Thanks for your shipping information. I'm in the one day shipping zone as well.

I was just on the phone with B&H customer service. They told me they didn't receive the March. 23rd shipment and that no shipment was received. Couldn't tell me when they would receive another shipment. My customer service rep "Leon", then "called" the Fuji rep to see if he could get a shipment date. I don't believe that one.

Gibson you were so lucky. Spoke to B&H today, had a really good customer service person this time.

B&H received twenty units of the $1999 deal on March 22nd, and only covered some of the cameras that were ordered on January 25th. Everything ordered on Jan. 25 and later is still backordered, they have no shipment status from Fujifilm.

I just can't wait until May, June or July to get this setup. I'm really saddened by Fujifilms inability to fulfill orders and B&H waiting a full two weeks after I placed my order to place to make It an official "backorder".

I don't want to waste my money on an X-T1,even at $500 off.

 

Does anyone have a phone number for Fujifilm?

Fujifilm and every other camera manufacturer has no control over earthquakes and their impact on the limited sensor manufacturing facilities.  

 

This time around and at this point, it's looking like it set them back almost one year (to have adequate stock to fill orders and have product on shelves).

 

These critical electronic manufacturing facilities really need to invest in moving some of their facilities to other locations that are not at the #1 earthquake hot spots!

I feel your frustration and many of us do.  But I caution that before you go blaming a large, aggressively competitive global business on their poor business practices, you first ask the question 'why?'.

Weird. Walked into my local camera store last week and picked one up. Not sure why they had it, it's just a small store. 

 

That is how I got my XT2 on the release day last Sept.  I walked in when the store opened and asked if they had any extra after filling pre-orders.  They said the shipment would arrive in a couple hours and come back and see.  So I did that and sure enough, they had 1 XT2 that was not part of the pre-orders, so that one was mine.  I got lucky and being first paid off.  :)

I have been on a B&H wait list since early Feb. I called them on Tuesday and was told that some are coming in and are going out to those who have pre-ordered them. I was basically told to go ahead and place an order and wait. As soon as I got off the phone with B&H I called Cameta Camera. The Cameta salesman checked inventory and said they had gotten a few on Monday and I could get one. My camera shipped the next day. I got my X-T2 today and am eager to get it out this weekend and do some shooting.

  • 2 weeks later...

The status on my B&H order for the X-T2/18-55/grip deal finally shipped on 4/19. The status of the order finally changed to "in stock, sent to warehouse" on 4/9, the same day B&H closed for 10 days to observe Passover! The part I did not appreciate - they charged my card on 4/9, then closed and didn't ship until they opened on 4/19. Oh well, it's on the way and will be here in a few days.

I ordered mine from B&H on February 16th, and then was invoiced on April 20th.  Had it in my hot little hands on the 22nd!  It was an excruciating long time, but it was well worth the wait.  I had thought I would keep my Canon EOS t4i as a backup for the X-T2, but after receiving the camera, the 18-55mm, and the 55-200mm (bought from another source), I am blown away with the quality and now plan to sell the t4i so I can get some more glass!  Hopefully, most people out there are now receiving theirs!

    • 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.
