Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
Adorama is offering the Flashpoint StreakLight 720 Ws Event Portrait Kit for $1300 with free expedited shipping (which is nice because studio items are a combination of space-eaters and heavy). The bundle includes the flashes (2x), power pack (2x), extra battery (2x), commander and receiver, umbrella reflector (2x), parabolic umbrella (2x), stand (2x), and clamp (2x). Details of all included items in the bundle over there.
PS: 2x = two of the same item.
CreativeLIVE is having a FREE online conference running between September 18-25 in 2015. A variety of classes are planned. You can see the schedule by day over there.
The Buy 1 Get 4 Free on select photo papers offer is back at the official Canon USA store. For every one pack of photo paper you add, their shopping cart adds four more automatically. On top of that, if your order total is $40 or more (in paper, ink or combo packs), then the shopping cart automatically adds more freebies. As of the time of writing, three of the five freebies are out of stock, so it only adds the 4×6 photo paper gifts. The 5×7 photo paper and turquoise photo album are out of stock. Free 2-day shipping.
Separately, they have a 50% off on Volume Paper Savings, paper in packs of 100 or 200 or 250 or 500 sheets.
AS of a 9/20/15 re-check, this offer ended with 270 units sold… For future action, check the eBay Deals…

The Pacsafe Toursafe At21 21.5″ Anti-theft Wheeled Carry-on is currently on sale for $100 with free expedited shipping at Adorama. Offer ends 09/24/15 or earlier if sold out.
ORIGINAL POST: The Uncarrier is selling cameras too. For a limited time only, coupon code HALFOFF gets you the HTC RE camera [corrected link] (PEZ dispenser action camera) for $100 instead of its regular price. An exhaustive list of compatible devices is shown below the product description over there. The Uncarrier being T-Mobile. Personal delivery by John Legere NOT included 🙂
CAUTION: magenta overload at the aforelinked page – calibrate your monitors to prevent magenta burn-in 😉
ENDED: UPDATE: For Saturday 9/19/15, you can get it for $100 with a free HTC RE bar as one of the Best Buy Daily Deals…
To the eBay Deals we return (they are the equivalent of a deals-breath meditation), where Adorama’s eBay store is offering the new condition GoPro HERO4 Session, model CHDHS-101, for $350 with free shipping (limit 50 per customer)… Alternately, you can get this for $400 with $40 Amazon Gift Card and 1yr Amazon Unlimited Everything cloud at Amazon by Amazon itself.
The previously mentioned deal has now gone live. You can get all three Rokinon Xeen T1.5 Cine lenses (24mm, 50mm, 85mm) for $5985 if you buy them together as a bundle in the same mount at Adorama. This is thanks to a $1500 off combined purchase discount, vs a $300 off discount if you buy each lens on its own. It is available in the Canon and Nikon DSLR mounts, the Sony E-mount, Micro Four Thirds, and PL mount.
It’s Thursday 9/17/15, and among many other things, this means authorized Sony dealers are now allowed to accept pre-orders for the all new Sony a7S II E-mount full framer for $3000. You can do so at B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon by Amazon itself. The release estimate is October 16 (2015).
This expired: Speaking of B&H Photo, their current deal of the day (ends by Thur 11:59pm ET) are the old school AKG K240 Studio headphones for $50 with free shipping.
If you are part of the Amazon ecosystem, they just announced a bunch of new products which you can find nicely organized on their home page. Of bang for the buck interest, their new 7-inch 8GB Fire Tablet with Special Offers goes for $50. But you can get it for less. If you buy six of them, and enter coupon code FIRE6PACK in the shopping cart, you only pay for five of them ($250 instead of $300 – comes out to $42.67 per tablet). Beer is not the only thing sold in six packs 😉
UPDATE/NOTE: the $50 tablet only has a 90 day warranty. You can buy additional extended warranty for $10 (one year) or slightly $more$ for additional years.
Of photography interest, the new Fire TV with Alexa now supports 4K and has 2GB RAM, 8GB on-board and takes microSD cards (up to 128GB). [also available in a gamer’s bundle with controller for $140].
The other of photography potentially interesting item is their largest screen tablet yet, a 10-inch Fire HD (16GB on-board, microSD slot (up to 128GB), 1280 x 800, Special Offers) for $230.
Yes, a big victory for microSD fans today. All Amazon’s new tablets (7-inch, 8-inch, 10-inch, Kids Edition) and their new 4K Fire TV take microSD cards (up to 128GB). Now if they could only convince stubborn Google 🙂
The new Rokinon theme song, o/~ Here I am, Rock-inon you like a hurricane o/~. With that nonsense out of the way, if you are interested in the new Rokinon Xeen Cine T1.5 lenses (24mm, 50mm and 85mm) available in the Canon and Nikon SLR mounts, Sony E-mounts, Micro Four Thirds, and PL mount, they have their first wave of discounting. If you buy one lens, you get $300 off instant savings… UPDATE: the Nikon F mount, version is now discounted as well!
You can find these at Adorama as follows:
+ Rokinon Xeen lenses (individual lenses, 15 options)
+ all individual lenses for $2200 each – including the Nikons [updated]
+ the sale below has now gone live (update 3:45pm ET)
+ But if you buy all three lenses (of the same mount), you get $1500 off instant savings (the Nikon F mount bundle gets the discount).
