Pay $45, Get $50 Google Play e-gift card

This recurring promotion is back at Amazon. You pay $45, and get a $50 Google Play e-gift card by email using coupon code GOOGLE in the Amazon shopping cart. That’s a 10% off discount. You can get a better percentage during various B&M store gift card promotions, but typically the percentage is achieved through store credit or rewards points. This is a straight-up discount, nothing else involved. It is a limited time offer, expiration time unknown (= when the coupon stops working).

PS: Google Play gift cards can also be used towards subscriptions initiated from Google Play, as long as that subscription service supports billing through Google Play (eg HBO NOW). You can adjust it at any time under the Subscriptions section of the Google Play Store website or app.

If you are a fan of budget primes and a fan of the Sony E-system too, we have good news for you, the Opteka 50mm f2 is now in-stock and shipping for $90 with free shipping at B&H Photo. It had already been available for the Fuji X, M43rds, Canon EF-M and the Nikon 1 system.

Now shipping (and officially announced): new GoPRO HERO CHDHB-501 Action Camera

GoPRO has officially announced a brand new action camera, the GoPRO HERO with touch-screen and voice-control. The model name is CHDHB-501 in case it’s not clear which model you are looking at. That and the lack of customer reviews [since it was just released] will pin-point to it being the new model.

And it is already in-stock and shipping at its starting price of $199 at Amazon by Amazon itself and Adorama and B&H Photo.

Speaking of which, they are offering a free $25 B&H e-gift card with the purchase of the good old HERO5 Black for $299.
