I didn't read it that way, but that makes perfect sense. I don't really see another way they can sell it for less than $1k as the article indicated.

Congratulations on shipping. That's the hardest part.

Very clever on Amazon links in reddit being the source of truth. That will obviously leave a lot on the table, but gives you really reliable parsing.

Honestly, this is a great site. I'd keep it simple, but you could definitely expand on the styling a little bit.

Great work!

Up voted as well. I just purchased an a6500 after quite the back and forth with myself.

Fuji actually uses Sony sensors. So the XPro2 / XT2 has the exact same sensor as a a6300 and a6500. So on paper, the Sony have a lot more going for them in terms of price to features. It should be really interesting to see what kind of pressure that puts on them.

That's not to say that the Sony's are better cameras. Fuji has a great glass selection, has arguably better ergonomics, but is also slightly larger and heavier. Fuji is a great camera company no doubt.

Overall, in the APS-C format, the offerings are pretty comparable across a wide range of price points.

Edit: Sony does not have the exact same sensor as the Fuji. Fuji's X-Trans sensor doesn't use a Bayer array. But Fuji's sensor is made by Sony.

Pickens Plan actually did invest in huge wind farms. Not sure about in Texas, but Oklahoma is littered with his windmills.

No experience with their laptops. I can speak to their customer service, and it is absolutely fantastic. If you find a machine that works for you, I could not recommend them as a company more.

Thanks. Yep, I only check a hash of an email address and associate what information was leaked in the data set.

I appreciate the comment because it shows how unclear it is. A lot of clarification copy / work is needed.
