Fujifilm Instax 8 Color Instax Mini 8 Instant Camera for $59 w/free s&h

Being creative (in the eyes of the unwashed masses) is sometimes all about image (of course it shouldn’t be, but that’s how the world works). So if you are lactose intolerant and can’t have that upside down extra foam half-calf unsweetened almond milk with dry soy foam latte (a drink only a true creative would get), the next best choice is to go hipster. Which brings us to…

… to the eBay Deals party we return where we find Buydig’s eBay store offering the new condition Fujifilm Instax 8 Color Instax Mini 8 Instant Camera for $59 with free shipping, with a limit of five per customer, with five different color choices available.

Note: this is an instant film camera!

Panasonic GF7 w/12-32 & 35-100 for $500 or $525

Costco time! 100 pairs of socks? Check! 200 rolls of toilet paper? Check! 420 chocolate brownies? Check! How about the Panasonic GF7 two lens kit (12-32, 35-100, 32GB SD, case) for $500 with free shipping for Costco members or $525 for non-members (non-members can shop there but pay a 5% surcharge). Membership is $55/year, so it’s a trade-off to consider considering.

PS: as of the time of writing, their website has 25 digital cameras. Note that the Sony cameras are marked as “MEMBERS ONLY”, so only members can purchase those.

The FLIR ONE Thermal Imaging Equipment for Android (not the iOS) is currently discounted to around $212 from its usual price of $250 at Amazon itself. You can order it now if you want to lock the price, but do note that currently the shipping estimate is a nebulous “Usually ships within 1 to 2 months”…
