Thursday: No Camera & Photo Lightning Deals Planned

Since I am posting almost daily Lightning Deals round-ups, on days I don’t post them, it raises the question: is the blog running behind or are there no deals? To help answer that question, I am trying a new experiment, this re-surfacing post that answers that question. (to prevent filling up the blog with no-op posts, I simply change the date of the same post and move it up/down as needed).

As of around 1:40am ET on Thursday there are no camera and photo related lightning deals scheduled in the Amazon Gold Box that are of Camera & Photo interest for Thursday 10/8/15 (except for selfie-sticks of course).

CAVEAT: please note however that “Deals of The Day” get revealed at 3am Eastern every night, and those are typically not “teased” ahead of time. Also keep in mind that some of the lightning deals just go live at the Amazon website without them appearing in the “teasers”. These obviously I can’t catch ahead of time.

Pre-order new Surface Book laptop and Surface Pro 4

Two fast-talking presenters with “personalities” injected some excitement and coolness to the new Microsoft products announced at a live event (video replays avaiable) on 10/6/15, perhaps trying to take advantage of peak-iOS and peak-Android.

Meanwhile the new Lumia smartphones come with 20mp PureView cameras with OIS and Zeiss lenses. There are plenty of previews of all these online by now.
