Panasonic G9 returns to Amazon
A few days ago the option to pre-order the Panasonic G9 at Amazon disappeared, but as of the time of writing, the option to pre-order this for $1700 has returned at Amazon. I have no clue why it disappeared. AI Bots Gone Wild? 🙂
You can see how it stacks up price-wise with other mirrorless camera in last week’s Mirrorless Price Chart. Its announcement came just as I was preparing the charts. If I was a day early, it wouldn’t have made it. So sometimes being late pays off 🙂
Speaking of Panasonic, a number of their M43rds cameras, lenses and fixed lens cameras are on sale. You can find them all under the Panasonic category, or under the Mirrorless section of the Black Friday 2017 Situation Room. It looks like mayhaps they are trying to steal a march on the other camera manufacturers by rolling out their sales earlier.
Wednesday: Usual Camera/Photo accessories, Etc
There are over 50 items listed in the Camera & Photo lightning deals of the Amazon Gold Box.

YMMV: 8% back in eBay Bucks [no minimum]
It’s the Union of the Two Towers ~ in a good way ~ if you are an eBay shopper.
As previously mentioned, running until next Monday morning is a big 20% off coupon promotion for all.
And here comes the second, stackable offer: IF you are participating in the eBay Rewards program, you may have also been invited to participate in another Bonus Bucks promotion, you get 8% eBay Bucks without a minimum purchase amount until Thursday 11/16/17 at 11:59pm pacific time.
First you have to manually activate the offer from the eBay email or your eBay messages (if invited/selected to participate). Some exclusions apply as usual and the maximum rewards you can earn is $100 per transaction, and $500 during the promotional period.
A good place to look for ideas are the eBay Deals along with the Trending Deals (shows only 100 trending deals, less overwhelming to look at than their main deals page). There’s also a dedicated search box there that searches only the Deals, not everything else on eBay.
Another way to look for ideas is our eBay Category posts here…
More Black Friday Ads Digested
Another buffet of BF ads has been digested in our Black Friday Ads Digest of 2017 with another handful of stores including Overstock, Microsoft and more. The new additions have been integrated to the various categories as usual. The biggest addition with this group was a mystery GoPRO HERO5 bundle at Overstock with lots of accessories but no price given 🙁
Here’s an example of the breakdown by category. As you can see, by grouping them together, the Nikon D3400 two lens kit that is offered at many places only appears once in the list, making it easier to skim and scan:
As usual, most of these will be price-matched by the internet sellers by (or often before) the actual Black Friday.
Still available: Pentax K-1 Silver Limited Edition
The Pentax K-1 Silver Limited Edition (body only with official battery grip) is out of stock and cannot be ordered at Amazon and B&H Photo, but hope is not lost!

Yes, Adorama has an official credit card, offered by Comenity Capital Bank per the listing over there.

In-Stock Alert: Firefox 57 (Windows) blazing fast browser
We have an in-stock alert of a different kind! Version 57 of Firefox for Windows is now out, and it’s a blazer. This time for real! This was a long-planned version to de-slugfest-ify Firefox and it’s working so far. Very noticeable difference in speed! Only issue is that the “New Tab” page is pre-populated with crap, but you can quickly remove them by clicking on the Settings Wheel (from the New Tab page) and unclicking the five things that are defaulted on).
More details on the new release via Techmeme including a profile of the new developments at C|Net.

PSA: Sony RX1 and RX1R starting to disappear
The Sony RX1 and RX1R 35mm full frame fixed lens cameras are starting to disappear from retailers. Both are gone from Adorama (RX1R and RX1R), while at B&H Photo both cameras are marked as “Special Order” (2-4 weeks) for both the RX1 and the RX1R.
As of the time of writing, both the RX1 and the RX1R remain readily available at Amazon but each camera has a limit of up to three per customer. The price remains at $2400 as you can see at the Fixed Lens Cameras charts of last week.
Of course the used cameras won’t magically disappear. You can get it used for less than half the price, it is available in “USED – Bargain” condition for $1199 at KEH Camera with a 180-day warranty from KEH Camera.

The Canon 5DS R body only goes for $3699 at authorized Canon dealers in new condition (eg Adorama), but if you are comfortable with mail-in rebates and prepaid AMEX gift cards, just like the 5D Mark IV, you can get the 5DS R body only with the PIXMA PRO 100 printer and 50pk SG-201 paper for $20 less after mail-in rebate.

Canon 5D Mark IV Body with Pixma PRO 100 and Paper for $3279 after MIR ($350 AMEX GC)
The Canon 5D Mark IV goes for $3300 in new condition at various authorized dealers. But if you are not afraid of mail in-rebates and prepaid AMEX gift cards, you can actually pay slightly less (after rebate) and get the Pixma PRO 100 printer and 50pk SG-201 paper as well! Let’s start from the beginning…
At B&H Photo you buy the bundle that consists of the Canon 5D Mark IV body only, the PIXMA PRO 100 printer, and the 50pk Canon SG-201 photo paper for $3629 with free shipping. After you receive the order, make sure all is well, and submit the mail-in rebate, a few weeks later, you will receive a $350 prepaid AMEX gift card by mail. This will make it $3279 after rebate. That’s $20 less than the camera without the printer.
