Thanks for the link

The price is cheaper than I expected. I would have expected the numerical equivalent of the US prices.

You are welcome

You are right US and UK prices of X100, X10 at launch (if I remember correctly were equivalent) numerically with about 100 difference.

In UK a $1600 camera would be about £1500, due to taxes and other things (sometimes referred to as "rip off Britain").

$1700 will then I think include 35mm f1.4

Not any more...

Luckily for us Brits, we aren't getting ripped off as much compared to our USA friends... The US are paying more for their cameras due to weakend dollar and strong Yen.

Where as a few years ago a $1600 camera would be priced at £1500, £1000 to £1100 seems about right...

+1 for EU:
If a camera is 999.-$ in the US, it is usually 999.-€.
In Europe we have 19% to 25% sales tax.

Anyway: When the price is 1000.-£, it could be that the rumored price from the French magazine of " 1300.-€" is true for body only instead of "kit with 35mm lens".

Re: Pricing X-P1 : UK Senior business manager Fujifilm : body only around £1000

So US NEX 7 kit is $1349, UK same kit is £1128... (Sony stores)

So £1000 correlates to $1200 body only.

But we're hearing ~$1700 for body here, which sounds more like a kit pricing based on the OP's info???

Re: Pricing X-P1 : UK Senior business manager Fujifilm : body only around £1000

I've pre-ordered from Expansys before. How it works is they advertise a price and when you pre-order you get an email saying they will alert you to the actual price once it comes closer to release. Closer to release you get an email asking if you still want to order at X.XX price. You can say yes or no. So I don't expect them to honor any pre-order price.

Hi Willie ,

I placed a pre-order myself with opted for bank transfer and they sent email with confirmation number .No money up front and no details needed till item in stock. I suspect the pricing may be wrong but it will be interesting to see what happens.

Re: Pricing X-P1 : UK Senior business manager Fujifilm : body only around £1000

Agree. If it's closer to the price suggested in the video, I will still probably buy it. I guess once other vendors like Amazon start their pre-orders we should get a better indication of the price
