Pre-order new sexy Ricoh GR-D III Street Edition for 600 Tall Coffees

Temptation! If you love Big Sensor Primes and you also love your wallet, STOP READING!!!

Available now for pre-ordering is the brand new “Street Edition” Ricoh GR-D III with a pre-order price of $1200 at B&H Photo et al… Check your favorite camera review sites and forums for comparisons to previous models and Fuji competitors…

With so many mirrorless systems and lens options, many of which are shrinking in size too, fixed lens cameras are becoming a harder sell for some, but thankfully not all. This camera is a bit of the opposite of the Sony RX10 Mark IV, in fact so opposite you could have them both as complements and compliments too 🙂

The standard kit includes “Street Editions” of the mini viewfinder, leather strap, ring cap, and “Display Box” ~ in addition to the usual accessories (battery, cable, power adapter, hot shoe cover, etc)…

Pre-order new Tamron 28-200mm f2.8-5.6 Di-III RX [Sony E]

One more zoom-zoom lens option is coming soon for you Sony E-shooters! Tamron has just revealed their brand new 28-200mm f2.8-5.6 Di III RXD lens for the Sony E-system, and it is available for pre-ordering for $729 at B&H Photo et al…

PS: I have double-checked, this is indeed Tamron, not Tokina [because I often get them confused]

For those in the EU, the Amazon Germany Gold Bote is headlined by a sale of Viewsonic projectors ranging from 599 to 1079 euro-dollars [euro in long :)]. I think projectors are under-appreciated as an option. Remember photographers, every empty wall and flat curtain is an opportunity for a slide-show and presentation of your photographic work 🙂

The headliner of the Woot daily deals are renewed iPhone 11 PRO and PRO MAX [how could never-do-anything-wrong-marketing-wise Apple come up with such silly names?] ranging from $770 to $1050…

At the Big Yellow, aka Best Buy, the theme is Acer Nitro gaming gear including a laptop and monitor. There’s also Ryzen 7 3700X & Radeon RX 580 (8GB) combo meal [fries not included], Raspberry Pi 4, 75″ Samsung [or Samsuck one of our commenters used to call it back when they made cameras] QLED TVs, an adorable-looking 256GB Sandisk microSDXC for Nintendo Switch for $55 [too bad memory slots inside devices are not see-through so you can see the pretty colors/designs of memory cards LOL], Xbox, Razer and more offerings! It’s a very busy day at the Best Buy dailies today…

It’s the Ryzen 5 3600 (desktop) the headliner of the NewEGG dailies, along with various memory and storage options, and a Wavlink docking station for power users, and more!
