This Week’s Top 10 Deals for Filmmakers – FUJIFILM, Olympus and Sony Cameras and more

There are a couple of new interesting deals for filmmakers available. We selected the best 10 offers of filmmaking gear from our partners’ online shops for this week. Including FUJIFILM, Olympus and Sony cameras, tripod, monitor, on-camera microphone and more.

I went through the current deals on our partners’ websites and selected the top 10 offers currently available, which I think could be interesting for you. Unfortunately we didn’t find great deals for filmmakers in Europe this week, but we will update this post if that changes! By shopping at our affiliate partners’ stores you are supporting cinema5D through our buy links, as we get a small affiliate commission when a purchase is completed.

Now, let’s take a look at this week’s top 10 deals for filmmakers:

B&H: FUJIFILM X-E3 with 18-55mm Lens and Accessories Kit – $200 Discount

I decided to start this week’s deals selection with the tiny FUJIFILM X-E3 rangefinder style camera. My colleague Johnnie did a review of the camera back in 2017 – link here. The X-E3 has 24.3MP APS-C Sensor and it can record 4K UHD video with up to 30fps (100Mbps). It further has 2.36m-dot electronic viewfinder and 3.0″ 1.04m-dot touchscreen LCD. It does not have flat gamma curve picture profile, but it has FUJIFILM film simulation profiles for photos and videos.

As part of this discounted set you will also get the FUJIFILM XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS lens, 32GB Sandisk Extreme SDHC memory card and Ruggard Hunter 25 DSLR holster-style camera bag.
