Thursday: Hiking Photo Backpack, Product Photography Kit, iHome Smart Light Bulbs, Etc

And just like that, the Prime Dayz of 2023 [CORRECTED, I still live in 2013 apparently] are over, and we are back to the daily grind with a fresh set of B&H Photo daily deals running until 7/13/23 at 11:59pm ET or earlier if sold out:

+ Ruggard FotoTrek PKR-723BL Hiking Photo Backpack (Blue) for $50
+ Bag the Blue Bag!

+ Studio Essentials Product Photography Kit with 2 Fluorescent Lights & 2 Magnetic Tables for $44

+ Inovativ Pro Monitor Mount for $169

+ also Roland video thing, Vertiv UPS thing and Hollyland intercom thing

MEANwhile light arrives at the MEH daily deal, a 4-pack of iHome Smart Dimmable Lighting can be had for $20 plus shipping. Five different type of light bulbs are participating in the sale. Note that these smartypants light bulbs only work with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi net-works, and they use the Geeni app!

PS: the next Samsung Unpacked event has been scheduled for July 26 (2023), and other things equal we will be live-tweeting it, assuming Twitter is still around by then 🙂

Prime Dayz Top Buzzworthy deals

We are outsourcing discovery to Amazon’s AI and algorithms! If you are looking for unusual or unexpected offerings, these are the Top Buzzworthy Deals of this year’s Prime Day.

PS: I’m not posting a link to Day #2 because it’s currently underwear and chicken wings sauce! LOL

Amazon Fire 11 MAX tablet for $150+ [save extra 20% off w/eligible trade-in]

I’m really posting this deal just so I can say that Amazon takes tablets more seriously than Google itself, who is supposed to be the Mother and Guardian of All Things Android 🙂

As part of the Prime Dayz festivities, Amazon is offering its brand new Fire MAX 11 tablet for $150 for Prime members. Or you can buy a bundle with the official Keyboard Case for $240, or for $10 more, you can get it with Keyboard Case + Stylus. This has 64GB with Lockscreen Ads.

But Wait, You Pay Even LESS
But this is actually an even better deal if you are willing to make a trade-in. Amazon offers a 20% off trade-in credit on the purchase price of an eligible trade-in, plus the trade-in value. If you have connected Amazon devices on your account, it will automatically show you the trade-in price. For example, it showed me $5 for a prehistoric Kindle with Keyboard. You can also search for eligible devices in the Trade-IN box over there.

The benefit of this offer is not the trade-in value, but the extra 20% off on the purchase price of the new MAX 11 tablet. The MAX 11 becomes $120, while the Keyboard Case + Stylus bundle becomes $200! Minus the trade-in value of your device as well.

In other words, if you have any old(er) Amazon hardware you don’t need, you can turn it into a solid discount!

DJI Mini 3 Pro Drone with RC Remote Controller, Bundle with 128GB Memory Card, Shoulder Bag, Landing Pad for $829 AC

Day #2 (and last) of Prime Dayz 2023 is here: Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra for $850+

Day #2 aka the last day of the 2023 incarnation of Prime Dayz is here! As one of the Amazon website banners says, shop now, sleep later 🙂

One of the headliners of the sale at this very moment is a big Samsung phone sale with over 120 products, headlined by the new condition US version factory-unlocked Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (S-Pen included) going for $850 in the 256GB variant and $980 in the 512GB variant. Available in multiple color options.

Please feel free to send me an S23 Ultra or two as an early XMas present 😉

The big Samsung sale also includes the Flips and Folds (if you like to pay big bucks to beta test Samsung’s R&D LOL {but please feel free to send me one of each!}), some of the budget A-series phones, and a variety of Samsung-branded “canon” accessories.

Prime Dayz: Rokinon and Samyang Lens sales

One of the stables of Prime Dayz and Holiday shopping deals and Lightning Deals at Amazon are Rokinon and Samyang lenses. And like clockwork, there’s a 4-page sale of Rokinon/Samyang lenses.

Separate from the above, there’s another Rokinon lens sale, this one with 11 participants.

Too many to list here and too many to price-check here individually. You can price-check them at Adorama and B&H Photo if you like…

Fuji Instax Mini exposures: 60 for $34

And now something for fans of instant cameras!

As part of the B&H Photo not-Prime sale, which is of course open to all, not just Prime members (LOL), they have price-matched on a per-print basis one of the Prime Dayz offers.

B&H offers this 60-exposure FUJIFILM INSTAX MINI Value Pack for $34.

Which is exactly half the price of the Prime Dayz 120-pack of Fujifilm for $68.

Speaking of instant, the recurring Kodak Instant Cameras & Printers sale is back for Prime Dayz with 22 options. Yes, they can divide up and play a full soccer game 🙂
