The Cyber Monday camera deals are coming thick and fast now – but this price drop from Jessops is one that stopped us in our tracks. There have not been that many deals on Fujifilm's X range of mirrorless cameras up until this morning - when we started to see some decent discounts coming through. And then we saw these ones...
Jessops has not just knocked a further £100 off the Fujifilm X-H2S and the Fujifilm X-H2 (in line with some other stores), it is also throwing in a free Fujifilm VBG-XH Battery Grip worth £399.
The biggest saving comes with the more expensive X-H2S - where you get a £300 discount PLUS an additional £300 cashback direct from Fujifilm AND the bonus of a vertical grip worth £399. A total saving of £999. And effectively yours for just £1,799 body only,
Update: Both of these deals are now also available at Wex Photo and Park Cameras
The more affordable Fujifilm X-H2 comes with a discount of £100, and a £100 Fujfilm discount, plus the free £399 grip - so still a sizable £599 worth of savings.
The deals are so good, the only question a Fujfilm fan needs to ask is which to go for? The two cameras look and handle the same, but as you can read in our exhaustive Fujifilm X-H2 vs X-H2S comparison there are some serious, if subtle, differences under the hood.
But the easy way, perhaps, to pick the two cameras apart is to think of the X-H2S for speed, and the X-H2 is designed for resolution. But as the H in the name might imply - both of the 2022 X-H models are hybrid cameras - designed for those that need high-performance video as well as great stills shooting.
Fujifilm itself talks about the X-H2S appealing to those that need the faster autofocus - so those shooting sport, aircraft, or wildlife say. And that the X-H2's higher resolution, means it is more attractive to commercial, product and landscape shooters.
