Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
More manufacturer refurbished Canon action with a 1-year Canon USA warranty, it’s a trio of refurbished Canon 80D kits as follows:
+ refurbished Canon 80D body for $799
+ or refurbished 80D with 18-55 for $849
+ or refurbished 80D with 18-135m for $1099
All three are in-stock as of the time of writing.
We have the first Fuji X-H1 deal already, shortly after I posted the Fuji X-H1 pre-order round-up. The first deal is this: if you pre-order it at Adorama, either as the body only for $1900 or with the battery grip for $2200, you will automatically receive a FREE Domke Fuji cobranded F-803 camera bag. You will get this for free as long as this is mentioned in the individual product page over there! Here’s a screenshot to make sure I did not hallucinate 🙂
If the promotion rings a bell, that’s because this promotion is already in progress for other Fujis (X-T2, X-PRO2, select lenses).
Tonight’s pre-order-a-palooza pushed down a lot of other deals, so the time is right for the return of the “The Trending Five”, a round-up of five of the best surviving deals (subjective of course)…
+ Panasonic GX85 with 12-32 and 45-100 and $100 Gift Certificate and $24 Rewards for $598 with free shipping at Adorama in silver color scheme or the black color scheme
+ Panasonic ZS100 superzoom with $100 Gift Certificate and $22 Rewards for $548 at Adorama in or scheme or silver color scheme
+ Various RAWsumer (fixed lens serious compact) Camera Guides by Alexander S. White on sale for $8 in the Kindle version
+ Datacolor SCK200 SpyderCHECKR 24 for $30 by Amazon itself
+ Fuji X-E2S with 18-55 f2.8-4 OIS for $680 at
++ Adorama in black color scheme or silver color scheme
++ Amazon in black color scheme or silver color scheme
EXPIRATION NOTE
The free to read promotion at Consumer Reports is over. They have relaunched their paywall with three for-pay membership options (Print, Digital, or Both), along with a basic free membership.
We begin the Pre-Order-a-palooza that was promised with some of the new cameras and lenses that were officially announced this week, starting with the new flagship of the Fuji X-system, the new X-H1, with an in-body image-stabilization to boot! This is the fifth new mirrorless camera revealed in 2018 [see New Cameras of 2018 tracker], giving Mirrorless cameras a commanding 5-0 lead over Team DSLR.
FUJI X-H1 BODY ONLY
The Fuji X-H1 body only is available for pre-ordering for $1900 at Adorama and B&H Photo and Amazon by Amazon itself with a March 1st release estimate. Do note however that estimates are only estimates and they change over time!
BATTERY GRIP for FUJI X-H1
A flagship camera is not a flagship without a dedicated battery grip, and the X-H1 is getting the Fujifilm VPB-XH1 Vertical Power Booster Grip for $329, available for pre-ordering by Amazon itself and Adorama and B&H Photo.
There is also a pre-order option for the X-H1 bundled with the battery grip with a $30 combo discount, $2199 instead of $2229 🙂
FUJI X-H1 bundled with PRO LENSES
What if you also want a pro lens to go with the new X-H1? Fuji has created bundles with three of their existing X system pro lenses [not the new T2.9 cinema lenses] as follows:
+ X-H1 with 16-55mm for $2949
+ X-H1 with 50-140mm for $3349
+ X-H1 with 100-400mm for $3649
+ the above kits are also available with the official battery grip for +$300
You can find all these options at the organized product announcement pages at B&H Photo and Adorama and the search results at Amazon.
If you are a fan of cinematography and the Fuji X system, Fuji has two new propositions for you, their first two Cinema lenses for the X-system. These are T2.9 zoom lenses, and they are available for pre-order as follows:
+ MKX 18-55mm T2.9 for $4000 at Adorama and Amazon itself and $4100 at B&H Photo
+ MKX 50-135mm T2.9 for $4300 at B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon itself
These two new T lenses too have been added to the New Lenses of 2018 tracking page.
“Gooooooooooooool!” says the soccer TV announcer as another mirrorless camera gets revealed in 2018. The Panasonic GX9 is the fourth new mirrorless camera of 2018 [see New Cameras of 2018 tracker], while the ZS200 is the first RAWsumer of the year (fixed lens camera with native RAW out of the box). Both of these new Panasonics are now available for pre-ordering as follows:
+ Panasonic GX9 with 12-60mm for $998 at B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon itself
+ late March release estimate
+ Panasonic ZS200 (1″ sensor, 15X Leica optical zoom) for $798 at Adorama and B&H Photo and Amazon itself
+ late March release estimate
You can buy boxes and boxes of lox for the price of this new Loxia lens! Zeiss, like Voigtlander just did, has revealed a brand new prime lens for the Sony E-system. The new lens is the ZEISS Loxia 25mm f2.4 with a late March 2018 release estimate and a starting price of $1299 and available for pre-ordering for B&H Photo and Adorama…
But that’s not all! This new lens has now been added to the Zeiss Loxia Lens Bundle which now includes five Zeiss primes with a transport case for $5987 with free shipping. This too is a pre-order! Adorama is offering an optional 12-month $499/month financing promotion on this, on approved credit and all that good stuff.
This new lens too has been added to the New Lenses of 2018.

