Lytro Illum drops to $600

The “real” Lytro camera has yet another discount. The bigger Illum, in new condition, is now down to $600 at Adorama or if you have Amazon Gift Cards to spend by Adorama on Amazon, and also at Groupon Goods (free returns) which is having a limited time 2-Day Electronics Sale.

Meanwhile the little Pez dispenser sized Lytro camera is also going down, now $60 with free shipping in new condition by Voodoblu on eBay.

Pre-order new Leica SL not-SLR FF camera and 24-90mm f2.8-4 lens

Because we don’t have enough camera systems out here these days, Leica has announced today a brand new full frame mirrorless system. And to troll SLR users, they are naming it “SL” 🙂 The new camera and lens are now available for pre-order:

+ Leica SL Typ 601 camera body only for $7450 at Adorama and B&H Photo

+ Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm f2.8-4 ASPH. Lens for $4950 at Adorama and B&H Photo

Wait whaaaat? A new Leica system and the first lens announced is a ZOOM? Let the protests outside the Leica Headquarters begin 🙂 But fear not, they will have adapters for their M-lenses and R-lenses and S-lenses and Cine-lenses!

The new camera and lens have been added to their respective segments in the New Cameras and Lenses Tracking page, decidedly bringing the averages up in both categories 🙂
