Stock Update: Fuji X-T2 goes IN and OUT, Everything Else In-Stock

The Stock Status Tracker has just been updated. There was one Fuji X-T2 when I did the update, but by the time I wrote an alert-post here, it got scooped up (for reference, this is the now sold-out listing).

For some reason PopFlash lists their X-T2 cameras one at a time instead of all of them at once, so they may list more (if they have more). This pre-filled eBay search query searches for Fujifilm Cameras only in their eBay store.

Price-wise this kit is the same as buying the items separately, the X-T2 body only goes for $1600 on its own, while the VPB-XT2 Battery Grip goes for $329 on its own. The only difference is that they charge shipping and handling.

(ENDED) Wednesday: Ikigai Medium Rival Backpack with Camera Cell for $100 (Medium) or $130 (Large)

Refurbished Nikon D7200 with 18-55 & 55-200 (both DX VR) for $850

The Nikon D7200 body goes for $1050 in new condition at authorized dealers which are bundling it with free accessories (eg Adorama). But if you are comfortable with manufacturer-refurbished and can find use for the two DX VR kit lenses (eg use them or bundle them with older DSLRs as gifts for friends and family – the Holidays are just around the corner after all), then…

… among the latest eBay Deals, the Beach Camera eBay store is offering the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D7200 Two-Lens Kit with the 18-55 and 55-200 (both DX VR lenses) for $850 with free shipping and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty. All items are refurbished. Limit five per customer and over 420 units have been sold so far from this listing per the page over there.

(ENDED) Ends 11:59pm ET: Panasonic K-KJ17MC124A Eneloop Power Pack for $46

This daily deal expired: Good until 11:59pm ET tonight (or earlier if sold out), you can get the Panasonic K-KJ17MC124A Eneloop Power Pack for 12AA, 4AAA, 2 C Spacers, 2 D Spacers, Advanced Individual Battery Charger for $46. The price before the sale was $55 last night. Non-Prime members can buy this starting at 8:30pm ET.

An alternative, not a lightning deal, is this other Panasonic KJ17MCC82A Eneloop Power Pack for 8AA, 2AAA, 2 C Spacers, 2 D Spacers, Advanced Individual Battery Charger which goes for $37.11.

Both have the CC17 4-slot charger (see pictures #2 of each gallery there, the back of the Eneloop case). As far as I can tell, the difference between the two kits is 4 AA and 2 AAA batteries

Payment News: PayPal will soon allow Credit Cards as Default Payment Method

PayPal’s favorability ratings are probably in the cable company and politician levels, and with an avalanche of alternative payment methods, they are finally doing the unthinkable. Starting at some point next month, you will be able to set your default payment method to anything you want, you won’t be forced to use a debit card. That’s right a *GASP* credit card. It only took them 20 years to “discover” this feature 🙂 The feature will roll out at different times throughout the world. More details via CNet News.
