Fuji X-T2 body only drops to $1579 and in-stock
I just updated the Stock Status Tracker after the CES 2017 madness and we have double good news for Fuji X-T2 hunters!
The X-T2 body only is not only in-stock but slightly discounted, you can get it for $1579 with free shipping by Cardinal Photo on Amazon (in-stock but slow shipping – it’s not Prime eligible) or by Amazon itself (2-5 weeks).
The X-T2 body only is also in-stock for $1600 at Adorama and B&H Photo.
PS: make sure you read the post above this one before buying, there is a new X-T2 bundle offer out now, X-T2 body plus official Fuji Battery Grip and Extras for $1700…

YMMV (AMEX Offers): Spend $250+ at Adorama, Get $25 Statement Credit
If you have an American Express credit card, run to your account and look under the “Amex Offers and Benefits” section. You may be eligible for an offer to spend $250+ at Adorama, and receive a $25 statement credit on your American Express credit card. You have to pay with the credit card you register for this promotion. All you have to do is click the “Add to Card” button to add the offer to your AMEX account.
IMPORTANT: the promotion runs until 2/27/17 after you add the offer to your AMEX credit card. However, it is best to add it to your AMEX account as soon as possible, because AMEX often has a limited number of promotions available, and once that preset limit is reached, new people may not be able to “Add to Card”. However, once you “Add to Card” you have until 2/27/17 to use it – it won’t disappear after you press “Add to Card”.
See larger version of the screenshot below…
CAUTION: if you have multiple AMEX credit cards on the same AMEX login account, make sure you are looking at the correct credit card and activating the offer on the correct card. You have to pay with the exact credit card you activated the offer on, otherwise you won’t get the bonus.
AMEX is usually pretty good at sending email confirmations once you make a qualifying purchase that will get you the statement credit bonus.

Shutterbug (Febr 2017) included in Prime Reading Magazines
If you are a Prime member, you automatically have the new “Prime Reading” benefit where you can borrow e-books or digital magazines from a preset selection. Among the magazines, the January 2017 selection includes the February 2017 edition of Shutterbug, along with the February 2017 issue of Consumer Reports, and a handful of other degrees-of-separation magazines (sports, fashion, nature, etc). You are borrowing these, you do not digitally-own them, but you can keep them as long as you like. Each one counts as one of your “ten out”. It’s like a library where you can have up to ten items out at any time, but you can return them and get new ones as many times as you want. You cannot read these on a desktop PC, either the Kindle apps (iOS, Android) or Amazon’s own hardware devices (Fire tablets or The Fire Phone).
