Does this mean that the XE5 will only be available in the body-only configuration until December? If so, what will buyers do in the meantime?
At the end of the Summit when it showed prices it said the body and then the kit were coming August (Best Buy has this date shown as 8/28). Then it said the lens would be available December. So seems only way to get the lens sooner is to get the kit. Assuming they have enough lenses left over by December 😂
Now that you mention it, they have done things like that before. But, wow, that is a long time to wait for the stand-alone version of the lens. And, yes, it would not be wise to place big bets on actual availability in December, and certainly not a bet on sufficient availability.

If you're done with them as a brand why do you keep posting here on the Fuji Forum? Just for attention?