+ Xeen Three Lens Bundles for $7485 total (in the five aforementioned mounts, including Nikon)
The Walgreens photo website has two new coupon codes, good until the close of business on Saturday 9/19/15, with the usual limit of five uses of each coupon per customer. Free store pickup or shipping fees as usual. They are:
+ 60% off Photo Mugs with coupon code GIFTMUG (18 options, one is coasters)
++ mugs because the weather is getting colder because… Winter Is Coming!
+ 40% off Everything Photo with coupon code CREATE40 (prints, wood panels, canvas, posters, photo books, calendars, cards, mouse pads, etc)
+ coupons expire Saturday 9/19/15 at 11:59pm Central Time

UPDATE 9/18/15: the Skylake i5 ASUS M32CD Desktop is no longer orderable and the Amazon Product page has no estimate on if/when this will come back…
Meanwhile, the other one mentioned in this post, the i3-4170 model remains available for pre-order for $355.
As of a 9/20/15 recheck, this particular offer ended… For future action, check the eBay Deals…
This sold out again… If you missed it a couple of weeks ago, fear not – it is back! The Kata KT DL-GP-80 GearPack Micro Backpack is back in-stock for $20, sold by Roberts LP with the order fulfilled by Amazon, so Prime members get free shipping. Non-Prime members get free shipping with a $35+ order.
Meanwhile if you are planning a $25+ order at Amazon, this tiny AmazonBasics camera bag is now down to $1.20 (was $1.26) each (limit 90). Four of these and the Kata above get you to $25+.
This offer expired… For more B&H action, check their Featured Deals page…
This particular lightning deal ended, but Sony SDXC cards are recurring “guests” at the Amazon Gold Box deals, so they should return at unspecific/unknown dates in the future…
Adorama has a filters sale, with a total of 33 items participating as follows:
+ B+W Neutral Density Filters (26 options, prices range from $26~ to $99)
+ Tiffen Neutral Density Filters (7 options, prices range from $100 to $180)
Let there be light! The Flashpoint StreakLight 360 Ws Flash with Blast Power Pack bundle is now on sale for $400 with free expedited shipping at Adorama. This bundle includes:
Just add to cart and proceed to checkout. No coupons/rebates. Optionally, check the “Buy together and Save up to $100.00 with bundle. See details” Special Offers section for optional combined purchase discounts (light stands and such).
We start a tripod mini series. First up, if you are not afraid of mail-in rebates, the Vanguard 263AB-100 3-Section Aluminum Alloy Alta Pro 263-AT Tripod Legs with SBH-100 QR Ballhead is on sale for $150 after a $50 mail-in rebate and with free expedited shipping at Adorama. The PDF rebate form is right there on the product page.
The Manfrotto MKBFRA4-BHC BeFree travel tripod is currently on sale for $179 with free shipping in new condition by OneCall.com or if you have Amazon gift cards to spend, by OneCall upon Amazon.
On the other hand, if you are comfortable with open-box purchases, you can get it for $170 with free shipping by Focus Camera on eBay (five units left as of the time of writing) [don’t forget the limited time 5X eBay Bucks offer if you are eligible for that].
The tripod party continues, the new condition Vanguard Alta CA 234AP 4-section alum-alloy tripod with the PH-33 pan head is on sale for $80 with free shipping at Adorama or if you have Amazon Gift Cards waiting to be spent, by Adorama upon Amazon.
On the budget tripods front, the Aiptek ZAC-STD-5 is on sale for $10 with free shipping at Adorama. No coupon, no rebate. It averages 3.8 out of 5 based on 38 customer reviews and has 87 answers on customer questions.
Back to the eBay Deals we fly. The last time we mentioned the imported grey-market Canon 1D X it was going for $4000. Right now it has dropped to $3900 offered by Get It On Digital (99.7%). Free shipping, one year warranty from Get It Digital (not Canon), limit five per customer.
But the price has also dropped at authorized dealers since then, it goes for $4600. At B&H Photo you get three free accessories (32GB Extreme Pro CF, bag, remote) and 2% promotional rewards (= $92~). You also get 2% rewards at Adorama with two free extra Canon batteries and a 128GB Lexar Professional 1066x CompactFlash card. At Amazon, no rewards and no accessories but you get 1 Year of Unlimited Everything Cloud storage.
Prime members in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas have a new Prime benefit going live, the Prime Now service. To celebrate the launch, Amazon offers coupon code LATRYNOW to get $20 off an order of $50+. This can be particularly good if you are buying items that have the same prices at all authorized dealers. The coupon is good for physical items sold and shipped by Amazon itself. I am not in a Prime Now area yet, so I can’t test it and tell you more about it. Details and terms and conditions at the Amazon Prime Now page.
PS: that page also mentions coupon code TRYITNOW that’s also $20 off a $50+ order. I don’t know if you can use them both, on separate orders, or stack them. I can’t test this, so this is DIY YMMV.
PS2: Prime Now is purchasing regular Amazon items. It should not be confused with AmazonFresh (fresh foods and groceries) or Prime Pantry (someone’s twisted idea of a virtual Costco).
This is YMMV because I don’t know if eBay sends these type of offers to every person participating in their eBay Bucks rewards program or some of them. So if you received an email from eBay or saw this offer in your eBay Messages, then it means you are eligible. This is important because you have to opt-in for the offer, that’s how it activates.
So with this offer, you earn 5X eBay Bucks (which is 10% since 1X = 2%) on purchases of individual items that are priced $50 or more. You can use this offer on as many items as you like. The limits are $100 rewards on a single item, and $500 total per account during the promotion. Offer expires on Thursday 7/17/15 at 11:59pm pacific time.
A good place to start looking for ideas are the eBay Deals du jour.
