Where is the $2000 X-Pro1 deal with 35 f1.4?

[eleskin]

A few days ago I was on the Adorama web page and saw the X-Pro1 offered in a kit with the 35mm f1.4 in a kit for somewhere around $2000 or so. Now I do not see it anymore. This looked like a good deal and I was ready to buy. I do not see it anymore. Any other good deals out there?

The deal was from Fuji and was held at several retailers, but was only good until the beginning of November.

Too bad

Too bad

This is too bad. That price was really attractive. I hope I see it again before Christmas!

I do see some cheaper prices from other online retailers, but can they be trusted? It would be interesting to hear from some RFF members who bought from someone else other than B&H and Adorama at a greater savings without any problems with the camera or warranty.

This is where I got mine. And got 18 month 0% financing - which I had to use a BestBuy account. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Fujifilm+X-Pro1+16.3MP+Digital+Camera+and+Extra+53mm+Standard+Lens/9999190100050009.p;jsessionid=E5D3DFA767C4661C7282AB8E5B208553.bbolsp-app04-24?id=pcmprd189500050009&skuId=9999190100050009&st=x-pro1&lp=2&cp=1

Best Buy! Cool! Any Taxes?

Cool that Best Buy has it at $2K. I wonder if they charge state tax? I know Costco does if they have a retail store in the state shipped to. I have heard Best Buy.com is seperate from Best Buy stores.

The linked page says, "Camera body plus extra 53mm lens!"

Good. I needed a little extra humor today.

Taxes yes

It seems there is sales tax. It is still a little cheaper than B&H or Adorama, but not as good as the flat $2K deal with free shipping from Adorama. For Christmas, if Fuji is smart, they should offer a package price again!

If demand is high, why would anyone lower the price?

I don't think demand is actually that high. It seems like people are waiting on the XP2 if they don't already have an XP1.

 

[back alley]

i'm very curious about the xp2...

 

[bgb]

We can still get a deal like that here in New Zealand
That's what the body only sells for in this particular store in Christchurch, NZ

Special! We can now supply the X-Pro 1 with a bonus 35mm lens at the slim price of only $2,545.

 

[willie_901]

Low demand = lower prices.

I think the demand is high enough to support the price the OP complained about.

Prices do drop before a new model release as well to reduce inventory.

 

[GaryLH]

I think demand drop a bit due the little brother xe1. There were enough out that that did not care either way about the ovf. The other aspects/features from the xp1 was enough for them to jump along w/ the new price.

The rumored xp2 certainly affected demand as well, but xe1 I believe affect demand more.

^--- the used market for X-Pros is much tighter now that FW 2.0 is out. I'd take that as an indication that demand is up, not down.

 

[GaryLH]

I wonder how much of used market is due to new buyers vs existing owners who decided the price is right for second body?

Btw did u get your replacement xp1 yet?

Gary

 

[semilog]

Not yet. I'm waiting to handle an X-E1 before I decide.

On the other hand I just got a very good deal on a 35 Summilux ASPH. But that belongs on the "lenses that you sold and then bought again" thread.
