Go out and take pictures, all day and all night, the gurus and the teachers tell you. What they don’t tell you is that you are going to need a warehouse full of storage gear to save them all. If that describes your current situation, trending among the latest eBay Trending Deals (not to be confused with the “regular” eBay Deals) is the new condition 3TB Western Digital My Passport Ultra Portable External Hard Drive offered for $125 with free shipping with a limit of five per customer. It is available in three different color schemes if you are fond of the color-coding scheme. The seller is Buydig’s eBay store.

Among the trending eBay Deals, Beach Camera’s eBay store is offering two manufacturer refurbished Nikon D3330 bundles.

Yes, a big victory for microSD fans today. All Amazon’s new tablets (7-inch, 8-inch, 10-inch, Kids Edition) and their new 4K Fire TV take microSD cards (up to 128GB). Now if they could only convince stubborn Google 🙂
