More new Monday arrivals, the Rokinon AF 50mm f/1.4 FE Lens for Sony E is now in-stock and ready to latch on to your Sony E-mount camera for $699 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo.
This offer ends tonight (Monday 8/8/16) at Adorama PIX you can get 8×10 inch prints for 99c each or metallic paper for $1.34 each or Deep Matte paper for $2 each. Shipping is extra unless your order total is $49+. No coupon is needed for this, it’s a sale on the website.
The Nikon D7200 body only goes for $1050 with a handful of freebies at authorized dealers (eg Adorama). But if you are comfortable with imported grey-market gear without a warranty, you can get it for $750 with free shipping by Photo4Less on eBay (99.9%, New York) with a limit of five per customer. Over 500 units got sold from this listing so far.
The above is a high risk purchase, a happy medium for some may be going the manufacturer-refurbished route, you can get the D7200 body only along with the 55-200m f4-5.6 DX VR II lens and the Wu-1a wireless thing for $850 with a 90 day Nikon warranty by Adorama. All included items are manufacturer refurbished. You can always sell/trade/gift/experiment-upon the 55-200 lens if you don’t want/need it.
In-stock alert! The Rotolight Anova Pro Cine SFX Daylight LED Studio is now in-stock and ready to ship for $1500 with free expedited shipping at Adorama… If you have Amazon Gift Cards to spend, you can also get it for the same price by Adorama on Amazon.
If you are a Prime member, you get free 2-day Prime shipping even though this ships from Adorama. This is one of only a few items (percentage wise considering Amazon’s inventory) participating in this relatively new promotion where Prime members get the free 2-day shipping even if the item ships directly from a 3rd-party seller. You can tell this by looking at the product listing closely, look at the annotated sections below:
It is a day of shopping news today, we have an interesting oddity, some of Amazon’s own hardware devices have been discounted to new low prices across the internet, at various competing online retailers, but not on Amazon’s own website! This is a 1-day sale. It is a very interesting move, it’s like their hardware department is trying to convince competing retailers to invest in carrying/selling Amazon branded devices.
Example of these sales, the latest Paperwhite goes for $90 at Staples and already sold out at Sears. Their 10-inch Fire HD tablet (with microSD) goes for $150 at Sears, the Amazon Echo goes for $130 at B&H Photo, a handful of these on sale at Best Buy and so forth.
This is a 1-day sale, so it is possible that Amazon is planning to discount them on their own website after this sale ends. They’ve already been playing with rotating sales. But this is only a crackpot theory. I have no clue what’s going to happen.
PS: maybe they need to have a reality TV show of all the meetings where the Hardware people were pitching this and the people running the Online Store were screaming NOOOOOOO! 🙂
We have some meta shopping news! Walmart opened up their wallet and paid $3 billion in cash to buy trendy online shopping service Jet.com. The guy running Jet will take over Walmart’s US operations. Details and discussion of the purchase via Techmeme.
Jet has some interesting ideas in online shopping, for example, a built-in volume discount that adjusts dynamically based on how many units of an item you buy by pressing the “+” and “-” buttons. Volume Discounts are not a new thing, for example Adorama has had them for many years, but Jet made them visual and made the volume discounts bigger.
Jet also introduced something a bit disturbing for non-consumable purchases, you don’t know who the actual seller/fulfiller of a purchase is ahead of time. This may not be an issue if you are buying trash bags or music CDs, but it’s very important when it comes to authorized dealer status and things of that nature. Even for something as small as a memory card this is a big issue since there are quite a few fakes out there.
The digital side of Sears is among the eBay Deals, where PayPal Digital Gifts is offering $100 Sears Gift Cards by email for $88 with free email delivery. Limit three per customer. Over 2600 sold so far. Sears sells cameras but they also have a number of well-known online dealers selling there (Cameta, Adorama, BuyDig/Beach, etc).
