Amazon Prime Day in October is bringing fantastic deals for astrophotographers and we have spotted an amazing anti-Prime deal on the Fujifilm X-T5. Walmart is offering the X-T5 bundled with the versatile XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 lens for just $2260 — a saving of $140 on the original $2400 price and cheaper than Amazon.

You can get the Fujifilm X-T5 with the XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR lens on sale right now at Walmart for $2260.

We gave the Fujifilm X-T5 four stars in our review thanks to its incredible 40MP sensor and compact size. The XF 16-50mm lens is an excellent kit lens too, offering a good focal length range and a fast f/2.8 aperture, perfect for capturing nightscapes and deep-space treasures like nebulas and star clusters.

Save a huge $140 on the powerful and highly portable Fujifilm X-T5. The camera's 40MP sensor provides exceptional detail for capturing constellations and deep space objects.

We rated the Fujifilm X-T5 four stars in our review. Its combination of high-resolution, good low-light performance and classic retro controls makes it a joy to use for all kinds of photography.


In our full Fujifilm X-T5 review, we praised the high-resolution sensor and its ability to produce stunning images straight out of the camera. It's by no means an astrophotography specialist but it can take amazing photos of the stars as well as some deep space objects with the right glass.

The Fujifilm X-T50 has the same 40MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor as the X-T5 and we managed to capture a range of constellations and deep space targets, such as the Orion Nebula (M42). While some astrophotographers swear by a full-frame camera, we found amazing results with this small but mighty APS-C sensor.
