It’s freebie time! Online course site Udemy is offering, for a limited time, the “Photoshop in Ease: Create World Amazing Graphic Designs” video course for FREE when you enter coupon code MASTERDESIGN over there. The course runs 3 hours long with 26 lectures. It offers lifetime access, and you can watch in a web browser or using their iOS and Android apps.

It has a built-in battery (recharges via microUSB) and attaches to a smartphone or tablet via the headphone input. It is available in three body colors (the light color is the same).

Since this is posted during the Saturday Night Live block, how about some shopping funnies? In an email sent early on Friday to the Staples emailing list, Staples promises their shoppers “New Amazon deals”. Not “Amazing deals” but “Amazon deals”. This is at the very top of the email, in fairly small font, but somehow I managed to spot it 🙂

The Panasonic GM5 is making its farewell tour, but if you are interested in it, you can get it with the 12-32mm kit lens, in new condition, along with $25 promotional rewards and free accessories (16GB Sandisk Extreme SDHC, extra Power2000 battery, Lowepro bag, a card reader and cleaning kit) at Adorama in either the red color option or the black color option… This is one of their Mother’s Day Specials…
The blue color scheme of the Polaroid PIC-300 Instant Film Camera is now on sale for $70 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon herself. Only the blue is on sale, the other colors go for $80. These instant cameras average 4.4 out of 5 based on 740+ customer reviews and have nearly 200 questions answered over there.
Speaking of instant, one 10-pack of Polaroid PIF-300 Instant Film goes for $12 at Adorama (plus shipping) or two 10-packs (total 20 exposures) for $24 with free shipping at Adorama and Amazon (the usual free shipping terms).
Good old PayPal, sending emails of Policy Changes on Saturday night, like politicians trying to keep a scandal under the radar. The new terms will take effect on June 25 in 2016. Of note, gift cards will not longer be covered by PayPal Seller protection. This could potentially affect the availability and prices of gift cards if sellers don’t have as much protection. The future will tell how this will impact things.
From the Impossible Project, the Polaroid 600 Camera is bundled with one Color Film Pack (eight exposures) together for $130 with free shipping at Stacksocial with a limit of three bundles per customer.
PS: it is interesting to go back and forth between digital and instant, where you can take near infinite pictures without additional cost, versus paying additional money for every exposure. This could make an interesting photography essay/exploration for someone to write!
