Used Nikon D800E for $1400+, Refurbished for $2050

Nikon has a lot of 35mm full frame DSLRs these days, more so in their D8XX-series. Coming out in a few days/weeks is the D850 for $3300 [see Stock Status Tracker], coinciding with the anniversary festivities.

If you want a Nikon D8XX DSLR but want a much lower price, the Nikon D800E is available in USED Condition at Adorama for $1400 plus shipping in “Excellent Minus (E-)” condition with a 90-day warranty from Adorama. Better conditions go for more. These are used, not manufacturer refurbished.

But if you prefer them in officially blessed manufacturer refurbished condition with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty, Adorama is offering them for $2050.

In-Stock Alert: Olympus E-M10 III Body for $650

The “smartphonization” of digital cameras (the addition of smartphone-like features, Wifi, touchscreens, NFC, companion apps, syncing, etc) has the added benefits to manufacturers of encouraging photographers to follow the upgrade cycles, similar to the smartphone upgrade cycles.

With that master of the obvious generalization out of the way, we have a new in-stock alert! The recently revealed [see New Cameras of 2017] Olympus E-M10 III body only is now in-stock and ready to ship for its starting price of $650 at Adorama in the black color scheme and the silver color scheme! Free expedited shipping is included!

If instead you prefer a previous generation model, getting reliable used (eg from places that test and stand behind their used products like KEH, B&H, Adorama) or manufacturer refurbished can save you money while lowering the risks of a eBay purchases from unreliable sellers.

Which brings us to the Olympus Outlet store currently offering the E-M10 II body only in manufacturer refurbished condition for $300 with a 90-day Olympus USA warranty, or with the 14-42mm EZ lens for $430.

Refurbished Nikon D7200 body for $710

The Nikon D7200 body only is no longer “the latest generation”. The Nikon D7500 is the latest APS-C model going for $1250 as body only [see Stock Status Tracker].

The Nikon D7200 body only, in new condition, at authorized dealers, it goes for $1000 with some free accessories, such as Adorama and various at Amazon.

If you are gonna get the previous generation, you might as well pay less by going the manufacturer refurbished route and that’s where Adorama comes in, offering the D7200 body only in manufacturer refurbished condition with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty for $710 with free shipping. That’s almost $300 less than new condition.

Optionally, under the yellow “Special Offer” section, you can add to the camera with a combined purchase discount promotion the 1-Year Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan for +$100, instead of its regular price of +$120.

Speaking of Adorama, here is the latest situation in their Nikon manufacturer refurbished gear:

+ recently added refurbished Nikon gear

+ all refurbished Nikon gear

Still Good: Tamron 18-270mm f3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD for $329 [C/N, A {no VC}]

A proper superzoom lens sale! The new condition Tamron AF18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD lens is on sale for $329 with free expedited shipping in the Canon and Nikon DSLR systems at B&H Photo. VC here meaning Vibration Correction which is Tamron-speak for image stabilization.

This lens is also on sale in the Sony A-mount, however this one is without VC since Sony camera bodies support sensor-shift image stabilization. Check your local photo forums for never-ending debates on the merits of the various image stabilization systems 🙂

As of 9/28/17 9:12am ET recheck, this sale continues… This sale ends on 9/27/17 at 11:59pm ET (or earlier if any of them sell out).

Used Vivitar 5.1MP Digital Camera with 1.8-Inch TFT for $6

If you need a basic camera to experiment upon, the badly reviewed Vivitar 5.1MP Digital Camera with 1.8-Inch TFT Panel has crashed down to $6 in “Used – Like New” condition in original packaging at Amazon Warehouse Deals. This is best suited for experimentation and DIY projects and such, not picture taking.

Free 2-day shipping for Prime members. It’s not an Add-On item ~ they really want to get rid of it 🙂

This was discovered while I was dumpster-diving in the Amazon Warehouse Deals Bargain Bin clearance.

Ten FREE 4×6″ photo prints at CVS on next T-Mobile Tuesday

If you are a T-Mobile customer, you are automatically eligible to get some “freebies” every Tuesday as part of their “T-Mobile Tuesdays” magenta overload program.

For Tuesday October 3 in 2017, one of the freebies are ten 4×6 inch photo prints at CVS. The offer is only good for store pickup, you have to be physically near a CVS stores, or have the orders print near someone else you know that can pick them up.

The offers are typically per line, not per account, so if you have more than one T-Mobile line on your account, you may be able to get multiple freebies. I think this is the first time they offer CVS photo print freebies, so I don’t think it is known how the mechanics of the offer work.

Free Philips Hue lightbulb with pre-orders of new Amazon Echo Plus device

Photography is light, any opportunity for free light is a good one 🙂 This sentence foreshadows a freebie of the lighting kind!

For a limited time, Amazon is offering a FREE Philips Hue light bulb when you pre-order their brand new Echo PLUS Alexa device. for $150. That’s the price with or without the Philips Hue at the moment. The Echo Plus is available in three color options.

When you add it to the shopping cart, it tells you there are two items in your order, but they show up as one entry, as a bundle of two items.

Also available for pre-order, but without a free Philips Hue are the Echo Spot for $130, and the new Echos for $100 to $120.

UPDATE: but that’s not all. Amazon has also revealed a brand new Fire TV with 4K Ultra HD and Alexa Voice Remote for just $70, undercutting most of the competition. But that’s not all. On the same listing, they have options with an OTA Antenna for $5 more, or with an Echo Dot in a “value meal” for $80 total.

Fuji X-E3 added to Stock Status Tracker

The Fuji X-E3 is estimated by Amazon to come out September 28, but you know how it is with estimates. So I have just added the X-E3 body only to the Stock Status Tracker. I will also keep an eye on the other two official kits, but the compromise made in order to add it to the Tracker without adding more overhead was to focus on the X-E3 body only.
