Prices and Availability
Please note the prices mentioned above are snapshots as of the time of writing and they are not updated automatically!
For items generally available as new-in-box, we did not include items where the refurbished prices are too close to the new-in-box prices.
If you are wondering why we only have refurbished posts for Nikon, Canon and Olympus, it is because there aren't any refurbished cameras of interest from other manufacturers currently available there (if we missed any, please let us know!)

We have a heads-up alert for the shopping week of August 1-7 at Staples brick and mortar stores. You can get a 100-pack of Kodak 4x6 Premium Photo Paper (Gloss) for $1 after a $13 EasyRebate. EasyRebates can be submitted online using information from your cash register receipt. You do not need to cut UPC codes or mail anything in. This special is only good for brick and mortar stores, not the Staples website or phone ordering.
You pay $14 + tax in-store. The cash register will print your regular receipt as well as a rebate receipt. Then when you are on your computer, you visit the Staples Easy Rebates website and enter the relevant information from your receipt on their website and follow the prompts all the way through until your rebate is submitted. Then wait for a few weeks, and you will receive a postcard-check in the mail for $13. The sales tax is not refunded - as it is the case with almost all rebates.
You can buy either one 100-pack or two 100-packs. It is your choice. If you buy two, you pay $28 + tax in-store, and a few weeks later you will receive $26 in a postcard-check.
You can find out if this promotion will be available at your local Staples store(s) by checking the "Upcoming Week" of the Staples Weekly Ad page - it is always featured on the home page of Staples.com.
The competition in the market, along perhaps with the less than stellar reviews received are pushing the prices of the Panasonic ZS7 (TZ10) down faster than usual. You can now get it for as low as $280 depending on body-color. Usually the flagship TZ-series model drops to around $230-$240 by CES/PMA of the following year. So here are the latest prices:
+ Black ZS7/TZ10 for $280 at B&H Photo, Amazon
+ Blue ZS7/TZ10 for $280 at B&H Photo and Amazon
+ Red ZS7/TZ10 for $280 at Amazon
+ please note prices change often and this blog-post is not updated automatically

Amazon has just announced two new 6-inch Kindles, and they are both available for pre-order - the 6-inch Wifi + 3G model goes for $189 while the 6-inch Wifi-only model goes for $139. They will begin shipping on August 27, exactly one month from today. Below you will find the differences between the current and previous generations according to Amazon:
Competition is putting pressure on prices, especially on pre-2010 cameras, so if you are a fan of the Olympus E-P1, we have some good news for you. Adorama is offering the Olympus E-P1 + 17mm f2.8 + VF1 OVF for $600 with free shipping and handling. If you have Amazon gift cards to spend, you can also get it thru Amazon.
The Canon T1i two-lens kit is alive again and for around $730 it continues to be a bang-for-the-buck deal for photographers interested in the Canon Digital Rebels. Here is the latest situation:
+ Add T1i w/18-55 and 55-250mm EF-S IS to your shopping cart
+ proceed to the Amazon Checkout page
+ enter coupon code 5525OJUL to take $200 off (notice the new coupon code!)
+ $699 + $230 - $200 = $729
+ adjust shipping to your liking
Please also note that the T1i qualifies for the Canon Pixma Pro 9000 or 9500 (Mark II) printer mail-in rebates, in addition to the above instant rebate. You can see all qualifying Canon printers and DSLRs. The T1i body only qualifies for the printer mail-in rebates, but does not qualify for the 55-250mm instant rebate (we don't make the rules, please yell at Canon instead :)
As usual, please note that prices and availability are not updated automatically in this blog-post and they are a snapshot as of the time of writing unless otherwise indicated. If you don't see the discount after you enter the coupon code, it means there is something wrong. You cannot fix it later - do not proceed!
If you are interested in red cameras, with backlit CMOS sensors and the Canon Elph name, then you will be thrilled to know that the red Canon SD4000 IS has dropped to $299, sold and shipped by Amazon itself. The discount is only for the red model. Please also note that prices and availability for popular cameras like this change often and this blog-post is not updated automatically when something changes.
The Panasonic GF1 with the 20mm pancake lens dropped to $725 at Amazon a few days ago, but then jumped up to its normal $780 "trading range". Now it's down to $725 again, this time it is offered at this price by Adorama (add to cart to see this price) and also J&R World.
If you have Amazon gift cards to spend, you can also buy it at this price thru Amazon.
UPDATE (Wedn July 28 at 3:08pm EST): The J&R website shows sold-out, but the item is still shown as available through Amazon. It is possible that the item has sold out but the Amazon page has not been updated yet, so YMMV...
J&R World is offering 16GB Lexar Platinum II 80x CompactFlash Memory Cards for $30 plus shipping, which appears to be around $3. There is no rebate to submit. Please note this is an 80X card, so don't expect it to be a speed-demon! If you have Amazon gift cards waiting to be spent, you can also get it from J&R via Amazon for the same price.
Panasonic has just announced their first camcorder stick to compete with the Cisco Pure Digital Flip, the Sony Bloggie, and such, and already it is available for pre-order at Amazon for $170, in your choice of red, purple or dark grey, with an estimated August 17 release date.
Tigerdirect has free shipping specials on select items, including processors, computer accessories, graphics cards, and other tech items you expect to find at Tigerdirect. Prices range from $10 to $1000. Only the items shown on the aforelinked page get free shipping, not everything they sell!
