Hey, one angle I haven’t seen mentioned yet is the “safety / reliability” side of chasing these deals.

**Option A – Wait for Cyber Monday ‘just in case’**
Pros: you *might* see a tiny extra discount or a different bundle.
Cons: inventory risk. In my experience, the X‑T5 and popular primes (23 f/2, 35 f/2) can go out of stock or flip to 3rd‑party sellers with sketchier return policies really fast. You also risk gray‑market listings sneaking into Amazon search results that look tempting but don’t have Fuji USA warranty.

**Option B – Buy on Black Friday from a major dealer**
Pros: historically same price as Cyber Monday, but safer: full Fujifilm warranty, solid packaging, easy returns if there’s a bad copy (decent chance with lenses, tbh). You also avoid “open box” or “used – like new” swaps that sometimes appear when stock is low.
Cons: you accept the price, even if Monday is $50 better.

**Option C – Wait for Fuji’s next official rebate cycle**
Pros: calm, predictable, no FOMO.
Cons: you’re not shooting with the camera for months.

If you care about reliability, I’d personally grab the X‑T5 or X‑S20 + 23 f/2 as soon as a reputable dealer posts the *official* Fujifilm holiday rebate, rather than gambling on Cyber Monday. Safer warranty, safer returns, less stress.

Hope this helps!

Hey,

One angle I haven’t seen mentioned is how *region* and even *climate* affect the deals you’ll actually see.

**Tip:** Check your *local* Fujifilm distributor’s promo calendar (EU vs US vs UK vs Asia) and compare it to your main retailer’s “holiday” pattern. Unfortunately, in a lot of colder‑climate markets (I’m in northern Europe now, used to be US‑based), I’ve had issues where Fujifilm runs the same rebate set from Black Friday through January, but stock for popular bodies like the X‑T5 is gone or super limited by Cyber Monday because shipping slows down and demand spikes before winter trips.

So, IMO:
- If you’re in the US: B&H/Adorama usually mirror Fujifilm’s national promos. Cyber Monday is almost never *better*, just re-packaged. Grab the X‑T5 or X‑S20 as soon as a solid instant rebate drops.
- If you’re outside the US: lens‑only rebates (23/2, 35/2, 50/2) are more common in January “winter promos” than on Cyber Monday. That said, stock can be a pain in smaller markets.

TL;DR: don’t wait for Cyber Monday to be “deeper”; watch your region’s first official Fuji holiday rebate and jump then, especially if you’re in a colder region where shipping & stock get sketchy.

Hope this helps!

Hey,

Looking at this from a resale / depreciation angle, I’d actually stress *less* about Black Friday vs Cyber Monday and more about **which body you pick**.

**Quick take:**
- X‑T5 will almost certainly **hold value better** than the X‑S20 over the next 3–5 years.
- A small extra discount on Cyber Monday won’t matter much compared to choosing the body that depreciates slower.

**Why (based on watching used prices for years):**
- Fuji “X‑T” line bodies (especially the odd numbers: X‑T1/3/5) keep demand longer. They’re seen as the “serious” stills body, so used prices stay surprisingly strong.
- X‑S20 is fantastic, but more of a hybrid/vlogger body. That segment tends to get leap‑frogged faster, so prices slide sooner when the next model hits.
- The 23mm f/2 is a **rock‑solid lens choice**: tons of demand, very slow depreciation. Even if you pay a bit more now, you can usually flip it later with minimal loss if you decide to change focal lengths.

So, if the Cyber Monday discount on X‑S20 is only like $100–150 better, I’d personally still grab an X‑T5 kit on Black Friday and treat it as a longer‑term “asset” that’ll be easier to resell.

TL;DR: optimize for **future resale** over chasing an extra 2–3% off on Cyber Monday.

Hope this helps!

Hey,

One angle nobody’s really touched yet is **season + weather vs when you buy**.

**Option A – Wait for Cyber Monday**
Pros: you *might* save a tiny bit more.
Cons: you’re basically buying right as winter hits (short days, bad light, rain/snow). If you don’t have weather‑sealed glass yet, that 23mm f/2 (not WR) is a bit more “fair weather only”, so you may end up babying it and shooting less.

**Option B – Grab a solid Black Friday deal**
Pros: a couple extra weeks of use before true winter sets in; more time to test everything in different conditions and still be inside return windows. If you get the X‑T5, the WR body pairs better with cold/湿 weather than the X‑S20, especially if you later add a WR lens.
Cons: risk of missing a marginal Cyber Monday price drop, but historically Fuji’s differences are small.

**Option C – Skip both, wait for spring promos**
Pros: you buy right as days get longer and you’ll actually use the kit a ton; sometimes Fuji does pre‑summer promos. Also, you avoid running brand‑new gear in freezing temps (batteries + condensation are real issues).
Cons: you’ll likely pay more than BF/CM, and you’re waiting months.

