But at the same/similar price I’d go for Samsuck 🙂
UPDATE: this post is getting long but for post economy [I don’t want to post a whole new post for a one-liner], NewEGG is currently running another variant of their Semi-Annual Clearance sale. Cameras are “hiding” under Electronics and it’s just one page, mostly the “camera with accessories” bundles…
The current Adorama daily deal is of interest to select Sony full frame E-system photographers, namely a7R III & a9 shooters, because this Gitzo Aluminum L-Bracket is made for them and it is on sale for $100 with free US shipping until Monday at 10am eastern [or earlier if sold out]… It comes with a 2-year warranty but optionally you can get extended to a 5-year warranty by registering the product online…

As usual, these are printed magazines, to USA addresses only, no auto-renewal. You can get new subscriptions or renewals or gift subscriptions. Duration goes from 1 to 3-4 years, adjustable per individual magazine. The sales typically end Monday night if I recall correctly…
Big sales are happening right now at Creative LIVE. They have a sale on all their photography classes with 940+ options, their Photoshop tutorials (220+ classes!!!), and their Catalog in general (1800+ classes). Obviously too many to list here individually 🙂
But wait, there’s more! For all you gearheads or gear-learners, the sale includes their Fast Start Camera Guides with John Greengo. Each class goes for $8 and it includes all-star cameras like the Canon 5D Mark IV, Fuji X-T3, Nikon D850, the Canon and Nikon mirrorless full-framers, Sony’s a-full-framers, and many and more cameras of different makes including some Olympus and Panasonic and Leica…

Canon photographers have their class on sale for $14 as well, Canon Lenses – The Complete Guide also with John Greengo. The Canon class lasts about ten minutes longer than the Nikon class 🙂
The only other company that has a lens guide is the Olympus Lens Guide which goes for $8 BUT it only lasts for 2 hours and 20 minutes.
If you prefer to spend exactly $0 but want to listen and watch and learn about photography and other related creative fields, CreativeLIVE continues with their ON-AIR free-streaming classes.

It’s another day, and it’s another Adorama daily deal which uses a different cycle, it changes at 10am eastern every time, so those working eastern time you have something to look forward to on your mid-day break and those working pacific time you have another reason to wake up early? 🙂
Anyway the current offer is the new condition SpiderHolster SpiderPro Hand Strap offered for $65 with free US shipping. Trigger warning for the repeated use of the word spider for the arachnopobia crowd!
CORRECTED: the B&H daily deals link has been corrected. Thanks to one of our readers for the email alert! If you are wondering why this is happening, it is a case of the “sticky cut and paste” ~ I think I copied the new link but for some reason the copy failed (typically I hit the wrong letter or control key) and whatever was previously in the cut/paste buffer remains. And if I don’t check/notice it, then it gets posted. Then on following days, I copied the previous day’s link, so it starts propagating…
And just like that, Wednesday is here again and with-it it-brings six new B&H daily deals good until 11:59pm ET (or earlier if sold out):
+ four Sandisk Extreme (three SD and one CFast 2.0) memory cards (some PRO) and one UHS-I SD card reader, discounted further automatically in the shopping cart

+ Monday: “food photography” with Penny De Los Santos [fun class from the parts I watched the previous time it aired], on being an artist, scrapbooking, graphic design, etc
