So many camera mounts so little time. If you are interested in the world of Olympus, you can find all the latest instant savings promotions for the iLCs, Lenses, and fixed lens cameras nicely organized at the official Olympus store where they have free shipping with $100+ orders (flat $5 if under $100).

If you are comfortable with refurbished, don’t forget to check the Outlet store where creatures big (35-100/2 for $1769) and small (body cap lens for $38) are offered. Their reconditioned items come with a 90 day warranty from Olympus.

27-inch ASUS PB278Q IPS Monitor (2560×1440, many inputs) for $400

Monitor action now, of the ASUS variety, and thankfully no mail-in rebate needed. It is the 27-inch ASUS PB278Q IPS computer monitor, with a 2560×1440 resolution, many inputs (HDMI, DVI-D, DisplayPort, VGA), 100% (sRGB), various adjustments (image and physical), and a boatload of cables included in the package. The connections are on the left side, not behind the monitor (you can see them in all their glory in picture #6 in the main gallery over there). It averages 4.3 out of 5 based on 875 customer reviews and has nearly 400 questions answered over there. Limit four per customer.

Oops, I forgot the price and link. It goes for $400 at Amazon by Amazon itself 🙂

In-stock again: 32GB Motorola Nexus 6 for $350 (unlocked, no contract)

If you don’t want to wait for the Google New Nexus event in late September, the 32GB Nexus 6 is back in-stock for $350 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of three per customer. No contract, no carrier restrictions, this is Pure Nexus Android. The only phone so far (as far as I recall) eligible for Google’s Project Fi phone service.

Speaking of pure Android, the Nexus 9 tablet was on sale for $239~ (16GB) or $287~ (32GB) directly from HTC but as of the time of writing, all four combinations (two colors each) are out of stock.

Not out of stock at the HTC website is their RE action camera going for $100, available in four colors.

Speaking of HTC, you can get their flagship M9 phone for $487 with a $100 Google Play credit included. This is available as Unlocked, or as a Developer model, or in one of the four carrier various (Red, Blue, Yellow, Magenta networks). Each phone is available in different colors as well. Of photographer interest, it has a microSD slot, so you can take more pictures without having to micromanage limited on-board storage.

TIP: on the HTC website, you have to select all the options (storage, colors, etc) before they show the price and stock status.

Manfrotto Bella Shoulder Bag: $10 to $15 (shipping depends)

They spell it with one “l”, so it’s probably not a Bela Lugosi homage, but let’s get back on track before this runs out of control completely. There are various sales of the Manfrotto Bella shoulder bags. Prices and shipping are intertwined in these, so it depends which one may work better for you. Here we geaux:

+ Manfrotto Bella II charcoal/brown (they call the color “bungee cord”) for $10 + shipping at B&H Photo

8-slot EBL 808 battery charger for $10

And now something for fans of battery charging. The EBL 808 is an 8-slot charger that has been superceded by a newer 12-slot charger ($30), which triggered further discounting on the 8-slot charger, currently going for $10, sold by a 3rd-party seller, with the order fulfilled by Amazon so it is eligible for Prime shipping. There are over 2000 customer reviews but it is pooling multiple products. To see the reviews of only this product, check this filtered review list (over 1500 of them).

If you are planning to buy other items from the same seller, look at the various coupons in the “Special Offers and Product Promotions” further down the product listing page.

YMMV AMEX Offers: Spend $10+ at Adobe.com, Get $10 statement credit

We start another burst of posts (from here upwards, since they are posted in reverse chronological order). This one is of the YMMV variety, American Express Offers. This can be found when you logon to your AMEX account. Not everyone gets the same offers, so there is a YMMV element to it. Their system probably has some kind of “targeting” algorithm to decide who to offer it to (or may just randomness). Regardless, there’s an Adobe offer, you spend $10 or more at Adobe.com in a single transaction (excludes merchandise, phone orders) and you get a $10 statement credit. Limit one per customer. Expires 10/30/15 if not used.

256GB PNY SDXC Elite Performance UHS-I/U3 for $90

Ride the PoNY! We have another price drop on a 256GB memory card as they slowly but steadily reach lower $/GB, leaving the 512GB cards to hoard the big price premiums. So the 256GB PNY Elite Performance UHS-I/U3 SDXC Class 10, model P-SDX256U395-GE, up to 95MB/sec, is now down to $90 with free shipping, with a limit of 30 per customer at Amazon by Amazon itself.

Speaking of Amazon, this blog’s semi-ironic meme of 2015, the tiny AmazonBasics camera bag is now down to $1.40 each, new condition, in semi-sturdy cardboard box, still part of the Add-On program, with a limit of 90 per customer. [see earlier semi-long post].

One Year of NewEgg Premier for some Students (must be attending eligible school partnered with NewEgg Business)

If you are a student, you may be eligible to get a FREE one-year NewEgg Premier subscription (free shipping, typically costs $30/year). This is different from the Adobe academic discounts. Your eligibility depends on whether your school is a partner with NewEgg Business (their business B2B site). So you get a free Premier subscription at the regular NewEgg website, but your eligibility stems from your school’s partnership with NewEgg business.

More details at the promotional page. You can confirm there your school’s eligibility by entering your school’s email address.

PS1: all apologies, Noisy U does not qualify (yet) 😉

PS2: all apologies for the long blog-post title, I was trying to prevent it from being click-bait-y without the extra clarifactions
