Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
Adorama is having an instant savings sale on Vanguard Aluminum Tripods with seven models participating, with prices ranging from $110 to $180. They are part of the 235, 263, and 264 lines.
Meanwhile the Manfrotto Stile Veloce V Backpack, model MBSB390-5BB, is on sale for $60 with free shipping.
A 20% off green clip-on coupon drops the price of the LensShifter Blue to $18~ and the LensShifter Red to $20. Free shipping for Prime or with a $25+ order. Only items sold and shipped by Amazon itself are eligible for the 20% off clip-on coupon.
If you are a fan of the Fujifilm Instax Mini Monochrome Film, it is currently on sale in the 10-exposure packet for $9 at Amazon by Amazon itself. Limit up to three per customer. Free shipping for Prime members even if you buy only one (it is not an Add-ON item). Non-Prime members need the usual $25+ minimum purchase.
On the same listing you will also notice that some of the other instant films are on sale. Check also the multi-packs if you need more than ten exposures for a particular kind.
CORRECTION 11/20/17 the blog post title originally said $1100 instead of $1200. Those sneaky $1199 prices still trick me 🙁
The Sony a6500 body went for $1500 a couple of weeks ago when I posted the Mirrorless Price Charts but as of today’s massive Instant Savings madness, it is now down to $1200 with free shipping at authorized dealers as follows:
+ At Amazon where you can also see all the instant savings bundles with participating lenses; 5% cashback with Prime VISA or Prime Store card
+ At Adorama with free Corel software, 16GB SD, 24/7 TC holster, etc
+ At B&H Photo with a 64GB Sandisk SDXC card and shoulder bag
On the same listings shown above at the above retailers you will find the “a6500 with 16-50mm” kit going for $1300, and the two lens kit (16-50, 55-210) going for $1450, and the “with 18-105” for $1750, and the “with 16-70” for $2100.
Last night when I posted the Nikon D750 Free Battery Grip promotions, Amazon’s humans, hybrids, and bots were asleep and did not have their own offers running.
But as of this recheck, Amazon created its own bundle, it’s a nice one, you get a FREE $80 AmazonBasics Hiker Camera and Laptop Backpack (link is for reference only; you don’t add it to shopping cart separately), and a 128GB Samsung EVO Select microSD (with matching SD adapter included), along of course with the Nikon MB-D16 Multi Battery Power Pack/Grip for D750.
So the bundles are, the Nikon D750 body only with the MB-D16 battery grip, AB Hiker Backpack and 128GB Samsung EVO microSD for $1500 or the Nikon D750 with 24-120 with the same three freebies for $2000.
All items will be included in the shopping cart automatically and priced accordingly. Amazon finally figured out how to do consumer-friendly bundles 🙂
If you pay with an Amazon Chase Prime VISA credit card, or the Amazon house store credit card, you get 5% back as a statement credit, which is a pretty nice amount considering the price of the cameras, $75 for the body only or $100 for the “with 24-120”.
If you are not a Prime member, but you have the Amazon Chase VISA credit card, you get 3% back as a statement credit, still a solid $45 or $60. Or if you have a Discover credit card, they are running 5% caskback promotions for Q4 of 2017. Note however that the maximum is $1500 per credit card for the quarter (October 1st until December 31st).
I suppose that’s one of the benefits of Amazon having its own brands of products like AmazonBasics, they can bundle them up as they please.
CORRECTION: the blog-post title said Mark IV instead of Mark V! This post is for the Mark V! All apologies for the confusion!
The Sony RX100 Mark V is the current “leader” of the RX 100 series and it was going for $1000 a couple of weeks ago when I posted the Fixed Lens Cameras Price Charts.
Fast forward to today, and its price dropped to $950 and it is getting a $50 house gift card along with free accessories as follows:
+ At B&H Photo you get a $50 B&H e-gift card, a 32GB Sandisk Extreme SD, and a case
+ At Adorama you get a $50 gift certificate (it is #6 in the list of freebies in the linked page), along with a 32GB Lexar SD, Corel software, Lowepro pouch, and a cleaning kit
+ At Amazon [CORRECTED LINK] you get a $50 physical Amazon gift card in a classically styled black gift card box
+ this happens rarely at Amazon, but if the gift card arrives before the camera ships, you can use the value of the gift card towards the price of the camera. Billing Inception 🙂
If you have a Canon 6D or plan to buy one and need another battery grip or one that won’t break the bank Canon-style, the latest Adorama featured sales include the new condition Green Extreme BG-E13 Battery Grip for Canon EOS 6D for $33 plus shipping (around $5, may vary slightly by location).
But that’s not all, other Green Extreme Battery grips are on sale as well:
+ Green Extreme for Canon 5D Mark IV for $39 with free S&H
+ Green Extreme for Canon 7D Mark II for $33 plus shipping (around $6)
+ Green Extreme for Canon 70D or 80D for $33 plus shipping (around $7)
If you are a fan of Sears, to the eBay Deals we go where PayPal Digital Gifts has an unnecessary complicated offer. Buy TWO $50 Sears e-gift cards in the same shopping cart, and get $15 off your total. This is a 15% off discount. You pay $85 and you get $100 in gift cards. No coupon is needed, this happens automatically in the shopping cart while this promotion is running. As with all PayPal Digital Gifts offers , these are emailable gift cards, not delivered by mail. Limit two per customer.

