+ optionally you can select the bundle with free 3-month Kindle Unlimited subscription (it auto-renews monthly after the first three months, so setup an alert in your calendar/task app ~ it’s cheaper to buy Kindle Unlimited as prepaids than month-to-month)

+ Kindle Paperwhite for $90 (limit two per customer); this is with Special Offers, Wifi-only, 8GB on-board storage, 300ppi, built-in front light (it had been the defining feature of the Paperwhite before the Voyage/Oasis)
BUT WAIT, there’s more! Also part of the Tuesday daily deals is a Bushnell sale featuring three groups of Bushnell products, with prices ranging from $22 to $314. Yes, $22 is a Bushnell binocular, not a bag or other accessory 🙂
UPDATE: I haven’t tested every single item, but of the ones I have tested, the limit is two per customer per item at the sale price…
UPDATE #2: there’s also a tech sale at the Amazon Germany Gold Box, lots of great prices on Logitech mice and keyboards since they are typically more expensive in Europe than the US. Note that the most of the keyboards are using the QWERTZ formation, not the “normal” QWERTY. Thankfully the mice don’t have any QWERTZ vs QWERTY confusion 🙂
microSD cards is the theme of the day in the Tuesday 10/22/19 daily deals, starting with the Best Buy dailies offering the new condition 256GB Sandisk Ultra microSDXC going for $45 with free US shipping and/or store pickup where possible…

For a limited time, coupon code CLASS60 gets you 60% off one class offered at Creative LIVE. This is an opportunity to get a class that rarely goes on sale or one you need right away and don’t want to wait for future sales, bundles and promotions…
Look at that! A second actual real camera offered as a daily deal this week! This time around it is at the
The free lens is mentioned when you locate the tiny “Free item with purchase A $399.99 value” line in the ever-so-chaotic product pages… The E-M5 II on its own goes for $899 in new condition at authorized Olympus USA dealers… Best Buy alone has open-box options (for the E-M5 II body only; no free lens) starting at $540 (some of them may be local store pickup only)…
On the other hand, if you already have the 25mm lens or you want a zoom lens, there’s another E-M5 II kit bundled with the 14-150mm f4-5.6 II lens, sold as the “weatherproof kit” for $999 at authorized dealers such as Adorama and B&H Photo…
Meanwhile on the USED front, at B&H Photo they have a condition 7 body-only used E-M5 II body only starting at $390, while KEH Camera prices start at $432 in “BGN” (bargain) condition and with a 180-day warranty…
NOTE however that the E-M5 III is scheduled to roll out around Black Friday 2019 (current release estimate is November 21st), but the starting price is $1199 for the body only (eg Amazon)…
Also part of the Best Buy daily deals for Friday October 18 in 2019 is the return of another Sandisk Ultra Plus memory card sale. This time around the 64GB SDXC and microSDXC memory cards are on sale for $15 each with free store pickup. Free shipping when you reach a minimum ordering amount and/on depending on your Best Buy rewards tier.
Also part of the Friday sale is a sale on Surface devices, namely two Surface PRO 6 tablets and one Surface Laptop 2 with prices starting at $699.
Speaking of Surfaces, the main Woot daily deal for Friday is a sale on three Surface 4 PRO tablet bundles (with keyboard and pen) ranging from $570 to $1390… And for the non-Surface crowd, the “Computers” tab has a sale on various laptops and computer monitors…
Note that B&H’s store and offices are closed until the 23rd of October, so if you need something for delivered quickly, patience is a virtue!

Off to Amazon Germany we geaux now where the new condition black color scheme of the Fuji 50mm f2 R WR XF goes for 399 euro with free shipping in Germany-Austria. Limit two per customer at the sale price. The silver color scheme goes for over 450 euro. This is sold and shipped by Amazon.de itself, not 3rd-party sellers.
IT is not a lightning deal, so expiration time unknown to me…
Meanwhile at Amazon USA this lens goes for $449 with free shipping by Amazon itself, with up to three per color per customer.

If you are a fan of the Pixel smartphones, B&H Photo is running a limited time pre-order promotion on the just-announced Google Pixel 4 phones. They include a $100 B&H electronic gift card with pre-orders! There’s no coupon code, the e-gift card is included automatically with the pre-orders.
Depending on your viewport/screen, the free items may not be very visible. Look for the tiny text that says “Includes Free”. Also included is a 3-month prepaid Mint Mobile SIM card that’s why you may see “2 items ($160.00 value)” instead of just the $100 B&H e-gift card.
Prices for the Pixel 4 start at $799 (64GB) and jump to $899 for the 128GB option.
Prices for the Pixel 4 XL start at $899 (64GB) and jump to $999 for the 128GB option.
Estimated shipping date for the Pixel 4 models is October 22 in 2019. It’s a Oh So Orange Just Black and Clearly White Tuesday 😉
Also available for pre-ordering but not including a $100 B&H gift card are the new Pixelbook Go laptops. Scroll further down the listings to find the preorder options. For now they appear to have a “Ships to USA only” restriction. Prices start at $649 for the Intel m3 and increase as memory, storage and processor increase…
Wednesday is upon us and with it we have three new B&H dailies running until 11:59pm ET on Wednesday 10/16/19 or earlier if sold out:

