Dell Refurbished (Dell’s website that specializes on re-selling off-lease computers) is back with another coupon offer. Coupon code SAVE50R620 gets you 50% off Dell PowerEdge R620 Servers. Free ground shipping. While supplies last. Coupon expires on 7/30/2017 at 11:59PM CST.
Monoprice does not have predictable free shipping like most other retailers, so pooling orders into bigger lots is one strategy to counter that, especially when some of the items in your shopping cart are eligible for free shipping, which can lower the overall S&H costs of your order.
With that in mind, for Monday in the pacific time zone, coupon code DESERVE gets you 20% off orders of $300+ at the Monoprice website. The usual exclusions apply. You can test the coupon and get a S&H estimate without logging in or signing up for an account.
Ooops, I missed this last night when I posted the B&H Daily Deals, but the YI Technology Action Camera in black or white, is going for $55 with free shipping until 11:59pm ET or earlier if sold out. It probably looked like a security camera when I was checking late last night 🙂
But the headliner of the Monday daily deals remains the Tokina 12-28mm f/4.0 AT-X Pro APS-C Lens for Canon for $199.
When we first mentioned this last week there were multiple used listings and it was going for $10.80. As of the time of writing, there is only one used listing, and the price has inched upwards to $11.72. It is the “Used – Very Good” Ape Case ACPRO342W Camera Case at Amazon Warehouse Deals.
Of the other USED items we mentioned at the same time last week, their prices have changed as follows:
+ USED Dracast DR-DVT17A Tripod down from $75~ to $64~
+ Used Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter (T-mount Screw Lenses to M43rds Cameras) for $4 to $4.23 (up $0.13 since last time)
+ Tamron AF 17-50mm F/2.8 SP XR Di II VC up from $203 to $214~ (Canon EF) or $252 (Nikon F) with the same price
+ the Energizer Canon 60D battery grip sold out in used condition
+ for a deal fishing expedition, check the Amazon Warehouse Deals Bargain Bin
UPDATE: speaking of which, the ARRIS SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem (SB6121) is offered in “Used – Like New” condition for $12. Not a bad price as a backup!

If you are interested in buying used Nikon cameras or lenses or accessories, Tuesday is a good day to do so, because coupon code NIK07A gets you 5% off Nikon cameras, 10% off Nikon lenses, and 15% off accessories at the KEH website. If you are not certain whether an item qualifies, simply add item to cart and enter the coupon and see what happens. The shopping cart is the ultimate decider on the final price 🙂
There are over 40 items listed in the Camera & Photo lightning deals (old format) or Full Page format (faster to navigate on Desktop) of the Amazon Gold Box. Due to time constraints I cannot create a detailed listing of them all. The usual assortment of LEDs, Tri/Monopods, Action Cams, Bags, Studio/Lighting Kits, and more are running throughout the day.
Meanwhile the Amazon ECHO (in black or white) is on sale for $130 until Tuesday 3am ET (or earlier if sold out).
B&H Photo has created a central page for all things Solar Eclipse 2017, including a variety of related accessories along with information articles about the event.
PSA: remember not to stare straight into the sun!
The Panasonic LX10 compact with RAW currently goes for $598 at authorized dealers, but at the moment you can also get a boatlaod of freebies at Adorama: the Corel software bundle (five titles including three photo/videos), a 32GB Lexar PRO SDHC card, a Lowepro Dashpoint 20 bag, a memory card wallet, and a cleaning kit.
In addition to the previously mentioned Panasonic offers, there’s one on the Panasonic FZ 2500 superzoom, you get a $100 store gift card with the camera going for $1098 at Adorama and B&H Photo.
There are over 55 items listed in the Camera & Photo lightning deals (old format) or Full Page format (faster to navigate on Desktop) of the Amazon Gold Box. Due to time constraints I cannot create a detailed listing of them all. The usual assortment of LEDs, Tri/Monopods, Action Cams, Bags, Studio/Lighting Kits, and more are running throughout the day.
The Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR goes for $400 at authorized dealers which are allowed to include free accessories with it, such as Adorama.
But if you are comfortable with imported grey-market white-box lenses without a warranty, then to the eBay Deals we go, where eBay seller “Photo Video 4 Less” (100%, New York) is offering it in new condition white-box no-warranty condition for half the price, $200 with free shipping.
Needless to say this is a higher risk purchase, so if you don’t feel comfortable without any warranty, do not buy!
eBay is rotating between coupons and eBay Bucks promotions, and the pendulum has swung in the direction of eBay Bucks again!
This is YMMV ~ I do not know if eBay offers this to everyone or a subset of their registered users. Good until Monday 3am eastern (7/24/17), you earn 8% eBay Bucks on your purchases This particular promotion has no minimum purchase price, so even a $1 item will get you bonus bucks.
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. The email title announcing this promotion is not as clear as previous ones, but it has “eBay Bucks” in it, so look for that if you are skimming or filtering eBay emails.
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 Archive posts.

