In-Stock Alert: Nikon Z8 starting at $4000

IF the Nikon Z8 is the mirror-nyet full-frame camera the one you want, you are in luck because it is now in-stock and ready to ship at Adorama and by various thru Amazon and at B&H Photo.

Some of the third-party accessories (SmallRig cages, 3Legged bracket, Ikelite underwater) are still in pre-order status.

The body only goes for $4000, the FTZ adapter can be added for +$150 to any kit, while the “take pictures with” kit with the 24-120mm f4 lens goes for $4900. Sadly there’s no 18-55 kit lens option ~ yes, you can be that ironic hipster photographer who carries a $4000 full-frame camera with a $100 18-55 DX non-VR lens attached to it 🙂

Optionally you can click on the “Build a Bundle” buttons at Ado and B&H for “combined purchase discounts” with other lenses and such.

Saturday: B&D Smart kit, Belle Drape Collapsible Background, Etc

As usual, the Saturday B&H daily deals are the same as yesterday, except for the flash sales that expire and any items that potentially sells out ahead of its designated expiration time.

It has a light bulb, therefore it is lighting, therefore it is kinda on-topic, the Saturday 7/22/23 MEH daily deal is a Black & Decker Smart Home kit that consists of a smart light bulb, a smart outlet, and a smart thermostat, all together now for $30 plus shipping.

One item makes up the Saturday Adorama daily deals, the Belle Drape Collapsible Background – 60×72″ (Blue/Green Chroma) going for $30.

Keurig coffee brewers ($79 in different colors), replacement travel mugs ($8) and assorted other “system” accessories have been added to the list of featured Amazon Gold Box offerings. Yes, there’s another K-system, it’s the Keurig K-system 🙂 Still no Pentax branded coffee machines though 😉

If you are looking for new e-books to e-read, there’s over 110 new sales in the Kindle daily deals. On the other hand, if you are a voracious reader, and don’t want to e-own the e-books you e-read, it may be more affordable to subscribe to the Netflix-style Kindle Unlimited subscription.

Speaking of reading, if you are fond of romantic type of ebooks, there’s a Love is in the air sale with 200+ options. Me personally, I’m writing a romance novel about three film-only photographers who meet on a bird watching trip and a dramatic triangle ensues! Working title, “When Canon met Nikon” 😉

And to the FREEBIES, if you are participating in the Lucky’s or SaveMart rewards program, this weekend’s freebie is a 12oz Celsius (brand name) energy/vitamin type of zero sugar type of drink – in a tin.

And we close with a PSA, Trader Joe sent an email recall, a couple of their almond-related products have “Surprise” rocks (!!!) inside! Check their email or website or social media or B&M stores for specifics.
