Europe/ UK pricing ?

[_larky]

I've called around everyone I can, and called back a few of the people I spoke to this morning. It seems the price varies depending upon who you speak to at the stores. I offered a £500 deposit to a couple, this seemed to help the cause.

But a few wouldn't take any deposit, as they simply don't know if they can expect any.

That´s so weird. Isn't there like a "main" store that always has things? Maybe check the fuji website for their actual distributor there? I know in Cologne, Germany, there were lots of photo stores, but the main one got an M9 the night it was announced it was in the glass out front. Foto Gregor I think is the name. I would think London would have at least on-the-ball dealer.

Just spoke to:

Very friendly, knows everything abut it, will be going there today to place my deposit. 🙂

If it's anything above £900 I'm not buying.

But???? ^^^^^

Teasing 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

I know I know, but the guy was so friendly. I'm now being told it'll be retailing for £899.00. I just wish it was out already!

hmmm, £899 and I'm so there :0) there goes my 5d classic fund...

Just to update, I have seen one local camera store in Dublin offering the X100 @ a €999 price point, with availability listed from April '11. Perhaps just speculation, but something to hope for, especially given it's not exactly the most competitive camera store around.

Camera Centre.ie have it on their website for €899 including 2Gb card and case, April availability...

Will be interesting to see how the lens performs when the reviews come in.

When Fuji announced 'final' pricing some UK sites wrote £899 then quickly updated to £999. You can see the £899 in cached versions online... anyway the standard pre-order UK price has been £999, but recently both Amazon UK and Calumet Photo (now out of stock) have it listed for £899.

£899 is more in line with international pricing + 20% VAT. Hopefully other stores will match the recent drop.

I'm just asking a couple of high street shops for confirmation.

Clifton cameras are checking with Fuji on Monday to see if they can match Amazon's price in the UK. Seems bizarre how there is a lack of consistency with pricing even in 'rip off' Britain.

 

[cpharris]

Hmmmmmmm, Clifton Cameras are telling me their initial X100 shipment covers my pre-order, which should arrive late next week. But the price is £999

or I cancel that pre-order and wait a month to get it from Amazon at £899.

My brain says wait but my heart says buy the damn camera already 😕

Yes, seen that a while back, which prompted me to start this thread. I'm not entirely convinced this will be the final € price in Ireland, as the camera centre is on Grafton Street in Dublin (the highest rent shopping street in Ireland), with their normal stock usually carrying a premium.

already up to 999 with no card or case

My supplier is doing it for £899. I've pre-paid £999 already, so I said I'd meet them half way and have the hood.

Yes, suspect price in Europe will be €999 or €1,099. Nice camera, but not sure if I have a grand for a camera at the moment..
