Fuji X Series

[LiE]

Quick, buy two before they go up!

Fixed.

Fuji pricing is out of hand. The X-T6 is probably going to launch at, what, £2500?

I would just buy the H2 for half the price from efinity or whatever they call themself these days, it will probably be better than the X-T6 except for some specs that dont really matter at all to most people. They are certainly nicer to hold and use that the XT line in my view.

£1600 or something for the XE5 is hilarious, it's double the price of the old XE4....

I think I might get a used XT5 and update from my XT1.

Time will tell. The leak I saw was actually $1600 so there may have been Tariff mitigations included in that. There's a chance it could be cheaper in the UK/EU.
Either way, I think anything over £1000-£1100 is scandalous and, as was mentioned, it begs the question what a future X-T6 would be priced at.

Personally, I'm itching to get an order in for the 23mm lens - it will do me very nicely.

There is currently and XE4 with the 27/2.8 I think in LCE, for £1300!!!

The lens is £400 new, wasn’t the XE4 £799?

Meaning it’s £100 above RRP.

That's probably priced about right based on the current used market. The 27mm is £350ish and a good X-E4 is £900 minimum.
I wouldn't pay those prices personally and even X100v's are still well north of £1000.

 

[LiE]

A good x100v isn’t far off the price they were new!

If the used price and supply trend continues, scalping will become an exacerbating factor.

I had an opportunity to get a GFX50 earlier in the year for a decent price which I passed on. I’m coming to regret that as prices continue to climb with no plateau in sight. The resultant divorce solicitor fees are also climbing

 

[xaldub]

Surely this isn’t because of tariffs….the jump in cost is way too big.

Fewer people buying prosumer cameras these days which means higher prices to cover the R&D costs. The photography industry has been heading this way for over a decade, but the pandemic really hit hard.

I really should have got that XT5 15months ago for like £1299.

The XT50 body has been available for almost £1000 a few times.

Yup, in a similar fashion I was recently looking at a X-T5 as an upgrade from my X-T4, but the price hasn't come down in 2.5 years. Also, with R&D slowing down, the differences between camera generations is becoming smaller.

On the flip side, I sold off my GTX medium format gear about 3 years ago and got about 80% of the initial costs about ( the losses were mainly on the cameras ... lenses held value really well ).

I did see a boxed like new one for £1k last month, but I bought a flight to Japan and a Macbook Air...I need to let me finances recover first lol

 

[LiE]

John Lewis have returns sometimes, this weekend an open box x-t5 for 1.2k.

Amazon had them at almost £1000 a few times recently,but for the body only.

That would be perfect, I don't need lenses.

Charcoal Silver is £1029.90 on there now.

Oh wait, that's the XT50...I want the XT5.

edit - I need to chew on it a bit more....I probably don't need the difference in features like dual cards for personal stuff.

I have the XT5 and its a nice camera but the body is quite bulky.

I got into GFX exactly 1 year ago and since then all the gear I bought has significantly increased in price. I could easily get out of GFX right now and make a very tidy profit.

The X-mount market has been fairly steady in the same time, minor ups and minor downs.
