Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
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.
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 🙂
If you want to stock up on Canon photo papers, the crazy “Buy 1 Get 4 FREE” promotion is back at the Official Canon USA store. Eligible items mentions this promotion “Buy 1 Get 4 FREE”. The 4 free items are added automatically. These also qualify for free 2-day shipping.
Separately, and automatically, if your order total is $40 or more, the shopping cart will add some free photo paper gifts for you. As of the time of writing, only three of the five free gifts are in-stock, so only the in-stock freebies will be included.
And if that’s not enough, coupon code P151001 further drops your order total. It is a 50% off coupon!
Please note the 13×19″ papers are not eligible for the “Buy 1 Get 4 FREE” promotion but they are eligible for the 50% off coupon.
This is a limited time offer but it returns every few weeks at the Canon USA store.
To the eBay Deals we check-upon, where we find eBay Seller “Get It Digital” (99.7%) offering the new condition GoPro HERO4 Silver, model CHDHY-401, on sale for $330 with free shipping with a limit of five per customer.
Next closest prices at the moment are $360 by Groupon Goods (free returns included) and $365 by Amazon itself.
Groupon Goods has a 2-Day Electronics Sale and among the items offered is the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Instant Film Camera with 20 Fujifilm Instant Film sheets (two 10pks) included for free. The total price is $85 with free shipping and free returns and a one year warranty from Fuji. It is available in pink, blue or white color schemes.
On the other hand, if you are comfortable with refurbished and don’t need the 20pk film sheets bundle, you can get the refurbished cameras for $52 shipped from Tanga. ($50 + $2 shipping per camera).

If of the four Sony RX100 digital cameras it is the Mark II (RX100 II) the one you want, Adorama has created a Sony RX100 II bundle for $500 with free shipping. You receive the standard RX100 II camera kit, the official Sony LCJ-RXF Premium Leather-Like Jacket Case, a 16GB Toshiba microSD card (with full-size SD adapter), and 2% promotional rewards (= $10). These are included automatically by Adorama while this promotion is running.
But that’s not all! If you are willing to lift a finger, you can also get this for FREE: Look for the “Create Your Bundle and Save Up to $160!” option, next to the yellow “Special Offer”. Locate the “Free Gift” tab, and you will notice a NewLeaf 1 Year Drops-n-Spills Extra Protection. Click on the blue “Add to Bundle” and then the green “Add Bundle to Cart” and proceed to checkout.
The Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Instant Film Camera is currently offered in refurbished condition (described as “Grade A Factory Refurbished” with a 90 day Fuji warranty) for $50 plus $2 shipping at deals website Tanga. There are five colors available. Limit one camera per color. Shipping is $2 per camera, so if you get all five colors, your shipping will be $10.
Still going on is the 32GB Sandisk Extreme SDHC for $18 we mentioned last night, but if you prefer Lexar and 128GB, their 128GB Lexar Professional 1000x SDXC UHS-II/U3 Card (Up to 150MB/s read) with Image Rescue 5 Software software, model LSD128CRBNA1000, is on sale for $65 with free shipping with a limit of 30 per customer at Amazon by Amazon herself. The 128GB card currently crashes its 16GB to 256GB 1000x cousins in the same line-up in terms of GB/$.
If you like 16GB memory cards and you are fine with lower speeds, the 16GB Transcend Class 10 SDHC, 300x (up to 45MB/sec read), model TS16GSDU1 or TS16GSDU1E (frustration free packaging) is on sale for $7 per card at Amazon by Amazon herself. The limit is five per customer, but since they have them on sale in both the frustration free packaging and the standard packaging, you may be able to get five of each for a total of ten (I haven’t tried this).
If you like 16GB memory cards and you are fine with even lower speed, the 16GB Transcend Class 10 SDHC, 200x (up to 30MB/sec read), model TS16GSDHC10 or TS16GSDHC10E (frustration free packaging) is on sale for $6 per card at Amazon by Amazon herself. The limit is five per customer, but since they have them on sale in both the frustration free packaging and the standard packaging, you may be able to get five of each for a total of ten (I haven’t tried this).
Prime membership gets you free 2-day shipping even if you buy only one card (they are not part of the dreaded Add-On program). Non-Prime members get the usual $35+ free super-shaver-shipping.
If you like big box tripods, the Manfrotto BeFree Compact Aluminum Travel Tripod, model KBFRA4-BH-C, goes for $170 with free shipping at Focus Camera.
PS: I am assuming “big box model” means it arrives in a giant box?
Sometimes you may just want a basic semi-throwaway tripod, and in this case, the price is right, $10 with free shipping gets you the Aiptek ZAC-STD-5 Lightweight Aluminum Tripod with 3-Way Pan Head from Adorama.
We conclude the tripod trilogy with Cullmann 55284 Magnesit 528 Tripod with CW30 3-Way Head offered for $100 plus shipping (may vary by zipcode) at Adorama.

This is a live/organic sale, it is not part of the lightning deals, so the price may or may not change at any point in time (market-driven as they say).
In this post, we round up some bang for the buck USB chargers and external power banks.

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.
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.
