Used Fuji X-T1 body with EF-X8 Flash for $379

IF you are looking for a budget entry but with an advanced camera in the Fuji X System, currently KEH Camera is offering the Fuji X-T1 body only with the EF-X8 flash, together bundled for $379 in “EX” condition and with a 180-day warranty. This is the black color scheme, not the graphite.

IF you prefer a new condition without a warranty, Massdrop is offering the X-T1 body only without the EF-X8 flash, for $500.

Needless to say, Fuji has unleashed a number of X-system cameras, so there are many choices out there, enough to give you a three tylenol headache 😉

PS: if you haven’t visited KEH recently, they have remodeled/modernized their web user interface…

Samsung EVO Select microSDXC cards: 64GB for $11, 128GB for $21, 256GB for $48

According to the internets, the “EVO Select” is an Amazon-exclusive brand of Samsung memory cards, giving Amazon the flexibility to play with the price without being beholden to the MAP situation of the “EVO Plus” cards…

… which brings us to the 256GB Samsung EVO Select microSDXC card (U3, UHS-I, with SD adapter) going for $48 with free US shipping. Limit one per customer at the sale price. It is not a lightning deal…

60% off Stacksocial courses with coupon

For a limited time, coupon code PREZDAY60 gets you a 60% off discount on classes and courses at the Stacksocial website. The physical goods (eg consumer electronics) are NOT eligible for the coupon for obvious reasons. If you are not sure whether something would qualify, their shopping cart is the ultimate decider. I believe a Stacksocial account is needed to test the coupon in their shopping cart.

For physical goods and such, coupon code PREZDAY15 gets you 15% off those eligible products. Again, their shopping cart is the ultimate decider…