**Weather‑specific tip:**
If you shoot in rain/snow or big temp swings, I’d prioritize:
- X‑T5 (better handling with gloves, more robust feel) over X‑S20, *even if* the X‑S20 is a bit cheaper.
- Maybe a WR zoom now (like 16–80) on sale, then pick up the 23 f/2 later when you’re not fighting the elements.

In my experience, it works better to get **slightly less of a discount but buy early**, so you can learn the camera before the worst weather and still have return/warranty wiggle room if the cold reveals any issues. I’d personally lean Black Friday > Cyber Monday > spring if you’re weather‑conscious.

Hope this helps!

Hey,

I’d look at this less as “Cyber Monday vs Black Friday” and more as “how much real-world performance per dollar am I getting, and how likely is it to drop further?”

On the performance side:
- **X-T5**: better EVF, more direct controls, higher-res sensor = nicer for stills, especially if you like to fine‑tune exposure quickly. It *feels* faster to shoot with once you’re used to it.
- **X-S20**: smaller, better for video/IBIS + grip, but the handling is a bit more menu‑driven. Performance is still great, just not as “dial‑happy”.
- **23mm f/2**: seriously one of the best value/performance Fuji lenses. AF is snappy, small, and it just lives on the camera. Lens‑only discounts do happen, but in my experience they’re usually modest (like $50–100) vs the bigger cuts on body + kit bundles.

Deal‑wise, I’ve watched this for a few years: Cyber Monday is *usually* just a continuation of the same instant rebates or a minor tweak, not some huge extra drop on Fuji bodies. The risk is more that the good combos go out of stock or certain retailers stop stacking extras (cards, batteries, etc.).

If you see the X-T5 or X-S20 + 23mm f/2 at a price you’re genuinely happy with performance‑wise (vs your current setup), I’d grab it on Black Friday and not wait around hoping for another $50 off.

FWIW my personal rule now: if a Fuji body hits ~15–20% off and the lens I actually *want* is also discounted, that’s “pull the trigger” territory.

Hope this helps!

Hey,

I was in a very similar spot last year – juggling X‑T5 vs X‑S20 and the 23 f/2 – and the thing that *actually* bit me in the end wasn’t price, it was compatibility/fit stuff I hadn’t fully thought through.

**Body choice vs lens “fit”**
Over the years I’ve noticed Fuji deals sometimes push you toward a combo that’s not ideal ergonomically:
- On the **X‑T5**, the 23mm f/2 feels perfectly balanced. It’s small, doesn’t block the OVF-style EVF, and the aperture ring is easy to grab. Great for a lightweight street setup.
- On the **X‑S20**, the same 23 f/2 is still great, but the deeper grip kind of “encourages” slightly larger glass. When I slapped the 16–80 on it (because it was cheap in a kit), I ended up using the 23mm way less than I thought. The kit discount changed how I built my lineup.

**Deal-specific compatibility stuff to watch for**
From what I’ve seen on Black Friday/Cyber Monday:
1. **Older XF23 versions** – Occasionally you’ll see the older 23 f/2 bundled or discounted while the newer 23mm f/1.4 WR stays full price. Make sure you’re actually getting the version you want; some listings are… vague.
2. **Region-specific bundles** – Some kits include oddball third‑party batteries or cheap grips/adapter rings. They technically work, but I had a 3rd‑party battery that wouldn’t report status properly on my X‑S20. Annoying when you’re out shooting.
3. **Video vs stills compatibility** – If you’re even *thinking* about video, the X‑S20 + 23 f/2 combo is great, but note: no OIS on that lens. On X‑S20 it’s usually fine with IBIS, but on X‑T5 I found IBIS + no OIS + walking clips = a bit wobbly. That pushed me toward the 18–55/16–80 on deals later.

**Lesson learned:** don’t just chase the lowest Cyber Monday price. Before you pull the trigger, ask:
- Does this lens actually match how this body handles for *my* use (street vs travel vs video)?
- Is the exact **version** of the lens clear in the listing?
- Am I locking myself into a kit zoom I don’t really want, just because it’s discounted?

If the combo fits how you shoot, Black Friday vs Cyber Monday ends up being a pretty minor detail, IMO.

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you wanna compare specific kit SKUs you’re seeing at B&H/Adorama etc – some of them hide the fine print in tiny text…

Hey,

Coming at this from a slightly different angle: if you’re torn between X‑T5 vs X‑S20 + 23 f/2, I’d actually think about **maintenance and long‑term service** as part of the “deal”. Over the years that’s mattered more to me than whether I saved an extra $50 on Cyber Monday.

**Option A – X‑T5 + prime (more “traditional” body)**
- Pros: More dials, fewer modes you’ll constantly toggle, which in my experience means *less wear* on buttons and wheels. Magnesium body handles knocks better.
- Cons: Higher upfront cost, so you feel every scratch more.

**Option B – X‑S20 + prime (hybrid/video‑y body)**
- Pros: Lighter, smaller, less strain on strap lugs and mount if you carry it all day. Great if you’re actually gonna take it everywhere.
- Cons: Heavier use of the PASM dial and custom modes; I’ve seen those dials get sloppy faster on smaller bodies.

