Hey,

I’ve been tracking Fuji Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals the last 3 years while I slowly built my kit (ended up with an X-T5 and the 23mm f/2 + 35mm f/2). Here’s what I’d personally watch for:

**1. Go straight to the “official” dealers first**
In my experience, the most reliable Fuji discounts came from:
- **B&H / Adorama (US)**
- **WEX / Park Cameras (UK)**
- **Henry’s / Camera Canada (CA)**

They usually mirror Fujifilm’s **instant rebates**, which are way better than random coupon codes. I’d be careful with smaller shops or “too good to be true” eBay/Amazon sellers.

**2. Realistic discounts I’ve actually seen**
From my notes last year:
- **X-T5**: typically ~$150–$200 off body-only, or a kit with the 16–80mm dropping by ~$300 vs normal price.
- **X-S20**: smaller cuts, more like $100-ish off or bundle freebies (bag, SD card, extra battery).
- **XF 23mm f/2 & 35mm f/2**: usually **$100 off each** during promos. I picked up the 35mm f/2 for $299 vs the usual $399.

**3. Watch for bundles, not just raw discounts**
I’d suggest checking for:
- Body + lens + **official Fuji battery** bundles
- Kits that include **fast SD cards** and a basic bag – saves you from buying junk later.

If you’re torn:
- X-T5 deals tend to be a bit better percentage-wise,
- X-S20 usually wins on value if a **vlogger-style bundle** pops up.

So I’d start by checking B&H/Adorama’s “Holiday Savings” / “Instant Rebates” page, then compare to your local regional pro dealer. Don’t wait for last-minute lightning deals – the Fuji promos are usually fixed for the whole BF/CM period.

Hope this helps!

Hey,

From a pure budget/value angle, you might want to think in terms of **“what’s usually worth waiting for” vs “what’s marketing fluff.”**

In my experience (US/EU):
- Big stores like **B&H, Adorama, WEX, Park Cameras, MPB** usually just mirror Fuji’s official promos. Expect **~$200 off bodies** (X‑T5/X‑S20), and maybe **$50–$150 off XF primes**.
- The *real* savings often come from **bundles**: body + battery + small bag + card, or lens + Fuji rebate + store gift card. Do the math – sometimes a “free” bag is useless, but an extra battery or $50 gift card is effectively more discount.
- Check **used / open-box** alongside BF deals. X‑T5 bodies on MPB / KEH / local classifieds often drop a bit more because everyone’s upgrading. You can sometimes beat BF “new” pricing by **$150–300** going used in excellent condition.

If you’re cost‑conscious, I’d suggest:
- Prioritize **one body + one prime** (23 *or* 35) now, rather than stretching for both and skimping on memory, batteries, etc.
- Be careful with financing/BNPL for a small percentage discount – fees or interest can wipe out your “deal.”

If you share your region and currency, people can probably point to the best local shops to watch.

Hope this helps!

Well, funny timing – I went through this exact dance last year hunting an X-T5 + primes, and I ended up learning more about Fuji discount patterns than I really wanted to 😅

From a *technical* / pricing-nerd angle, Fuji tends to do **standardized global promos** rather than wild retailer-only flash sales. So instead of one store being insanely cheaper, you usually see:

- **Body-only:** X-T5 is often $200 off in US/EU during BF/CM.
- **Body + kit zoom:** sometimes $300-ish off vs regular combined price.
- **F2 primes (23/2, 35/2):** usually $50–$100 off each.

Where it gets interesting is **bundles and tax/shipping**:
- In the US, I’ve seen the most consistent Fuji deals at **B&H, Adorama, and Amazon (sold by Amazon/Fujifilm)**. Price is usually identical, but B&H/Adorama often throw in **extra batteries, cards, or bags** which, in my experience, are actually more useful than chasing another $20 off from some random shop.
- In the EU/UK, big chains (WEX, Park, Foto Koch, etc.) often line up with Fuji’s official promos but differ in **cashback vs instant discount**. That affects warranty and returns if something goes wrong.

Lesson I’ve learned over the years: for Fuji specifically, I’d **prioritize an authorized dealer with good return policy** over hunting tiny extra savings. Fuji bodies aren’t cheap to fix out of warranty, so I’d avoid grey import “deals” that undercut by $100–150.

If you’re on the fence between X-T5 and X-S20, watch for **lens+body kits**: sometimes an X-S20 + 18–55/2.8–4 kit drops enough that adding a discounted 23/2 or 35/2 gives you a really solid starter system for not much more than the body alone.

Hope this helps! If you share your region and budget ceiling, people can probably point you to very specific numbers to look for.

