Just days after taking NAB 2012 by storm, arguably outshining both of Canon’s highly-published unveilings, as well as cementing itself in the eager-eyes of indie-shooters everywhere, the new 2.5K, raw-shooting, digital cinema camera from Blackmagic Design is now available for pre-order, touting that very appealing price of $2,995.00.
Adorama is one of the first major online retailers to list display availability of the very sleek-looking, all black, Fuji X100, listing the Limited Edition Premium Set for $1,699.95.
The kit includes many of the X100 essentials that were previously sold separately with the original X100, Including the all black lens hood, filter adapter, and genuine black leather case, a sign that Fuji didn’t skimp of the limits of their “Limited Edition.”
For the mystified many who were entranced by the “shoot first, focus later” ability of Lytro’s first consumer light-field camera and quickly hopped online to pre-order, great news! Lytro has begun sending out email shipment confirmations to the very first customers, leaving only a matter of time and distance before the first batch hits the market.
Nikon sure isn’t resting on their laurels following the recently announced and well-received D4 and D800 announcements, as the camera maker is anything but satisfied with the huge amount of momentum already generated through the first few weeks of 2012.
For the first time, we now have a definitive price-point for Fuji X-Pro1, as Amazon and Adorama have jumped the gun and officially listed the highly-anticipated mirrorless interchangeable lens camera for pre-order.
Although no definitive ship date has been set, the Fuji X-Pro1 will hit the market for $1699.95 body-only, remaining consistent with the initial reports that hovered around that very same price.
Quick News – Although information has been scarce on the expected worldwide availability of the EOS C300, Canon Japan confirmed that the company’s digital cinema offering will hit the Japanese market this Tuesday, January 31st, for 1.5 million yen, or just above $19,000 at current conversion rates.
The PL-mount version is expected to make landfall in the region this March.
Currently, just over 200 body-only NEX-7′s have made their way to the public. A far cry from the plans before the devastating natural disaster hit Thailand, flooding Sony’s NEX and Alpha manufacturing and production facility which consequently delayed the NEX-7′s scheduled arrival last year.
Moreover, those looking to score the matching all black 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit were left out in the cold, with no official word on when in fact the pair would be available. That is until today…
B&H has opened up pre-orders on the Canon EOS C300, revealing a concrete price-point at which U.S. retailers will start to move Canon’s digital cinema camera out the door for. Both the EF and PL mount C300 bodies will set you back $15,999, while the Canon cine-zooms could be yours for a mere $40,000+ (ouch!):
Okay, whether you are on-board and riding the light-field camera technology wave, or are pessimistically sitting on the shore, hoping it never leaves the dock, the fact is that Lytro, the company bringing the technology to the masses, is committed to the growth, development, and cultivation of the format going forward.