We have a new lens, and it’s already in-stock and ready to ship for Sony E-system photographers! It is the new Voigtlander Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 and it is in-stock for $799 with free expedited shipping from B&H Photo!
This new lens has been added to the New Lenses of 2018. Also added is a new Sigma 14-24mm f2.8 ART DG HSM, but the lens does not have a price yet, so there are obviously no pre-orders without a price.
The 100W equivalent LED light bulbs of the A21 kind are not easy to find or as cheap or subsidized like the 40W and 60W equivalent. If you happen to need them in multiples of 16, and you don’t need to receive them immediately, the AmazonBasics 16-packs are down to $45.29 in the Daylight (5000 Kelvin) and for $46.53 in the Soft White (2700 Kelvin). This puts each light bulb under $3.
If you don’t need that many or need them right away, the 6-packs are in-stock and ready to ship for $22~ in either Daylight or Soft White, making them $3.67 per light bulb.
If you are looking for a 3rd-party charger and two batteries that are replacement to the Sony NP-FW50, and don’t want to chase them in the lightning deals, we have good news. There is an old fashioned sale on the new condition Wasabi 1-Slot Charger + Two Batteries that are replacements for the Sony NP-FW50 for $20, sold and shipped by Amazon itself. Limit three sets per customer. Free shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order.
The Sony NP-FW50 battery is used by a variety of Sony cameras, including full frame a-series, APS-C a-series, RX-series and more. Check with your camera if you are not certain. This averages 4.2 out of 5 based on 1637 customer reviews, a popular 3rd-party option judging by the number of reviews. It also has 137 answered questions. They come with a 3-year warranty.
If you are a fan of third-party batteries, and you are in need of Olympus LI-90B replacement batteries, you are in luck! Two DSTE brand batteries are sold together for the very specific price of $8.89, sold by DSTE with the order fulfilled by Amazon, so Prime members get free 2-day shipping. They average 4.2 out of 5 based on 9 customer reviews.

The LensBabies are growing up, they should be called LensTeens! Brand new and available for pre-ordering right now is the new Lensbaby Burnside 35mm f/2.8 lens for $500 at B&H Photo in your choice of various DSLR systems (Kanon, Nighkon, Bentax, Sonya) and Mirrorless systems (Fujitsu, Nano Four Thirds, Sonny, and Samsuck).
Mildly surprising they are making a new Samsung NX lens. Mayhaps it was too late in the development process to cancel it?
Fans of in-body camera image stabilization are now cheering another convert to the cause as the brand new Fuji X-H1 flagship camera has an in-body image stabilization that promises up to 5.5 stops if the stars and the lenses align (multiple puns intended).
Despite the H in the name, this remains an APS-C camera, not an APS-H camera.
The new Fuji X-H1 has a starting price of $1899 and it is available for pre-ordering at Adorama and B&H Photo and Amazon by Amazon itself.
Fuji is also offering combined purchase discounts if one orders the camera with one of three Fuji pro lenses (their two f2.8 zooms or the 100-400). Details on the individual product pages above.
But that’s not all! Coming along with it are two Fuji Cinema T zoom manual lenses. Fuji is after all no stranger to cinema lenses. You can see all the new items available for pre-ordering at the new announcement pages at Adorama and B&H Photo. Amazon doesn’t have advanced technology like that, but you can see most of them in their search results…
My Homework for Later Today
+ add the Fuji X-H1 to the Stock Status Tracker (the X100F will be retired from it at the same time)
+ update the New Cameras/Lenses tracker with all the new products of this week and post pre-order alerts for them
+ buy after-Valentines clearance chocolates 😉
With their AmazonBasics line, Amazon can discount them and adjust their prices as they see fit, they don’t have to play the whole MAP song and dance. Perhaps this is one of the many reasons more online retailers are having more products under their own house brands.
Which brings us to the new condition AmazonBasics Carbon Fiber Monopod on sale for the very specific price of $53.26 with free shipping with up to five per customer. Could also be useful if you want to cosplay Gandalf 🙂 This is not a lightning deal, so expiration time unknown.

Printing is fun-da-mental! If you are comfortable with mail-in rebates, the new condition Epson SureColor P800 Inkjet Printer can be yours for $945 after a $250 mail-in rebate (check PDF file with details at the retailer website if you are not familiar with the Epson way of rebating) at B&H Photo and Adorama. The Epson mail-in rebate promotion, which expires 2/28/18 gets you a $250 mail-in rebate with purchase, OR $350 if you are upgrading from any other 6-color printer. You have to provide the serial number of the printer you are upgrading from per the PDF of the rebates.
If you don’t want to deal with mail-in rebate hassles, you can purchase the printer refurbished by Epson thru Adorama for $750 with free shipping. No rebates, no coupons, just add to cart and proceed to checkout. Adorama will also include a 20pk of 8.5×11″ photo paper. This comes with a 1-year Epson warranty (the benefits of manufacturer refurbished).
It’s in-stock time! The new condition Godox AD600Pro Witstro All-In-One Outdoor Flash is now in-stock and shipping for $899 with free next delivery at B&H Photo in the Flash Only configuration. Or for $968 you can get it with your choice of Canon, Nikon, Fuji, or Sony Trigger. These too are in-stock and get free next day delivery to the 48 contiguous US states.
PS: “FO” in the blog-post title is “Flash Only”. C/N/S/F are the initials of the manufacturers…
PS2: a handful of new lenses and cameras were revealed this week, hopefully I will add them to the tracker and create pre-order posts later tonight…
If you are going to take a risk on an imported lens without a warranty, a low-cost simple prime lens is pretty much the lowest of those risks. If so, using coupon code PRESDAY (promotion details) you can get the new condition imported grey-market Nikon 50mm f1.8D lens for $88 with free shipping from Red Tag Camera (Brooklyn, 100%). The price before the coupon is $110. There is no warranty with this lens!
Also, if you are eligible for the 8% eBay Bucks promotion, don’t forget to activate that offer before making a purchase!
