Hello there,
I went to a local camera store with a printed email (I had inquired about the prices and got some decent discounts) to buy a Sony A7r2 with 1 or 2 small lenses. Heavy heart accompanied me as the thought of spending a lot while still being invested in my m43 gear rambled in my mind. Nonetheless, I was ready to walk in and get it but then... the shop assistant says to me "Would you like to look at some of our current promotions on Fuji gear?" I looked at him with a brief moment of hesitation that surely showed an internal struggle and then... I agreed. Ugh. So... Here's the deal:
1. Fuji X-T20 body - $950 (still, quite high, compared to B&H prices)
Promotion prices + Free 16GB card + Self-redeem battery + 16GB card + Sirui Bag + 1 x Print voucher + Instax Mini 25 Hello Kitty Camera + Dry Box + Tripod valid till 31 December 2017
2. Fuji X-T2 body - $1675
Free 16GB card + Self-redeem battery + 16GB card + BLC-XT2 + 1x Print voucher + VPB-XT2 + Dry Box valid till 31 December 2017
I really don't know what to do now. I was going there with the intention of buying a FF camera and left with a lot of mixed thoughts... Told them I had to (re)think everything. I used to own X-T1 and even though I loved the manual controls/dials and the overall feel of the body and lenses, I wasn't happy with the image quality (foliage was really mushy) so I'm not sure if going back to Fuji is a smart choice. On the other hand, I hear that the new sensor is a major improvement.
Anyway, if anyone wants to comment on my stream-of-consciousness-kind-of-rant, please do. Cheers.