There are over 50 items listed in the Camera & Photo lightning deals (old format) or Full Page format (faster to navigate on Desktop) of the Amazon Gold Box. Due to time constraints I cannot create a detailed listing of them all. The usual assortment of LEDs, Tri/Monopods, Action Cams, Bags, Studio/Lighting Kits, and more are running throughout the day.
Perhaps the item that stands out from this lot in terms of brand name recognition is the FeiyuTech G5 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Action Camera starting at 3:10pm ET. The price before the sale is $279.
If you want to get the Nikon Df with the Special Edition lens but don’t want to pay the full new condition price, fear not! Adorama comes to the rescue, they are offering the manufacturer refurbished Nikon Df with 50mm f1.8G Special Edition for $1795 with free shipping and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty.
This kit in new condition goes for $3000, so that’s certainly a big price difference to tilt the scales towards the manufacturer refurbished. This is the black Nikon Df. The silver Nikon Df is not available in this option.

The Sony a6500 [which I forgot to include in the original Mirrorless Price Chart but was added in the revised edition thanks to corrections from our readers] with 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 OSS PZ goes for $1500 at the Best Buy “Black Friday” but their offer has been “defeated” by B&H Photo which includes a 64GB Sandisk Extreme SDXC card, an extra Watson battery and a Shoulder Bag for the same price, versus Best Buy’s only one free accessory (a basic Sony-branded camera case).
At the stroke of midnight last night, the Panasonic GH4 with the 12-35mm f2.8 zoom lens dropped to $1495 at B&H Photo but that’s not the only offer that went live today for the Panasonic GH4!
A number of retailers are running “free with purchase” promotions with the Panasonic GH4 body only, while still selling at the $998 to $1000 price. Here are the options:
+ GH4 Body + Tascam 6-Track Field Recorder for DSLR with SMPTE Timecode by Beach Camera through Amazon
+ you get Prime-like shipping speed if you are a member but it ships directly from Beach Camera from the East Coast

+ GH4 Body + Rode VideoMic Pro R Cardioid Condenser Microphone at Adorama
+ GH4 Body + 2TB WD Elements USB 3.0 External Hard Drive at B&H Photo
+ all the above go for around $1000
The Panasonic GX85 with 12-32mm dropped to $498 like Cinderalla last night at B&H Photo. But the sale is spreading across the interwebs, as of the time of writing, it also goes for $498 at Adorama and by various at Amazon.
PS: if you are a Prime member, and you pay with either the Prime Store Credit Card or the Amazon Chase VISA credit card, you earn a 5% statement credit on the purchase. This covers all Amazon purchases, they don’t have to be sold and shipped by Amazon itself. Prime subscriptions too earn 5% statement credit.
Best Buy’s Black Friday is offering the Fuji Instax SHARE SP-2 wireless printer for $150 (which apparently got price-matched at Amazon) but both of them have been “defeated” by B&H Photo who is bundling a free 10pk of film exposures in various options, eg the standard 10pk or monochrome 10pk of film exposures. On the same listing, they also have other bundle options, eg with a pouch instead of free exposures for $153, or a a 20pk of free exposures for $154.40. With free shipping.
The Weekend Magazine sale is back at Discount Mags as usual, running until Monday night. Of photography interest, there are two printed magazines, offered for $5 per magazine per year, “Digital Photo” or “Outdoor Photographer”.

Also part of the Best Buy 2-DAY Sale is a promotion that gets you a $50 Best Buy Gift card and a 32GB SD card with the purchase of the Sony RX100 III or V at their regular prices of $750 and $1000 respectively. Sale ends Saturday night.
On the other hand, if gift cards don’t tempt you, and you are comfortable with open-box cameras, they are also available in open-box condition (without gift cards) as follows: the open-box RX100 III goes for $637 with free shipping, and the open-box RX100 V for $850 with free shipping.

Best Buy launched a Black Friday sale (no, you haven’t slept through the summer, it’s still July 2017) and among the offers is a $50 Best Buy Gift Card bundled with the Sony Cybershot HX80 superzoom selling for its regular price of $370 with free shipping. This is a 30x optical zoom camera, more of the travel/compact-zoom than the mega-barrel-zoom. Offers end Saturday night or earlier if sold out.
Another flash sale is now running at Adorama, for a limited time you can get the new condition 2TB G-Technology G-Drive PRO External Hard Drive with Dual Thunderbolt Ports, 4x 7200 RPM Hard Drives, Up to 480 MB/s, for $200 with free shipping.

The black Fuji X100F is available in USED “Like New” condition (listing has pictures of the used model) for $1202~ by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself or $1300 in new condition at various authorized dealers including B&H Photo and OneCall and Adorama.
The silver Fuji X100F is also available in USED “Like New” condition (listing has pictures of the used model) for $1202~ by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself ($1202).

The other tracked cameras are in status quo. The Nikon D7500 kits and the Panasonic GH5 are steadily in-stock.
