For anyone interested I bought one of these about this time last year. Can't recall the price but I bought the body only and then set prices on eBay to get the lenes that other people, having bought these types of kits, where getting rid of.
In fact the kits lenses are not to bad but the real quality are the XF range. I managed to get the 27mm for £90 and the 50-230mm XC lens for £120 I think. But the real fun is in using vintage lenses, then then I've managed to collect over 20 vintage lens for between £5 and £15 :-)

Op wouldn't this be £369.01 after TCB? As it would be 10% at 499.99

I believe Currys only pay cashback after vat has been deducted, which is where the £375 comes from. Could be wrong though.

The 35mm f2 is a phenonimal lens to accompany this. In fact I have the 18mm, 55-200 and 18-55 and the 35mm is the one that remains firmly on.

Exactly right. Also, don't expect Currys to honour the cashback. I purchased a TV from them via TCB and should have received £35 cashback, only to receive £10! Just a bonus whatever you get in cashback.

I would complain to Quidco if they didn't pay the amount stated by Quidco. They've have been good enough to made up the difference themselves when the seller hasn't paid up in the past. Take a screenshot of the offer on Quidco. It doesn't mention anything about tracking at a lower rate initially as the do sometimes.

Yeah, I have great customer service from Quidco with things like this but unfortunately this issue was with TopCashBack and they were utterly hopeless. Don't use them now!

Still love my Fuji X10, but I'd love to upgrade! Great cameras, but lenses are expensive.

Amazing cameras! The quality of photos is unreal with mine! Lenses are very expensive however, but great quality! Would buy a newer model of Fuji any day - totally underrated in my opinion!

At the bottom of the quidco cashback page, it says
"Cashback will not be paid in conjunction with any other offer, voucher or discount code unless listed on this page, or with any other discounts such as staff or student discounts"
So i am not sure if Currys will approve the quidco cashback.

Kit lens isn't much cop. XF lenses, on the other hand are awesome... but expensive.
Get the XF18-55,16, 23 and the 10-24, they're class.

Kits lenses on other makes might not be too much cop but Fujifilm lens are well above standard kit lens of others. It's only the construction that is different from the OC to FX lenses the glass is the same.

No stock in stores anywhere within a 200 mile radius of Aberdeen makes this a sad deal for anyone wanting one of these up here.
They also out of stock on the black only body completely. I suspect they are out of stock of silver ones too (but there's one lying in a stock room somewhere in the UK so it still shows there's a glimmer of hope for stock) which there ain't. Think I'll wait for Friday for park cameras or jessops etc to do a deal.

Doesn't change the quality images, but the camera is discontinued. New Fujifilm X-T20 coming down the pipe next year, according to fujirumours
Thats like how I got my XM-1 at the end of 2013, Fuji cashback (via the usual claim) and £100 credit from Amazon at the time, so when the Fuji cashback was paid out, bought the 35mm f1.4 from Amazon - so effectively £200 off, and then even got cashback on that lens! THIS WAS IN 2013 THOUGH, before anybody gets their knickers in a twist .... !

That's interesting:
DOUBLE CASHBACK
7. To qualify for Double Cashback, a qualifying camera, camera kit or lens must be
purchased between 25th November 2016 and 1st December 2016
I have just bought a Panasonic GX80 for £399 after cashback. If this drops to £499 again the double cashback would bring this down to £339 which is a great price.
I had the original 16-50 kit and thought it was pretty average, compared to my XF18-55 the colours / sharpness and obviously aperture were noticeably inferior. It's alright, not much better than the Sony kit from my experience, definitely no better than the EOS-M Canon kit.

Hmm, it mentions up to £125 cashback on the Amazon site, nothing about up to £160 (ie 2 x £80).

You do get variation within a range of all lenses and camera's. People were saying I was mad to sell my Nikon stuff for Fujifilm. But as far as the results are concerned it was a great success. Yet I continue to see stunning images from the same Nikon setup I sold. I put that down to me or a poor one off. It's just the way it is, but in general the fujifilm lenses come out well with people I've found.

I have just bought a Panasonic GX80 for £399 after cashback. If this drops to £499 again the double cashback would bring this down to £339 which is a great price.
From any of these qualifying retailers: https://www.fujifilm.eu/uk/products/digital-cameras/x-series-specialists
The challenge now is to find someone knocking £50 off like Currys did.
"Plus, claim DOUBLE cashback on the below products on purchases made between 25th November 2016 and 1st December 2016."
https://fuji-promotions.com/gb/en/pages/cb-0616/qualifying
Looks like the double cashback is for the lens, AND in order to double that, you have to buy a camera?
This is the current one..
https://fuji-promotions.com/gb/en/pages/cb-1016/qualifying
The Double cashback is only available for purchases made directly from Amazon and only between 25th Nov and 1st Dec.

I might stick with the GX80 I'll end up paying £399 for. I'd need to find the Fuji at sub £500 to make it worthwhile before cash back.
