B&H Photo has launched their PhotoPlus 2015 Specials. Some of the offers require promo code PPEBH15 to activate. More on these tomorrow as I go through them, but in the meantime, you can peruse them at your leisure.

Caution when buying Camera Gear from Jet.com
Jet.com is trying to inject some new energy and ideas in the world of online shopping, and they have been getting more funding, encouraging further experimentation. However, when it comes to buying capital/investment type of gear (eg where the manufacturer’s warranty is important, such as camera gear), it’s a big risk. Why?
Jet, unlike other sellers with open-marketplaces (such as eBay, Rakuten, NewEgg, Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy), does not tell you who the seller is before you order. You don’t have to bother figuring it out or pick a particular seller from a long list or incur additional shipping fees for items sold by the 3rd-party sellers (as opposed to the “home team”). That’s nice and convenient for household items (you are probably not going to use the manufacturer’s warranty on the kitchen towels!).
However what is a plus for small purchases, becomes a big negative for things like camera gear. Because not all marketplace sellers are equal, and only some of them are authorized by the manufacturers, you have no idea whether you are getting an authorized-USA product or a grey-market product before you order. Considering all the shenanigans we know (and not love) about camera gear selling, and some sellers are less reputable and reliable than others, this is a big wild card and risk.
eBay Featured Sale on Canon Gear (143 items)
eBay has semi-curated featured sales on different products and categories, and among them, there is a featured sale on Canon Gear with 143 options. It features a mix of DSLRs and Powershots, among others. The menu on the left hand side of that page can help filter them some.
PS: I can’t price-check 143 items on a dime, so until/unless I can get to them, you have a DIY adventure if you wish to go deal-hunting.
