I'm still just absolutely astounded that someone on this thread construed purchasing an advertised deal as "stealing". I mean, I read the B&H site when this thread was first started and it clearly stated, "...bundle and save up to $1,800".

It looked completely legit and I'm wiling to bet that B&H believed it was legit when they wrote the text inviting you to save $1,800. I just thought it was a really nice deal that was running for whatever reason. Now maybe it's possible that Fuji and B&H weren't on the same wave length about how the deal was supposed to work. But still, why on earth would anyone's mind jump to, "this is stealing!"?

It really bothers me when people say things online that they would be unlikely to say in person to another human. Very few of us would imply that someone is a thief to their face, especially for something as innocuous as purchasing an advertised sale item. But somehow, that kind of discourse is tolerated (and sometime even praised) when done online.

Did BH offer the deal too?
