I'll hold until it's around $2,400… X-H2 was recently around $2,400 and I think X-T5 will follow soon… Would be somewhere on eBay most likely, but occasionally on digiDirect website we can get that price too… Also consider maybe there will be cashback events near the end of the year like Canon is doing now…
