Disney and Fujifilm have collaborated to create a special edition camera. It’s a camera that’s proving to be almost impossible to buy right now, the Fujifilm X100V (buy here – well, try to). A promotional video posted by Support CHKP gives us a good look at the camera’s appearance.
Across the Special Edition X100V shown in the video, are a number of Disney logos alongside the number 100. These denote the 100th anniversary of Disney’s founding on October 16th, 1923. And it’s expected to start shipping at the end of this month.
The Disney Mickey and Friends Collection Fujifilm X100V (bit of a mouthful, huh?), went on pre-order in three stores in Japan on July 13th. It’s expected to start shipping on July 29th. Only 100 of them are being produced.
Unfortunately, that numerical theme does not pass on to the price. They’re not $100 each. They’re around $1,920 each. This is around $500 more expensive than the standard Fujifilm X100V.
Disney Fujifilm X100V – What’s in the box?
Before we even think inside the of the box, take a look at the box!
Each is purported to be a handmade wooden box with drawers, emblazoned on the front with the Disney logo, Mickey and the number 100. Inside it, though, you’ll get pretty much the standard Fujifilm X100V but with the Disney paint job. Each camera also has its serial number etched into its top plate.
Other than that, it appears to be the standard accessories and supplies that come with the standard X100V. Except, they have Disney 100 branding. Included is a thumb rest, camera strap and half-leather case.
