Sony a7 III estimate “improves” to 2-5 weeks

The silver lining good news of today’s update of the Stock Status Tracker is that the Amazon estimates for both the sony a7 III body only and the a7 III w/28-70 have “improved” from “1 to 2 months” to “2 to 5 weeks”.

20% off Groupon Local (custom photo prints offers are there)

This incarnation of the coupon expires on Friday night on 4/20/18…

The variety of custom photo print offers (photo books, metal prints, canvas prints, wood, photo-gifts, etc) reside under Local Deals at the Groupon website and coupon code SALE3 gets you 20% off on up to three different local deals. For each deal, you get a discount on one unit purchased, with a maximum discount of $50 per deal. Restrictions and exclusions apply.

I didn’t realize how many options they added since the last time I checked. Canvas print offers have multiplied like bunnies. As of the time of writing, Groupon has 110+ Canvas Prints offers at their website, and coupon code SALE3 gets you 20% off most of these. Note that many of these offers do not come with free shipping and shipping is not discounted by the coupon since you are paying shipping if/when you redeem the offer at each printing service’s website. Check the terms/conditions of each item for the shipping fees. Some offer a flat fee, others show a list of delivery fees, others calculate it when you redeem the print at their site.

This coupon also gets you 10% off Groupon Goods which are the physical products. That’s where camera accessories and other tangible/consumable goods can be found.

These are some of the featured sale items that are eligible for the coupons, including a 10x9x7 inch weatherproof hard case with customizable foam going for $24.99 before coupon (so you’d need to buy at least $0.01 more to use the $5 off coupon – think cables and adapters)…
