Amazon Germany Prime Day deals are well under-way and they include three groupings of camera and photo gear, which are chaotically organized ~ not by brand or camera type. They are too many to post individually, but here are some of them:

REMINDER: you have to be a Prime member to get the “Prime Day” deals. You can start a 30-day free trial at any point in time during the promotional two days and get the offers right away…
