Hello.
I put the order a few weeks ago, I have a ver bad case of anxiousness... I bought the camera separate from the body, and now they offered in Amazon US with a $99 minus. I just chat with them and they approve the discount.
so, Scored.
SO EXCITED.
Sorry I will post photos from the camera.
As a great thing to do for their customers? - yeah I'd agree.
As a sensible business decision and valid use of technical resources that could be used on the X-Pro2?........ errr not so much
The very fact Fuji are making this kind of fundemental change to the X-T1 via firmware and not tied to a model refresh is utterly astounding. Quite apart from the quality of the cameras and lenses, this attitude on Fuji's part is one of the major reasons I so happy with Fuji. The issue of "version anxiety", where you don't know if you should buy now or wait for the next version to come out, just isn't such a problem with Fuji. The camera you buy today will become the next verison, just refreshed with a firmware update.
