Lytro Illum Light Field Digital Camera for $1300 (optional: receive Flash Free by Mail)

The Lytro Illum Light Field Digital Camera has a double deal at B&H Photo. First up, its price is down to $1300 with free shipping. Next up (optionally), you can send Lytro a mail-in rebate form, and Lytro will send you by mail the Lytro Y68OL TTL Flash. Do not buy the flash on your own! You will receive the Flash by mail after you submit the mail-in rebate. This is not a cash rebate, it’s a product rebate… To locate the PDF of the rebate, look for the “More Rebates Available : (PDF)” below the “Savings Available” in the middle of the top of the B&H product page.

64GB Samsung PRO Class 10 SDXC for $36 (limit 5)

The 64GB Samsung PRO Class 10 SDXC (up to 90MB/sec read, up to 80MB/sec write) is currently on sale for $36 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of five per customer. The 32GB version goes for $20 and the 16GB for $12. They are all on the same product page. Limit five of each. They are not part of the lightning deals, so I don’t know when prices will change. The 64GB is model MB-SG64D/AM. For the other two, replace 64 with 32 and 16 and you get their model numbers.

Refurbished 8GB Lytro with case for $80

Today’s eBay Deals have a very early adopter feel to them, from a bluetooth gramophone (!) to the previously mentioned Pixelstick, to 3D printers, and of course, light field photography. The manufacturer refurbished 8GB Lytro camera with free case is offered for $80 with free shipping in two color choices by eBay seller “voodublu” (99.4%). The seller has its own promotion, save $15 for every time items you buy (Lytro is part of the promotion). The eBay listing has a limit of five Lytros per customer.

While the EOS & M43rds are part of the lightning deals, the Alpha A-mount version is on sale on its own, not part of the lightning deals. The market works in mysterious ways :)… Blog-post price updated on 11:28pm ET.

If you happen to need both Lightroom 5 (full version) and a 2TB portable USB 3.0 hard drive, BuyDig.com has a new limited time offer: 2TB Western Digital Portable USB 3.0 Hard Drive _plus_ Adobe Lightroom 5 software for $100 with free shipping! The price drops from $140 to $100 when you add the bundle to the shopping cart! You don’t need an account to check the price – just add to cart. You can buy as many bundles as you like at this price. Offer ends 12/14/14 or earlier if sold out. (it is not compatible with other coupons)… The hard drive on its own goes for $85 at Amazon.

Eneloop 4-position charger + 4 AAs (K-KJ17MCA4BA) for $18 w/free S&H

And now something for Eneloopy fans. NewEggFlash (NewEgg’s answer to Groupon type sites) is offering the Panasonic K-KJ17MCA4BA eneloop Advanced 4-position Charger & 4-pack AA New 2100 Cycle Rechargeable Batteries for $18 with free shipping and handling. You can buy up to 30 sets at this per unit price. Free shipping whether you buy one item or a gazillion… This goes for $20 at Amazon but if you don’t have Prime, you don’t get free shipping… The NewEggFlash offer ends 12/16/14.

NOTE: if you are speed-reading the specs,the numbers are similar and it may create confusion (it did with me): this is a 2100 cycle (2100 recharges), not a 2100 mah battery set. The batteries are rated 2000 mah (1900 mah minimum)… (yes, I know, mAh, not mah, but it’s faster to type mah – although not so much faster if I have to write a separate sentence talking about it 🙂 )
