These were an Adorama daily deal. The daily deal ended but I forgot to check whether the price of these changed or not. Fast-forward to now, and I rechecked the price, and the price remains the sale price, or it went up and now it is down again ~ I do not know. What matters is that as of the time of writing, the sale price is alive and kicking… Since this is now an “organic sale”, and not a daily deal, I have no clue what will happen to it going forward…

Are you dying to try out the new full-frame L system? Do you like saving money with open-box but still want the 1-year warranty? Do you want a “take pictures with” kit, so you can start shooting as soon as the battery charges and not deal with adapters and hacks and workarounds and manual focus and test charts and pin alignments and existential soul searching?
Well, you’ve found the right post!
For $2399, B&H Photo is offering the open-box Panasonic S1 with S 24-105mm f4 Macro OIS with free US shipping and a 1-year warranty.
This is $100 lower than the price of the new condition S1 body-only, while the new condition S1 with 24-105 kit goes for $1000 more ($3500). So by going open-box, it’s like getting the 24-105 lens for free. The lens on its own goes for $1300 new condition or $1038 used.
A macro and stabilized lens with constant aperture and versatile zoom range! Competitive but pricey says DXoMark, better than the Canon L 24-105 but below the Shiguma ART. Since you are not paying $1300 for it stand-alone (or +$1000 for the kit), it’s not as pricey! Sign me up!
We are getting into LAST CALL territory, the Adorama daily deals that have the manufacturer refurbished Nikon Z5 full frame mirrorless ranging from $899 [body] to $1099 [w/20-50] to $1699 [w/24-200] ends on Thursday 4/15/21 at 10am eastern [or earlier if sold out]…
Power on with the Meh daily deals because it’s a “ZAGG-a-thon” (I know, TOO SOON after that NCAA Final) where they will be featuring throughout the day various things, sort of like a Meh-a-thon. The offers change every 30 minutes BUT you can also buy the previously offered offers [as long as they didn’t sell out] through their forum…
And so, Thursday, with a new set of B&H Photo daily deals good until 11:59pm ET (or earlier if sold out):
+ OnePlus 8 IN2019 128GB 5G UW Smartphone (Verizon Unlocked) for $399 in two color options

At the start of business today, Monday April 5 in 2021 [yes, tonight is the NCAA Basketball Championship game and on paper this should be an exciting game with fast-paced teams that actually practice offense, unlike the Big 10 where basketball is really an extension of their top rated wrestling programs mixed in with rebounding drills], we have the return of both Adorama and B&H Photo. Any orders you had previously placed in the last few days are/will-be getting processed and shipped! They are back, so if you had been needing things to buy, you can now place regularly-processed orders!
On an unrelated note, big news today in the world of smartphones, as suspected/predicted for a while now, LG is now officially out of the smartphone business. Their #3 spot in the USA market was a little bit misleading because a lot of their sales were budget and prepaid phones where profit margins are razor thin. This decision will likely produce some good to great deals on existing LG phones, but keep in mind OS updates and support and warranty and such are gonna be matters of concern. Details and discussion of this via Techmeme…

Also part of the Adorama dailies is another lens, I’m creating a separate post because it gets very confusing to put two lens names in a blog-post name, especially if they are made by a different manufacturer.
The lens is the new condition Sigma 16mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporiaries going for $319 in Sony E… As the “DC” in the model name suggests, this is an APS-C lens…
The other options (M43rds, Canon EF-M, Leica L) are not part of the sale (they go for $400).
The Adorama daily deals refresh at 10am ET every day, so this is good until Saturday at 10am ET, but because of the Passover holiday, this offer may repeat again [this is only my speculation]…
My oh my! Adorama is starting the Passover Holiday daily deals with a DOUBLE LENS DAY!
+ Rokinon 16mm T2.2 Cine for M43rds only for $179
+ Sigma 16mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporary for $319 in Sony E
+ Pelican 1607 Protector Case with Pick N Pluck Foam for $312
+ Profoto Wide Lens for A1 Studio Light for $10
+ the refresh time for Adorama daily deals is always 10am ET, not midnight
+ because it’s the holiday season, some of the daily deals may renew every 24 hours; however, I am only speculating, I’m not sure they will renew or not; only time will tell [cue continent supergroup song]…
Among the Friday Best Buy daily deals we have a sale on Sunpak 12″ ring light kits, two options, $60 or $80… With the usual/customary Shutterfly coupon promo thing…
At the Friday NewEgg dailies we find the Ryzen 5 2600 desktop processor for $180 after promo code, a 64GB Team microSDXC for $7, a 2TB WD Black P10 Game portable external HDD for $65 after promo code, a 50pk of KN-95 masks for $22, and more…
No, you don’t get a free p-bottle with purchase but among the Friday Gold Box deals they have a sale on their 10-inch Fire HD tablets from $108 to $168, with the $108 version having 64GB on-board [with microSD slot], 1080p, USB-C, 2GB RAM, and “with Ads”… The $168 is with a case and 15W faster charger…
And now something for Prime members, good until 3/27/21, if you purchase $30+ in Woot shirts, you can add to your order a tumbler for just $1 more. A lot of the tumbler options have already sold out, so don’t sleep on this! Details at the Woot forums…

UPDATE: among the Woot daily deals there’s a scratch-n-dent 11.6″ Samsung Chromebook (model XE303C12) going for $90 with a 90-day Woot warranty. Note that this does not get automatic Chrome OS updates (expired July 2018) and has 2GB RAM and 16GB on-board (and microSD) and Exynos processor and full-size USB ports. This was my first Chromebook, and as of three years ago it was already struggling with some of the busier and more demanding websites especially when using multiple tabs. So this can be useful for uni-taskers, eg tech-averse person using it for email and one-page-at-a-time browsing, but anything more demanding, you are better off with newer models…
As teased yesterday, one of the Monday 3/22/21 NewEgg daily deals is the new condition imported grey-market Nikon D5600 body only going for $600, sold and shipped by marketplace seller “Red Tag Camera” through the NewEgg website…

Meanwhile the current iteration of the Adorama daily deals [changes Tuesday 10am ET] is a trio of options:

+ DigiTech CabDryVR Dual Speaker Cabinet Emulator Pedal for $80
If you have any time-sensitive orders from B&H Photo, make sure you place your orders now!
B&H will be closing for the annual Passover Holiday from March 26 until April 4. Online orders will also be unavailable during some of those days.
Of online ordering interest, orders placed before 12pm ET on March 25 will be processed before the holiday closing. Orders placed after that, will get processed when they re-open on Monday April 5 in 2021.
But as usual, please don’t wait until 11:59am ET on March 25 to place your order as unpredictable things may delay the processing of the order (weather, traffic jams, technical difficulties, power outages, etc)…
Hooray, hooray, not because it’s Monday but because it is a LENS DAY at the B&H Photo daily deals, seven of them, good until 11:59pm ET (or earlier if sold out)… The flash deals, as usual, last only a few hours each…
