Fujifilm X100S in Stock & Price Reduction on X-E1/Lens Bundle

Leave a comment

The Fujifilm X100S is currently in stock at site-sponsor B&H Photography. The X100S is a digital rangefinder camera with a fixed focal length 35mm equivalent 23mm f/2 lens, featuring a hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder. It uses the Fujifilm 16MP X-trans sensor. This camera has been in great demand and very hard to find, with extremely limited stock. I just checked and B&H has it in stock as of the time of this posting.

The X100s uses much of the same technology as the interchangeable-lens X-E1 that I use – see my review here. And speaking of that camera, the X-E1 bundled with the Fujinon 18-55mm lens is currently only $999, or $200 off the previous price. (There are rumors that an “X-E2” model may be announced soon, so this is probably a great time to save money on the fine X-E1.)

Canon 6D Body In Stock at B&H

Leave a comment

A brief update: For those who have been waiting for the new Canon EOS 6D full frame DSLR, I just was notified that the body-only version of the 6D is now in stock at site-sponsor B&H Photo. The price includes a Lowepre Rezo 170 shoulder bag, a 32GB memory card, and is eligible for a B&H “2% reward” program.

(During the first days when new bodies become available, stock frequently runs out, only to be replenished later on, so act quickly or be comfortable with a possible wait.)

Canon EOS 5D Mark III 24-105mm Lens Kit Back in Stock at B&H

Leave a comment

I see that the Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital Camera Kit with Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS USM AF Lens is back in stock at site-sponsor B&H Photo. The camera was recently announced, but initially was very hard to find – and then became virtually impossible to find while Canon was dealing with some inevitable first-batch issues. But it sounds like those issues have now been resolved, and the camera is again becoming available.

The 5D3 is in some ways very similar to the previous model, the 5D2. The MP count is only very slightly higher – and the small increase won’t have any practical effect on still photographs. Whether a full-frame DSLR has 21MP or 22MP, in the hands of a skillful photographer it will be capable of producing photographs that can be printed quite large. The 5D3 does build in the 5D2 and it offers real improvements – to mention two, the new camera has an upgraded auto-focus system and a significantly higher frame rate. Features like these expand the camera’s useful to encompass a wider range of photographic subjects and situations.

I use the 24-105mm f/4 L IS zoom that is include in this bundle. For most people looking for a first lens for this camera, the 24-105 is likely to be the best option. It provides excellent image quality, image-stabilization, and a usefully large focal-length range. For many types of photography it can be sufficient all by itself.

If you have been waiting for this Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital Camera Kit, you may want to act quickly – B&H reports that the current stock is limited.
