Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
The Lytro Illum Light Field Digital Camera (the big one, not the dessert size Pez dispensers) is now going for $800 with free shipping by the Willoughby’s eBay Store. They have one two left in the listing and they have “Make Offer” enabled, so you can try to digitally-negotiate a lower price (the “Best Offer” feature is an official (lesser known) eBay feature).
Or you can get it for $845 with free expedited shipping from B&H Photo.
When it rains pancakes, it pours! B&H Photo is also having a sale on the Samsung 20mm f2.8 NX pancake for $180 with free expedited shipping and 4% promotional rewards (= $7.20~). This is the black color scheme, not pink.
To the eBay Deals we go, where PayPal’s Digital Gifts has an e-doorbuster offer of sorts, Pay $75, Get $100 iTunes eGift Card by e-mail with a limit of four per customer. According to my detailed calculations, this is a 25% off discount, not the lowest ever, but certainly better than 20% or 15% or 0% 🙂 You also earn eBay Bucks on the purchase (if a member). This can be used to purchase digital content on iTunes. Of on-topic interest, they have various photography and camera apps, photography and camera e-books, camera guides, and such.
Adorama has another Canon DSLR and printer and extras super bundle with mail-in rebate (prepaid American Express Gift Card). This time the center of the attention is the Canon SL1 w/18-55 IS STM kit, available in either the standard black SL1 color scheme or the not-Stormtrooper white SL1 color scheme for $450 after a $350 mail-in rebate. For that, you receive:
Once upon a time, back when music was not auto-tuned, you could only get a digital camera without optical zoom for under $100. Nowadays, you can even get superzooms for $100. Case in point, among the latest Canon Outlet Store sales, you can get the manufacturer refurbished Canon SX510 HS superzoom (30x, HS = CMOS sensor) for $100 with a one year Canon USA warranty.
But there’s more choices, a total of ten different refurbished superzooms with 1yr warranty are part of the refurbished sales with prices ranging from $100 to $200 (including the good old refurbished SX50 HS for $150). Deciding which one to pick can be a very fun and/or frustrating stretchable project, plenty of reviews and forums and samples to look at 🙂
Zoom-zoom! The Panasonic FZ200 superzoom (okay, a RAWzoomer since you have RAW) is bundled with a $100 Adorama Gift Certificate and a 16GB Toshiba SD card, all together for $400 with free shipping at Adorama. Offer ends 9/8/15.
