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.

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