Bright primes have their own cult following, after all, photography is all about the light! A number of SLR Magic Cine E-mount primes are now on sale as follows:

+ yes, it still doesn’t get old, a company named “SLR Magic” that mostly makes mirrorless gear 🙂
The Canon 77D body only went for $800 when I posted the APS-C DSLR Price Chart but this week’s round of instant savings madness drops the 77D body only to $749 at B&H Photo (with 2% rewards) and by various at Amazon (some 3rd-party sellers offer free accessories for the same price) and at Adorama with free 16GB SD card, 24/7 TC holster bag, Corel software and more.
The other two official kits mirror the discounting, the 77D with 18-55 goes for $899 and the 77D with 18-135 goes for $1149.
Fuji X-T1 time again! The free 35mm promotion has NOT returned, but B&H Photo has a new set of discounts on the camera in new condition:
+ X-T1 body only for $649
+ X-T1 body only with Extras for $649
+ Extras: 16GB Sandisk SD, Watson extra battery, Ruggard holster, microfiber cloth
+ X-T1 Graphite Silver body only for $749 with $30~ promotional rewards

And so it begins, today’s madness of posts with the Samsung Chromebook Plus discount that was promised. It is now down to $349 in new condition at Amazon by Amazon itself and Samsung itself and Office Depot and B&H Photo and Adorama.
This is a great combo if you want both a new ChromeOS touchscreen laptop and an Android tablet with a 3:2 aspect ratio and a built-in stylus. If the included stylus is too small for some of your pixel peeping, fear not, there is also a Samsung-blessed made-in-Germany Staedtler Noris Digital Samsung Pencil (EMR Technology, Yellow Black, GP-U999ERIPAAB) that is now on sale for $17 in new condition. IF the color scheme is familiar, it is the famous German pencil manufacturer. It averages 4.3 out of 5 based on 74 customer reviews. This not only works with these Chromebooks but also various other Samsung Note phones, tablets and laptops.
Speaking of others, the Samsung Chromebook PRO with the Intel processor had a parallel discount, dropping to $450 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself (limit five) and at B&H Photo and Samsung itself.
PS: the Amazon same-day delivery window closes in a couple of hours, the PLUS is calling me at this price 🙂 And the discount on the Staedtler stylus is a sign 🙂 #Temptation
PS2: note that these only have two multi-purpose USB-C ports (one on each side) and a microSD slot. There are no full-size USB ports, no HDMI, no Ethernet.
