64GB Sandisk USB 3.0 Flash Drive with microUSB Connector for $18~

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.

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…
