Stock Updates: Panasonic G9, Sony a7r III, Fuji X100f
I did not check earlier in the day to see what happened, but as of this update, the Panasonic G9 is marked as “temporarily out of stock” at Amazon (aka TOOS), an all-encompassing anything that could mean anything. Meanwhile at B&H Photo it is “Coming Soon”. Both previously had a January 15 estimate.
On the Sony a7r III front, the camera is back in-stock at Adorama, while B&H and Amazon itself continue to be out of stock. However a variety of authorized dealers also have it in-stock through eBay and thru Amazon.
The Nikon D850 remains elusive, but at least you can get official Japanese brochure/booklet for $13 shipped 🙂
The Amazon discount is over for the X100F silver, but you can still get a $100 gift card from Focus. Check the X100F segment of the Stock Status Tracker for those.

Shopping News: Internet Sales Tax Collection Case Heads to the Supreme Court
If you make online purchases from out of state retailers that don’t collect sales tax, this may change depending on what happens after the Supreme Court hears a counter-case. The vast majority of States (when you consider that some don’t collect sales tax) are behind this push that will allow them to force online retailers (without a physical presence in the state) to collect sales tax anyway.
In other words, if the Supreme Court agrees with the states, your purchases from NewEgg or B&H Photo or Monoprice or Adorama will have sales tax included regardless of which state you live in (if that states collects sales tax).
This will also affect some purchases at Amazon. The article above from the Associated Press (hosted at ABC) incorrectly states that Amazon is not affected. Right now, purchases from Amazon itself have sales tax charged, however, purchases from 3rd-party sellers are left to the 3rd-party sellers, and as far as I can tell, the majority of 3rd-party sellers that do not have to collect sales tax, do not collect sales tax. So if the Supreme Court agrees with the states, Amazon purchases from 3rd-party sellers will also be collecting sales tax.
The article above estimates that arguments on the case will be made in April, so this is not an imminent change, nor a guarantee that something will change. After all, the whole MAP/price-fixing thing survived the Supreme Court. More on this from various websites and blogs as it develops are collected at the always useful Techmeme…
