XT2 in stock?


EvolutionX

Recommended Posts

I ordered the XT2 with grip and kit lens last month from B&H. I know it is back ordered but wondering if anybody out there has any "inside info" as to when Fuji will start shipping them again? 

 

When I ordered it is said 7-14 days. I talked to them at about the 21 day mark and they said probably about the the middle of Feb. Then I asked again a few days ago and this time they said they don't know. I was aware of the backorder when I ordered it so I am not upset or anything, just more out of curiosity because waiting sucks!

 

Thank you

I'm still waiting on my order - X-T2 Body, 18-55, Battery Grip - that I ordered on January 25. I chatted online with B&H yesterday, and they think mine will ship early next week as they're expecting the next shipment of X-T2s on Monday the 27th.

 

I was also searching online over the weekend and found someone who just had just received their X-T2 from B&H at the end of the week. They had ordered from B&H on January 6.

Oh Cool, I just checked, I actually ordered mine on the 26th of January so maybe I will get mine at the same time. I also ordered the 35mm f2 with it. Seemed like a good deal getting it all together. 

 

Thanks for the info

I got an email yesterday that Amazon has them in stock. Figured if they are getting them B&H might. Chatted B&H online and they said they will have them today and ship them tomorrow. Hopefully that actually happens. If they get them out by Tuesdays I can usually get them by Friday in CA.

Yea I just contacted them again. They said they didn't receive them. 

 

As far as Amazon, I don't think they offer the kit with the vertical grip. They also got down on their knees for CA and started adding taxes on everything.

 

It could be that B&H is actually receiving them but not enough to fill the orders they have.

 

Actually Amazon doesn't have them. I just checked.

I must be missing something.  I've had my X-T2 since October 2016.  Amazon has them in stock.  What's the big deal?

 

And I got mine on the day it came out by walking into the camera store when they opened and asked that when the pre-orders are handed out today, would there be any extra that I can get one.  There was only one extra and I snagged that.  I was lucky.

 

I've been very surprised at how long these cameras have been back ordered.  They seem to show up in stores for all but a day, then sold out again.  The quantity being shipped to stores has to be very low.  

 

I can only guess it is because of that earthquake last year and the announcement that that the sensor manufacturing plants were months behind schedule due to the earthquake.

I think I was lucky - put in my order mid-January and got the camera February 8th. I know of another person who has had to wait way longer to get his.

 

It looks like the disconnect between supply and demand is loosening up now though, so hopefully folks in both Canada and the US will be able to get their hands on one soon.

Chatted with B&H again yesterday. They now have no date as to when the next shipment is coming in and the website has switched from 7-14 business days (already way past that) to just "backordered."

 

I've been holding on because I got the X-T2, 18-55, Grip deal for $1999.

 

My local camera store is out of stock, but should be getting some in this coming week. I don't want to miss out on the super-cheap grip, though I did save a bunch on lenses because of an educator rebate I'm eligible for through B&H. However, I've been told by the Mrs. that that just because I saved money on one thing, doesn't mean I get to spend it on another.

 

I also have a project I can't reschedule on March 15th, so I'm going to have to do something by next Monday.

If you are in a tight jam, you may be able to rent the gear you need to get through that March 15th commitment.  Personally I have never rented gear, but have heard good things from those that have used that service from time-to-time.

I have rented lenses in the past and have always been satisfied, Personally I am just going to hang in there. It's a good deal with the grip and lens. I am planing on moving to Vietnam at the end of the year so as long as I get it by then I am good. Hopefully a lot sooner though.

I'm trying to decide between renting an X-T2 and buying an X-T20 (that I would maybe buy anyway in the future). I won't need 4k for the project, but will probably film in 4k and downsize to 2k in post.

 

I looked at renting, and for how long I would want the camera it would be about $150 or so for an X-T2, charger. 

 

The X-T20 would be a great backup for travel and a good b-roll camera (I'm going to be making lots of training videos for work over the next few years). I'm also getting paid more than enough for this particular training to cover the cost of X-T20... (Now I think I'm trying to convince myself... but I'm going to try to hold out until at least Wednesday before making a decision.)

Well, I my new X-T20 came in today, but it's too small to be my main camera for very long. It will be a great camera for astro photos (once the clouds clear out), a great camera for the wife to use on vacation, and an excellent portable/back-up body.

 

Haven't tried the video yet, but should get to tomorrow.

 

I need to see if I can find a grip for this thing. On the plus side, this is a LOT of camera in a tiny package.

Adam, I'm not sure if this helps you but I called BH today and spoke with them about ordering a XT2 and was told that the next batch of XT2's was due in 3/20 and there were already over 100 backorders in the queue to ship before my (new) order would ship.  They were not able to tell me how many would be arriving in that batch.

  • 2 weeks later...

My order shipped today. Looks like they have everything showing in stock.

 

My order has a shipping label, and should be at my office tomorrow... I don't work Fridays, so it looks like I'm making an extra trip into the city this week, then going for a walk to test out the T2!

It's good to hear your orders are shipping. Hopefully mine will soon as well.

Hello, I'm new to this great forum and have been reading it for months.

I ordered my XT2 special offer with lens and battery grip for $1999 on February 10th from B&H Photo. It was on 7-14 shipping at the time I placed my order.

I'm still waiting to receive my order and/or shipping notification.

I've been given multiple dates as to when camera would ship, the latest was that a Feb. 23rd shipment would arrive.

I wish others who have commented, would say when and where they ordered their XT2.

What's going on Fujifilm?

    • It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.

    • I think my Fuji 150-600 F8 is a brilliant wildlife lens in terms of sharpness, portability and value but the small aperture does cause issues at the start and end of the day - even pushing the ISO as far as I dare, I can see shutter speed down to 1/25s - stabilisation isn't an issue but asking a deer to stand still for that is too much! In the same situation, an F4 would give 1/100s so the difference to the success rate would be phenomenal... and that's without the other improvements like shallower depth of field. I also find that the Fuji's subject detect AF gets pretty iffy in low light - I keep updating to the latest firmware but it doesn't seem to get any better. I was originally looking at the Nikon 500mm F4 E but good examples secondhand are still reasonably expensive but like-for-like Sigma lenses are around half the price. Reviews I have read suggest that they are as good optically, AF performance and IS-wise but you gain a few hundred grams of weight (but less than the older Nikon model). For a couple of grand, I can live with that. Does anyone have any experience mounting one on an XH2S? What about with the 1.4 teleconverter? It feels like that is pushing it anyway - hefty lens + TC + Fringer all sounds a bit...wobbly? It is on the Fringer approved list but I am wary about AF speed in particular. I had also considered looking for a used Nikon 400mm F2.8, which would be even faster (and heavier) and could couple with a TC to give 560mm F4 but again, it is that lens+TC+Fringer combination that worries me as being just too many links in the chain. Of course, what I really want is a native Fuji prime but that doesn't seem to be on the horizon - and if you look at what Nikon and Sony are doing, if Fuji do ever bring out a 500mm prime, it will probably be a small, light and cheapish F5.6, which is only 2/3 stop better than my zoom at the same focal length. Any thoughts anyone?
    • The Amazon link is an annoying feature of this forum - its automatic and is applied to every post for advertising purposes. My question was - how do you know the camera wi-fi is on and requires turning off? I would have thought this would just use up the battery for no purpose if you aren't specifically using a function that requires wi-fi.
