X-H2 hits the buy threshold: 5 deals (June 2)
Fujifilm X-H2 dropped $140 overnight to $1,509 — exactly the buy threshold. Five picks: X-H2 ($1,509), Nikon Z5 ($529 Day 10+ final window, 23 units left), Sony FE 50/1.8 ($117 new ATL), Nikon Z 28mm f/2.8 ($154 new ATL), Fujifilm X-T4 ($1,029, 8 units, sell-out countdown).

System weather: Fujifilm X drops deepest, Z5 entering final window
Fujifilm X is running the deepest system-wide drop today. The X-H2 shed $140 overnight to land at $1,509 — the threshold this radar has been tracking as the X-H2 buy point. The X-T4 meanwhile is down to 8 units and selling at roughly one per session. On the Nikon Z side, the Z 28mm f/2.8 fell $35 to a new all-time low at $154, and the Z5 at $529 is Day 10+ with 23 units and two selling per day — a closing window.

1. Fujifilm X-H2 — $1,509 at MPB
6-month range: $1,509–$1,799 (today establishes the new floor). Down $140 (−8.5%) from yesterday's $1,649. Inventory: 25 units. 1
The X-H2 is Fujifilm's 40.2MP APS-C flagship — deep grip, 7-stop IBIS, weather sealing, 6.2K 30p video. New price is around $1,999, making $1,509 a 24% discount. The $140 single-session drop and the inventory tick from 24 → 25 units both suggest a repriced batch arriving simultaneously, not a slow market grind. Grade for the floor unit is not confirmed in the first-page listings (per-SKU details not rendered at the aggregate view level). The X-H2's shutter is rated 150,000 actuations — request the specific SKU count before ordering; expect Excellent or Good condition, not Like New.
No model-level red flags. The body runs large for X-mount — closer to Sony A7-series dimensions than the X-T line.
Buy verdict: High-confidence buy. $1,509 is the exact entry threshold this radar flagged. Twenty-five units with healthy inventory and the largest single-session drop of the week. If you're X-mount or considering the system, today is the day.
Pair it with: Fujifilm XF 35mm f/2 R WR at $269 (63 units) 2 — $1,778 total for a 40MP weather-sealed kit. Prefer faster glass? XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR is at $414 (34 units). 3
2. Nikon Z5 — $529 at MPB
6-month range: $529–$769. Day 10+ at the all-time low floor. Two units sold in the past 24 hours (25 → 23 remaining). 4
The Z5 remains the cheapest full-frame mirrorless body on MPB's platform — $529 against a ~$1,000 new price (47% off). Floor units are Excellent grade with shutter counts in the 30,000–40,000 range, under 20% of the 200,000-rated lifespan. Two units per day at 23 remaining gives roughly 11 days on current pace, likely shorter as attrition accelerates. The Z5 lacks a top LCD and shoots 4K with a crop, but for still work at full-frame, neither matters.
Buy verdict: High-confidence buy, but the window is closing. Ten-plus days at the same floor with steady sell-through. If you've been watching, this is the last comfortable entry point.
Pair it with: Nikon Z 28mm f/2.8 at $154 (Pick 4) 5 — a $683 full-frame kit. Prefer a zoom? Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 at $169 (26 units). 6

3. Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 — $117 at MPB
6-month range: $117–$189 (today establishes the new floor). Down $25 (−17.6%) from yesterday's $142. 116 units in stock. 7
The FE 50mm f/1.8 is the entry-level native normal prime for Sony E-mount — internal focus, 50mm full-frame equivalent, aperture to f/22. New around $250. At $117 that's 53% off. First-page listings are all Like New at $179–$189; the $117 floor unit is further into the sort, meaning likely Excellent or Good condition. For a lens this small and light, barrel cosmetics are a non-issue — the optics (sharp from f/2.8, usable at f/1.8) and native AF are what matter. The stepping motor AF does click audibly during video; this is not a video-first lens. No known optical defects.
Buy verdict: High-confidence buy for any E-mount shooter without a 50mm prime. At $117 with 116 units, there is no urgency — but a lower floor than today is unlikely.
Pair it with: FE 85mm f/1.8 at $149 (50 units) 8 for a $266 two-prime portrait kit — both at ATL simultaneously.
4. Nikon Nikkor Z 28mm f/2.8 — $154 at MPB
6-month range: $154–$199 (new floor today). Down ~$35 (−18.5%) from yesterday's ~$189. 12 units at $154–$199. 5
The Z 28mm f/2.8 is Nikon's compact wide prime for Z-mount, covering full-frame with native AF. New at ~$300; at $154 that's 49% off. Eight Like New units show at $199 on the first page; the $154 floor unit is positions 9–12. Expect Excellent grade at the floor — cosmetically imperfect, optically fine. Consumer-tier optic with good central sharpness, some corner softness wide open. Not S-line, but for street, travel, and walk-around use it is the right spec. No known defect batches.
Buy verdict: High-confidence buy for Z-mount shooters building a budget kit. The cheapest native Z-mount full-frame prime on MPB today, and a natural companion for the Z5 at $529.
Pair it with: Nikon Z5 at $529 (Pick 2) for a $683 full-frame Z-mount kit. 4

5. Fujifilm X-T4 — $1,029 at MPB
6-month range: $1,029–$1,269. Eight units confirmed after yesterday's Cloudflare block cleared; down from 9 at prior count. 9
The X-T4 (26.1MP APS-C BSI, X-mount, first X-T body with IBIS, 4K 60p, articulating touchscreen) launched at ~$1,700 new. At $1,029 that's a 39% discount. With 8 units and one-per-session attrition, this page has less than two weeks of life at the current floor. Per-SKU grade and shutter counts are not rendered on the aggregate page view. The X-T4 shutter is rated 300,000 actuations — request count for your specific unit. No model-level defects.
One honest note: the X-T5 replaced the X-T4 in the lineup and bumped resolution to 40MP. If you want maximum X-mount resolution, the X-H2 at $1,509 (Pick 1) is $480 more for a newer, higher-spec body. The X-T4's case is the classic X-T form factor plus IBIS — a combination the X-T5 doesn't offer (the T5 dropped IBIS in exchange for the smaller body and 40MP sensor).
Buy verdict: Buy if you're X-mount. Wait if you're evaluating Fujifilm as a system entry — the X-H2 is the stronger long-term investment at $480 more. For existing X-mount shooters, 8 units at $1,029 is a closing door.
Pair it with: Fujifilm XF 35mm f/2 R WR at $269 (63 units) 2 — $1,298 total for a compact IBIS kit.