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned yet: if you’re chasing Fuji Black Friday deals, be super picky about *where* you buy. I’d stick to official Fuji dealers (B&H, Adorama, Wex, MPB, KEH, major regional camera chains) or Amazon **sold by** Amazon / Fuji, not random marketplace sellers. In my experience, sketchy “too good” prices often mean gray market stock (no Fuji warranty in your region), missing serials, or refurbished gear sold as new. For bodies like the X‑T5 / X‑S20, full warranty + easy returns is worth more than saving an extra $50. Also, double‑check shutter count and return policies on used “deal” bodies, and avoid bundles that use no-name batteries/chargers – third‑party batteries can swell or fail and aren’t worth the risk around expensive gear. So yeah, wait for legit retailer promos (instant rebates, proper kits with Fuji batteries/grips) and ignore anything that looks wildly below the normal BF range; better a slightly smaller discount than a warranty headache later.

For long‑term ownership, I’d say: don’t chase the absolute lowest BF/CM price, chase the *right kit*. I’ve had my X‑T line + 23/2 + 35/2 for years; the bodies drop maybe $150–$200 and the f/2 primes $50–$100 in real sales at places like B&H/Adorama (US) or Wex/Park (UK). Honestly, over 5+ years of use that extra $50–100 you might save by waiting for a unicorn deal matters way less than getting the body you actually want (X‑T5 if you like dials, X‑S20 if you want video/AF features) and a weather‑sealed pair of lenses from a reputable dealer with good return/warranty support.

Hey, funny timing – I literally spreadsheet‑nerded my way through Black Friday last year comparing Fuji vs Sony vs Canon vs Nikon deals 😅

From a *market* point of view, Fuji discounts are usually more conservative than Sony/Canon. Sony bodies (esp. older A7 gen) will often see steeper percentage cuts, but Fuji tends to protect pricing and instead pushes **bundles** and **instant rebates**. So if you’re brand‑agnostic, Sony/Canon might look “cheaper” on paper… but:

- Fuji XF primes (23/2, 35/2) go on sale pretty predictably and hold value amazingly well on the used market. Long‑term cost of ownership is actually fantastic.
- With Sony/Canon, you might save more on the body BF weekend, but native lenses can be pricier, and resale is more volatile when the next gen drops.

In practical terms, I’d expect:
- X‑T5 / X‑S20: modest body discount or kit rebate vs. much bigger % cuts on competing brands
- XF 23/2 & 35/2: solid, repeatable rebates that make them no‑brainers

Lesson I learned: if you’re already set on Fuji, chase **Fuji lens rebates + small body discount**, not “Sony‑level” blowout pricing. Over 3–5 years, Fuji can end up cheaper than the brands that *look* like the bigger Black Friday win.

Hope this helps!

Hey,

One angle I haven’t seen mentioned much is **where you live and the local climate**, because that can actually change which deals are “good” vs risky, especially for Fuji.

If you’re in a **humid / tropical / coastal** area (SE Asia, Florida, etc.), I’d be careful with:
- **Used or gray‑market deals** on primes – fungus and haze are a real thing. A cheap 23/2 from a super‑humid region can end up costing more if you have to service it.
- Non‑weather‑sealed lenses if you’re often in rain / mist. The X‑T5 + WR primes (23/2, 35/2) on sale from an official local dealer is, IMO, safer long term than a slightly cheaper non‑WR combo.

If you’re in a **cold / snowy climate** (Canada, Nordics, etc.):
- I’d prioritize buying from **local authorized dealers** that actually honor warranty for cold‑related issues (buttons, dials, battery problems). Sometimes the discount is smaller than US deals, but service is easier.
- Watch for **bundle deals that include extra OEM batteries** – cold kills cheap third‑party ones faster.

So yeah, I’d suggest checking what your **local Fuji distributor usually does for BF/CM**, then comparing that to global prices, but factor in: humidity, cold, and warranty. A “smaller” discount that fits your climate and has local support might be the better deal.

Hope this helps!

Hey,

So I’m gonna come at this from a bit of a DIY / self‑service angle rather than “wait for the perfect retail promo.” In my opinion, with Fuji, *how* you hunt the deals matters as much as *where*.

**Short version:** don’t just sit and refresh B&H/Wex and hope. Build your own “deal” using a mix of used, refurb, and stacking offers.

What’s worked amazing for me over the last 5–6 Black Fridays:

1. **Build-your-own bundle (DIY style)**
Instead of chasing official Fuji bundles, I’ll grab:
- Body from: official refurb store, KEH, MPB, or local classifieds
- Lenses from: separate used sellers, plus cashback / coupon stacking
I’ve more than once beaten the “official” BF bundle price by ~$150–300 doing it this way.

