Happy New Year with a Stock Status Tracker update!
The Nikon D850 body only remains elusive, but the Sony a7r III body is available at even more places, now you can get it from Amazon by Amazon itself for $3200, especially of interest if you have Amazon gift cards or paying with a credit card that gets you 5% uncapped credit card rewards on Amazon purchases.
Or if you prefer blazing fast delivery, Adorama continues to offer free overnight delivery, but B&H no longer does.

Good until 7:20pm ET today, the new condition YI Lite Action Camera with Waterproof Case is a lightning deal for $90. On the listing, there’s also a 10% clip-on coupon, which drops it to $81 after you clip it. In general, the clip-on coupons are stackable with lightning deals, but the wordy coupons (the ones you type in the shopping cart) are not stackable (you get the lowest price of either the coupon or the lighting deal).
