The YI M43rds camera sale continues from Prime Day at Amazon’s website, but there’s more action on the YI sales front. Their entry-level YI action camera gets a FREE YI Action Camera Battery Replacement, all together for $60 with free shipping. You can add them to the shopping cart individually, or you can page down to the “Special offers and product promotions” of the action camera product page and click on the “Add Both to Cart” yellow button. No coupon is needed.
The price of the battery will be deducted at the top right corner of the Amazon Checkout page. No coupon is needed. If the price of the battery does not get deducted, it means the offer ended or there’s something else wrong.
These are sold by YI’s Amazon store, with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, so they are Prime-eligible if you are a member.

Serious Fixed Lens Cameras Price Charts Series is POSTED!
It was delayed by the Prime Day madness, but not defeated! The Fixed Lens Cameras has just been posted. It goes through Fixed Lens Cameras, with this year, removing 1/2.x” cameras from consideration. It’s 2017 🙂
To make up for the delay, I will launch a brand new fifth installment in the series by the weekend. This will be based on existing data. You can probably guess what it will be if you think it through but I won’t spoil it ahead of time 🙂
TIP: these can get long, but you can send them to your favorite “read it later” / bookmarking service for undistracted reading.

Corel AfterShot Pro 3 for $20 [digital download]
The Corel AfterShot Pro 3 is a post-Prime-Day sale for $20 in digital download option, for PC or for Mac, at Amazon by Amazon’s Digital Services, which is their digital selling persona. The key-card by mail option is NOT on sale. This is not a lighting deal, so expiration time/date is unknown.
Open box Nikon 70-300mm f4-5.6G w/1yr warranty for $109 + S&H
Nikon has just launched a new 70-300mm flagship lens but if you want to go to the other end of the spectrum, and don’t want to spend a lot, you can get in open-box condition the Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6G AF for $109 plus shipping at B&H Photo with a 1-year warranty provided by B&H (not Nikon USA).
Pre-order new Nikon 70-300 f4.5-5.6E ED VR AF-P Lens
Prime Day also brought us a brand new Nikon F system stabilized lens. It is the new Nikon 70-300 f4.5-5.6E ED VR AF-P with a pre-order price of $750, available for pre-ordering at B&H Photo. So this adds even more options to the 70-300mm zoom range in the Nikon line-up, multiple with and without VR.
This lens too has been added to the New Lenses of 2017 tracking page.
Refurbished Olympus SP-100 Superzoom (50x) for $187 [and more additions]
The Prime Day coupon expired at the Get Olympus store but it looks like they have some more additions, including another blast from the bast fixed lens digital camera, it is the factory reconditioned Olympus Stylus SP-100 for $187~ with free shipping. This is a 50x optical zoom, with a 90-day Olympus repair warranty, and 30-day return policy.
Some more cameras and/or lenses and/or accessories got added but I’m hazy post-PrimeDay as to which ones were not there before 🙂
There is a nice choice of Prime lenses there, and if you are not afraid of silver lenses, the factory reconditioned Olympus 45mm f1.8 goes for $200, $40 less than the black color scheme. So one could build a prime lens arsenal by going refurbished instead of buying only one or two in new condition.
PS: occasionally they drop Four Thirds (DSLR) gear in there, so if you are interested in M43rds, to be on the safe side, make sure check that the lenses you buy are “M.Zuiko”. This also serves as a memo to self to remember to check before I post 🙂
(ENDED) Zacuto Gratical HD Micro OLED EVF for $1699, Etc
These daily deals expired but for more action, check their Featured Sales…
(ENDED) Friday Lightning Deals: Bell+Howell Superzoom, Rokinon 50/1.4 AutoFocus (Sony E), Cine 85/T1.5, Etc

Canon fans! For Thursday 7/13/17, KEH has a Canon Sale offering 5% off Canon Cameras, 10% off Canon Lenses, and 15% off Canon Accessories with coupon code CAN07A entered over there.
(ENDED) 4TB Seagate Backup Plus External USB 3.0 HDD for $90 [limit two]
This sale ended but external hard drive sales come and go every few days…
It looks like this may be “defeating” the Prime Day sale (although I’m not sure if it was the exact same model since there are many variations). Regardless, the new condition 4TB Seagate Backup Plus Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STDT4000100) is on sale for $90 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of up to two units per customer. It comes out to $22.50 per TB.
YI M1 w/12-40mm for $299 or add 45mm f1.8 for $379 total [M43]
YI is taking Prime Day seriously with actual discounts, unlike many of the MAP-obsessed more famous iLC camera manufacturers. Their YI M1 with 12-40mm Micro Four Thirds camera is now on sale for $299 instead of its regular price of $350 in the silver or black color schemes by YI with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, so they are Prime eligible.
Their two other kits are also discounted (two lens kit, or with 42.5mm f1.8 instead of 12-40). The best bang for the buck is the YI M1 with 12-40mm and 45mm f1.8 for $379, so essentially $80 more gets you the 45mm f1.8 lens added to your bundle.
+ these are open to everyone, they are not restricted to Prime members!

It looks like Prime Day is becoming an industry-wide sale day. There’s also a Dell Refurbished coupon going live tomorrow at 9am Central ~ the post is scheduled to go live, so I don’t have to functional for it post 🙂
But that’s not all. Adorama has launched their biggest Flashpoint Studio and Lighting 2-Day Sale yet, with around fifty items participating in the sale.

YMMV
There are recurring offers that “bribe” you with a $10 Amazon credit to change your default Amazon credit or debit card to a specific bank and type. I’ve seen this happen with various, eg Discover and Citibank. These offers usually appear in the Shopping Cart, and also in internal ad banners while you are browsing around the Amazon website.
Especially this time of the year, it pays to keep an eye out for out of the blue offers. Some may be targeted. A lot of these offers can be “once per account”, so if you had previously taken advantage of it, you may not be eligible for it again. Or at least until they reset their counters or change how they do it 🙂
+ NOTE: if you see any errors you’d like corrected, please leave a comment or use the online contact form. If you see an error, it means I don’t know about it, otherwise I would have corrected it 🙂 I love corrections, so don’t be shy 🙂
