Panasonic LX100 for $629

The Serious Fixed Lens price-checking is not yielding surprise deals like the Mirrorless Price Check did last night (the best three sold out), but the black Panasonic LX100 is currently selling for $700 at Willoughby’s on Amazon [updated 11/4/16 AM; Amazon’s own price went up; Willoughby’s carries the discount], $800 at B&H and Adorama, but a further price check shows the new condition black LX100 going for $629 with free shipping at Overstock.com. Limit two per customer. You can get it for even less if you are willing to buy imported/grey-market models.

15% off at Barnes & Noble website with coupon

New coupon action at the Barnes & Noble website, coupon AUTUMN15 gets you 15% off one item until 11/6/16. Strategically this is a good idea for items that have the same price everywhere or rarely get discounted. Free shipping with orders of $25 or store pickup where available. If you are a B&N member, you get free shipping regardless ($25/year membership). Of on-topic interest, think photography books, camera guides, how-to books, post-processing/lighting/workflow books, etc.

Adorama Fall Clearance (2700+ items)

Adorama updated their Fall Clearance page currently having 2700+ items. You can use the various options in the left sidebar over there to drill down by product categories or manufacturers, and use the options in the main column to adjust viewing options, eg if you are on a big vertical screen and a fast computer/connection, you can load 60 at a time instead of 15. I can’t digest all 2700+ of them right away, so it is a YMMV adventure if you feel like deal fishing.
