Nikon D5200 with 18-55 DX VR for $450
There are almost as many old Nikon dSLRs (especially when you factor in the refurbished options) as their are old Rock Stars, so you may have some homework to do to figure out which one of the many options to get… If you have decided on the new condition Nikon D5200 with 18-55 DX VR, you can get it for $450 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo as part of their 2-Day Sale ending at the end of day on Tuesday 11/10/15.

20% off Photography e-books with coupon
Good until the end of November 2015, coupon code categorysalecp gets you 20% off Photography e-books, along with e-books that fall under the Art, Computers, Nature, and Self-Help categories at eBooks.com. Use the categories in the left hand side of their website to find these categories, or use your in-browser search feature to look for “photography”. It will find it after you type “pho”, you don’t even have to type the whole thing.
PS: as with many category-based sales, eligible items are what their computer thinks belong to those categories. There could be false-positives and false-negatives. I can’t check the coupon on every one of the 4000+ photography e-books they have over there. They are available in ePUB or PDF. They have DRM. You can also read them in a web browser.

Refurbished GoPro HERO3+ Silver Edition Camera w/1yr warranty for $160

64GB Samsung USB 3.0 Flash Drive Duo for $23
Samsung is back with yet another new product, this time they are dipping into the world of two-input USB 3.0 flash drives. One side is full-size USB, the other side is micro-USB, so you can use the same storage in computers and phones/tablets alike. A quick way to transfer files if you don’t want to setup over-the-air connections between your devices. The phone/tablets must needs support USB OTG (OTG = On The Go, USB Host). This requires both the necessary hardware and the necessary support from the phone’s software/firmware. Check the interwebs if you are not certain whether your phone can support this.
To cut a long story short, this 64GB Samsung USB 3.0 Flash Drive Duo, model MUF-64CB/AM, is on sale for $23 at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of 20 per customer. The usual free shipping terms apply (free for Prime or with $35+ order). This is so new, it has no customer reviews yet. As with many Samsung flash storage products, it is marked as Water proof, Shock proof, magnet proof, temp proof, and X-ray proof with a 5-year warranty.
PS: I haven’t used this one, so I don’t know if it’s possible to connect both devices at the same time. I previously used one from another company (I can’t find it right now to test this), but I think you have to connect the devices one at a time, but I could be wrong.
(ENDED) Fuji XQ1 rawsumer drops to $170
As of 11/11/15, the price jumped up up up and away…
For those of you following on the RSS feed and may not have seen the previous “falling knife” price updates, the black Fuji XQ1 compact-avec-RAWeaux (aka rawsumer) is now down to $170 with free shipping, with a limit of 10 per customer, at Amazon by Amazon itself. We started following the falling knife price at $227.
Strategically, in situations like these, it’s hard to predict when to try to catch the falling knife, especially with Black Friday madness just around the virtual corner.
