR, an updated Canon EOS Rebel T5i DSLR, a new Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens, and a point and shoot body. (Many are still waiting for an update to the Canon EOS 7D, and there are some rumors that such a thing may be on the way before too much longer.) The new gear is available for pre-order now at site-sponsor B&H:

Also, don’t forget the ongoing Canon and Nikon lens rebates – expiring on March 30. Don’t wait until the end of the month to order!
