Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
The Nikon D7500 body only has been steadily in-stock, but not the D7500 with 18-140mm. However, as of this recheck, the D7500 with 18-140mm kit is in-stock at its current price of $1550 at B&H Photo and by various 3rd parties at Amazon.
For all the Nikon D7500 body only options, check the Stock Status Tracker.
The silver Fuji X100S Big Sensor Prime has been harder to find in-stock for $1299 at recognizable online retailers, but as of the time of writing, two sellers have it in-stock and shipping for $1299, Kenmore Camera on eBay (one left) and Best Buy on eBay (limit three per buyer).
The black color scheme is also in-stock, you can get it for $1299 at Amazon by Amazon itself (limit three per buyer) and OneCALL (Huppin’s).
For the big picture, check the Stock Status Tracker.
The Canon G9X goes for $400 in new condition with various free accessories (eg Adorama) but it also has to contest with the Canon G9X II which goes for $430. So in other words, if you want to get the first generation model, you may as well go the refurbished route…
… because the refurbished first generation Canon G9X is on sale for $299 with a free neckstrap and a free camera case and a 1-year Canon warranty at the official Canon USA Outlet store in either the black or the brown color schemes.
The new condition Canon 80D body only goes for $1100, so this is another place where you can save by going refurbished but still get the full warranty. The refurbished Canon 80D with 18-55 goes for $799 at the official Canon USA outlet with a 1-year warranty from Canon. This is the sale price as the refurbished 80D body only. You can always trade, sell, gift, or experiment upon the 18-55 lens if you don’t need it. This one of their 4th of July DSLR sales.
PS: the refurbished 80D with 18-135mm goes for $300 more ($1099).
Canon launched this week the 6D Mark II for $2000, but if you want to get Canon 35mm full frame for almost half of that price, the first generation Canon 6D body only kit is on sale for $1099 with free shipping at the Canon USA Outlet store with a 1-year Canon USA warranty. This is part of their 4th of July Savings sale.
The new condition price for the first generation 6D is $1399 at the moment (eg Adorama – page down to see all options). With a new model coming out, strategically, if you are getting the previous generation model, going refurbished or used makes more sense, especially if you can get it with a full warranty. You can put the difference towards a future upgrade or towards moar moar moar lenses.
Good until 7/4/17 PM, coupon code 15JULY4TH17 gets you 15% off one item at the Barnes and Noble website. Excluded are LEGO (in Toys Dept), Nook Devices, Gift Cards, and Nook ebooks. Strategically this is good for items that have the same prices everywhere or rarely go on sale. Free shipping with $25+ orders or if you are a paying member ($25/year). They have a variety of photography books and camera guides and photo imaging (Photoshop, LR, etc).
The Clearance section is another place to look for deals. You can drill down the sub-categories or go directly to the Photography Clearance section.
If you are a fan of the RED professional video cameras and B&H Photo, we have good news for you! The RED cameras and their accessories are now available for purchase at B&H Photo. A total of 21 options are available at B&H at the moment. They are currently in pre-order status. RED are specialty products, so you can’t stock them the same way you stock Canon Digital Rebels 🙂
We already mentioned pre-orders for the new Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 DSLR lens in Canon and Nikon, but since then, pre-order bundles with FREE accessories have been created for the same price of $1199 by Beach Camera through Amazon. The freebies are:
+ Bounce Zoom Slave FLASH (unspecified maker)
+ Corel PAINTSHOP Pro X9 software
+ Neoprene LENS POUCH 8″

+ 82mm UV, Polarizer & FLD Deluxe FILTER KIT (set of 3 + carrying case)
+ lens hood
+ lens cap keeper, memory card wallet, cleaning kit, air blower, lens cleaning pen, and assorted accessotrinkets
CORRECTION: the lens price is $1200. The original post said the price was $1999.
It’s the season of f2.8 zoom lenses 🙂 Tamron has a new one out, the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 is now available for pre-ordering for $1200 [CORRECTED] in the Canon and Nikon DSLR systems at Adorama and B&H Photo and OneCALL and Beach Camera thru Amazon (with extras)
In Tamron-speak, “VC” is image stabilization, “Di” is digitally optimized (not APS-C, just digitally optimized). “Di II” is APS-C.
This lens too has been added to the New Lenses of 2017 tracking page. This is the fifth f2.8 zoom lens announced this year!

The new condition Vivitar DF-383 Series 1 Power Zoom AF flash for the Nikon system is on sale for a limited time for $60 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo. With many B&M camera stores closing, Vivitar brand sales must have been impacted the most since many stores had them as “budget alternatives”, and most people would not line up to buy Vivitar the same way they’d do for Canon and Nikon and such.
A4C (All 4 Cellular) has a lot of older products, some refurbished, some used, some new, and it is of interest if you like to dig for previous-generation bargains. More so now, with coupon code JUNE20 getting you 20% off almost everything at A4C. Notable exceptions are the daily deals and iPads. Everything at A4C gets free shipping, even if it’s a $2 trinket. And you don’t have to be a Prime member 😉 The coupon ends 6/30/17 or earlier if preallocated coupon quantity is depleted.
We rarely mention any of the high-end tripod systems, but there’s a sale of one of them. B&H Photo is offering, for a limited time, the Cartoni D608 Delta Aluminum Tripod System for $3999 plus shipping.
One could buy 400 budget tripods for this price, this is obviously a niche within a niche type of a $product$ 🙂
On the serious lighting front, the Elinchrom Quadra Living Light Kit with Lead Battery, S Head and Transmitter is on sale for a limited time for $599 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo, this too among their latest offers.
If you want to take your Panasonic GH5 audio to the next level beyond what’s outside the camera box, B&H Photo is offering a Panasonic GH5 Body Only Audio Kit for $2599 with free expedited shipping. You get the standard Panasonic GH5 body only kit, along with these four audio-related items that comprise B&H’s audio kit:
