YI M1 w/12-40mm for $299 or add 45mm f1.8 for $379 total [M43]

YI is taking Prime Day seriously with actual discounts, unlike many of the MAP-obsessed more famous iLC camera manufacturers. Their YI M1 with 12-40mm Micro Four Thirds camera is now on sale for $299 instead of its regular price of $350 in the silver or black color schemes by YI with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, so they are Prime eligible.

Their two other kits are also discounted (two lens kit, or with 42.5mm f1.8 instead of 12-40). The best bang for the buck is the YI M1 with 12-40mm and 45mm f1.8 for $379, so essentially $80 more gets you the 45mm f1.8 lens added to your bundle.

+ these are open to everyone, they are not restricted to Prime members!

Biggest Flashpoint Studio and Lighting 2-Day Sale Yet (50 options)

It looks like Prime Day is becoming an industry-wide sale day. There’s also a Dell Refurbished coupon going live tomorrow at 9am Central ~ the post is scheduled to go live, so I don’t have to functional for it post 🙂

But that’s not all. Adorama has launched their biggest Flashpoint Studio and Lighting 2-Day Sale yet, with around fifty items participating in the sale.

Due to the Prime Day madness, I can’t produce a detailed list of these, but there’s a bit of everything in studio and lighting gear, Monolights (Bowens mount), Ring lights, Power Packs, On-Camera Flashes, receivers/transmitters, reflectors, panel lights, strobes, and at the very bottom of the page, accessories.

YMMV

There are recurring offers that “bribe” you with a $10 Amazon credit to change your default Amazon credit or debit card to a specific bank and type. I’ve seen this happen with various, eg Discover and Citibank. These offers usually appear in the Shopping Cart, and also in internal ad banners while you are browsing around the Amazon website.

Especially this time of the year, it pays to keep an eye out for out of the blue offers. Some may be targeted. A lot of these offers can be “once per account”, so if you had previously taken advantage of it, you may not be eligible for it again. Or at least until they reset their counters or change how they do it 🙂

+ NOTE: if you see any errors you’d like corrected, please leave a comment or use the online contact form. If you see an error, it means I don’t know about it, otherwise I would have corrected it 🙂 I love corrections, so don’t be shy 🙂