CreativeLIVE is back with another limited time offer, !2 clases for $29 each. Topics include newborn, fine-art, the Photoshop CC bootcamp, outdoor, posing, wildlife and more!
Speaking of limited time things, I am live-tweeting the Google Pixel 4 announcement because why not? 🙂 You can watch Google’s own live-stream along with various “streams with commentary” on The YouTube…
If you want “spoilers”, check the various tech websites for all the leakage…
Finally it happened! An actual real camera is featured among the Amazon USA deals of the day. It is the new condition Panasonic G7 two lens kit with the 14-42mm and 45-150mm lenses offered for $498 with free shipping, sold and shipped by Amazon itself, with up to three kits per customer at the sale price. Sale ends on Wednesday at 3am ET or earlier if sold out.
The sale price is good for the black or the silver color scheme. Not sure if the limit three is per color or total.
Of course there are many and more options in the world of M43rds these days, especially if you factor in used and refurbished and grey-market options in the mix ~ that’s a fun headache to have 🙂
If you pay with an Amazon store card or the Amazon Chase VISA credit card, you will get a 5% statement credit (depending on whatever promotion your card is on).
If you don’t have either of those cards, pay attention to the Amazon product page and the promotional mini-banners up top. They usually run either 0% financing promotions (usually for the store card) or $XX off for the Chase VISA card. I’m currently seeing a $60 off promotion on the Chase VISA card but the amount may vary depending on the time of the day you check, and who knows what other factors the Amazon AI Price Bots use to decide what to offer to who(m) and when…
Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Weekends at the Discount Mags sale where the theme of this weekend is a bundle, get three magazines for $12 total for one year. If you want more than three from the selection, you can add additional magazines to the bundle for +$4 per magazine per year. These being printed magazines physically delivered to US addresses…
Three photography magazines participate, “Digital Photo PRO”, “Outdoor Photographer” and “Digital Photo”. And of course lots of “six degrees of separation from photography” magazines. Along with other titles such as Stereophile because hours and hours of Photoshopping are more pleasant with quality music 🙂
You can individually select for each magazine whether it’s a renewal or a new subscription but the duration of the subscription (1 or 2 or 3 years) is determined for all magazines in the bundle ~ because the price is for the bundle, not the individual magazines.
For gift purchases, simply place a separate order if you don’t find any other option or way to do so during the checkout process…
This lot of B&H daily deals is running until Tuesday at 11:59pm ET or earlier if sold out as B&H is celebrating the Succos Holiday and running on a holiday schedule:

+ or buy TWO or more units, for $15 each
IT’s a day of “Woot Plus” offerings at the Woot website. At the main Woot, it’s all about Apple products, featuring refurbished iMacs, Airs and PROs… And at “Computers”, they have a sale on various gaming accessories…
A new trio of B&H daily deals is here and as usual for the Friday launches, they run until Saturday at 11:59pm ET but B&H’s website is closed between Friday PM and Saturday PM [check their website for exact times]:
+ iKAN Mylo MB4 Mini Bi-Color Portable Field LED Light for $100 with FREE Mini Insert Slate
+ fear not, a copy of Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto is NOT included 🙂
+ DraCast BoltRay LED600 Plus Bi-Color LED Light for $149
+ Logan 450-1: 40″ Artist Elite Mat Cutter for $125
Thursday October 10 in 2019 is upon us all and with it we have a trio of new B&H dailies running until 11:59pm ET today (or earlier if sold out):
+ Davis & Sanford Traverse TR-553-228 Compact Aluminum Tripod with Ball Head for $50
+ rumors that “Davis & Sanford” are related to “Mumford & Sons” are unfounded 😉
+ refurb TP-LINk Archer A7 AC1750 Wireless Dual-Band Gigabit Router for $30
+ also iON audio thing
For a limited time [this is not a daily deal so expiration time is not known to me] Amazon Germany is offering this DJU Pocket 2 bundle for 309 euro with free shipping in Germany-Austria. The bundle consists of the Osmo Pocket 2 AND the Osmo waterproof pocket case. Limit up to three bundles per customer.
Among the Hump Day Woot Electronics deals of the day is a sale on the new condition Sony Cybershot W800 P&S digital camera (20mp 1/2.3″ CCD, 5x optical zoom (26-130mm eq), Lion, 2.7″ LSD, microSD and MS Duo, etc) in the black color scheme going for $50 with free shipping for Prime members [you have to connect your Woot-Prime accounts ~ a one-time action] or $6 flat for the calendar day for non-members. The camera comes with a 90-day Woot warranty and you can buy up to ten per customer.
That’s $10 per optical zoom unit for those buying The Costco Way 😉
The aforementioned sale includes various other assorted electronics including the new condition Force1 U45WF Wi-Fi Camera Drone for $70, a Phantom 2 controller for $40, a couple of Rokus, a couple of gaming accessories, and more. The reason there are multiple items in a daily deal is because sometimes Woot groups together a “Plus” sale and offers it as a daily deal. I don’t know if the Plus sale will continue after the daily deal expires or it will disband or the items will join other sales and such…
If you missed yesterday’s $80 Chromebook, fear not! Woot Computers comes to the rescue with another one, this one is actually $79, it is the refurbished Dell Chromebook 11-3120 Notebook with the Intel N2840 2.16GHz Dual-Core processor, 4GB DDR3 [important these days], 16GB eMMC of on-board storage, 802.11ac, Bluetooth, etc. It comes with a 90-day Woot warranty. Limit up to ten per customer. Of interest if there’s rough usage for the laptop as it is a MIL-STD model.
IMPORTANT: now that Chromebooks have been around for quite a few years, a new twist/risk is raising it’s semi-ugly head. Google does not offer automated OS updates for platforms that are over 6.5 years old. Note that the clock starts ticking on the platform, not the individual laptop. So the clock for this device began ticking when the first Intel N2840 Chromebook came out. This particular model will get auto-updates until June 2020. Details at 11 or more conveniently at the Google Support page for ChromeOS devices 🙂
UPDATE: while we are on the topic of daily deals, one of the Amazon Gold Box deals of the day is yet another Anker sale featuring various charging products: powerbanks, cables, car and wall and wireless chargers…
