This is very strange because the US price of the black X100s is identical to the silver version (same price listed also at B&H and Adorama). Could it be that those are the prices for the body only? The global Fujifilm website lists the black X100s camera to be sold with the following accessories and if the US price is correct, you will be getting them basically for free:

PhaseOne IQ250 coming soon with a…. new 50MP CMOS sensor

PhaseOne-IQ250
There could be a reason for the "announcement of an announcement" Hasselblad did earlier today for their 50MP CMOS sensor based H5D-50c medium format camera: PhaseOne is going to announce their new IQ250 digital back (see screenshot above) that will have... a new 50MP CMOS sensor, 2 fps, 15 stops dynamic range and ISO up to 6400. The official PhaseOne announcement should happen this Friday and they will actually show a working camera (unless they decide to postpone it after Hasselblad's move).
