Fujifilm announces X-Pro 1 pricing: $1,700 for the body alone

By Molly McHugh Published February 2, 2012

Fujifilm announced its X-Pro 1 at CES, its new interchangeable lens camera that follows in the same retro vein as its popular X100 and X10.

While we were given a thorough introduction to the camera in all its hybrid viewfinder glory, pricing and release dates were still a little iffy. Today, Fujifilm has announced that the latest addition to its X-series will cost $1,700 (body only) and be available at the end of February.

Fujifilm also launched three new lenses to accompany the X-Pro 1: An 18mm F/2.0 lens, a 35mm F/1.4, and a 60mm F/2.4. The 60mm lens will cost $650, and the other two are $600 each.

So you’re looking at $2,000+ camera if you want to grab some glass. It’s spendy, but not entirely surprising given how much the rest of the X-series cost at launch – and it could very well mean the X100 and X10 are nearing price drops. Check out our X-Pro 1 photo gallery to remind yourself why it might deserves so much of your hard-earned cash.

Crutchfield sale: Save on Canon, Sony and Nikon mirrorless cameras

Photography can be a fun and even lucrative endeavor, although it also can be exceedingly expensive, with some of the best full-frame cameras on the market easily reaching and even exceeding one or two thousand dollars, and that's without taking into account the cost of the lenses. Luckily, there is a great sale at Crutchfield right now on various cameras and camera kits, and you can actually grab yourself some excellent cameras, whether you're just starting out or want to upgrade to the next level. To that end, we've picked some of our favorite deals below, although it's well worth checking out the full Crutchfield sale that's happenning now.

What you should buy in Crutchfield's camera sale
If you're just starting out with photography and don't want to spend the thousands of dollars you do for the slightly better cameras that you'll find in the mid-range, the Canon EOS R100 is an excellent option, and this kit includes a lens as well. It has a 24.1-megapixel sensor for high-quality photography, a 3-inch screen so you can get a better sense of what you're filming, and, of course, the RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 lens that the kit comes with. It can also connect with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and all of that comes packaged at , which is $100 off the usual $599 price tag.
