64GB Sandisk USB 3.0 Flash Drive with microUSB Connector for $18~
Not to be outdone by Samsung, Sandisk now has a lower price on their dual-connector 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive. One side is a full size USB 3.0 port, the other side is a micro-USB port for use with mobile devices that support USB On The Go (USB Host). The full USB 3.0 side can be used by any device (PCs, laptops, etc) that support USB drives. This currently goes for $18~ with a limit of five per customer at Amazon by Amazon itself. It “defeats” the other options in its line-up (16GB to 128GB) in terms of $/GB. It is model SDDD2-064G-G46. It can be quite handy, especially if your phone does not have a microSD slot. The usual free shipping terms apply (Prime or $35+ order).
Pre-order Fuji X-E2S body for $700 (or w/18-55 for $1000)
The camera upgrade cycle continues with Fuji revealing an “S” version of the Fuji X-E2, the new X-E2S. I am not sure why companies keep insisting on using a final “s” in model name because that’s confusing both in terms of plural and possessive. But camera manufacturers are not under the juristiction of the Grammar Police, so they can get away with it 🙂 The X-E2S is available for pre-order in two options (body only for $700 or with the 18-55mm f2.8-4 R LM OIS for $1000), in either black or silver-black color schemes. Accepting pre-orders for these four combinations right now are Adorama and B&H Photo and Amazon by Amazon itself… This too has been added to the e Interesting Cameras and Lenses of 2016 Tracking page…
Pre-order new Fuji X70 Big Sensor Prime for $800
With sensor prices dropping, it was only a matter of time before the Fuji RAWsumer line-up below the X100 got “upgraded” to the APS-C sensor size. And it just happened, the new X70 has a 16mp APS-C X-Trans CMOS II sensor with a 18.5mm f2.8 lens (28~mm eq~) and a starting price of $800. It is available for pre-order as follows:
+ black: B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon by Amazon itself
+ silver-black: B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon by Amazon itself

Pre-order Fuji XF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 R OIS WR for $1900
It’s the year of 100-400mm lenses so far 🙂 Fuji too has one coming in about a month, the Fujifilm XF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 R OIS WR LM is now available for pre-order for $1900 at Amazon by Amazon itself and B&H Photo and Adorama… Why give your Valentine disposable roses and chocolate when you can instead get them a zoom lens that keeps on giving? 🙂
