Now, far be it from me to try to joggle a company’s elbow when it’s trying to convince people to pre-order a two hundred buck camera. You gotta hustle, in this gig economy. But the same impulse that drives that company’s desire for sweet, sweet lucre also forces me to note that Fuji will sell you the same thing for sixty, more or less. Only with fewer breakable parts.

I mention that last bit because ‘spring-loaded mechanism’ and ‘places serving alcohol’ absolutely do not mix well, if you’ll pardon the pun there. And even if you won’t.

…No.
