Nikon A with DF-CP1 OVF kit drops to $500 (silver) or $520 (black)

If you are interested in the Nikon A, we have good-news/bad-news for you. We start with the bad news: the silver Adorama bundle with four extras for $400 is sold-out and no longer orderable. Also, Amazon’s lowest price is now $460.

The good news now: if you want the Nikon A and the DF-CP1 OVF optical viewfinder, the black Nikon A bundle has dropped from $570 to $520 at B&H Photo.

If you prefer the silver Nikon A and the DF-CP1 OVF, at B&H Photo, you can click the “Save $300 On Nikon DF-CP1 Optical Viewfinder” under “Savings Available” and add it. This allows you to add the DF-CP1 OVF kit for +$100. So $400 + $100 = $500.

If you prefer the silver Nikon A without any extras, it continues to sell for $400 at B&H Photo and Best Buy (store pickup).

Canon D-Rebel T5 w/18-55 & 75-300 & Bag & SD for $500

If of all the Canon D-Rebel options out there, it is the D-Rebel T5 the one you want, the two lens kit, with the 18-55 and 75-300mm lenses along with a free camera bag and free SDHC memory card is going for $500 at Amazon by Amazon itself (limit 3) and B&H Photo. No coupons needed, just add to cart and checkout… The T5 w/18-55 kit goes for $450… The two lens kit with the 55-250mm instead of the 75-300 goes for $600…

NOTE: this is the T5 entry-level DSLR, not to be confused with the more advanced T5i.

(ENDED) Ends Mon 1am ET: New-OpenBox Sony NEX-3N w/16-50 for $285

This daily deal expired… The Woot Electronics deal of the day, ending by 1am ET on Monday, is the new (open-box condition) black Sony NEX-3N with 16-50mm offered for $280 plus $5 flat shipping.

(ENDED) Panasonic GM1 w/14-42mm (silver) for $500 [TOOS; limit 2]

As of a 12/29/14 recheck, the price is back to $6500… As of a 12/29/14 at 2:12am ET recheck, the silver Panasonic GM1 with 14-42mm has gone “temporarily out of stock” as well at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of two per customer. This is not part of the lightning deals, so the price is market driven.

(ENDED) Orange Panasonic GM1 w/12-32mm for $500 (limit 2; TOOS)

As of a 12/29/14 recheck, the price is back to $6500… Oranges and carrots are good for you. If you happen to like cameras with colors somewhere in-between oranges and carrots, the Panasonic GM1 with 12-32 (model DMC-GM1KD) is on sale for $500 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself. Limit two per customer during this sale. It is currently “temporarily out of stock” (TOOS) but you can order it and lock up the $500 price… This is not part of the lightning deals, so the price is market driven (can change or not change at any point in time).

(ENDED) Nikon D4S body only for $6200

Of the well-known reputable online dealers, OneCall’s eBay store has some silver bodies in New-Other condition for $1200. The big picture at the Fuji X100T stock status page.

Only this Nikon bundle is going for $900. The other versions go for $950… I don’t know if it is a price error or a specific sale or a price-match.

Golla Sky Ultra-Zoom Camera bag for $6 w/free S&H

Among the various offers at the clearance website Tanga.com, there is the Golla Sky Ultra-Zoom Camera bag offered for $6 with free shipping, with a limit of ten per customer. No specs and no specific model number are provided, so I can’t really tell how big it is. The closest thing to a size estimate in the product description is this phrase: “Your mirror less camera, semi SLR camera, or camcorder”.

Sony a5000 w/16-50mm & card & case & New Leaf for $300

Optionally you can get a free New Leaf 1yr Spills and Drops warranty – you have to add this manually by clicking under “Buy Together and save” and then selecting the “Adorama Holiday Gift” and there you will see the New Leaf offer and then add it to bundle and then add bundle to the shopping cart. All three colors of the a5000 kits are participating. Here’s the example for the silver model.

Canon SX520 HS with card and case for $200

Stacksocial is running a Mac Name Your Own Price bundle that includes MacPhun’s Intensify Pro and Shiny Frog’s Pixa Mac computer apps. The Pixa app is available with any price. To get Intensify Pro, you need to meet or beat the average price, which currently is $5.66. If you pay below average, you get three apps (Pixa included). If you pay above average, you get nine apps total (Intensify, Pixa, etc). The average price is shown over there and it changes as more people buy. These are digital downloads, all sales are final. 10% of your purchase price goes to a charity (three charity choices are available including Creative Commons).

Speaking of Stacksocial, if you are looking for a photography-themed WordPress theme, they have a WordPress Theme Name Your Own Price bundle featuring the Photex responsive WordPress theme (see demo) if you beat the average price of $7.84 (as of time of writing).

(ENDED) Ends Mon 3:50pm ET: Samsung NX3000 w/16-50mm for $300

This limited time offer expired, but if you missed it, fear not; the NX cameras are recurring in the Lightning Deals (but I have no clue if/when they will re-appear)…

Canon 50mm f1.8 II (imported or likewise) for $93

The latest action in the eBay Deals includes the new condition but very likely not-USA-warranty Canon 50mm f1.8 II lens offered for $93 with free shipping, with a limit of five per customer, by eBay seller RedTagCamera (99.9%). There is no mention of warranty in the listing and the seller is not an authorized Canon dealer (as far as I can tell), so assume this is imported or something similar.

Since this is a low priced simple prime lens, for some people, this may be a reasonable risk… At authorized Canon dealers, this goes for $105 after a $20 mail-in rebate (eg Adorama, B&H Photo).

Nikon D5200 two-lens holiday bundle drops to $580

The Nikon D5200 two lens holiday bundle that consists of the D5200 and 18-55 and 55-200 DX non-VR lenses and the Nikon WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter and the Nikon School DVD and camera case and 16GB SDHC card is now down to $580 with free shipping at Adorama and Amazon by Amazon itself (limit 2).

(ENDED) Thur only: Refurbished Nikon D5300 w/18-55 for $565 (was $585)

This daily deal expired but many of the Woot deals are recurring, so it may return at some point in the future…

This limited time promotion ended but every few weeks, Amazon’s Android-y app-store has free premium app promotions…

Panasonic LX100 with free Jacket Case or free Rode mic for $900
