Sigma DP Merrills for $700 to $710 {SD1 for $2000}

The instant discount wave from Shiguma is also lifting (down) the prices of the DP-series Merrill trio. The DP1 Merrill goes for $700, while the DP2 Merrill and the DP3 Merrill go for $710 each.

Meanwhile, the niche-within-a-niche hiding in the nooks and crannies of another niche-within-a-niche, a “Mean Girls” way of saying a Sigma DSLR, the Sigma SD1 body only goes for $2000 with 4% promotional rewards (=4%).

Experimental Amazon Feature: 7-Day Free Full e-Book Trials

If you like to check out photography, camera or any other e-books in the full before buying, there is a welcome new experimental feature at Amazon, 7-day free full e-book trials. This is not the old “receive a sample”. You get the whole e-book for seven days to read. I don’t know what the scale of this experiment is, I just discovered this on the individual product page for the “How to Diagnose and Fix Everything Electronic” e-book.
