PS: there’s also a used deal for this right above this post.
Today feels like national Panasonic discounting day, here’s another one, this time on the elementproof front, the Panasonic TS30, in three different color options goes for $138 with free shipping at Amazon.
However, the best bang for the buck is Adorama where you can get a boatload of free accessories and you only pay shipping extra (the camera price is around $138 to $139). The freebies include the Corel Software bundle (AfterShot2 PRO, PSP X7, etc), pouch, 16GB card, cleaning kit, floating strap. This offer is available on the black and blue colors. The red color has a price/technical error. Shipping is under $10 for most zipcodes. (The standard options without the extra accessories get free shipping).
Google Play is having another 99c app play and among the options available in this sale are two popular photography apps, Camera Zoom FX Premium by androidslide and Photo Lab PRO Photo Editor! by VicMan LLC. This is a limited time sale (I don’t know when it expires). Other well known apps participating include Nova Launcher Prime, PowerAmp Full, and Ultimate Guitar Tabs.
On the high speed storage front, Dell Home is offering the 1TB Samsung Portable SSD T3 portable USB 3.1 Gen1 external hard drive for $400 alogn with a $100 Dell promotional eGift Card automatically added to your shopping cart when you add the SSD to your cart. No coupon is needed. The eGift Card magically appears in your shopping cart while this promotion is running. The promo egift card will be emailed to you 10-20 days after your order ships and must be used up within 90 days after receipt. That’s why it’s a promotional gift card versus a conventional gift card. Offer ends 7/4/2016 6:59am Dell time or earlier if sold out.
In comparison, this goes for $370 at Amazon by Amazon itself but without a promotional gift card.

A comment by S.W. Anderson in the Hasselblad MF Mirrorless post got me price-checking medium format cameras, and it looks like the first generation Pentax 645D body only is currently going for $4000 in new condition at Amazon by Amazon actual. This is no longer available from B&H and Adorama. Amazon’s shipping estimate is 1-4 months, so keep that in mind if you need it to arrive quickly.
Or if you are a more adventurous shopper, there are a couple of eBay listings on it:
+ New Condition for $3150 with Best Offer Enabled (this is a private eBay listing for extra protection; ships from Los Angeles)
+ Used Condition for $2650 [CORRECTED!] (ships from Delaware; listing says used in-studio only with 3269 actuations)
+ the eBay listings above are from individuals, not retailers
In comparison, the latest model, the Pentax 645Z, goes for $7000 in new condition at B&H Photo (with 4% rewards = $280~) and Adorama (with 4% rewards = $280~). There’s also a 645Z Comprehensive Starter Kit that goes for $16,000 and includes three lenses (55/2.8, 90/2.8, 28-45/4.5, extra accessories and the protective case you see in the pictures.
