Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
BorrowRentals is having another limited time coupon promotion for the rental of camera gear. I’m saying this because they also sell some of the rental gear. This coupon only works on gear rentals, not purchases. Their promo explains it much better with one picture than I could in words, so here’s the annotated screenshot with all the revenant info…
For a limited time, AdoramaPIX has a “buy more, save more” coupon promotion! Your order total determines your discount and it can be up to $30 off. You can find the coupons in the annotated screenshot below:
Back to the eBay Deals we go where eBay seller [and camera importer] 6ave of the East Coast is offering the new condition grey-market Canon M50 with 15-45mm in the black color scheme for $490 with free shipping and a 1-year warranty from 6ave… In new condition at authorized dealers, this kit goes for $700, eg Adorama…
After languishing among the Yahoo wahoos, Flickr was sold to Smugmug. As part of this “digesting” of the service, Smugmug decided to do away with the free 1TB plan. Users who want to keep all their photos on the 1TB free plan must upgrade to a PRO plan by January 8 in 2019.
People who do not upgrade to a PRO plan by then will only keep their 1000 most recent photographs. So start processing/downloading/saving now if you don’t plan on upgrading to a PRO plan! If you don’t adjust your account yourself (if you have over 1000 photos), starting February 5 in 2019 flickr-Smugmug will begin deleting your older photos until your account is at 1000 or less [STANNIS: Fewer!]…
To make the PRO plan more tempting, they are adding some features (eg unlimited) and they are also offering a one year 30% off discount for the 1st year of PRO for the “Free 1TB” plans.
Details and discussion via Techmeme and official takes on the changes in multiple posts at the official flickr blog…
Shipping fees are the bane of an online shoppers’ existence! From now until the Christmas-delivery shipping deadline, if you are not a Prime member, you get free shipping at the Amazon website for orders under $25.
A couple of things to note. This will be the same free slow shipping that they previously offered for orders over $25. “Slow shipping” is not always slow ~ depending on each order’s situation.
The second thing to note is that this offer only applies to products sold and shipped by Amazon and products fulfilled by Amazon. Amazon physically and logistically controls the shipping for these two types, and they are the majority of listings over there. However, products that ship directly from 3rd-party sellers will still have a shipping fee as usual [Prime members pay this fee too except for a few rare occasions where they get Prime-like shipping – a lesser known Prime benefit]…
Speaking of Amazon, they are offering the new condition Acer Spin 5 SP515-51GN-83YY for $760 with free shipping. A maximum of TWO per customer at the sale price. This is not a lightning deal but an old fashioned sale. This haas a 15.6″ FHD Touchscreen, 8th Gen i7-8550U, GeForce GTX 1050, 8GB DDR4, 1TB HDD, Convertible design, Win 10, etc.
If you were interested in getting the Nikon D750, either in the body only or the 24-120 VR kit, authorized Nikon dealers are bundling with it for FREE the new condition Nikon MB-D16 battery grip. But that’s not all. Some retailers are including on their own additional freebies such as Adorama (32GB Extreme, Corel software, Lowepro, extra battery, 2% rewards, free Overnight shipping). Meanwhile B&H Photo is including a 64GB Sandisk Extreme PRO, 2% rewards, extra battery and a shoulder bag… Amazon itself offers the battery grip for free, but as of the time of writing they do not offer additional free accessories BUT you get 5% rewards if you pay with a Prime credit card…
If you are planning a big Monoprice purchase, Monday is the day, as they have the 25% off orders of $300+ in coupon-eligible items using coupon code DOUGHNUT [yes, old school spelling] at the Monoprice website…
In addition to B&H Photo, the Nikon D850 body only is now in-stock and ready to ship for its starting price of $3300 at Adorama and also by Amazon itself where some of D850 Guides & e-books are also on sale to tempt new owners of the full framer…

