Prime Day 2017 begins Monday July 10 at 9pm ET

On top of the two new Canon DSLRs, there’s more news tonight! Amazon has officially revealed and expanded their Prime Day! This year, it will start at 9pm Eastern on Monday July 10 and continue until 3am Eastern on Wednesday, for a total of 30 hours of non-stop shopping action!

We will have “event coverage” here when it starts Monday night (July 10), which is less than two weeks away!

Pre-order new Canon SL2 for $550 (body) or $700 (w/18-55)

Canon took their time, but they have finally revealed a new SL-series DSLR, the aptly named SL2 is now out and about, available for pre-order for $550 in body only, or for $700 with the 18-55mm EF-S IS STM. The new SL2 has a Vari-Angle Touch-Screen, a “twist and shout” screen 🙂

+ SL2 Body Only for $550 at Amazon and Adorama and B&H Photo

+ SL2 with 18-55 EF-S IS STM for $700 at B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon

This has been added to the New Cameras of 2017, with the DSLRs now taking a 7-6 “lead” over the Mirrorless cameras 🙂

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.

Wedn: LG G5 for $250, Yuneec Q500+ for $405, Etc

One of the day-long daily-deals at Amazon is the new condition unlocked LG G5 offered for $250 with free shipping.

NOTE + UPDATE + CORRECTION: the seller is not Amazon itself, but 3rd-party seller “BREED” (a rather unfortunate seller name, but I’m digressing). This is model H830 (you can check online to see which variant this is). I do not know what the warranty situation is.

This is a quasi-modular phone that was not well-received by the reviewer industrial complex. Offer ends by 3am ET on Thursday.

But if you are interested in it, the LG Cam Plus module is on sale for around $10. This is a camera controls module, not an additional camera.

In addition to today’s B&H Yuneec daily deals, the Yuneec Typhoon Q500+ is the Woot Electronics daily deal offered for $400 plus $5 flat shipping until 1am ET on Thursday.

Meanwhile of the Best Buy daily deals is the 128GB Sandisk USB 3.0 Ultra Fit Flash Drive for $28 with free shipping. These thumbelina size are great for keeping in laptops or tablets or using in media players and portable storage devices.

Additional “deals of the day” will be added here…
