Shipping February 28 (theoretically): Fuji X100 VI for $1600

UPDATE 2/29/24: the Adorama estimated availability date has jumped to June 1st (2024) for both color options! Patience, once again, is a virtue 🙂

The promised release date is coming, February 28 in 2024 is when the Fuji X100 VI is expected to start shipping! It is available in two color schemes, and goes for $1600. Check the latest availability updates at B&H Photo and Adorama.

PS: the situation is rather confused at Amazon as of the time of writing.

PS2: as you can see at KEH Camera, prices of previous X100 models seem to be holding up rather well all things considered.

PS3: as Wikipedia reminds us, the Fuji X100 series began with a showcase at Photokina 2010.

PS4: if you want a refresher (or a ..fresher) on the X100 VI, here’s the dpreview initial review by …the lead singer of the Psychadelic Furs (!?!?!) 🙂

Batteries (mostly single-use) participate in Amazon $60+/$15 promotion

It’s SPRING somewhere, and Amazon has launched a Spring Cleaning promotion: spend $60+ on select participating household products (Pink, Scott, Windex, Ecos, Cottonele, Snuggle, Hefty, Clorox, etc) and receive a $15 Amazon Credit using promo code STOCKUPSAVE (one word) over there. Their shopping cart is the ultimate decider on what qualifies.

Also part of the promotion are single-use batteries from Duracell, Rayovac, Energizer and Amazon Basics. Not just the usual sizes but also some of the button-y types, along with the Duracell Ion Speed 1000 bundle that includes a 4-slot charger, 6 AA and 2 AAA pre-charged rechargeables for $28. This is the very last item in the vertical strip of batteries in the promotional page. You can click left on the vertical strip arrows to get to it quickly.

NOTE that when you click on the Ion Speed in the vertical strip, Amazon takes you to a different option than the one shown. You may want to try “add to cart” directly from the strip to make sure you get the one that is eligible for the promotion. OR just play with them and see what the shopping cart tells you.

NOTE also that there are TWO vertical strips of batteries. You can use your browser’s search function to look for “batteries” to find them. The two vertical strips are adjacent.

Remember, the $60+ minimum can be reached by any combination of eligible products. For example, you could buy three Ion Speed 1000 bundles ($28 each).