No coupon, no rebate, just add to cart and proceed to checkout…
Some action in the Best Buy daily deals for Monday, also running approximately in the central time zone of the day. It is the PaintShop Pro 2019 Ultimate for Windows offered for $35. The sale is only for the physical copy of the software. The digital version remains at its list price.
Among the Monday Woot daily deals, running until 1am ET on Tuesday [or earlier if sold out], you can get the new condition Parrot Jumping Night Mini Drone for $27 with free shipping for Prime members. You have a choice of three colors and up to ten units per Woot customer during the sale. It comes with a 1-year warranty from Parrot and it has a wide angle camera streaming through your phone.
The Monday B&H daily deals are headlined by a lens, so a good get. As usual, they run until Monday at 11:59pm ET, or earlier if sold out:

Adorama has launched a Pre-Holiday Clearance sale with 4700 products participating. That’s a lot of products to go through one by one, but you can use the left hand side of their website to filter them in various ways, eg by manufacturer, by product type, by price-range, by reviewing rating, and so forth… Speaking of which, they have the latest Google Chromecast (third generation) in-stock for $35…
This is a heads-up! Starting at 12:01am eastern time on SUNDAY, the Olympus Holiday Deals of 2018 will be launched at B&H Photo. The sale prices will be adjusted when the sales go live but you can use the link to scout which products will be offered…

B&H Photo has the same price, but no free accessories…
Amazon always tries to find creative ways to get you to load up your Amazon account or buy gift cards. This latest promotion running until December 22, 2018 gets you a $5 bonus if you buy a $50+ Amazon gift card by text message. First you have to click on the aforelinked page to “add code to your account”.
If you don’t see this offer while logged on to your account, it means Amazon’s computers decided not to offer it to you. Limit one redemption of this particular offer per Amazon account. Complete terms and conditions over there.
Remember, you can send the gift card to your own email address, you don’t have to send it to another person! Assuming you do a $50 purchase, this is a 10% bonus.
If you like reading camera guides, Alexander White has a number of his titles, in e-book format, on sale for $8 to $10 for the Amazon Kindle. They have “Kindle samples” and you can also “Look Inside” from within the web browser without the need of a Kindle or Kindle reading app.
UPDATE: the one below I somehow managed to post it in a Canon mirrorless post instead of here, so I’m moving it here below:
Speaking of camera guides, on the Micro Four Thirds front, a number of “menu simplified” e-book titles from David Thorpe range from $4 to $5 depending on the age of the camera…
If you feel like taking a photographic-camera-trip down memory lane, Amazon Germany’s Warehouse Deals have one units available of the good old Panasonic GH2 body only offered for 247 euro. This is sold by marketplace seller “Camera Club” (99%, 1946 ratings in last 12 months) with Prime-like shipping. Per the listing, this comes with a 12-month warranty, and the camera has just over 2000 clicks. The condition is “Used – Very Good” and they have a detailed description over there…
The word is abused so much it no longer has any actual meaning. No, this is not an English Language diatribe but rather, the word “Black Friday”… Speaking of which, NewEgg has a 24-hour Black Friday NOW sale. YMMV as usual with these type of sales…
B&H Photo is currently having a limited time sale on select Vanguard tripods. A total of 35 options are available with prices ranging from $50 to $300…

Friday is here in the pacific time zone and that means a new Amazon Gold Box set of offers has gone live. If you like to use car lights as a lighting source, they have a sale on select LED headlight lamps ^_^. They also have a sale on LOTR/Hobbit bundles of $joy$, especially now that Amazon has procured the rights and is developing an epic [okay expensive, epic remains to be seen] LOTR-based TV series.
Of more tech interest, they have a soccer team of Anker charging products on sale including a 26,800 mAh powerbank, a slim 10K mAh powerbank, wall chargers, wireless chargers, cables, and USB car chargers too…
Adorama has launched another snapshot deal, a limited time offer of sorts, it is a bundle of two, the new condition Litepanels Astra Soft Bi-Color Next Gen LED Light Panel bundled with the Flashpoint 10′ C Stand on Turtle Base Kit, 40″ Grip Arm & Two 3″ Gobo Heads [the description makes it sound like a 50s scifi movie monster but it is NOT] for $1000 with free expedited shipping…
Speaking of lighting matters, Adorama has a limited time sale on 250+ Lighting products from in-house (eg Flashpoint) and out-house brands (eg iKan).
The Friday daily deals at B&H Photo last 48 hours instead of 24, so this quartet below runs until Saturday 11:59pm ET instead:

+ numerous Vello screen protectors for $15 each
