(ENDED) Sony a7r III gets a December 7 estimate

As of a 12/5/17 at 8:33pm ET, the estimate has moved from December 7 to December 18. This is likely because more pre-orders came in to eat up the upcoming inventory or something changed infrastructure-wise (eg delays at the ports and such).

For the big picture, check the Stock Status Tracker

The Sony a7r III body only now has a December 7 estimate (as of the time of writing) at B&H Photo. Keep in mind, estimates can change over time…

ODP/OMX: 100% back in Duracell AA/AAA Alkalines

A new shopping week is here in the Office Depot Rewards offers, running between December 3-9 in 2017. Just like before, you can buy one or two 16-packs of single use AA or AAA Duracell batteries, in-store or online. You pay full price, and a few weeks later, you receive the price of the batteries as an Office Depot reward. This time it is a 100% Reward offer, not a 1c after Rewards. Hooray for a penny saved 🙂 Sales tax not rewarded as usual.

If you are looking for other supplies, they also have 100% back rewards on select binders, 1c after rewards on Boise X9 copy paper, and even more copy paper offers. It’s a season of printing 🙂

Refurbished Canon M3 Body w/1-YR W for $329 [or w/15-45 for $399]

If you already have Canon mirrorless system lenses, or you are planning to use the lens mount adapter, or don’t want/need the “with 15-45mm” kits, another Canon mirrorless camera on the way out is the M3. The body remains available with some free accessories for $429 at Adorama, same price as mid early November when we posted the Mirrorless Price Charts.

But if you want to shave $100 off that price, and still get a 1-year warranty from Canon, you can get it for $329 in manufacturer refurbished condition (manurefurb) where it is one of the 38 cameras in their refurbished iLC sale.

It is in-stock as of the time of writing. I’m including this phrase in the Canon refurbished deal posts because some of the offers they have there are “out of stock” and cannot be ordered. By typing it in, it’s another safeguard in preventing me from posting unpurchasable deals 🙂

UPDATE: but if you want a “take pictures with” kit, you can get it in either black or white for $399 with a 1-year warranty in manufacturer refurbished condition. Both colors are in-stock as of the time of writing.
