Starts 12pm ET Today: FREE to Watch Canon 6D II Fast Start Online Class

Starting at 12pm eastern today (Monday 10/30/17), you can watch LIVE and for FREE the world premiere (it is recording LIVE) of the John Greengo Canon EOS 6D Mark II Fast Start class. You can watch it for free while it is recording. If you want to watch it in future dates, you can purchase it for a pre-order special of $34 or wait for a future free re-airing.

This is the first of two “Fast Track” camera training classes premiering this week. Per the Creative LIVE On-Air Schedule:

+ Tuesday 12pm ET: Nikon D7500 Fast Start

+ November 4th: Adobe Lightroom CC Photo Editing: The Complete Guide

B&N coupons: 15% off $50+ OR 20% off $100+

If you like to buy books at the Barnes and Noble website, they have a new promotion running until 10/31/17 at 11:59PM, coupon code LETSREAD gets you a discount depending on your order total:

+ 15% off orders of $50+
+ 20% off orders of $100+
+ the usual coupon exclusions apply

Independently of the coupon, a redistribution of the old Apple Price Fixing e-Book Settlement is in progress, so if you find small store credits in your e-book seller accounts, this is probably it.

Strategically this is good for books and such that have the same price everywhere, whether they are big photography books or camera guides, or instructional guides. Publishers love having price control, so coupons like this are a good way to get a discount on books that are price fixed.

The Clearance section is another place to look for deals. You can drill down the sub-categories or go directly to the Photography Clearance section. There’s also this 30% – 75% off Clearance page.

2pk Lens-Shaped Coffee Mugs for $11.70 after coupon

Coupon code SALE3 drops 10% off the price of lens-shaped coffee mugs at Groupon Goods. The 2-pack goes for $13 before coupon, with the coupon dropping it to $11.70. The 1-packs go for $8, with the coupons dropping them to $7.20.

Free shipping with pre-coupon orders of $34.99 or higher, so you may want to combine these with something else at Groupon if you want to get free shipping. Or you can sign up for their 90-day Prime-like prepaid free shipping service for $15 and get free shipping without the $34.99+ prerequisite (on eligible items sold and shipped by Groupon itself, not 3rd-party sellers).

The coupon expires Tuesday night (10/31/17).

60pk Fujifilm Instax Mini Film Value Pack for $34

The 60 sheet Fujifilm Instax Mini Film Value Pack is currently on sale for $34.49 at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of up to three value packs per customer. This comes out to $11.50 per 20-pack.

This is perhaps a price-match of sorts to the Groupon coupon SALE3 that drops the price of the 60 sheet Value Pack from $38 to $34.20 with free shipping. The coupon terms are limit one unit per deal, so only one 60-pack goes for $34.20. The other four will be at $38 each. Free shipping because the order total is over $35 before the coupon.

20% off custom print offers w/Groupon coupon

Groupon has a new coupon, coupon code SALE3 gets you 20% off Local Deals, which include most of the custom photo print offers. You can use the coupon on up to three separate Local offers.

You can also use the same coupon on Groupon Goods with a 10% off discount and up to three different offers. This is where physical products reside, like cameras, photo accessories, etc.

The coupon expires Tuesday 10/31/17 night.

In-Stock Now: Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (Factory Unlocked USA version) for $950

Flagship time! Hide your wallets! The new condition factory-unlocked USA version with USA warranty of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 smartphone flagship with dual OIS back cameras, in the Orchid Gray color scheme, is, as of the time of writing, in-stock and ready to ship to your front door for $950 at Amazon by Amazon itself. The other color (“Midnight Black”) is only in-stock by 3rd-party sellers.

It is very important when buying phones at Amazon to pay attention to the seller of record and the listing, and also double-check to verify. It is chaos and disorder when it comes to the 3rd-party sellers over there 🙂

But that’s not all. If “Orchid Gray” is not your thing, and you are comfortable with International Variants (not the US model with US warranty but compatible with some GSM carriers – check carrier and frequencies before buying), the “Maple Gold” is in-stock for $950 at B&H Photo, while the “Midnight Black” goes for $1000. These are International versions!

The US versions are not yet in-stock at B&H Photo. B&H Photo will begin accepting orders again Saturday night, so they won’t sell out, giving you time to research the phones 🙂
