Save $800 on this Fujifilm mirrorless camera, lens bundle before Black Friday
Black Friday is fast approaching, but it appears that this year, US retailers are using most of November to launch tempting deals on technology rather, instead of just a week or two.
When it comes to photography equipment, a deal at Best Buy for a bundle containing a Fujifilm GFX50S II mirrorless camera and a Fujinon GF35-70mm lens caught our eye. While normally set at a retail price of approximately $4500, Best Buy has brought the cost down to $3699, a discount of $800 or 18%,
The Fujifilm GFX50S II mirrorless camera packs a lot of the power you would expect from a DSLR. The camera is equipped with a 51.4-megapixel CMOS sensor, an ISO range of 100 - 12800, an X-Processor 4 image processor, and a burst speed of three frames per second. As you may expect from a premium camera, this device comes with Autofocus, automatic image stabilization, an OLED color viewfinder, and an LCD touchscreen monitor.
