(ENDED) Pop Photo or Outdoor Photographer for $5 each per year
Pre-order the new Sigma 24-35mm f2 (C/N/Sig)
If anyone remembers to look up forum histories, the new Sigma 24-35mm f2 lens will make some eat digital (probably not actual) crow. This new lens is now available for pre-order for $1000 even at Adorama in the Canon mount or the Nikon mount or the Sigma mount.
Post Mortem on Prime Day
Hype is a double edged sword, and just like others before (and probably many more in the future) Amazon found out the hard way. After an unprecedented amount of hype (especially by Amazon’s fairly low key standards), Prime Day arrived, and it did not live to that level of hype. With that hype level, probably anything short of $100 iPads under every chair (stand-in for very popular fast-selling item offered at a crazy discount), would have generated varying levels of disappointment.
The internet had its fun with #PrimeDayFail quips (see some of them assembled at Heavy and Gizmodo among many others).
More after the jump since this is a “meta” post. It is a long boring post, it can help you fall asleep and you don’t need a prescription for it 🙂
Corel AfterShot 2 for $27, AfterShot 2 Pro for $55 (with free WinZip and Fastflick)

NOTE: when you add software to cart, the shopping cart may automatically add a “download insurance” service for $8 more. If you don’t want that, just click on the grey “x” in its ledger line in the shopping cart to get rid of it.

Website is back online!
Unfortunately due to a problem with the web hosting company (hosting and database servers having latency issues), this blog was down for about 45 minutes in the middle of the madness. Bad timing 🙁
In case of future problems like this, there are two plan Bs to consider:
+ the full-text RSS feed for previously posted deals. It is hosted on Feedburner which caches the posts, so it works even if the website is down and out
+ new deals will temporarily get posted on the main Twitter at @1001noisycamera (no final “S” because 15-character limit)
+ both the RSS feed and the Twitter feed are posted on the main blog which is hosted by a different hosting company in a different state
All apologies for the inconvenience. Now I must try to catch up once again 🙂

Olympus E-M5 w/14-42mm (three options) for $500

Click on the various tabs to see the three different kits (annotated screenshot below)
