Speaking of Sandisk and memory cards, their early adopter (and violating the powers of 2) 200GB Sandisk Ultra microSD with full SD adapter, model SDSDQUAN-200G-G4A, is on sale for $180.

If you are a Prime member you get free 2-day or free 1-day shipping depending on location (of you and their memory card supplies).

Pentax K-3 body only + 50mm f1.8 + AF-200FG Flash + 4% rewards for $650

With Pentax, the release of a new flagship camera (at the moment the K-3 II for $900), often means bang for the buck deals can be found with the previous model. And it certainly looks so at the moment, you can get a nice “take pictures with” kit for $650 at Adorama that includes the K-3 body only (first generation), the 50mm f1.8 DA prime lens, and AF-200FG flash and 4% promotional rewards (= $26~). No coupons, no rebates, just add to cart and checkout.

Pentax K-3 II body only for $900

The Pentax K-3 II body only is now going for $900 at B&H Photo and at Overstock.com (all apologies if the mere mention of that name start auto-playing the Overstock jingle in your head – after all, it’s just two months to Christmas 2015).

NOTE: when price-checking on eBay and Amazon, keep in mind, that most of the places offering it for lower prices are not authorized dealers.