2. **Used body + new lens (or vice versa)**
For an X‑T5 or X‑S20, I’d *seriously* consider:
- Used body (EX / Like New condition)
- New primes when they go on sale
Typical Fuji sale on 23/2 or 35/2 is like $50–100 off new. But a used X‑T5/X‑S20 can be $200–400 under new if you’re patient and watch prices a couple weeks before and after BF.

3. **DIY price tracking**
I keep a dumb little sheet with:
- “Normal” street price
- Last 3–4 sale prices (Prime Day, previous BF, random promos)
Then I know if a BF deal is *actually* good or just marketing fluff.

**Rough expectations (from what I’ve seen):**
- Bodies: $150–300 off new during big promos, more if discontinued.
- Small WR primes (23/2, 35/2): $50–100 off new, or ~30–40% off used in great condition.

So yeah, I’d say: check the usual big retailers for baseline discounts, but DIY your final “bundle” using used/refurb + stacking. That’s where the real savings are, especially on Fuji.

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you want a sanity check on specific prices you’re seeing.

Hey,

I’m gonna answer this from a slightly different angle: **performance per dollar** specifically on the X‑T5 / X‑S20 and the 23/35 primes around Black Friday.

**1. Understand the issue – what actually *matters* performance‑wise**

In my experience (I shoot an X‑T5 now, used X‑S10/X‑T3 before), BF/CM deals don’t usually change the *performance* you get… they just change **which combo is actually worth it**.

For pure shooting experience:
- **X‑T5** → better EVF, more resolution for cropping, more “serious” ergonomics. Great if you print big or crop a lot.
- **X‑S20** → lighter, better for video + vloggy stuff, still great AF. If you carry it all day, this matters way more than $100 one‑time savings.

So, I’d be careful not to let a $150 promo push you to the *wrong* body for how you actually shoot.

**2. Where the performance‑oriented BF value usually is**

From what I’ve seen the last few years:
- **US: B&H, Adorama, Amazon (sold by Amazon/Fujifilm)**
- Typical: $100–$200 off bodies, or bundles with extra battery + SD card.
- Performance angle: the **extra battery** is worth more than you think, especially for X‑S20 (smaller body, you’ll actually shoot more because it’s light, but it eats battery if you do video).
- **EU/UK: Wex, Park Cameras, Foto Erhardt, Calumet, MPB for used**
- Sometimes the price cut is smaller, but you get **extended warranty** or local service, which is performance‑relevant long term (less downtime if something fails).

For lenses:
- The **XF 23mm f/2 and 35mm f/2** almost always go on sale.
- Expect roughly **15–25% off** in most regions.
- Honestly, their wide‑open performance is already great for the price, so they’re a steal when discounted.
- The **XF 23mm f/1.4 / 33mm f/1.4**: if they get even **10–15% off**, that’s actually huge value. AF is faster, rendering is nicer. If you shoot low light or moving subjects, this is where I’d spend extra.

**3. Multiple ways to play this, performance‑wise**

You might want to consider these strategies:

**Option A – Body deal first, cheap prime later**
- Watch for a solid X‑T5 or X‑S20 body discount from an authorized dealer.
- Grab *one* f/2 prime (whichever is discounted more – 23/2 vs 35/2).
- Reason: getting the **right body** gives you better AF, better EVF, better handling *every single time* you shoot. Lenses can be upgraded later.

**Option B – Slightly smaller body discount, but better glass**
- Sometimes a bundle with a more expensive prime (23/1.4 or 33/1.4) doesn’t look crazy cheap, but the **total performance jump** is bigger.
- If you shoot a lot in low light or like subject isolation, this will change your real‑world shots more than 6–8 MP of resolution or a minor body discount.

**Option C – Used + BF lens deals**
- I’ve done this a few times: buy a **used X‑T5 or X‑S20** from MPB / KEH / local, then jump on **new lens discounts** during BF.
- You get near‑top performance for less, but make sure to:
- Check shutter count.
- Check return policy.
- Avoid “bargain” condition unless you’re OK with scuffs.

**My cautious recommendation**

If you care about the *driving experience* of the camera:
- If you like dials, viewfinder centric shooting, and mostly stills → **wait for a real X‑T5 discount** at an official dealer, then pair it with whichever f/2 prime is more discounted (23/2 if you like wider, 35/2 if you like more classic FOV).
- If you do mixed photo/video, travel light, or vlog → **X‑S20 is the smarter buy** even if the discount is a bit smaller. Don’t let a slightly bigger X‑T5 deal lure you into a body you won’t enjoy carrying.

Price‑wise, I’d say:
- **Bodies:** $100–$200 (or equivalent) off is realistic; more than that is rare but possible on kits.
- **Primes:** 15–25% off the f/2’s, 10–15% on the faster 1.4’s if you’re lucky.

If you share your region and whether you lean more stills vs video, people can probably point you to very specific stores and current promos.

Hope this helps!