**Option C – Wait for a kit deal (body + zoom) and add the 23 f/2 later**
- Pros: Gives you a “beater” zoom you don’t mind abusing in dust/rain, saving the 23 f/2 for cleaner situations. That seriously extends cleaning intervals for the prime.
- Cons: Ties up more money now, even if the discount looks good.

For **lens‑only deals**: yeah, they show up, but the 23 f/2 is already pretty affordable. What matters more long‑term:
- Use a decent **protective filter** (Hoya/Marumi etc.) and a proper hood – cheaper than a front‑element replacement.
- Get a **rocket blower + sensor swabs** now; Cyber/Black Friday is when those cleaning kits get discounted too. Fuji sensors aren’t hard to keep clean if you blow them off every lens change session.

So if the Black Friday price on either body is decent, I’d personally:
- Grab it then,
- Spend the Cyber Monday time hunting discounts on **batteries, filters, straps and a cleaning kit** instead of waiting for a marginally better body price that may never show.

In the long run, that maintenance stuff saves more shots (and repairs) than a tiny extra rebate.

Hope this helps!

Hey, coming at this from a bit of an eco-nerd angle rather than pure price hunting.

If you care about environmental impact, Cyber Monday vs Black Friday is almost a wash in terms of *new* Fuji discounts – same mass shipping, same packaging, just different day. In my experience, the greener (and often cheaper) play is:

- Watch for **Fuji refurb / open-box X‑T5 or X‑S20** at B&H / Adorama around the same period – you’re reusing gear instead of triggering more production, and you still get warranty.
- Pair it with a **used 23mm f/2** from KEH/MPB/Local shop. That lens is built tough; buying used is basically “recycling with autofocus”.
- If you do buy new, consolidate: body + lens from the same retailer in one shipment instead of splitting orders across Amazon/B&H/etc. Cuts shipping emissions a bit and usually doesn’t hurt pricing.

So yeah, I wouldn’t wait for Cyber Monday *for the planet* or for meaningfully better discounts. I’d aim for the first good Black Friday/rebate price, then optimize by going refurb/used where you can.

Hope that helps you balance the GAS with a slightly cleaner conscience 😄

Hey,

I went through this exact dance last year with an X‑T5 hunt, watching B&H/Adorama like a hawk… and in the end I realized the *dealer vs aftermarket* angle matters almost as much as BF vs CM.

Short version:
- **Fujifilm + big dealers (OEM route):**
- Black Friday and Cyber Monday prices were basically the **same** on bodies (X‑T5/X‑S20). Maybe a tiny extra gift card or tax rebate, but not meaningfully cheaper.
- Where they *do* play is with **official bundles**: X‑T5 body + Fuji 23mm f/2 in a promo, or instant rebates on XF primes. Lens‑only deals are less common, but Fuji does run "XF prime sale" promos a couple times a year, not only on BF/CM.
- Solid warranty, legit serials, easier returns. If something’s off with the sensor or IBIS, you’re not fighting with a random reseller.

- **Aftermarket / alternative sourcing:**
- **Used / open box from the same big dealers** (KEH, MPB, B&H used) can beat any Cyber Monday price, *even during* the sale, especially on lenses like the 23 f/2. That lens is built tough and holds up well used.
- Third‑party primes (Viltrox 23/1.4, Sigma 23/1.4 when/if on X‑mount in your region) sometimes get their own discounts separate from Fuji promos. If you’re cost‑driven, X‑S20 + a discounted third‑party 23mm can land cheaper than X‑T5 + Fuji 23 f/2.
- “Amazon marketplace” type deals might look cheaper on CM, but often grey‑market (no Fuji USA warranty). It’s a gamble I personally don’t take on a main body.

So, if you want **maximum safety + warranty**, I’d:
1. Track **official Fuji rebates** at B&H/Adorama from now through Cyber Monday.
2. In parallel, price out **used 23mm f/2** or a third‑party 23mm. That combo (new body + used/3rd‑party lens) often beats any official kit price.

Lesson I learned: for Fuji, BF vs CM is usually a wash. The *real* savings come from mixing one new OEM piece (body) with a smartly sourced lens (used or third‑party), rather than waiting for Cyber Monday magic that rarely appears.

Hope this helps!

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned: Cyber Monday “extra” discounts sometimes come from grey‑market or 3rd‑party sellers on Amazon, and those **usually don’t carry official Fujifilm USA warranty**. I’ve been burned by that once (body had a shutter issue, Fuji wouldn’t touch it without a valid US warranty card). If you care about warranty/insurance, I’d honestly grab the deal from B&H/Adorama on Black Friday as soon as it matches your target price, rather than waiting for a sketchy Cyber Monday “$50 cheaper” listing that ends up no‑warranty. Also, check if your card adds extended warranty – it typically applies to **authorized retailer** purchases only, not marketplace sellers… so waiting can actually reduce protection instead of saving you much.
